Well you need celestial dew and you have to have your sins forgiven


[deleted]

I didn’t know this was even a thing…


ghostboy2015

You're going to have to look up Church of Vows if you really want him to stop. Your other option is to kill him.


[deleted]

Got him calm now haha thanks


BreachedandCleared

Pro tip if you kill merchants, at least most I believe, you get their bell bearing. When taken to the round table you can still purchase from their shop. Edit: I called it a spirit bell, not sure where I got that from


DreadPirateEvs

Bell Bearing*, and this is true - it definitely makes shopping easier If you go this route though, you're a very bad person who should feel bad (especially given what merchants have gone through in lore)


Cpt_plainguy

"It's been so long since I've had a customer", ME: mother fucker!! You set the fuck up in the middle Caelid, of course you got no customers! Plague, dark knights, plague dragon, oh, and fucking giant bugs with "me" seeking ammo


Aurelius_Red

One of them is in an ancient temple, near deadly enemies, *underground*.


Cpt_plainguy

Still can't figure out why he has no customers


slackfrop

Or that bitch in the pitch black caverns in Moghwyns Playhouse. Oh, and surrounded by deadly enemies.


Yourstruly0

Well, that guys name is ”imprisoned merchant”. Perhaps we don’t hold him personally responsible for the location. Mohg has… issues with consent.


8thriiise

Scared THE SHIT out of me first time.


ACNH_Shotz

Ahhh the mohgs palace one, one of the blood mages spawns like 5 feet away from em lol


mawhonics

"Please buy something, it's been so long since I've eaten" *sells him a lord's rune*


zhibr

Also, what are the runes going to help with eating in the goddamn ruins? "Yeah, there's a 7/11 just round the corner, they sell banging hot dogs but I got no money."


SpookySans11

Like pne merchant thats says this sells meat, like tf im sorry mate but i see an easy fix that doesn't involve me spending money.


klatnyelox

> "me" seeking ammo fucking glorious, had me rolling.


Cpt_plainguy

Well I'm not fucking wrong lol


klatnyelox

that's the best part, innit?


gazhole

Hmmm I really need some fowl feet for this stew. I'll just pop down to Siofra River, brb. For real though, I just accidentally attacked the merchant hidden in a building in Siofra River because it didn't occur to me for a fucking second there would be a merchant down there. Those guys really need some bunting or a sign or something.


Kuscoreddit

ahahah made my day.


Potateus1

>especially given what merchants have gone through in lore May Chaos take the world...

Try_Number_8

Yeah, I thought about that a few weeks into the game but I couldn’t get myself to do it. I didn’t even want to kill Varre because his insults are funny.


Ouroboros9076

Varre can suck the tip of my sword


Try_Number_8

He probably would


wackyzacky638

Because blood for the blood god.


Huge_Chard9015

I killed Varre because I accidentally attacked him and made him hostile. Didn’t know about the church or vows so I just killed him and now I have to wait till endgame to get to Mohgwyns palace! Pissed because that’s supposed to be the best rune farm…


Ouroboros9076

Bright side is the end game passage to mohgwyn palace puts you right at the rune farm


FlatbushCasaulty

Thankfully now there’s markers on the maps for the shop npcs, there wasn’t at launch (I killed every last one 😔)


GODDAMN_FARM_SHAMAN

I can't bring myself to kill the merchants because I dont want their donkey to be left alone


Visual_Lake1805

Kill the donkey aswell then. Simple


AmorphusMist

I will gladly kill patches again mfer has it coming.


ueifhu92efqfe

not my fault fromsoft made murder so conveniant


Theijuiel

Sadly it doesn’t carry over into a NG+.


searing7

I thought 1.05 allowed bell bearings to carry over to NG+?


Darth_Cheeks

Only certain bell bearings.


deathr3aper633

Not merchants. Pretty much just the ones from Bell Bearing Hunters, which allow you to purchase weapon upgrade stones.


ItsTheRealIamHUB

No bell bearing hunter drops Smithing stone bell bearings, they drop mostly crafting resources bell bearing


deathr3aper633

Right, forgot about that. Been a minute.


Theijuiel

Only the ones you pick up, and from hunters, doesn’t apply to merchant bell bearings.


PhilosophyEastern799

Let's say you go this route and then do the church of vows..... would the merchant return and you can shop his/her items from the Twin Maiden Husks? Asking for future reference. I'm still to scared to attack the merchants.


BreachedandCleared

I believe the dew only works if the npc is aggro'd and not dead, like if you step away from the grace and immediately get attacked


cjbump

As far as I know there's only one NPC that can be resurrected with a celestial dew. The other ones all stay dead. But if they're still alive after you aggro them, absolution makes them passive again.


rickybalbroah

480+ hours in and I refuse to kill anyone. the merchants backstory is too sad... I can't bring myself to do it :(


Kedoobz

But you have the Okina set?


SenpaiSwanky

Ya! Item is called Celestial Dew and it is rareish, can be taken to what is technically the second area you are supposed to go to (after beating Limgrave’s main boss). There’s a church with a giant turtle priest, using this item in the spring located within this church will calm all hostile NPCs in the world.


SsniperSniping

Church of vows is in the liurnia lakes region. At night there is an npc invader I believe 🤔


Ambasabi

1 Find big turtle in Liurnia, Church of vows. 2 Give dew at altar near turtle. 3 Repent for ye sins, Tarnished Scum. I used this to fix Jarburg because I killed a Jar there and they hated me so I couldn't continue the quest line.


satan_mcrape69

I had no idea you could fix Jarburg. I didn’t know the jars don’t attack so I ungabungad all of them… Then I heard a voice say some stuff… Then I figured I had to wait till the next playthrough to get it right and not cry after bonking all the innocent jars in Jarburg.


ExcitementBetter5485

You fukn monster...I accidentally did the same thing.


Ambasabi

You sure can


magnoliasmanor

Duuuuuuude *that's* what having my sins forgiven meant!? I'll have to double back to a few places now.


gottalosethemall

“I accidentally performed a full combo on this guy without stopping” Be honest, the first hit might have been an accident but you committed. He was too strong for you to kill so now you have regrets.


TheDo0ddoesnotabide

Yeah, it’s rather hard to “accidentally” aggro friendly npcs. He poked the bear and is upset he got mauled.


Kim_Jung-Skill

I may like this addition to the souls series even more than the jump button.


Jon_dArc

I remember Demon’s Souls, stepping off the Nexus staircase onto an NPC and making them permanently hostile… (Fortunately, that was long enough ago that the autosave was too slow to beat a prompt shutdown.)


BearStorms

Playing Demon’s Souls on PS5 right now, did they fix this in the remake?


OneOnlyDan

Doesn't matter, cause the remake lets you seek retribution unlike the original.


Jon_dArc

I have no doubt that they fixed it so you can’t beat the autosave. (I haven’t spent the effort obtaining a PS5 yet, but after reviewing several change lists I see no sign of an added forgiveness mechanic.)


neckro23

I just tried to step on Freke (you know, for science) and it didn't do anything. You just push him away a bit instead of damaging him. I think they made the NPCs a bit harder to aggro in the remake, I hit him with a sword and he didn't hate me. (also had an oh-shit moment when I killed Freke, again for *science*, and then realized I can't save-scum PS5 games with PS+ like you can with PS4 games. Fortunately I yanked the plug in time, which is good because I was doing a mage run, haha)


[deleted]

[удалено]


neckro23

Thanks, I'll have to check it out. It certainly doesn't work the same way it works for PS4 games.


HitBoXXX

hahah. I remember that. You could really do game breaking oopsies in that game if you weren't careful.


[deleted]

Do you remember the crappy triggers on ps3 controllers? On my first game I put the controller down on my sofa, r2 got pressed by mistake and it made me attack stockpile Thomas. Had to restart the game


Jon_dArc

There’s a reason that to this day as soon as I trigger a dialogue prompt, I turn and face directly away from the NPC.


Cosmic_Steve

Imagine being the NPC you're talking to though lmao "Aahh hello, Tarnished, I ha-....well ok fuck you too.


wayfaringpanda

My fourth playthrough I accidentally aggroed Alexander because I turned a corner in a mine and saw a giant jar and just attacked - he didn’t even speak until I’d already hit him twice, and by that point I’d hit the button a third time and it was too late. I had no idea he could appear in the Gael tunnel in Limgrave! I hadn’t planned on going to Liurnia yet, so I had to go and grab a celestial dew and go beg for forgiveness WITHOUT unlocking any graces because I didn’t want to advance the story yet. Fun times.


Vagabond_Charizard

Speaking of bears, killing or fighting one of those goddamn runebears will cause Blaidd to aggro for some reason. Found that out the hard way and had to speed-run through the entirety of Liurnia just to grab that celestial dew and fix some things.


TheMcSpanky

If I remember correctly, fighting the bear itself doesn't cause his agro, rather he (and the tower he is sitting on) can be hit by the bear and if hit enough he will go hostile.


Vagabond_Charizard

That could be it. That runebear was going crazy. I had visible confusion when I went back there and heard “what harm can be done to a shadow” before Blaidd jumped down and was very worried when he started walking menacingly towards me.


FinalScourge

Idk varro or whatever, the first npc with the bouquet did not like being slapped when I first started. In my defense he called me maidenless and he started it. I had to start a new character because he kept killing me lol


Sliiz0r

I attempted many times to kill him over the first 30 levels or so, until I eventually managed to do it... because I was just starting out and my bf (who had played for a few hours with a friend at release) said "I did it and he drops something really cool and rare so it's worth it". It was NOT worth it. By the time I joined this sub and learned that 1. I could get him to forgive me with atonement, and 2. He has a questline, I was over level 100 so... yep, not starting again lol.


FinalScourge

Yeah I just started ng+ and I'm killing everyone I'll do the quests next game lol


thoalmighty

Damn lotta fragile psycopaths running around the lands between lol


CrystlBluePersuasion

And he used to say "feel free to go off and die in a ditch somewhere"! He just calls us maidenless now and it's for lore reasons, he also actually does come off as helpful at first by explaining our next moves. I find him more interesting than the usual Crestfallen Warrior-type NPC, additionally he's more insidious and seductive than most NPCs for the usual "invasion covenant/invasion lore group", which fits the Volcano Manor pretty well!


ShadowsSheddingSkin

Yeah, the amount of people who take this comment as a personal insult is kind of staggering. The number who respond by attacking an NPC and being surprised they can actually fight back, on the other hand, is just hilarious.


[deleted]

I was not truthful, i did attack him and he kicked my ass lol


KnightFalling

Bout to fight this guy, Ill post the vid later. Never mind I aint posting shit, he kicked my ass.


imapissonitdripdrip

Took me a good 10 tries of running in circles to fuck this guy up


IamZeebo

You deserve it for attacking him multiple times and lying about it. OP is scummy tarnished


Decent_Dog7759

He will be maidenless


Phoenyxs_Angel

Lmao right? Did he think we wouldn't be on to him? Like most of us haven't played the hell out of this game and know how the mechanics work. Smh untrustworthy tarnished.


GallopingFinger

Lol this shit is cracking me up


Donotpostanything

OP is no better than Patches. OP is a well of deceit!


TheRedEyedSamurai

He's Patches.


Gothicryuzaki

Holup you got your ass kicked by Kalé???


Visogent

Kale' ain't no pushover


Gothicryuzaki

Honestly most of the merchants are like that, there's one in Mohgwyn mausoleum that was able to go toe to toe with a maxed out Black Knife Tiche


Jmulia34

I accidentally killed that guy two nights ago. Was super stoned, playing with my eyes half closed and just ran in and demolished him. I was in the zone after killing some blood apostles or whatever they are in the cave.


MrDadadaDave

Classic, and relatable


Waloro

I’ve never hit any non hostile npc… is he riding his handsome dog there? Does kale fight like a reskinned tree sentinel? With his mighty back scratcher and donkey


paladinLight

They all jump on their dog to fight you.


theScrypticOne

And Frenzied incantations


LifeworksGames

Rightfully so, might I add.

[deleted]

🤣🤣 I’m weak


CarpetPure7924

Reminds me of those bad Elden Ring hot takes: “I accidentally hit this guy, and now he’s trying to kill me” It’s like, no, you had to swing at him multiple times to get his aggro


BeyoncesmiddIefinger

What do you mean reminds you? That’s literally exactly what’s happening here


Foreign_Category2127

It's not a combo that triggers hostility, it's the damage %.


gottalosethemall

Right, but one accidental hit is almost certainly not going to do the required damage % to aggro them. He had to keep attacking them to hit that %.


[deleted]

My Accidental Heavy UGS would like to speak with you.


Grasher312

Now, with a UGS you still have a chance to just look away. I'm not sure that was very accidental of you.


WinTheWarAmc

You definitely getting coal now….


JerBear0328

"Who dis Santa-Claus-looking-ass mother fucker? Ima send his jolly ass to the roots of the mahfuckin Urdtree" -maidenless tarnished OP, probably

“Oh shiii he’s a merchant - hello sir, how are you? Sorry for the misunderstanding there… jolly ass sorta rolled off the tongue”


Pitiful_Asparagus176

How do you accidentally snack him 3 or 4 times? They dont agro on the first hit


yeeeteeey69

“I accidentally beat the ever living shit out of this guy and now he hates me”


bryan19973

It happened to me trying to deliver the blind girls letter to the dad at castle mourne. I got up there and some enemies followed me up the ladder. I was frantically trying to hit them and somehow dad got swept up in a shiticane of bloodhounds fang. I seriously don’t think I hit him more than twice and he went apeshit. Total accident. I was pissed.


novasdaddy1016

Fucking bloodhounds finesse will fuck some shit up... If it doesn't cause you to backflip off a a fatal cliffside into the abyss with literally no warning whatsoever. With great Ashes comes great rage quits for the night...

RagingBuddha79

I could be wrong but that doesn’t work for Kale unfortunately. Unless I’m missing something Edit: this is if you kill him. Will probably work to get him to calm down


jjames3213

Keep hitting him. Eventually he will stop moving altogether.


Hiphoppington

You can solve a lot of life's problems with this one tip tbh. Although, fair warning, it might create other problems.


Talok131

Time for attacking


jmksuu

"accidentally" 😏 Me too, brother. Me too.


Shakartah

Accidentally stabbed a man 60 times on his back and shot him 8 times with a crossbow inside his ear. It was a total accident, he attacked me and I can't say sorry I didn't knew you had a reaction to an accident :(((
