To get the Rotten Winged Insignia, you have to move toward the Haligtree Roots to defeat the Ulcerated Tree Spirit boss in Elden Ring. The fight is going to be tricky as your enemy can one-shot you, so you must rely on dodging and attacking the enemy from afar.
Once you defeat the tree spirit, two summoning signs will appear toward the end of the Haligtree Roots area. You must select the one that allows you to assist Millicent against her four sisters.
The selection of the correct sign will bring you inside the Millicent world, and you will fight against her four sisters. All her sisters use different weapons and styles, so come prepared for the fight.
The trick to defeating all the sisters is to keep the battle away from the pool of Scarlet Rot, as you will lose your health automatically due to the effect of rot.
Additionally, you must ensure that you keep one or two sisters engaged and away from Millicent. This will ensure the defeat of the sisters due to your teamwork.
At the end of the fight, you need to find Millicent by going toward the edge of the Scarlet Rot pool and interacting with her. After the end of your conversation, she will reward you with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia in Elden Ring.
