Patches

Description


"Trusty" Patches makes a return to the Dark Souls universe in style, making for a nice reminiscence for all Demon's Souls players. He's a thief, preying on unsuspecting victims by kicking them down into a pit. He (still) hates clerics.

Location


The Catacombs
He stands next to the lever of the second spiked bridge. He only appears in the Catacombs only if Rhea of Thorolund and her company has not gone there and before you kill Pinwheel. After either of those occur, he moves to the Tomb. He may try to flip the bridge the first time you walk across it. If you said "Yes" that you are a cleric, the next time you talk to him, he becomes hostile. If you said "No" that you are not a cleric, the next time you talk to him, he asks if his trickery caused you any trouble. If you answer "Yes", he gives you a Humanity. Any other response nets you nothing.

Tomb of the Giants
If you have not talked to him in the Catacombs, he will ask if you are a Cleric. He points to treasure visible from his position, and if you walk towards the ledge to take a closer look, he will kick you down into the pit. If you said "Yes" that you are a cleric, the next time you talk to him, he becomes hostile. If you said "No" that you are not a cleric, the next time you talk to him, he asks for your forgiveness. If you answer "No", he gives you a Twin Humanities. If you do choose to forgive him by saying "Yes", he will deploy prism stones further along the passage that highlights the route to a hidden bonfire.

Firelink Shrine
If he is not hostile and he is still alive, he squats down by a wall closest to the Catacombs after you have killed Gravelord Nito

Use


  • If you exhaust his dialogue in Tomb of the Giants and he is still alive, he returns to the Firelink Shrine as a vendor after the death of Nito. As a vendor, he sells some items and teaches "Prostration" Gesture.

  • first meeting in the Catacombs
    • Good day! You look reasonably sane!
      What are you doing in the Catacombs?
      Are you a Cleric or something?
      • answer No
        No? Well, that's strange.
        Ohhh, I know what it is. You've come for the trinkets, haven't you?
        Well whatever it is…
        This place is treacherous. Do watch your step.
        Heh heh heh…
      • answer Yes
        Yes, I imagined as much.
        Best of luck with your pilgrimages or missions or whatever you do.
        This place is treacherous. Do watch your step, eh?
        Heh heh heh…
  • activating the bridge trap after meeting him
    • Ah, oh! Well, how are you, then?
      …I slipped and flipped that lever, you see…
      …It didn't cause you any trouble, by chance?
      • answer No
        Oh, really? Yes, I see…Righty-oh!
        Then everything's good, isn't it?
        I'm Trusty Patches, the one and only!
        You and I, just a couple of undead outcasts, right mate? / You and I, just a couple of undead outcasts, right, my darling?
        Heh heh heh…
      • answer Yes
        Are you certain?!
        Well that's a fine shame. Oh, I'm truly sorry, really!
        But, wait now, you didn't actually fall down, then?
        Well, why didn't you tell me sooner! All's well that ends well!
        Everybody makes mistakes. I'm not above it all, I swear!
        I'm trusty Patches, the one-and-only!
        I know! This should make up for it. (gives Humanity x1)
        We're on the same side! Undead outcasts!
        Fantastic isn't it?
        Heh heh heh…
  • activating the bridge trap before meeting him
    • Ah, oh! Well, well, how are you, then?
      I, uh, sort of lost my way, yes…
      But when I came here, I didn't touch any levers, no, not me!
      Very peculiar, isn't it? Wait, did something happen to you?
      Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm Trusty Patches, the one-and-only!
      Here, everything's good with us, eh? Aww, c'mon, take it! (gives Soul of a Lost Undead x1)
      Heh heh. We'll be wonderful friends.
      Heh heh heh…
    • Oh, does it really matter that much?
      C'mon now. What exactly do you think I did?
      You're not making sense, my friend.
      Heh heh heh…
  • next meeting in the Tomb of the Giants after meeting in the Catacombs
    • What you again? Well, well!
      You've been a stranger. Ah, good to see you're well, mate.
      Oh right, you came at the perfect time.
      There's a fine stash of treasure right down that hole.
      I found it first, but…well, we're friends now. I'll split it with you!
      In any case, have a look, it'll shimmer you blind!
      Heh heh heh…
  • if you talk again, before he kicks you off the ledge
    • There, that hole. Take a closer look.
  • after he kicks you off the ledge
    • Heh heh, this is what I do, my friend.
      The trinkets I'll be stripping off your corpse; that's the real treasure!
      Nyah hah hah hah!
  • next time you meet
    • …Oh, you, I…
      Let's just calm down. Talk about things…
      I did you wrong. But, I didn't mean it.
      These temptations, they can, well, overcome me…
      You know what I mean? Don't you? Please forgive me.
      You and me, we're jolly Undead outcasts, aren't we?
        • answer No
          Oh for heaven's sake, let's not mope about, eh?
          You're still alive, I've said I'm sorry!
          Wait, I know! Here, take this. It proves something, doesn't it?
          Gives Twin Humanities
          Heh heh heh…
        • answer Yes
          Oh, brilliant. A second chance! Wonderful!
          I had a feeling you'd understand. I did.
          But if I were in your shoes…Ooh! Who knows what I'd have done?
          But now we're friends again, eh?
          Heh heh heh…
        • next time you talk
          I did you wrong. But I didn't mean it.
