Elden Ring Patches NPC Location & Items List

You know what they say about a FromSoftware game. It’s only good if it has three things in it; Moonlight Greatsword, tough fights with bosses, and the most lovable NPC ‘Patches’. Ever since Elden Ring’s release on February 21, 2022, players have tried to find Patches’ location. Some succeeded, others failed, but there is still much more yet to be found out about the most annoying yet infamous NPC called Patches.

Who Are Patches 

Patches is a boss, NPC, and a merchant that you will find in Elden Ring. He is the most recurring character in Fromsoftware games and he is notorious for playing the part of a betrayer or a liar. You can find him in the Murkwater Cave and he is an optional boss so you do not need to defeat him in order to progress in Elden Ring.

When you battle him and he reaches low health, he will offer to surrender. If you accept his surrender, he will then open up a small shop in Murkwater Cave. You can also have him as an NPC summon battle Starscourge Radahn. Since he is weak to lightning you can use Lightning Attacks to deal critical damage to him.

Patches always try to get the better of us despite knowing he can’t beat us and that’s why he’s one of the most fascinating characters across the franchise. Now, Patches’ character is at a stage where the thought of having a game without him in it sounds incomplete. Lastly, here are the locations that I would recommend:

1. Murkwater Cave in Limgrave: Your first encounter with Patches happens here. Before entering, you might face an invasion by Bloody Finger Nerijus. Inside, after dealing with weaker enemies and reaching a certain chest, Patches appears. If you reduce his health to 50% without killing him, he surrenders, offering a chance to dialogue instead of continuing the fight.

   

2. Mistwood Outskirts: After the encounter, Patches can either be killed or forgiven. Forgiving him turns him into a merchant at Patches’ Emporium, where he later tricks you into a transporter trap leading to an encounter with three giant bears at Mistwood Outskirts.

   

3. Scenic Isle: Patches can be found sitting by a bonfire on Scenic Isle, south of Liurnia of the Lakes.

   

   He offers advice and a shortcut to Volcano Manor via a peculiar method involving getting caught by an Iron Virgin at the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
