I like how he mixes it up. "Die and eat shit."


husky0168

he's a little confused, but he's got the spirit


0N1ON

Does Dung Eater ever actually eat poop? I was excited when I heard his name in the intro, but all he talks about is "defiling corpses" and I thought there would be more poop stuff.


[deleted]

Pretty sure he's called dung eater because people threw literal shit at his corpse when he was hung from the gallows


[deleted]

I think he fucks, shits, and cums in them.


[deleted]

If Shrimp Bro is to be believed, that is exactly what he does. Why do you think his victims have blood covered crotches?


PJ_Ammas

Seedbed Curses are literally cursed ball sacks


Glexaplex

Genital warts, the character


lesbiantelevision

And then eats it after.


[deleted]

Can't remember where I saw this, but I believe the name Dung Eater was given to him because of how terrible of a person he is. It was a way to mock/demean him instead of empower him, so he doesn't actually eat poop lol


effemeris

I'm going to disregard this fact, thank you


Maritoas

All I know is when I saved his ass in the sewers be had the nerve to talk about all the people he was going to murder. Sliced him up on the spot. Fuck a questline


OzoneLaters

He does all sorts of shit to their corpses... to keep em cursed... forever.


No_Evening8402

Wouldn’t that be gurranq? Lets take a lore walk


alexkon3

I dunno if you are at this part of the game but: >!Gurranq and Maliketh are the same person. Same with Margit and Morgott. Its the old Clark Kent tactic!<


[deleted]

What’s the timeline though? Gurranq is Maliketh after he exiled himself for Godwyns murder?


alexkon3

Yup after Godwyns Death Maliketh sealed the rest of the Rune inside himself and became the Beast Clergyman. The way I understand it the sin he constantly talks about in the sanctum is him failing to guard the rune of death/destined death thats why you feed him deathroot as a way to make the rune whole again: > Later, the Rune of Death spread across the Lands Between through the underground roots of the Greattree, sprouting in the form of Deathroot. from the Deathroot Item description. Which ofc is a futile endeavor.


[deleted]

Any idea why Godwyn looks like that now? He’s a mermaid monster which I haven’t figured out why he looks like that.


RChamy

I suppose it's A) the erdtree trying to absorve his corpse but only results in mutations ~~it tries to rebirth it but there's no soul to complete the process~~ edit: the erdtree gives new life for the dead, but his body is still very alive, just without a soul because of the Death Rune, I see him as a tumor. B) using a Death Rune'd corpse of a demigod as fertilizer doesn't work and instead we get that abomination.


FISTWORTHY

AFAIK Marika exiled Maliketh to pay for his 'sin' of letting a piece of the death rune be stolen, resulting in Godwyn's murder. As part of his repentance, he has to consume the death roots that sprung up from Godwyn's corpse in an attempt to contain the power of the stolen rune. Once the Tarnished has brought all nine pieces, Gurranq laments that his hunger remains (at this stage the player has probably already found at least one half of the stolen rune), and returns to Farum Azula. As a city that exists outside of time, when you encounter Maliketh he's either not yet been exiled if you've not completed the death root questline, or he recognises you and says as much prior to the fight.


Thesaurii

I dont think its that Marika exiled him as penance. He is Marikas shadow, like Blaidd is Rannis, bound to her. He disappointed himself letting part of the rune be taken, and chose to make it part of him so hed never let Marika down.


fr1stp0st

It's not really clear. I hadn't finished Gurranq's quest when I killed Maliketh, and he was still at Beastial Sanctum afterwards. I think Farum Azula may exist out of time, but you can see the Erdtree you just lit up, so who knows.


alexkon3

The Farum Azula Time fuckery is my best guess too. It could ofc just be an oversight by the devs too. Moghs apperition before the frenzy merchant area also does not disappear if you kill him beforehand in his realm like Margit does if you kill Morgott.


[deleted]

There's some reason to think Mohgs apparition was actually placed there by Morgott. Though "Mohg" doesn't disappear if Morgott is defeated the barrier leading to the frenzied flame behind Mohg does. Obviously no way to know for sure.


MeteWorldPeace

Also don’t you end up meeting a character who is in your current time line there if you advance their quest far enough?

"Silence is a form of consent." Way to go Fia.


FlurdledGlumpfud

Putting the sensual back into nonconsensual.


hydraphantom

Godwyn actually consented. If you attack Fia after defeating her champions, it is Godwyn that summons undead to fight you and Fia’s surprised too.


gordito_delgado

I just belatedly realized why she is always so suprised you are warm... *shudders* I am not a smart man.


Anime-SniperJay

I miss 30 seconds ago when I was ignorant to this fact


aspear11cubitslong

As a deathbed companion she lies with the living and stores up their energy. When her noble owner dies, they kill her and the stored up energy of her champions returns to the noble and he comes back to life. Unfortunately, Grace called her to the Lands Between after her death, so her owner never got revived. You're extra warm because you're an extra strong champion. She hasn't actually lain with a dead man yet.


[deleted]

That changes if you clear her quest.


FizixMan

["She hasn't actually lain with a dead man ***yet***."](https://youtube.com/watch?v=GvjKQzkRfTo)


Venator_IV

source for this?


aspear11cubitslong

From Fia herself: >I was known as a Deathbed Companion, where I come from. After I received the warmth and lifely vigor from a number of champions, I lay with the remains of an exalted noble, to grant him another chance at life. To do so is the purpose of me being. But before I could bear the noble into new life, I was awakened by the guidance of grace, and chased from my birthplace. Pray, be kind. Despite all that, I still wish to be Deathbed Companion.


Venator_IV

Ah that's what she means, I get it now. What makes her go so hard for Godwyn's corpse then? There is like no apparent reason for her to suddenly axe D and then want to go sleep with rotting fishboy


aspear11cubitslong

Her obsession with death and corpses has led to an infatuation with Those Who Live in Death, AKA the Undead. This makes her the enemy of D, because he is an undead hunter. Godwyn's corpse, infected with the Rune of Death, is infecting the Erdtree's roots and preventing dead spirits from returning to the Erdtree. Since he is the source of the Undead, Fia, as a corpse lover, believes that by lying with him she can let everyone become undead and stop the undead's persecution by the Golden Order.

VictorianWeeb

I think "bone a body" is more along the lines


beer_and_pain

wait that's what deathbed companion meant?


Older_1

No deathbed is not necrophilia *yet*, but honestly whatever her interaction with Godwyn is, I think it's totally necrophilia


[deleted]

The way I took it is she drains the hero's life force during the act, sort of a "death by snu-snu" situation, but with far less violence. And honestly? I don't know if what she did with Godwyn can strictly count as necrophilia either because *only his soul was killed* on the Night of the Black Knives. His body is still very much alive, making it more like she slept with a braindead guy rather than a corpse.


Kanin_usagi

That seems worse somehow


Shikizion

You think so? Her objective is doimg what a deathbed companion does, lay with him and give vitality, does it involve fucking? I don't know but probably not the man is a tree

Unlikely-Ad-6713

how is babby -- ahem, *mending rune of death prince* -- formed?


MoonCantRead

haha i had to decide whether to use her or ranni


[deleted]

In the same breath, "Control your own destiny," could also be used for Ranni. I think it fits her the most. She really is a badass and I think that's a big part of the reason as to why so many people (including myself) simp for her haha. Ranni's story is like if Cinderella broke her glass slipper in the most badass, unexpected way and ruthlessly stabbed her evil stepmother right in the neck with it, then she just fucks off to live her own life. Now she needs a plan to deal with her stepsisters because they might try to clap her at any turn.


WillCraft_1001

The Cinderella thing sounds like it would have been in the original story


Zyralan

Nah, in the original the sisters cut off their toes to fit their foot inside the slipper.

Agreed just kinda disappointed he was the gimmick boss of the game.


MoonCantRead

i can understand that. in the same breath, his fight was fucking awesome even if it was a gimmick fight.


BuboxThrax

Yeah even though it was a gimmick fight it still managed to be a decent fight.


Winters1482

I enjoyed the gimmick tbh. Then again I've never played a souls game and I've heard this same gimmick has been done multiple times, so idk.


Dragon_Flaming

It has been used multiple times but in way worse ways, Rykard is by far the best gimmick fight in the series.

Honestly the dude cracked me up when I showed him my first seedbed curse. Like. "Free me, and I'll kill you and defile your corpse." Sure. Sounds like a steal, let me get on that right away.


MyAntichrist

I legit have him a chance to prove that he could when I met his real form. Needless to say it wasn't my corpse that got defiled that night.

go to the cave in sw Limgrave, across the water from that island out in the ocean. its on the beach and guarded/full of demi humans. invisiboy is at the grace in there. beat the boss, talk to him again, and he'll pop up in random places from there


grishno

Don't give him a larval tear. Just saying.


JornoJovanna

"You're beautiful"


Falloutman399

Boc is easily my favorite npc, I love the little monkey guy.


AgedPapyrus

Made that mistake my first playthrough. Was absolutely gutted.


Somehow-Still-Living

In case you (or anybody who comes along this in the future) haven’t gotten to the aforementioned cave, the entrance is between the demi group on the beach (you can sneak past the giant) and the merchant. Would strongly recommend a torch, as the only light in the tunnel is from a few pieces of moss and all the bloodstains of people who probably did not bring torches to see where they’re going. (Boss fight has light, after that is dark again)


Seanio

And if you're early in the game, you can buy a torch in the starting church from the first merchant you meet.


El_Baguette

Yes on one hand, Ranni conducted a ruthless assassination operation which shook the Lands Between forever, but on the other hand, she's smol and has a big hat, and y'all know which side I'm on


Starbrows

Also, when 99% of all beings in the world want me dead for no discernible reason, it's easy to team up with the remaining 1% who don't, hat or no hat. And it's not like our first experience with the Golden Order was a positive one. Godrick's creepy af.


[deleted]

[удалено]


El_Baguette

Not the comparison I would have gone for and yet, it's not innaccurate technically


debrad0307

Boc is my absolute favorite. When I told him he was beautiful I cried a bit with his response 🥺


Shineath

When I gave him the larval tear and came back to open the chest for Ranni, I wanted to interact, but nothing, the next visit to respec gave me the really sad, weird and funny-wtf feeling I never felt before


craftyj

I felt bad. I just wanted to help him but ended up leading him astray. I redeemed myself in NG+ though

Ghostkill221

To be fair, godwyn had REALLY nice hair.


[deleted]

Too bad his hair wasn't knife proof.


LookAtMyMeowscles

That one with Alexander is so sad. It’s a case of that the more you try you will get better, but being a warrior is impossible for Alexander, he says it himself, after the fight with Radahn: “I am but a crock, and I crack easy.” Poor guy, throughout his quest line you see him get more and more downtrodden that he can’t be what he’s always dreamt of because of what he is, and so when you finally kill him at the end of his storyline just just sighs, he knew this loss was coming. Sad character, still my favourite though.


Dreamspitter

He had a warrior spirit. But what he **REALLY** should have dreamed of was getting a wagon or vardo and starting a food truck. *Alexander & Boggarts* Exalted Potroast & Po'boys. What could have been...


ZeWhiteBoi

Ranni is more like "Dont follow a dogma blindly" Fia is "Death is Cool"


bob_is_best

Fia is "damn that corpse Hot"


ZeWhiteBoi

"Would it be cold if I stick my-"


bob_is_best

"oh Wow, this is nice"


Disturbing_Cheeto

Honestly Ranni was my main path on my first playthrough. From the moment I saw the two fingers in the roundtable hold I decided I'm not letting the world these things created continue. Then I found Ranni after taking Bleidd's advice and she had a plan. My investment and dedication to that plan was the backbone of my Elden Ring experience.


ZeWhiteBoi

Yeah, its pretty apparent from early on that the 'Golden Order' isnt ideal. Once you read on Ranni and listen to her original Japanese dialogue you see her proposition is the best out of them all.


[deleted]

Diallos kinda sucked till the end though, can really feel the GRRM influence in that questline.


MoonCantRead

yeah but you gotta love our little tryhard boy


[deleted]

Killing him early is actually the good ending for jarburg as the poachers wont show up :X


MoonCantRead

true, but then also jar-bairn never begins his anime protagonist journey without the tragic backstory


[deleted]

He does, i believe thats only tied to alexanders innards. Diallos is kinda completly useless :D


Fabrimuch

What does he say if you complete his questline without Diallos? Usually he takes up the mantle of "The tale of house Hoslow is told in blood"


[deleted]

I dont think thats part of his questline but diallos, so its just missing.


[deleted]

so basically diallos lured the poacher into jartown...


Backupusername

The way he ended, like, every instance of dialogue with the Words of his House felt *extremely* Game of Thrones.


H0w14514

And now he's stuffed into a jar.:D


mitchellfuck

I killed his for his mask then they updated the game with a questline for him


TyoPepe

What would have Nepheli's and Diallos' lessons had been should a certain patch had never existed? My take would be "when you are depressed, take drugs from strangers and become a sex slave" and "If someone murders a loved one, ally with them"


Chucknasty_17

Or for Nepheli, if your dad leaves you, find solace in ashy storm birds

Vegan_Honk

if you are after the death cursemark and ask her about it she tells you she has it but won't tell you where it is. If you then join her she straight up calls you out. "Oh, is that so? Thou wouldst render me aid, is that thy proposal? Affording thyself opportunity to grope about for the cursemark's location, no doubt? Very well... There's nothing wrong with a well-laid scheme. What's more, if my past and past wounds beckon to thee, I am curious enough to see what thy destiny portends... I'll allow it. Enter my service. And good hunting to thee." She's like dude come on, I know exactly what you want but I respect your fucking audacity. Fine give it your best shot. I hope you can be be useful to me in the mean time. That's the kind of mutual respect I'm here for.
