Patches the Spider ❘ 蜘蛛のパッチ	NPC

Description A familiar face with an unfamiliar body, Patches will make his presence known once you've entered the Forbidden Woods, from which point he will take every possible opportunity to force the Tonsil Stone upon you and lure you into the clutches of his illegitimate god, Amygdala. The first place you're likely to encounter him is at the house near the kennels and the portcullis in the Forbidden Woods; with the Tonsil Stone in your hands, you'll be able to access the Lecture Building and the Nightmare Frontier, allowing you to complete Patches' quest and receive the associated rewards. He'll later appear in the Chalice Dungeons as a merchant, assisting you during your explorations by providing much-needed and accordingly overpriced items. Locations After Vicar Amelia is defeated and Forbidden Woods is entered, Patches' voice appears behind any lit window and door of Yharnam Residents in the world to give you the Tonsil Stone. Lecture Building, behind a closed door on 1st floor, which can be accessed through the 2nd floor. Nightmare Frontier, cliff over poison swamp. Various Root Chalice Dungeons as a merchant Progression 1. Central Yharnam / Cathedral Ward / Forbidden Woods / Hemwick Charnel Lane Residence of any Yharnamites [Night / Blood Moon] When you enter the Forbidden Woods, he will take over various residents in and around Yharnam, speak to him in any of these locations to receive the Tonsil Stone. Note: If you didn't interact with any residents during the nighttime, Patches will replace only three residents during the Blood Moon: Young Girl & Older Sister; Male in Healing Church Workshop; Village Alleyways - Grounds Level and Female in Forbidden Woods Village Outskirts on path to Subterranean Cave Entrance. All other residents are not available and will have prompt "No response". 2. Cathedral Ward Entrance of Yahar'gul [Night / Blood Moon] Allow the False God clinging to the wall above the entrance to grab you. With the Tonsil Stone in your possession, you'll be brought to the Lecture Building rather than killed. 3. Lecture Building 1F Patches' Lab [Night / Blood Moon] Speak to him and proceed through the Lecture Hall to the Nightmare Frontier. 4. Nightmare Frontier Lower Caves [Night / Blood Moon] Approach his position to initiate an event in which he shoves you off the cliff. 5. Lecture Building 2F Patches' Lab [Blood Moon] Enter his hideout through the floor hatch behind the Church Giant and speak to him to receive a gesture. Speak to him again and select either dialogue prompt, then speak to him a final time to receive a rune. 6. Root Chalice Dungeons After confronting Patches face-to-face in the Lecture Building and completing his quest by talking to him after you defeat Amygdala and Micolash, he'll appear in the Chalice Dungeons on the extremely rare occasion to sell you items at drastically inflated prices. You will find him hanging upside-down from the ceiling, you have to watch carefully above you while exploring to avoid missing him. (more about his triggers to depart into dungeons in the notes) Patches in Disguise Patches will take over various residents in and around Yharnam, speak to him in any of these locations to receive the Tonsil Stone. You can find more about the residents in the Yharnam's Residents wiki page. Gilbert: Central Yharnam; in front of Central Yharnam lamp. Male: Central Yharnam; up stairs on the right further down the Main Street. Male: Central Yharnam; left side of the Main Street. Female: Central Yharnam; next to The Plaza after Hunter's Flame. Old Woman: Central Yharnam; right before the entrance to Dry Docks. Female: Central Yharnam, on path to Canal Residence after Aqueduct. Young Girl & Older Sister: Central Yharnam; Canal Residence after Aqueduct. Arianna: Cathedral Ward; Foggy Alley (beginning) next to Grand Cathedral Plaza. Bigoted Old Man: Cathedral Ward; Foggy Alley (beginning) next to Grand Cathedral Plaza. Male: Cathedral Ward; Foggy Alley (Left) next to Grand Cathedral Plaza. Female: Cathedral Ward; Foggy Alley (Right) next to Grand Cathedral Plaza. Male: Cathedral Ward; Worshiper's Lodgings on path to Yahar'gul. Female: Cathedral Ward; Worshiper's Lodgings on path to Yahar'gul. Female: Hemwick Charnel Lane; The Morque after first Village Square. Male: Healing Church Workshop; Village Alleyways - Grounds Level. Female: Forbidden Woods; Village Outskirts on path to Subterranean Cave Entrance. Drops Great One's Wisdom x1 [100%] Notes Triggers to depart into dungeons as rare merchant: Patches on the table, Kill Amygdala and Kill Micolash. Common misconception is that this dialogue is the final trigger, but it is not. "Ahh, well met. This is a most pleasing encounter. You see, I must depart erelong. My god is lost to me, so I must away to find another. If the fates are kind, out paths may cross again. Sooner still, if you were to take the leap... Heh heh heh... Hah hah hah!" You must wait out that dialogue completely, which sets a flag on which then prepares his final talk script: Oh, think not of poor Amygdala. Upon that piteous bastard, you bestowed salvation. Heh heh... All's well, that ends well... Heh heh heh... He will then loop with: Oh, think not of poor Amygdala. Upon that piteous bastard, you bestowed salvation. Then, once you leave the Lecture Hall, the final flag gets set on and he will leave for the dungeons. Preset Chalice Dungeons: None Any residential NPC that was sent into safe place (Iosefka's Clinic or Oedon Chapel) won't be replaced by Patches the Spider. Due to sequence breaking [Timezone Manipulation] you can see that Eileen and Patches have different triggers to progress their quest lines despite both have essentially enter the Forbidden Woods trigger. It's irrelevant unless you're sequence breaking, the trigger for Eileen to disappear / go blood drunk is you "entering forbidden woods", as in, the "Forbidden Woods" title card comes up but Patches can be triggered before that if you just go down the ladder and then come up again, he'll be at the window and Eileen will still be in Central Yharnam. If you go all the way out of the cave, Eileen disappears. He will not drop Blood Dreg when Corruption Oath Caryll rune is equipped. Acquiring any weapon that's new in The Old Hunters DLC will also unlock its Uncanny and Lost variant in Chalice Bath Messengers & Patches, the Spider shop, for the same price as normal variant. Purchasing these variants will then make them available back in the regular Bath Messengers shop. Patches as rare merchant has been confirmed to appear in Isz Root s6duf98m in the first room and Lower Loran Root f28prvum on Layer 2. Aggroed Patches (following same rule as beast transformed Gilbert) is considered as NPC for cooperators & adversaries and cannot be damaged by them. However other enemies can damage him and vice versa even though they are not hostile to each other. In Nightmare of Mensis near to Brain of Mensis you can find room full of spiders with Patches head, though they are hostile and don't speak.

Pungent Blood Cocktails attract this NPC if aggroed, making it vulnerable for few seconds. Shaman Bone Blades don't affect this NPC if aggroed, making the item ineffective. Cooperation & NPCs Note that cooperators can not damage the NPCs, as they only see the transparent silhouette of it. Therefore if you make the NPC hostile your cooperator isn't able to help you other than to "body block" it.

Indoors ...Oh, a hunter of beasts, are you? Glory be. You know not the value you possess. ...But, more's the pity... The hours of the night are many, and the beasts more than I can count. A veritable hunt unending! Not even death offers solace, and the blood imbibes you. Ha, a most frightful fate, oh my. But I'm willing to do you a kindness. Step lightly round to the right of the great cathedral, and seek an ancient, shrouded church. ...The gift of the godhead will grant you strength... Yes, I'm unquestionably certain, heheh... Talk again Not even death offers solace, and the blood imbibes you. Seek you the ancient, shrouded church hidden to the right of the main cathedral. ...The gift of the godhead will grant you strength... Cutscene in the shrouded church Heh heh heh heh...Oh Amygdala, oh Amygdala... Have mercy on the poor bastard...Hah hah hah! Behind the door in Lecture Building 1F What a joy it is, to behold the divine. It must be such a pleasure. You're in my debt, you know. You're in nigh on a beast of the field, but here you are, treading a measure with the gods. Talk again Heh heh...Are your feet as fat as your wits? Oh, cease this dithering! Take the plunge! Throw yourself to the wolves!...Heh heh heh... Cutscene in Nightmare Frontier Hah hah hah! Don't dally, you lucky scamp! The gift of the godhead cometh! Heh heh heh... yes... Ha hah! Talk face to face Huh! Oh, this cannot be, you cannot be... No, you didn't... Lord Amygdala... ...How did this come to pass? Hmph! Now, wait just a moment... Do you think ill of me, me? Select "No" Indeed, I should think not! I shared with you a thing most secret. Now you're witness to a miracle, and all the stronger for it! You should appreciate it, if you've a grain of gratitude in you! Heh heh... yes, appreciate it! Hah hah hah!

Select "Yes" Oh, it pains me to hear it. You've made yourself a misreckoning. I shared with you a thing most secret. Now you're witness to a miracle, and all the stronger for it! It's plain as a pikestaff. Now, say in my heart, you were as a lamb to my god. Well, you weren't to know, and it wasn't for you to know. All's well that ends well, I say. Heh heh heh! Talk again No matter. Such details are trifling. We're fast friends by now. Let this express what words cannot. Oh, doubt me not, sweet compeer. What is friendship, but a chance encounter? Heh heh heh... Talk again Ahh, well met. My apologies, but I feel a profound though occuring... On the good grace of a certain god, and the way he meted out his love. Heh heh heh... Talk again (Amygdala defeated) Ahh, well met. This is a most pleasing encounter. You see, I must depart erelong. My god is lost to me, so I must away to find another. If the fates are kind, out paths may cross again. Sooner still, if you were to take the leap... Heh heh heh... Hah hah hah! Talk again Oh, think not of poor Amygdala. Upon that piteous bastard, you bestowed salvation. Heh heh... All's well, that ends well... Heh heh heh... Talk again Oh, think not of poor Amygdala. Upon that piteous bastard, you bestowed salvation. Encounter in Chalice Dungeons Aah! The sight of you is as balm to my eyes! Truly, you are an indubitable, irrefutable friend! And, my dear compeer, I vow once more to ease your burden! Leave The time has come again I fear. But if the fates smile upon us, we'll soon meet again. Farewell, dear friend. Upon death Ergh, that was uncharitably done... That was uncharitably done, dear friend...
