Gowry makes a tough decision - one that can be argued to be selfish desire - as he asks the player to assist Millicent's "sisters" who had embarked on the journey to the Haligtree before her in a plot to murder Millicent. Unfortunately, Gowry avoids her, stating that his role in Millicent's life is complete, and she must begin her journey to fulfill her destiny. Millicent's health improves after this, and she comes to Gowry's shack before leaving town for the Haligtree, even though she is uncertain of her purpose for coming as her memory has not yet recovered. She is held captive by the Pests, who worship her because they believe she is a vessel for the Scarlet Rot. Once the player agrees to Gowry's request, Gowry informs them of Millicent's dire situation as a hostage at the Church of the Plague, located on the cliff overlooking Sellia. He is looking to enlist a Tarnished to help him in this uphill fight against the forces plaguing Millicent, offering knowledge of the secrets of Sellia as a reward for the player's help. This is quite the task, as Gowry notes that even demigods with their near-immortality could not resist the rotting sickness. Showing parental instincts, Gowry feels a sense of responsibility and worry for Millicent's fate, wanting to save her from her illness after he failed to save her sisters. He developed a close connection to Millicent throughout her growing years, only to be robbed of any relationship with her due to the external influences of the Scarlet Rot. As an adoptive parent, this has to be the most heartbreaking ordeal for Gowry to go through.
