I killed Patches on both characters... is his quest line good? Should I restart the level 20?

Gates a few emotes and a weapon drop I think. If you want everything definitely look it up, some of the steps you will never do naturally in a million years.

I don't want either of Godrick's weapons, should I just eat his soul for the runes?

Patches's quest is one of the worst sins of quest construction in this game. I'm not sure if at any point a clue is given to find him among the statues outside of Elmer's arena but the sequencing on that is convoluted and even if you happen to go there with the right timing against his quest, there's no guarantee you'll even notice him, and it's not a place you'll visit multiple times.

I missed him on one character, went back cause I reached Second Marika Church and Yura wasn't there. I was looking at a guide and realized I had to backtrack. Did the first part of his quest and entered the cave. Level 90 Greatsword build... he died in two hits and the dialogue never popped. But he dropped a bearing, a spear +7, and a leather armor set. I'm like sweet I love the spear on my other character let me switch over and grab that. This character he does do the dialogue, I pick up the emote, then the second, and I still want the weapons and armors so I kill him. Then I read he has a whole quest line and I'm like ah, gently caress. Even worse my dex is too low for the spear and leather armor sucks!

Either way it's not vile. He's happy to kill you, after ambushing you, and will unless you chunk him. Not a nice guy or anything. Also in the quest he gives you bad advice and sends you to Volcano Manor. Just didn't seem worth it, not many runes and poo poo equipment. Rather have the big candlestick.

Souls fans gaslighting themselves into thinking Patches is their friend he's just a real wild guy who goes a little too far sometime. I think Perry understands the series the most of us all.

I pledged myself to some haughty blond who never made good on my knighthood and a blue-skinned witch who gave me a bell. Helping out Seluvis who everyone hates but I don't know why. Nearly gave man with crown in roundtable the potion Seluvis gave me but I thought I should go further down Seluvis quest instead. Plus, I don't know that guy either. Seems like everyone is a huge weirdo and they all hate each other. Fine by me that means no decision I make can be incorrect

It's fine to kill Patches because he'll just be back in the next game anyway, the old scamp.

I hope someday either cut content or Fromsoft themselves (lol) reveal what Patches’ and Tanith’s quest was supposed to be before it got cut or the endgame changed in a way that made it no longer viable. It’s so painfully obvious that there was supposed to be more there.

I'm looking at it in my inventory. Bit of salt, bit of lemon, fry it up with some noodles it'll be quite nice.

Also I just found Rogier after summoning 2 humans to kill Godrick, and he's like "Oh, that must have been nice, good for you, anyway have my sword, can't really use it any more, legs are all messed up. Ignore the ominous thorns sticking out of the blanket. Anyway, glad you had fun without me." :unsmith:

Patches is a bit like herpes.

Anytime you think you've got rid of him he just pops again in the next game.

Also like Herpes he's got a strong thematic connection to holes.

I am super sad I blitzed Volcano Manor (I just kept going further and further until whoops the Noble is dead and oh whoops there goes Rykard.) and didn’t do any of the contracts and thus couldn’t finish Dialos nor Rya and that also means I didn’t get to do the full Jar Bairn quest. I mean I gave him Alexander’s innards but still.

I was able to still kill Old Knight Istvan after Rykard but that was it.

You can still continue the quest even if you handed off the potion to Gideon (or foisted it off on the turd burglar) - Seluvis just assumes everything went to plan.

So you can still get the scorpion charm with a clear conscience.

You get the magic scorpion charm even without having to give the magic roofies to the intended victim, just the ingredients to the wizard pervert.

BTW here's a funny little interaction: during Ranni's quest when you first join her service, she locks you inside the tower and you have to walk and talk with all of Ranni's scooby doo gang before you have to talk to her again. If you talk to Seluvis once, then walk away, he will literally chime up "hey you can find me in that other tower over there". For all his high handed talk he's a useless poo poo who needs other people to get things done.

He was pretending to be dead in the poison castle and I got suspicious I figured I'd gotten all I could from him anyway. Roughly 12 hours after I killed him they patched in more content for him, so I've been punished for my foul tarnished actions

I think it's pretty simple, get the potion and don't progress Ranni's quest until you get to lyndell. You just need to give him the potion before Ranni decides to fire Sevelus.
