Boc actually has a pretty good ending. If you accept him the way he is, he would be grateful and would wish to remain around you after you become Elden Lord. Essentially, you make him your royal seamster. He can work on your threads for eternity 😁 As for Diallos, for some reason, in my playthrough, he never made it to Jarburg. So the town was never attacked, it still looked peaceful even after Jar Bairns left. Pretty good resolution in my opinion.

Patches quest received a small extra post v1.04 update. After Patches "dies" head back to where you first encountered him and the boss fight will start. Nearly identical to your first encounter Patches will confront you when you open the chest but then he'll recognize you and you will get a new gesture (the Patches' Crouch). You can kill him if you want now and loot his gear. Or if you choose to spare him, he becomes a merchant in the cave again. But really he has nothing new to sell, so you may as well kill him. Also unmentioned in the video, you can also deliberately provoke Patches to fight again by hitting him a couple of times, but this time let him lower your health to critical at which point he will tell you to beg for forgiveness. Use the Grovel for Mercy gesture which you learnt after fighting and beating Patches the first time and you will automatically learn a new gesture "Extreme Repentance". Use the new gesture to make Patches stop and he'll become a merchant again. You can continue his quest as normal.

It is also considered the only 'good' ending, since in classic Fromsoft form, we've learned that the Golden Order/Greater Will is pretty much messing up the entire world just to remain in power.

Iron Fist Alexander offers an absolute must-have reward which is Shard of Alexander among other items one of which is required for another chain quest. The Shard greatly increases all damage from your weapon skills. For reference - my mage's Moonveil Katana skill "Transient Moonlight"' got it's damage boosted from 1300 to 1500+. This was the difference in most PvP fights and in quite a large number of PvE ones where the weapon would directly one shot an opponent instead of leaving him at very low hp and giving him time to recover &/or retaliate.

I know a lot of people have mentioned that you can skip parts of those quests (and that’s what will normally happen anyways) and still complete them but I find it more satisfying to do every single step on a quest. Doing all the steps on quest can give you more context on what’s going on and why stuff happens. For example doing all of Blaidd’s questline will give you the context on why he’s hostile at the end and make the ending feel more sad and depressing as you learn everything that led to that inevitability.

Problem with Rannis quest is you can miss her so many times and accidentally lock her behind the festival and since I didn’t fight Radahn till after Morgott - I leaped frogged most of the quest in terms of the side characters development. By the time i found ranni - I fast traveled to get the finger slayer and returned in less than a minute since I cleared out the city by then. By the time I found her again - I was done clearing out everything and just saw her dead randomly then ascend to wherever. I went back to Rannis rise area - blaiid finally appeared who I hadn’t seen since post Radahn fight/ only to go crazy for reasons I have no idea and that other scorerer guy was dead in his tower and I just collected his things. The blacksmith is just still making tools on the side of the road. The end.

I encountered Alexander completely different.. He was stuck in some tunnels and I opened it then I saw him at the Radahn festival and then like 30 hours after I killed Radahn, I went back to the battlefield and Alexander was there putting bodies in himself and said he was going to the mountains to get stronger..

Elden ring quests: I’m a need a whole ass degree for this shit📜

I got the platinum. Alexander's quest was one of my favorites.

Alexander's talisman you get at the end is awesome. It is much better than the 1 you get for killing him early.

After you slay Blaidd, talk to the giant blacksmith on the road to Caria Manor. Earlier, when you’re exploring Nokron, the blacksmith tells you Blaidd was on another quest which is why he didn’t show up down there. But then after you slay Blaidd later, the blacksmith tells you that Blaidd had been actually been imprisoned for his own safety or for Ranni’s safety or something. Then he’ll say that he fears his time is near too. Reload the area and you’ll find the blacksmith dead on (black) fire, surrounded by dead black knife assassins, just like Blaidd was (except Blaidd had survived their assassination attempt on him by the time you find and battle him).

UPDATE: For Ranni’s quest, once you see her dead by the 2 fingers and give her the ring in the moonlight altar, you can head back to Ranni’s Chamber, rest at the grace and talk to the miniature Ranni one last time. You’re welcome.

@@splinteridiot I actually had no idea. I found out accidentally by just going back to previous graces and seeing if anything changed. Sort of also going down memory lane since I liked her quest. I rested at her grace and the option was there. Thank you for telling me that it actually changes how she speaks to you at the ending. I had no idea

I like how this video is exactly 18 minutes long. Not a second less or more. Definitely worth the time.

Another thing you can you in the Dung Eater questline is to give him Selvius potion. If you don't give the potion to either Nepheli nor Gideon and just keep it, you can give it to the Dung Eater and turn him into a summon.

A small point I know but Jar-Bairn is pronounced more like "bear-n" than "beer-n" as "bairn" is a Scottish/northern English term for a child. As a Geordie, the constant mispronunciation is quite, jarring. Thanks for the vid all the same, they really did a good job with all the UK accents and localisation.

I've also found the POT Dude in a random tunnel I got lost into just at the end of the tunnel there is room with 2 doors, behind one of them is a boss fight and the other is where the exit and he he is in. You can actually see him through the wall as the wall and door to the exit is made of wooden planks. Not sure if he will assist you with the boss as I was kind of under leveled for that dungeon and choose to just leave instead. It was funny because when you meet him again there he says something like " oh bro, are you lost too? lol"

I remember this! That’s when he was making his way through Caelid towards red mane.

16:13 I don't remember at what point but every single time i fast traveled to that area i was able to loot all plants. I was very careful not to break any fences or jars of any kind or to accidentally land on any jar when dropping down from anywhere.

Fun fact about the warrior jars... They actually eat corpses believing they will obtain the strength of those they eat the little one is happy because he can eat a piece of Alexander to gain his he also eats diallos so yeah there's that

I actually used that needle. I was going for Ranni's ending on my first go but was planning to do NG+ with a faith build and madness incantations. Well, you can get the perfect focus for that as part of someone else's quest but only once you accept the frenzied flame. So I do that, got my focus, used the needle and sailed off into the sunset with the moonwaifu.

Patches actually meets his own end if you go back to the shaded castle after beating rykar, asks you to give an item to the beautiful dancer Tanith, which adds lore to her character as a whole, she was a dancer.. however the item does nothing for she never really cared for patches or dancing after rykar. Patches passes on his own without his maiden.

He actually survives! After he gives you the item before the fight, he returns to Murkwater Cave, where he puts back up a fog wall, resets his chest, and waits for someone to rob him again. But this time, after jumping down to fight, he’ll say “oh wait! It’s you! It’s been ages!” And he’ll stop fighting on his own, and give you another emote.

I actually encountered Alexander in a mine in Caelid, he didn't help me or anything but he was just before the boss fight and it is a pretty large dungeon, there is even a grace before the boss fight and I found it hilarious he was just chilling there.

Milicent's quest's reward "Rotten Winged Sword Insignia" is actually completely busted for some builds like my Arcane/Bleed/25 Faith Double Godskin Peeler build. It stacks with the Flask of Wondrous Physick's effect which does the same thing and when you do a jump attack which hits 4 times instantly, you can literally one-shot any single player in the game regardless of their build. It's worth to note that this talisman stacks with Milicent's Prosthesis but it's not optimal to use both since there are better talismans to place in stead of her arm. Still it's a pretty nice lore items to compensate for it. Also they gave you the option to back out of the Lord of the Frenzied Flame ending by completing Milicent's quest because if you're not playing using guides and are instead exploring on your own, the game never explicitly tells you that this ending is the only one which locks you on one path unlike all other endings. And only when you actually lock yourself on that path you then get informed by Melina after defeating the Fire Giant that you still have time to return to your previous path. If you choose to ignore her however, you solidify yourself on becoming the Lord of Frenzied Flame and keeping those sick cosmetic burns across your entire body. It looks really well with the Hero's armor set for example which reveals a lot of your skin. Looks great on both female & male body types.

There are more spots you can find Alexander. His actions also provide inside into what is the purpose of the pots, and once you realize what that purpose is, you understand why you find pots in the locations you do. They have an important role in the lore of the game.

Feeding pots for the elden lord.

0:33 But you do get crazy good rewards for finishing his questline - The Shard of Alexander Talisman is essential for certain builds as it greatly boosts attack power of skills.

Funny thing about patches, you can summon him during the radahn festival and he will just immediately go back to his world

Gold mask and corhyns quest is amazing. Finding out the secret of the statue on my own was one of the best “oh shit” moments i’ve had in gaming, ever.

the rewards for Millicent’s quest are actually super good just depends on your build and also the shard of Alexander is so much better than the pot helmet

Wouldn't it be fun if Falcon made a video describing the route you should take through the game to get the most full and fleshed out experience, what things to grab and what his opinion of what the best way to play game would be? Wouldn't that be fun? c:

I like how you explain things in all quests, perfect for someone who have trouble completing it, excellent work my friend

It’s pretty awesome, I missed so many parts to a lot of these but was still able to complete most, I’m glad they let you

5:50 Blaidds name, the two d's are said like a "th" sound. It's Welsh, I think it means wolf

I think this is one of those games where I think it's good to use a walkthrough guide. There's so much that's easy to miss in Elden Ring.

Since the update Alexander’s quest carries on in jarburg, it’s actually such a good ending. Without spoiling too much his legacy begins.

The true purpose of the Millicent questline's final reward is, well helps you to get one of the hardest ending combination. The main objective of this "ending" is to burn the Erdtree without sacrificing Melina and avoid the frenzied flame ending.

Sellen’s quest gets to a point where it won’t progress until after you defeat Radahn. Defeat Radahn, Sellen’s projection will tell you about Witchbane ruins. Then talk to Jerron at Radahn’s castle and go back to her at Witchbane. You can also prevent Sellen’s transformation by NOT finding the sorcerer in the hidden cave.

I have a theory about Sellen's fate. So it's already noted/implied that using the Primal Glintstone that houses her soul, she's likely been hopping bodies for a very long time. However the one found under Selvius's tower is probably a doll body with a fail safe in mind that should the doll betray its master or not ever being activated by him it turns into a School of Graven Mages/Arcane Sphere of Faces so that it cannot live a normal life. Or the doll was constructed by using an Arcane Sphere as a base. It's noted somewhere in lore from an item that the Arcane Sphere of Faces is the primal form of glintstone so another possibility is that after years and years of her transferring her soul with that Primal Glintstone it finally backfired or was not compatible with a doll body and she turned into that. It's not clear but as with most all Souls games most NPCs never get a happy ending.

alexanders quest finale is tied to jar bairn's quest, so theres a bit more to it. and you get a great talisman from alexander at the end of his part aswell that i dont think was hyped up enough

"Ranni gives you a new possible ending.." translates to her giving you the true and best ending. Millicent also has one of the best quests honestly. She not only is tied to the best boss in the game but she gives you the item needed to reverse the most evil ending in the arena of another of the best bosses. And the rotten winged sword is so good if you use a fast combo heavy weapon.

Ive talked to patches in other spots outside as well. One I clearly remember: "When going to volcano manor when you climb up the first huge ladder hes right before that big jump from the rock edge to the other rock edge. Hes literally right behind you in a bush saying theirs something shiny close by" Have no idea Ill back track later on. I know horrible instructions but going by memory. Im sitting in church atm." Enjoy. btw: ty for posting good info. Kay

Alexandria has one of the best rewards in the game imo, I love having a talisman that makes my skills hit way harder

I never found Alexander stuck in a Bugs Bunny hole. First time i saw him was at the "Festival". Still got to the end of his quest and got a sweet piece of fleshy jar. And i think my first time meeting Blaidd was at Ranni's rise when she summoned Dah Bois.

You also forgot to mention the very last part of Millicent’s quest line, getting to the hidden boss arena of a powerful dragon in yet another end game area just to USE the needle in order to reverse the other ending

@Federico Apruzzese You assumed so many things that I'd say you sound like a child. Although, I doubt you actually are.

The only reason to complete the patches quest is to get the best heavy armor set in the game. Definitely worth mentioning, my main focus of my NG+ run was not killing patches so I could get the bull goat set. 100 poise means its heavy as hell but looks great and is the tankiest of tank builds.

Would like to add to patches' quest, if you do get abducted to Volcano Manor, you don't actually need to finish the whole two Iron Maiden things, you might need to do a bit of platforming though and cheese one iron maiden, you just need to get to the area where the somber smithing stone 7 is located, that is where you need to perform your jumps but an iron maiden is there so you might have to cheese it or if you are fast enough then just run around it and open the door behind it, just be prepared because there will be a lot of enemies in that room but you can basically get to the main Volcano Manor at the end of that route. This way seems easier than to trying to beat two iron maidens in the early to mid portion of the game
