Voiced by Dean Fagan

Blackguard Big Boggart is an NPC in Elden Ring. Initially encountered as the thief of Rya's Necklace, he is a minor NPC and merchant. 

He is involved in the questlines of Rya and the Dung Eater. Blackguard Big Boggart is available as an NPC Summon against Magma Wyrm Makar by progressing his questline.

 

 Never met someone with a taste for prawns I couldn't trust. 

Blackguard Location in Elden Ring

Blackguard Big Boggart can initially be found in the Liurnia of the Lakes swamps at the Boilprawn Shack, just north of the Scenic Isle grace. [Elden Ring Map Link]

Once befriended, he can be summoned for the Magma Wyrm Makar fight at the Ruin-Strewn Precipice.

Later, he moves to Leyndell in the northern section of the moat near the Capital rampart. [Elden Ring Map Link] (Be cautious about fighting the giant crab in this area as it can breathe Death Blight on him.)

Blackguard Big Boggart Questline: Points of Failure

If you go to the Volcano Manor without speaking to Rya at Liurnia of the Lakes, you will lose access to Blackguard Big Boggart and his questline for the rest of that playthrough. This will also render you unable to purchase Boiled Prawn and Boiled Crab

Blackguard Big Boggart Questline: How to complete Blackguard Big Boggart's Quest

  • Boggart is introduced as the thief who stole a necklace from Rya. He is not remorseful, but offers to sell the necklace back. He warns the player that Rya isn't right in the head.
  • The player can choose to buy the necklace back from Boggart for 1,000 runes, or just kill him. You must at least initiate the quest from Rya before reaching Volcano Manor, when she moves there. If you don't, you will be unable to progress Boggart's questline.
  • If they bought the necklace back, the player can buy Boiled Prawns from him, after which he remarks that he's never met someone with a taste for prawns that he couldn't trust. This befriends him and progresses his questline.
  • If the player bought prawns from Boggart, he moves to Leyndell, in the outer moat near the capital rampart. He will be cooking and selling Boiled Crabs.
  • At the Leyndell moat, he warns the player about his time in prison with the Dung Eater, where Boggart saw him do "unspeakable acts" to corpses. Boggart warns the player to stay clear of Dung Eater.
  • If the Dung Eater's questline is at the point where he will be "waiting in the outer moat", and the blackguard is present in Leyndell, exhaust Big Boggart's dialogue here until he says he thinks the Dung Eater is lurking somewhere nearby.
    • Killing Boggart after this dialogue but before reloading will prevent any further dialogue, but a body will still be seated near the crab pot; however, the body will not have a Seedbed Curse.
  • Then reload the area, and interact with the now-wounded blackguard to trigger the invasion.
  • A Seedbed Curse will be found on Big Boggart's body at the end of his questline, along with his drops. If you have been invaded by the Dung Eater in the moat before Boggart moves there, you will be unable to get a Seedbed Curse from his body.
    • Alternatively, you can save Boggart by aggroing him at the Leyndell moat before freeing the Dung Eater in his cell. Once you have defeated the Dung Eater during his invasion and you have fed Dung Eater's corporeal body Seluvis's Potion and/or killed him in his cell (in which you can do both to obtain the Dung Eater Puppet and the Omen Set simultaneously), head to the Church of Vows to absolve your sin and make Boggart friendly again.
      [There are reports that it no longer works since 1.10, but user xbot668 reports it does work. Try at your own risk] You will miss out the Seedbed Curse, and Boggart will die the moment you use the Celestial Dew.
    • Another way to save Boggart is to simply not buy prawns from him when he's in Boilprawn Shack, as this prompts him to move to his second location in Leyndell. Instead, you can finish Dung Eater's questline and then go back to him. Buy at least one prawn and then go find him at the moat and now he will stay alive and safe from Dung Eater.

Dialogue in Elden Ring: Blackguard

Introduction

  • What are you lookin' at? You trying to start something, mate?

Visit

  • Oh piss off, what is it now? Oh, I see. You want some of me prawn? Freshly cooked it is. Alright then. It's yours, if you can meet me price. I could be persuaded to sell you some other bits too, if you've got the runes.
  • Marika's tits, you must be 'ungry.
  • Alright, mate. Want some more prawn, do ya?

Visit in Leyndell

  • What are you lookin' at? Oh... you again, is it. Perfect bloody timing, actually. I got crab, cooked up fresh.
  • Alright, mate. Want some more crab, do ya?

Dialogue Choices

  • (Give me the necklace) Oh, that necklace what you're after, is it? Hmm, well... Show me what it's worth to you, and I'll consider parting ways with it. I'm not in love with it or nothing.
  • (Leave, then talk) What the hell is wrong with you. You trying to start something? Piss off. Before I crack you in 'alf.
  • (Deal) You're a shrewd one, chief. First, you hand me the runes. And don't try nothin', neither.
  • (Refuse) Think you're bloody clever, do ya? Then how about you piss off? fore I crack you in 'alf.
  • (Refuse, then talk) This bloody swine... Decided to play ball now, 'ave you? You'll be wanting the necklace, then?

§Small Talk

  • (About Rya) Oh, so you met the girl, did ya? Alright, well, sod the particulars of the matter, but it ain't my fault she's stupid enough to get duped, is it. Anyway, she ain't all right, that one. Lucky she ain't died on the bloody roadside, I reckon.
  • You're Tarnished too, ain'tcha? Can you see it then? The guidance of grace, I mean. I can't see it at all no more.

  • (About the Dung Eater) E's a killer. Kills people and curses their souls... Does all sorts of **** to their corpses, to keep 'em cursed, forever. I ain't seen nothin' more disgustin' in all my years. I ain't never been more scared, neither. Rooted to the bloody spot... While 'e did all that, to my friend...
  • (About the Dung Eater, after releasing him) Never thought I would. What 'e does to those bodies. It was... It was 'im, no question. That monster. He's lurkin' round 'ere.

Wounded

  • Heh... serves me right. Fitting bloody end, for a jumped up little **** with big ideas...
  • Help me out, would ya, mate... I don't wanna get cursed. Just let me die... I don't wanna live like this... not anymore... So, please...

Combat

  • (Warning) What's your blinkin' problem! You don't mess with Big Boggart, mate.
  • (Combat) That ***** put you up to this, eh. Damn it! I'll rip you to shreds!
  • (On player kill) You feel that, eh? That's the fists of Big Boggart.
  • (On death) Goddamn it. Why ain't it me, why ain't it ever...

Other

  • (After buying prawns) Never met someone with a taste for prawns I couldn't trust. We'd make good mates, I reckon. I'll be seeing ya.
  • (After buying Rya's Necklace) Hmm... Alright. Take it. Thing's no damn use to anyone, anyway. Your bloody idea, mate. Don't come crying to me later.

      Couldn't save him.
      Got Big to the outer mote, exhausted his dialogue, including the one about Dung Eater being around, agroed him.
      Then reloaded the area and killed Dung Eater. At that point Big was standing next to his bbq.
      I went for absolution, came back and found him dying, strapped to the chair. Dang it.

        Can confirmed, he is not dead after I hit him a few time to make him an enemy, Dung Eater didn't kill him and now I can buy every crab I want

          I failed his quest by going to volcano manor the gelmir route, should I kill him for braggarts roar cos I kinda want it

            As of the patch 1.10 I can confirm that the aggroing method to save him still works.
            Btw, I never selected his Dung Eater dialogue once he moved to the moat after buying prawns from him and reaching Altus. Not sure if that might have been the reason why he didn't die.

              On PS5, I bought prawns from Boggart and triggered him leaving Boilprawn Shack. Before I spawned him at the moat, I freed Dung Eater. I then met Boggart at the moat and aggroed him, rested at a grace, and when I went back, the Dung Eater invasion triggered with Boggart still alive and aggroed. After I killed Dung eater's invasion, got him tied to a chair and gave him Seluvis's potion to turn him into a puppet, I then used a celestial dew to de-aggro Boggart (per the crossed out section on this page). Boggart's now alive and well and a full-time seafood hawker :)

                It was fortunate that I didn't buy boiled shrimp from him, he was still alive until I finished this DungEater mission.

                    Here's one for you. I progressed Dung Eater's quest until he said he'd defile me at the moat. I went to moat: nothing. Bounced back and forth a bit: nothing. I figured maybe I had to progress Boggart, so I bought the necklace, returned it to Rya, and then bought prawn. Boggart has disappeared from the prawn shack, but won't appear at the moat. So Dung Eater won't invade, and Boggart has vanished. I guess FromSoft is punishing me for trying to save Boggart. Was all set up to make him a puppet, but I guess I can't now.

                      If you don't want to have the dung eater ending or have him as a puppet and you just want his armor you can always just kill the dung eater immediately after opening his cell I had already moved boggart near leyndell and I refused to let him die lol otherwise just let the dung eater rot in his cell

                          It's a cruel that the note about saving him is the last paragraph in his quest description. I looked up why he wasn't in the moat and I realized I forgot to buy prawns from him. So after I bought some prawns I checked the quest line and noticed that I could save him if I didn't buy prawns yet.

                            All of this would be fixed if they would have just invested in making a quest log. Don't visit the moat if you haven't bought a prawn or the quest ends (thought I had done that step). Dung invasion happened and then I moved Boggart to the moat. He's now just a merchant.

                              Should've been an alternate quest ending where it's Boggart just beating the absolute living brakes off of Dung Eater while he screams and cries in agony and it just goes on forever and ever like Gostoc stomping on Godrick's disembodied head at Stormveil

                                Man it's a shame his quest is there just to put him in the perfect spot to die to another NPC. Makes him feel like a bit player in his own questline.

                                In my first playthrough I killed Dung Eater in his cell after Boggart tells you how badly he murked a friend of his, and the game doesn't even acknowledge it. Like at least give me a dialog option to tell him poopman is dead or something, ****

                                    Yeah saving Boggart is fine and all, but you know what's even better? Buying crab at the roundtable instead of having to visit this guy in the middle of nowhere

                                        Can confirm that the Celestial Dew method of saving Boggart *DOES* work on 1.10. same as it did before. Whoever edited the wiki to claim otherwise is wrong.

                                        I even got the crab to kill Dung Eater with Deathblight this time. It was pretty great:)

                                              Simply don’t do Dungeaters quest and he stays alive no? I’m a crab enjoyer so Dungeater can eff off, I don’t use summons anyway.

                                                    I thought there were only 5 seedbed curses in the game so he needed to die for the dung eater's quest. It seems there are 6 seedbed curses in the game so you can save him with peace of mind and relinquish his seedbed curse.

                                                      Big Boggart is supposed to be killed by Dung Eater. That is the way this quest was designed. If you save him by any work-around method in the guide, you cannot get the Seedbed Curse required for Dung Eater's quest. There are only 5 Seedbed Curses in the game afaik.

                                                      • I came here to update the wiki to inform people you can save Boggard by aggroing him before doing Dungeater's quest, but apparently I wasn't the first to think of that.

Man can cook a meal batch of crustacean too. Big Boggart Forever <3

                                                                  • Anonymous

But after a short break and coming back I did dung eaters quest as normal, got him to spawn at the moat, killed him. Then realized boggart wasn’t there. Thought it was a bug. Fast traveled to his shack and there he was alive and well. Progressed his quest out of curiosity, got him to relocate to the moat. Then to further my curiosity, I exited the game and reloaded the are and this beautiful man was still alive and well. So as it turns out if you ignore or skip him, kill the dung eater. It allows him to stay alive granted you won’t get a seed using this method but hey it’s a happy ending…for once

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  fast forward to now, I’ve gotten dung eaters puppet, visited the church of vows for absolution. Boggart has been alive and well and I’ve purchased food from him several times.

                                                                                  Then, tonight, I completed Ranni’s quest.
                                                                                  I thought I would go stock up on prawn for Morgott’s fight, but when I got there he… he was dead. defiled. gone. i don’t know what I did wrong. I’m sitting here wishing I had never bought from him in Liurnia, but dung eater’s been dead for weeks- and yet…

                                                                                  and yet…….


                                                                                  maybe I’ll reconsider the Frenzied Flame ending.

The fact you can so easily lock yourself out of the most useful pvp consumable is f*cking stupid; it's even worse since both Rya and Boggart can still be interacted with. This is pure trash quest design, very common From Software issue.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

You can free the Dung Eater from his cell, but do NOT select this dialogue option. Aggro Blackguard, reload the area, kill the Dung Eater, absolve your sins at the Church of Vows, and Blackguard will be alive.

Just don't buy any prawn from him until after you've given the Dung Eater Seluvis's potion and made him into your puppet. He won't move to Leyndell outskirts until you've bought at least one prawn from him.

                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                            Boggart likely used to be a colosseum duelist, or is a descendant of one.

                                                                                            The first clue to this are the Iron Ball Fists he wields in battle, which are similar to the Star Fists found near the Leyndell Colosseum. The latter's item description states that they were "used in brutal games of pugilism." Given their location, I think it's fair to say this refers to ceremonial duels held during Godfrey's reign.

                                                                                            Furthermore, some of the duelists drop Battle Hammers, the only weapons whose default skill is "Braggart's Roar." Likewise, the Ash of War of this skill can exclusively be acquired by unequipping it from Boggart's Iron Ball Fists, which have it slotted by default.

                                                                                            And lastly, although this will sound like I'm racial profiling him, the (non-rotten) duelist enemies have dark skin like Boggart, which sadly is such a rare occurence in Elden Ring that you can say it's a deliberate visual connection.

                                                                                            It's pretty frighening that Dung Eater was able to easily subdue an experienced warrior like Boggart. Even if you don't think he fought in Erdtree ceromonial combat, he still did hunt crabs and prawns with only his fists.

                                                                                            Anyway, Dung is a puppet now, so no one else will suffer Boggart's fate.

                                                                                                When you can buy the pendant from him, buy it BUT don't speak to him again, go to Rya and give her the necklace, now you are FREE to explore as you please, reach Leyndell, start the Dungeater quest, kill his invading spirit (he will invade you there but Boggart will not move from Liurnia) Kill the invading dungeater and go back to Boggart and buy prawn from him, you will now get to have additional dialogue (the usual one he does when you first meet him, unlock the gesture you usually get and he will move to Leyndell, he is now saved from the Dungeater, tested it 2 times with two characters)

                                                                                                Although if you aren't a Boggart Enjoyer, having his bell bearing next to the roundtable is better to save time

                                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                                    • I can confirm that the aggro method can still be used to progress Dung Eater's quest and still save Boggart! He had already relocated to Leyndell and I went through all his dialogue before releasing Dung Eater. I avoided talking to Boggart again so that I wouldn't trigger the dialogue about Dung Eater lurking nearby, and instead I threw a few throwing daggers at him to make him hostile and then I ran away (be careful that he doesn't end up getting attacked by the giant crab). I rested at a nearby grace, passed time until night, then returned to the area and got invaded by Dung Eater and defeated him (keep your distance from Boggart so he doesn't come to attack you during the fight).
                                                                                                      I ended up feeding the potion to Dung Eater and then killed him to get both his armor and his ashes, then went to the Church of Vows for absolution from aggro'ing Boggart. I returned to find him still happily cooking up crabs, and not horrifically defiled. Praise the friendship!

                                                                                                            without knowing of his role in Dung Eater's quest, i had met him, bought crab, exhausted dialouge, went on my way. much later on did all of Dungy's quest, "meet me at the moat", go to moat, there is a body, kill Dung Eater invader, reload area with Grace, Boggart is there.

                                                                                                            i never aggroed him, i never used celestial dew, i just never talked to him again after meeting him in Lyndell.
                                                                                                            so was it just from never seeing his line about Dungy "lurkin' round" ?

                                                                                                            • Anonymous

Fitting for his character more than "blackguard" which doesn't relate to anything he does.

I'm in NG+4 so i speedrun the first part and use the virgin abductor under the academy to teleport to volcano manor, WHY TF HE DOESNT WANT TO SELL ME HIS STUFF??
                                                                                                                      Quest make no sense, he doesn't know me why wouldn't he sell me crab?? They really think that people will go through the chore of joining the volcano manor the regular way after 200 hours of play time?? No, people want to get there fast, if i want to be stressed out because i have to think of ten convulted quests at the same time i would play tarkov instead

                                                                                                                        I tested this out. So the wiki here says to save Boggart, you either need to a) never talk to him until you've dealt with Dung Eater, or b) aggro him before releasing Dung Eater from his cell.

                                                                                                                        But I managed to save Boggart despite him having relocated to Leyndell and releasing the Dung Eater after that. What I did was to make sure not to talk to Boggart after DE's release (so as not to trigger the third dialogue), but instead aggro Boggart, run away and then reload the area. When you return, Boggart is still aggroed, and DE invasion will also happen. Just make sure to kill DE, run away, then celestial dew for absolution, and you've saved DE.

                                                                                                                        This is mostly for those who already progressed the quest to this point but still want to save Boggart. Just make sure not to talk to Boggart after having released DE and continue on with the aggro technique.

                                                                                                                      Load more
