The fastest way to that region leads eastwards of Gowry's Shack, or you can travel north from Southern Aeonia Swamp Bank. You will notice that you are getting close to the boss thanks to a large number of roots and tree trunks.
After defeating the boss, go back to Gowry. He will give you a reward - Sellia's Secret. During the conversation, he will inform you that he needs some time to repair the needle.

Head north through the canyon in the Altus lowlands. When you reach the castle, you have to defeat the Cleanrot Knight , who guards the room with the prosthesis.
To get to the enemy, you need to get to the interior of the castle and climb a long ladder that leads to the castle walls. Once there, you'll encounter a few standard opponents and the aforementioned knight.
After the battle is victorious, return to Millicent (Altus Plateau) and give her the prosthesis. Millicent's next stop is Windmill Village. There is a Godskin Apostle in the vicinity. Defeat it and rest at a site of grace. After resting, you should see Millicent.

The arrow on your map will lead you to an arena where you need to face the tree spirit. If you're playing a mage, you can easily dispose of it by going downstairs and then going upstairs through the tree root and throw magic projectiles during this move.
Once the boss is defeat, go down. On the right side, you will notice two signs, one yellow and one red.
If you take the yellow one, you'll help Millicent defeat four sisters that are out to get her. The red one means you need to face Millicent in battle.
This choice has some consequences. Both options are rewarded with a talisman, but its powers will differ depending on the decision you've made. Nevertheless, choosing the yellow sign is rewarded with a needle that can help you avoid one of the endings. Killing Millicent means that you won't receive the needle, so the decision is up to you.
