several "other npcs" should be merchants, such as patches and boggart

would appreciate a separate page for spirits tbh, for the purpose of organization but also to make sure all of the spirits and their dialogue are documented. a lot seem to be missing here
- Anonymous
see I don't hate how they did the quests but I just don't think it fits the OW. playing hide and go seek on an entire continent is just too ridiculous.. and honesty that sums up why I'm not as huge of a fan of this game as most people. they changed it to OW, but didnt really try to make anything fit around that. at least they added a map, I guess.
- Anonymous
so bad, all those npcs are flowers pots, even demon souls ps3 had better and logical questing.
the best roleplay of this dumpster game is to kill everyone, it's very immersive. also same voice actors since 15 year xD
ranni is an entire dlc, while the others are just useless at best xD but problem is she the same generic anime witch you see in all souls games, mixed with the doll of bloodborne, so unique xD
I honestly miss the photos like Judicator Argo from the Ds3 wiki where he looks like he’s going to punch you all the way back too DeS

I wish there was more information about the quests.. or at least a ****ing marker on the map
- Anonymous
Yeah... they could have done a bit better of a job with the quest progression. Or at least giving the player an idea of where to go. The Npc icons are a very welcome addition.
"Search every single square inch of Atlas Plateau" is not a good hint. I'm not looking for a quest marker, but damn. I had a good idea of where to find Coryn, but I still walked right past him because I wasn't on the road.
Ironically, because I was exploring and trying to find everything, I almost missed him because I didn't follow the most direct route. Is "Hey Tarnished, over here!" too much hand holding? Overall, I think this approach works in their previous titles, but not in an open world where the npcs barely stick out of the environment.

I don't know how to feel about ER/SB quests... On one hand for those who care to complete every quest without looking things up, it is borderline impossible. And I don't think it's intended. I think we are supposed to work together and log these things for others to be able to complete them. I wish there was a way to do it in-game though.
And on the other hand it is so cool when you're just walking through an are exploring or happen to revisit an area just to see an old friend you weren't expecting.

Why do you have to talk to them multiple times to get them to spit out all their dialog? I keep hearing the same line of dialog twice cause sometimes I can't tell if they're done talking or not.

SPOILERS.
I'd say the most saddest part about this is that most of the likeable npcs you've met through the Journey really are proud of your achievements,thankful for your help and in return did what they could to help you and actually for once in a god damn RPG game,Acknowledges you as the Elden Lord...But alas.
By the end of the game,They'll sadly never get to see how far you came because fate is cruel
nor you get the chance to tell them what you've achieved so far and what they really wanted to hear for so long because they'll either lose their sanity/mind or worse....Dementia.

All the spirits can be just one page, really. A table with pictures on the left, their dialog in the middle, and their location at the end.

I don’t have any solutions, but I really think From should get an improved system for player experience of quests
I don’t know how man, I just think they would be more proud if they could create a much more smooth experience for the different circumstances in which players complete the quests
A separate tab for spirits would be highly appreciated. They are not important to most people and make a mess on the page.

The BEEG Albinuric that is part of Latenna's quest is called "Phillia, Towering Little Sister".
While we're at it, it would probably be worth putting Latenna, the Albinuric on here too.

There's a guy at the end of the hallway with the drawing rooms at Volcano Manor that appears after you've assissinated two of your targets. He tells you about Rykard and asks you to kill him. Shouldn't he be listed here as well? I'm asking because I've never heard about him anywhere.

For being the most 'bright' entry in the souls series, Elden Ring has some of the most brutal ends for the npcs

It's crazy how most of these NPCs die or go mad if you progress their questlines. Very few of them get a somewhat happy ending. FromSoft is brutal

Some merchants play beautiful songs on their violins, including a section of the Gerhman's theme. Don't kill them because you will miss out on beautiful music

The frustrating part of these games is how sometimes an NPC will simply disappear without saying where they're going, and you either have to stumble upon them in this huge world by luck or Google where the **** they went to so that you can continue a questline. Diallos is a perfect example. One minute he's at the roundtable, all he asks of you is to look for his servant, then he just disappears. Why make the game more difficult than it already is lol

I swear to ****ing christ, soulsborne fandom is riddled with the whiniest bunch of entitled pricks I've ever heard of. You lot really make the world a shittier place. Now go ahead and downvote me into oblivion, ya buncha incel edgelords.

I killed every merchant i could find, for their stuff :D
That was very tiresome though, so after that i went home and played some Elden Ring.

I like how there are two different NPC sections on this page: Merchants/Trainers, and every other NPC... yet there's like 6 different merchants in the "Other" section (Patches, Gowry, Gostoc, Blackguard, Seluvis, and literally the merchant with the largest and most important inventory in the ****ing game: Twin Husks)
Or why is Rennala in the Trainer section? Like maybe on a technicality sure, but then why would she be a trainer and not MELINA the npc that ****ing levels you???

I have been trying to do research to find out but can't seem to find anything, does anyone know why lore wise there seems to be 2 of every character, the ones you meet as NPC's that you chat to and they nearly all seem to have a red invasion version that will attack you at certain locations like Millicent is an NPC at the top of a hill in Caelid with a questline and she is pure friend. Also in Caelid at the bottom in the Scarlett rot swamp a red version of her will attack you. According to NPC's and stories these invading characters are canon in the world as you have to fight several of them that know NPC's like Eleanora with Yura or the fight against Dungeater with Boggart but I can't seem to find any lore reason as to why there seem to be so many evil clones.

D, Hunter of Death's name is Darius. His twin underground, D, Beholder of Death is named Devin. They never say their own names, but mention each others. Darius only mentions his brothers name after dying from the player. I suggest calling them these names on the wiki though, out of confusion.

Fun tip:
If you see messages on the ground saying things like "friend" "lovable sort" etc, implying there is an possible NPC here at some point, make sure you mark that spot down! and come back now and then to check for storylines. Much more fun and engaging then looking up guides.

I'm so glad this is a hardcore game that doesn't magically show you NPCs you haven't met yet on the map and instead makes you look up their location on fextrafile, old school-like.

It's a shame there weren't more npc's but considering how some questlines and npc's weren't even finished on release, I get why. Just seems like for a vast world, you get a lot of the same enemies, rarely with something new late game. I wouldn't mind if they keep updating and in two years there were 30 more npc's added, it would make a big difference imo. Another jar guy named jeff, I don't really care, just something more.
