Elden Ring: We can save the life of an NPC by compliment

You think the world of Elden Ring is just cruel and mean? Well, for large parts of the trip through the intermediate country, this also applies. But at least there are a few bright spots, such as an NPC that we can save from a sad fate - and only in nice words. We'll tell you how to do it.

Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers for the output of an NPC quest.

The NPC Questline

That's what it's about: right in the starting area, Limgrave, we meet for the first time on Boc, which was transformed into a tree by congratulating circumstances. If we free it from this form, his true shape shows: Boc is a half -person, but a little more classified than his other peers who attack us screeching.

In the course of his quest, Boc steps into the footsteps of his beloved mother and becomes tailor, just like her. He is faithful to us and can make changes to armor. During a conversation in Leyndell, he expresses that he considers himself ugly in his monkey -like shape and that he would like to be born with a more suitable exterior.

The obvious solution: Most players who play without guides will meet this wish by bringing Boc to BOC a larval tears with which he can experience the rebirth from Rennala - just like we, when we are new to our stats Distribute or change our appearance.

With the wishes, this is one thing: As so often in From software games, it doesn't end well when we try to fulfill an NPC a wish. With the larval tears, Boc is born as a young man.

But he does not answer when we speak to it and as soon as we reload the area, it is simply dead. The poor Boc is one of the characters whose lives we destroy if we try to help - but only if we are Obvious way.

BOC Save with a compliment

Instead of fushing Boc's wish and giving it a different look, we can also suggest, so to speak, that this is not necessary.

To do this we have to "just" tell him that he is beautiful. Actually, it is not difficult to do, but you just have to come to that.

This is how you find the necessary item: You may have discovered the speech, the "You are beautiful" says by chance and used to strengthen the self-confidence of your co-op partners. If not: you will find the item in the Einsiedlerdorf in Gelmir , northeast of the grace craftsman hut . It is located on a half -human body on a staircase in front of a tidy door.

In order to convince BOC that he is beautiful and does not need a rebirth, just use your head in front of him and then choose the dialog option that goes into it. Do you need a little more support to find all the steps of the quest? This video will help you:

subtle information

Of course, from software has hidden a lot of clues to solve the quest in the game. So the description of Rennala's big rune gives us an indication that the rebirth with its help may not be a good idea (don't worry - you don't concern yourself):

Children reborn from Rennala are weak and often do not live for long. Incorrect creatures, all together.

Also as far as the speech head is concerned, tips are hidden. The Einsiedlerdorf, in which we find the Redkopf, is inhabited by half -people. We find the item itself in a body and in the ITEM description we read:

Unconditional love. Sincere encouragement. This can only be a mother's voice.

Boc talks a lot about his mother and recognizes her voice when we use the Red Break. On the other hand, however, the clues that lead us to a sad end with Boc's death are much more clearly because he talks directly to us about Rennala.

Tell us how Bocs Questline went with you.
