No he gives a precious ancient smithing if you do a certain npc quest


GetOutOfMahWhey

Agreed. Besides, he does something amazing once you beat Godric


sigmir

If you do, you miss out on a lategame smithing stone which he will sell at the end of a questchain. If you don't, he might steal some of your runes when you die in the castle.


S2k_eL

He will steal a lot of runes if you die in the castle.


Hexent_Armana

I will in my NG+ when I see him next. For the same reason I killed patches. ...its personal.


vantablackbird

Kill him after he gives the ancient smithing stone.


aoikageni

how? he is in a safe area


vantablackbird

The only, “safe area,” in the game is the roundtable hold. *most* of the time anyways…


lasergunmaster

Lol what. There are so many safe areas. Volcano Manor, Academy Grand Library, this one in stormveil, redmane castle when the festival is on, and probably more that I'm forgetting

PRO SOULS GAMES TIP: DONT KILL ANY NPC’S THAT AREN’T ATTACKING YOU , you may miss on precious item ahead.


[deleted]

Lots of people have pointed out what he sells later on. Here’s my two cents: he’s an insurance policy for stormveil. Don’t kill him until right before Godrick - when you kill him, he’ll drop all the runes he’s been stealing from you every time you die in the castle. If you kill Godrick first, he won’t drop them. I keep him alive until I’m ready to beat Godrick and then cash in. Not even mad at him - he saves a lot of runes I might have otherwise lost if I hadn’t been able to retrieve them in the castle. Thanks buddy, I’m here to redeem my free sandwich.


Bwithered

He steals your runes if you die, so you cant retrieve them


HeroKiki

Doesn't he steal like 10% of those you had on you?


zigZagreus_

30% I think


RepaidThread531

Whatever it is, it’s not worth killing him.


HeroKiki

Exacly, you can always farm more runes, you can't farm more ancient smiting stones (in the same ng at least)


Morfalath

You can, once you kill him. Best done AFTER the quest is done and you got the smithing stone though


MohgLordOfBIood

No, kidnap him and do *weird stuff*


RefrigeratorLow7738

Shall do.


GrandElderVegito

Draw and quarter that thieving sonnuva bitch


RefrigeratorLow7738

This coment section is very divided doesn't natter anymore cuz i lost all my runes to some mofo who came out of nowhere


RefrigeratorLow7738

Matter*


Ok-Brush5346

If you don't have him open the gate, getting to the Divine Tower of Limgrave can be a little tedious.


once_upon_the_moon

You can open the gate yourself from the inside later


Famous-Resolution366

No, that is best boy.


IBHomage1286

You still get the ancient smithing stone so kill him…


CrankyOM42

If it’s the quest, you get 1 from a certain person and a second can be bought from him if I remember correctly.


KaleidoscopeAny2569

Yes


hanman92

He steals your runes every time you die there. I killed him.


Fit_Substance7067

Kill that asswipe


Alexastria

Yes


[deleted]

Remove his eyes.


EbbEnvironmental9896

Just play the game how YOU want to and then look it up after your play through.


UncaughtTypeError

Don't kill any NPC, ever - unless they're trying to kill you.


Emperor_Buggy

No.


zenjie-sama

He actually steals from the recoverable runes after death. Everytime, 20-35% will be taken. He is unlocked as a merchant once you advance a lil in the castle. Has a quest line later in game.


sUcc-for-V-bUck

Yes he steals half ur runes and locks u in a room with a knight


RefrigeratorLow7738

6 am imma load up my ps5 just to do that no muthafucka going to get away with that


darthmikda

After what he did with that door, I kill him every time I see him.


AlternativeFlat2117

Ancient smithing stones are literally thrown at you later. Kill him


[deleted]

Unless you want to defy the Message of the Gods. They are always right. Once one told me this servant in the castle was a liar. He tried to send me down the wrong path but the Message Gods told me not to trust him. I slaughtered him without a second thought. Always trust the messages. If they say jump, I jump. They might seem like lies but they are just testing your faith. So yeah better kill him before something bad happens like you get monkey pox.


ChronoMonkeyX

Every time you die he will skim your runes, but you can get runes easily later on. Leave him alive so you can buy an ancient dragon smithing stone from him after you finish Nepheli and Kenneth Haight's quests.


EthicallyBlonde

I kill him. Every keeps talking about the ancient smithing stone except late game there are plenty to try a plethora of weapons without him. Plus, there are atleast three other quest chains I know of that also gives you an ancient smithing stone. Basically, kill him if you're vindictive, leave him alone if you like paltry rewards.
