The Best NPCs from Every Soulsborne Game 

Patches, Patches, cat, Patches, Patches (Lapp), Sculptor, Patches, Rusty

It's Gavlan; obviously. With Gavlan, you wheel, you deal.

cool thing about Sieglinde is that she's the only human in the game, as in she doesn't have the undead curse at all. if she dies, she dies for good. and she still travels to the most dangerous place in the world to look for her dad.

Straid is peak character. His unfiltered rudeness is so charming. Cursed one, you lack intelligence. Weak, so terribly weak… Heh heh heh… Cursed one, take these. Put them on, and please, stop being so weak. Heh heh… Feeble cursed one! Do you really think you can manage the glories that are my spells?

Lucatiel is my number one, Ranni #2, Solaire #3, Siegward #4, Greirat #5. My honorable mention would be Laddersmith Gilligan. He's Scottish and loves ladders, in other words, badass.

After some thinking, Frampt has got to be my favorite from DS1. Utterly unique design, his reveal is such a shock. Unforgettable voice, and the way he just loses his shit when you have the lord vessel cracks me up every time. Me: has lordvessel Frampt: AAAAAAHHHHHH (ahem) “nice”

A Scotsman only gets a good sword once every blue moon.

Man this video was amazing. I don't know why but your videos are so dear to me man. I have ADHD and often have trouble with watching longer pieces of content like this, but for some reason every time a new video from you comes out I just click on it and get zapped to the end with an hour of my time gone and a smile on my face. I really hope you know how much fun you bring to thousands of people, whether they are staring at your videos intensely on the TV at 3:00 AM, or listening to your voice while eating lunch. They're just fun as hell. Enjoy your weekend :)

Patches has been my favorite character since he called me "my love" in DS1

I genuinely really like Patches, there's just something comforting about his presence. He's the one constant in my life, he's my buddy!! (some of my other favorites are Arianna, Eileen, and Fia,, Elden Ring has a bunch of really good ones in general tho)

I think what's most interesting in DS3 Patches is how fondly he talks about Greirat. Probably the only time he shows true attachment. Siegward's speech in the Yhorm fight is fucking fantastic too 👌

hey man, i know you're probably not gonna see this, but it's been an incredibly shitty time for me for a long time now, no boring sad details that brings everyone down or anything, just want to thank you for making these and sharing your passion, i feel like listening to a friend who appreciates these gems as much as me, i wish you the best and hope you don't stop man, sincerely, thank you.

The best thing about Patches un the Ring City, is that he isn't kicking you to cause you harm, but he's moving you in the right direcction to exit that zone; Not only that but he also helps you against Halflight as a summon.

People forgot about Black Hat badger , a true chad in Sekiro

No love for Alexander makes me a sad Beardy 😢

you are sooo outspoken about your love of this series and it fills me with so much nostalgia... the way that you focus on the flying.. flying buttresses. parfait

Demon's Souls - The Maiden in Black Dark Souls I - Solaire Dark Souls II - Lucatiel/Emerald Herald/Vengarl Dark Souls III - Fire Keeper/Karla/Hawkwood/Patches/Sirris (lots of too good options here). Bloodborne - The Doll/Eileen Sekiro - Isshin Elden Ring - Fia

Once you find Siegmeyer slain in Ash Lake, there is only one proper response: Avenge your onion bro. Do not hesitate, show no mercy.

Nice video :D. Bloodborne and Sekiro are my favorites and it's always nice hearing about Isshin himself. I gravitate towards skilled warriors and sekiro has a large batch of characters that fit that description.

Great vid, love to see an actual opinion rather than the easy picks. I share love for many of your choices. [Nice soundtrack choices as well] 😊

Personally for Dark Souls I gotta go with my love, Laurentius of the Great Swamp. He charmed me into becoming a pyromancer and his passion and joy is contagious. I love him so much.

DS - Thomas DS1 - Solaire DS2 - Gavlan Bloodbourne - Gehrman DS3 - Siegward Elden Ring - Ranni

Top 3 irish accented souls npcs: - Emerald Herald - Father Gascoigne - Laddersmith Gilligan I noticed a male voice in the SoTErdtree trailer too. All from the south though i don't recall anyone from the north

The moonlight butterfly music over the dark souls 1 section is so good 👌 it makes me nostalgic. God I love that game.

candle i think im falling in love with your velvety soft accent and your beautiful content

love you man, keep up the good work

If you dont attack Alfred, he kills himself where you first meet him, right before Old Yarnham. That makes it even more interesting I think!

Onion bro will always be my favourite. Just a kind-hearted soul in a decaying world, unbothered by the apocalypse. We need more Siegwards in our real lives.

The sculptor always brings out the feels.

There's always time for candle time

DS1. - Frampt DS2. - vengral DS3. - Patches BB. - that one guy Sekiro. - Ishin Elden Ring. - Fia

I thought the Dung Eater's armor was supposed to look like corn chunks, seeing as he's so associated with, well, dung. Cut up human bones makes sense too lol.

DS1: Siegmeyer DS2: Shanalotte and Lucatiel DS3: Patches/Lapp and Sirris Bloodborne: Eileen Sekiro: Emma and Sculptor Elden Ring: Melina, Millicent, Alexander, Blaidd and Ranni (There are so many NPCs)

Demon's Souls: The Maiden in Black. Dark Souls: Solaire. Dark Souls 2: Vengarl. Dark Souls 3: Siegward. Bloodborne (also my favorite for NPCs): Djura. Elden Ring: Rogier. Armored Core 6: Rusty. Haven't played Sekiro enough to have an opinion yet.

DeS: Biorr DS: Siegmeyer, Laurentius DS2: Lucatiel BB: Eileen, Gehrman DS3: Greirat Sekiro: Isshin ER: Blaidd, Hewg, Millicent

my bro didn't even mention big chest ahead

I love Isshin as well simply for sharing VAs with Evolto from Kamen Rider Build, Tetsuo Kanao. He was already my favorite Soulsborne boss before realizing that, so that only solidified my love for his character.

i caught the ffx music in the back noice underrated track

Aaaah THAT’S how I messed up then siegward quest. I went to Rosaria before encountering patches in the cathedral. I was so pissed when he wasn’t there. I was convinced I did everything right.

My favourite for each is: DeS: Yuria DS1: Gwyndolin DS2: Aldia DS3: Sirris Sekiro: Owl Elden Ring: Roderika

good vid :)

Still don’t know what’s on the other side of the great hollow.. every time I try to get through it and past all the branches and basolisks, I give up and go hollow.

DS1: Laurentius, Quelana DS2: The cat I guess. DS3: Ludleth, The Fire Keeper Elden Ring: Millicent, Hewg

I have no idea why, since I haven't watched it in decades, but something in this vid made me want to check if anyone had ever had Dark Souls as their specialist subject on BBC's Mastermind!

Not sure if it's a good idea at all but you could do a "Worst NPCs" list as well. That might be kind of interesting

Can’t believe they put candle type 1A in in Demon Souls

Make a ranking of things shown in the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer

Thought you could outwit an 😂😂 simple but funny and painful 😂

I use to really hate patches but I’ve grown quite fond of him throughout the series now.

DeS: Yuria DS1: Havel probably DS2: Lucatiel, though Aldia's close behind BB: Eileen DS3: honestly a toss-up between Gael, Friede, and Greirat SK: Emma or the Sculptor ER: Melina, but there's SO many viable choices

Here are my favorite NPCs Demon Souls: Stockpile Thomas, Biorr of the Twin Fangs & Ostrava of Boletaria Dark Souls: Andre of Astora, Knight Solaire, Rhea of Thorolund & Sigemeyer/Sieglinde Dark Souls 2: Behart of Jugo, Emerald Herald & Sweet Shaloquir Dark Souls 3: Firekeeper Maiden, Patches, Greirat & Siegeward Sekiro: Armored Warrior, Hanbei the Undying & Kotaro Elden Ring: Blackguard Big Boggart, Patches, Roderika, Rya, Malenia/Millicent, & Blaidd

By the way mate, as someone who loves these long-form rankings and retrospectives, if you're looking for any ideas, ranking the weapons game-by-game would be interesting!

Well now that the Elden ring dlc is here... Igon.

1 laurentius, such a wholesome guy, even entrusts you with a part of himself 2 i wish you could pull a mimir with vengarl, but im going to go with my waifu shanalotte 3 the biggest heros in the game are undoubtably ludleth, who knows exactly whats waiting for him but suffers it anyway for the good of all, and gael, who dedicates his life and soul to finding one last sanctuary for humanity, after fighting his way from the very first days of the age of fire. bloodborne the guy in the oedon chapel who welcomes and wishes to protect all. despite his monstrous appearance hes the most human character in the game and the only one who doesnt seem to lose his mind. elden ring i want to pet the dog

The reason the queen doesnt acknowledge the fact she was murdered is because you dont resurrect her, you just restore her state to a time when she was whole. the altar of despair doesnt revive,it only turns back time.

"The flying, flying buttresses" *my god* indeed 🎉

Eileen, Sirris, Lapp, Sculptor, Solaire, Ranni, Lucatiel

Solaire, patches, blaaid, boc, and the knight from the beginning of ds1 my fav

If Solaire doesn’t win I stg

I hope the Great Alexander the jar will be first, saving this video for my new elden ring dlc character

Hooray new sleep vid

DeS: Stockpile Thomas DS: Solaire DS2: Lecatiel DS3: ??? BB: Eileen S: Emma? ER: Ranni

Yo, could someone tell me what that sword is that the player is using at 2:30 please 🥺

Man in elden ring I did all quests fulirst time other than millicent, Goldmask, and flame of frenzy and I knew how to do flame of frenzy.

Valtr the goat 🐐

"Who among you-" Pack it up, boys

I like how completing Dung Eater's questline doesn't give any good loot. Did you think anything good would come of going down that path?

Ladder salesman. Most useful npc ever.

32:04 lmfao how could you!!!

My list is quite different (I mostly care about the story progression of the character and his/her relationship with the world), but it's nice to see other people opinions, and I can see why you chose these NPC (except Benhart, he's in my mind just a stong stupid guy). But hey, just my dumb opinion

The emerald herald from ds2 is also Irish

Eleonora actually looks alot like Mesmer

From really has a way of creating expressive and compelling characters for all the shit I give them for obscure quests. I‘d love it if they created a less post-apocalyptic world with more engaged character interactions for once but that will probably never happen… Well, kind of happened in Sekiro but it’s not really a RPG but an action game with occasional choices and a world inhabited almost entirely by enemies.

Patches and Sunbro.

DS1 and DS2 have the best NPCS

Hell yeah

♫ 59:20 FFX - Wandering Flame ♫ , FFX best soundtrack =D FFVIII ost close runner-up.

Worst NPCs: Demon Souls - Patches Dark Souls - Patches Dark Souls 2 - No Patches Dark Souls 3 - Patches Bloodborne - Patches the Spider Sekiro - No Patches Elden Ring - Patches

Ah shit, here we go again.

I can’t stand quests in the souls games. I’m not one to look everything up like most players so I mainly play these games completely blind. I’ve never been able to progress both siegward or Solaire’s questline because I’ve never been able to find their locations. Also the way that quests are structured, they’re extremely easy to mess up by progressing too far into the game before doing a certain step in the questline. How is a blind player supposed to figure this shit out?

Letsss goooooo🎉🎉🎉💪💪💪💪

Eleanora was a drake knight that participated in dragon communion to gain strength. Unfortunately, this doomed her to eventually becoming a magma wyrm. However, by choosing to follow mohg and become a blood demon, she gained the power of blood, as shown in her poleblade, and evaded the curse of dragon communion, as shown by her eyes being bloody finger red instead of dragon communion yellow and slitted. We know bloody finger power overrides dragon communion power from our own player character. Whichever power we receive first, communion or blood, you will always end up with the blood eyes. Makes yura sad to see her become so depraved, but to her, she had a win-win

What is your takes? Patches, Dung Eater.....

Cool 😎😎😎

0:01 who what?????

It’s really weird, most everyone says that DS3 is the best out of the series. Maybe for the combat and bosses but everything else fucking sucked ass. The quests are all boring af and there aren’t any interesting NPC’s throughout the whole game.

I thought Alfred wasn't changed in any way during the quest. He's a religious fanatic. Kind to some or even many but vile and brutal to the object of his hate.

Hehehe.. Buttresses..

Is it a female? Does she show feet? If you answered yes to both, you found the answer to the title of this video :P

Please start considering your use of 'of course' as a filler word. I remember listening to 40+ hours of a The Wire related podcast, where the hosts had this as part of their dialect, and it was incredibly off putting. It can come across as pretentious. I've still been enjoying your content. Thank you for all the great videos.

That ending with the Sculpture man… 🥲 don’t do that to me
