Undead Merchant Male

Location

Undead Burg
From the Bonfire, exit out of the bonfire room and kill the Undead Soldier with the crossbow and the three Armored Hollows on the area below to the right. Kill the two Undead Soldiers with spears on the opposite roof top area. Smash the crates (in the spear soldier area) around the stairs going down. Once in the room downstairs deal with an Armored Hollow hidden behind some crates, as he will surprise you later while talking to the merchant otherwise. The merchant is out of the door opposite to the bottom of the stairs on a ledge.

Description

This Undead (called "Itinerant Merchant" in the credits) sells the items he looted from the corpses of adventurers. He has a hollowed appearance, but is not fully hollow. He has a "companion" named Yulia.1

Notes

  • It's best to avoid killing him if you require a constant source of Repair Powder in the early stages of the game. He's also the only merchant that sells Lloyd's Talisman without the Additional Content (if you have the Additional Content, Marvellous Chester also sells it, albeit more expensive).
  • A canny invader can trick a beginner player into swinging at and hitting the merchant out of desperation. In which case the merchant quickly becomes aggressive and attacks with his uchigatana.
  • Be wary that, if you made him hostile, you must progress past the Gargoyles to request absolution.
  • This NPC has unused dialogue lines.

  • First time speaking to him
    Well, now…
    You seem to have your wits about you, hmm?
    Then you are a welcome customer!
    I trade for souls. Everything's for sale!
    Nee hee hee hee hee!
  • Greeting
    Oh, you again?
    I hope you brought plenty of souls?
    Nee hee hee hee hee!
  • Using "Talk" option
    1. It's actually quite nice here, you know?
      The hollows don't care for a skinny old twig like me.
      I've got Yulia… And nobody pelts me with stones anymore.
      You're Undead, you know how it is.
      I was treated worse back at home.
    2. Eh? My wares?
      Of course they're stolen; what did you think?
      And when you lose your head,
      I'll sell it all again!
      Nee hee hee hee hee!
    3. Things are getting treacherous in these parts.
      A horrible goat demon has moved in below.
      And up above, there's that humungous drake, and a bull demon, too.
      If you stick around this place, it might end up being your grave!
      Nee hee hee hee hee!
    4. Ah, this one? Ain't she lovely?
      Her name is Yulia. She's plumb in love with me.
      You'd never leave my side, now would you, Yulia?
    5. Ah, you can forget it.
      I'm all that she needs.
      Careful, she'll bite your little fingers off!
      Be kind, Yulia, be kind!
      Nee hee hee hee hee!
    6. Eh? I'm not here to chit-chat.
      We talk business, or we talk nothing at all.
    7. Now, don't squander your time chatting!
      You need to look over my wares!
  • Greeting (after being away for some time)
    Oh, there you are.
    Where have you been hiding?
    I guessed you'd hoped the twig for certain.
    Bah, shows what I know!
    Nee hee hee hee hee!
  • Leave (after buying)
    • Thank you kindly.
      Nee hee hee hee hee!
    • Ah, thank you, very much.
      Come back soon!
      Nee hee hee hee hee!
  • Leave (without buying anything)
    • Hmph.
      What a waste of time.
      Go and fall off a cliff.
    • Tsk!
      Throw me a bone, will you?
      You haven't got much time anyway.
      Right, Yulia?
    • Hmph!
      Cheap bastard.
      Right, Yulia?
  • Abruptly leave then speak to him again
    1. Hey, what! What's the matter?
    2. What was that about?
      Oh. Nevermind.
  • Attacked without made hostile
    1. Eeg!
    2. Yeowch!
    3. Oi, what's this about?
    4. It's me! Stop it, I tell you!
  • Attacked and made hostile
    You've gone mad, have you!?
    I'll teach you! You lousy rat!
    Yulia! Yulia!
  • After killed
    Why, me…
    Little Yulia…

Footnotes 1. It's never clear what Yulia is. His dialogues may indicate that Yulia is the uchigatana, but it's also possible that Yulia is the bucket, or an imaginary pet in the bucket. It could also be referring to the Undead Merchant Female, as her entrapment behind bars could indicate some forced separation of the two. 2. Additional Content only. 3. Additional Content only.
