Boc the Seamster or Demi-Human Boc is an NPC in Elden Ring. He offers the player the ability to modify their garments, free of charge.
Overview[]
Boc is a demi-human seamster from Limgrave. He was very close to his mother, a seamstress, until her passing. Inspired by her, Boc aspired to follow in her footsteps and inherited her sewing kit. He lived with a demi-human tribe in a Coastal Cave on the western coast of Limgrave, but at some point, he was cast out by his kin. Lost and isolated, Boc was transformed into a bush by a spell.
A Tarnished came across Boc and broke the spell, freeing him. Grateful, Boc offered to sneak back into the cave where he had been exiled to retrieve something precious with which to repay his champion. However, his former tribe discovered him and beat him mercilessly. When the champion found Boc again, he warned them not to enter the cave. Ignoring his warning, the champion avenged Boc and recovered his mother's cherished sewing needle. Moved by their kindness, Boc vowed to become a seamster like his mother.
Boc next encounters the champion in Liurnia of the Lakes, where he humbly offers his services as the champion's personal seamster. He will trace the champion's footsteps, following them to the Altus Plateau and the Royal Capital. Boc remains in awe of his master, and as the Tarnished champion draws closer to the throne of the Elden Lord, Boc will begin to refer to them as a lord.
Even though Boc is given a golden needle worthy of a master seamster, allowing him to perform modifications to the grab of the demigods themselves, Boc remains terribly self-conscious and bothered by his appearance. He asks his master whether they think he is ugly and expresses an interest in being reborn by Queen Rennala. Should the Tarnished champion aid Boc in fulfilling his wish to be reborn, Boc will travel to the Academy of Raya Lucaria and will be reborn a human through her powers. However, like many of those reborn by Rennala, the process goes awry, and Boc dies shortly thereafter.
Instead, the Tarnished champion may find a Prattling Pate which speaks with the voice of Boc's deceased mother, and tells him he's beautiful. Upon hearing this, Boc will be contented and will continue faithfully serving his lord.

Questline Progression[]
- Limgrave
- Boc can be found in the form of a small tree near Gatefront Ruins. He will call out until you attack or roll into the tree, reversing the illusion and causing him to transform back.
- Limgrave (Coastal Cave)
- Boc can be found lying on the ground beside the Site of Grace at the start of the dungeon. Defeating the Demi-Human Chief dual boss of the area will reward you with the Sewing Needle, which can be given to Boc.
- Liurnia of the Lakes (Lake-facing Cliffs)
- (Optional) Boc will be next to the Site of Grace. He will offer to make alterations to your equipment free of charge.
- Liurnia of the Lakes (East Raya Lucaria Gate)
- (Optional) Boc can be given the Gold Sewing Needle, which allows him to alter Demigod equipment. He can be given the item in subsequent steps of his questline instead if this step is missed.
- Altus Plateau (Altus Highway Junction)
- (Optional) Boc will ask if he can call you Lord at this point if he has already been given the Gold Sewing Needle. Agreeing will unlock the "My Lord" gesture.
- Leyndell, Royal Capital (East Capital Rampart)
- If Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon has been defeated, Boc will ask for a Larval Tear.
- Giving him a Larval Tear will move him to Raya Lucaria Grand Library. He will appear kneeling on the ground in human form, unresponsive. Upon reloading the area, he will be dead.
- Refusing to give him a Larval Tear will unlock the dialogue option "What do you really think?". Selecting this option will cause him to die just outside Raya Lucaria Grand Library.
- Using Prattling Pate "You're Beautiful" in front of him will prevent him from dying. He will remain at East Capital Rampart for the rest of the game.

| English Dialogue |
| When approached in Limgrave |
|---|
| Oi! You there! |
| Could you help us out, cully? |
| You, yeah, you there! |
| Stop pretending you can't see me! |
| Why won't anyone look me in the eye? |
| I-I'm not that ugly, am I? |
| When attacked or rolled into while in tree form |
| Ow! |
| What'd you go and do that for! |
| Introduction |
| Hm? Oh, yes, I remember. |
| Some clod turned me into a tree. |
| You were just breaking the spell, weren't you. |
| Thank you. The name's Boc. |
| I was pushed out of the cave. Told not to come back, not ever. |
| Then I ended up as a tree. |
| Lucky you came along, really. |
| If talked to again |
| Oh, what a shame. |
| When they threw me out of the cave, they took everything I owned, |
| and so this is all I have to express my thanks. |
| I hope you can forgive me. |
| Or, if you can afford to wait for a while, |
| I could sneak back into the cave, and bring back something of actual value. |
| Then I'd be of some real use to you, I reckon. |
| If talked to again |
| Right, but I'll need a moment. |
| I-I'm frightened of them... So I have to gather myself. |
| My knees start knockin'...just thinking about that god-awful cave on the shore... |
| When approached in Coastal Cave |
| Oh.. It...hurts... Ooh... |
| First encounter in Coastal Cave |
| Oh, what are you doing here? |
| You must leave this place at once. They'll rush in and beat you to a pulp. |
| You'll end up just like me. |
| Talking in Coastal Cave with Sewing Needle in inventory |
| Wait, is that what I think it is? |
| You got it back for me? My sewing needle! |
| What made you go and do a thing like that... |
| My mum was a seamstress... |
| ...and that sewing kit was all I had to remember her by. |
| I always wanted to be just like sweet old Mum. |
| Then, I suppose I-I can't just curl up and die, can I. |
| If talked to again |
| Thank you. |
| You're very kind. |
| I always wanted to be a seamster, l-like my mum. |
| Then, I suppose I can't just curl up and die, can I. |
| Dialogue at Lake-Facing Cliffs |
| Good to see you! Master. |
| Do you remember me? Boc, the demi-human. |
| You helped me before, and retrieved my sewing needle. |
| Please, master. |
| Allow me to serve you, as your seamster. |
| I can't make nothing from scratch, but… |
| I'm happy to make adjustments to your garments. |
| Generic greeting |
| Boc the seamster, at your service, Master/M'lord. |
| Ready to make adjustments to your garments. |
| Goodbye |
| Oh, going so soon? |
| Please, do be safe on your journeys. |
| "Don't tell me..." |
| Master, I was wondering... |
| Do you ever...make adjustments to your garb yourself? |
| I would, well, rather you let me do the job when possible, please. |
| I don't ask anything in return, you know, and, well... |
| I am your personal seamster, after all! |
| "I'm sorry..." |
| Master, my apologies. |
| Your wardrobe includes the garb of old demigods, |
| and I'm afraid I can't make adjustments to them. |
| My mum told me once. |
| That a royal seamster would do them up in a jiffy. |
| Just wait, master. Before long, I'll be that good, too! |
| "Give Gold Sewing Needle" |
| Is that a gift for my undeserving self? |
| Thank you kindly. But what on earth could it... |
| Oh! |
| Amazing! I've never seen a golden needle, not in all my life! |
| With a spectacular royal crest, to boot... |
| Are you certain that this is for me? |
| Oh, I can hardly believe it. |
| Have faith in me, Master! |
| I'll polish my craft enough that I deserve this golden gift! |
| I'll be the golden seamster, Boc! |
| Now I'll be able to sew anything, even the threads of the demigods! |
| "Surely she'd be happy for you?" |
| Do you think that Mum would be pleased if she knew? |
| That I'm as good as any royal seamster, now. |
| Oh, it's still not enough. |
| I need to learn how to sew from scratch, like her. |
| "I have a favor to ask" |
| Master, may I ask you something? |
| Would you mind if I called you lord? |
| I heard that you and the other Tarnished seek the throne of the Elden Lord. |
| Well, I know that you will be the one, |
| and you'd make just the manner of kind-hearted lord that I'd wish for. |
| So, please, if you would. |
| Allow me to call you lord. |
| "You may call me lord" |
| You don't say! Thank you, thank you! |
| M'lord, m'lord, m'lord! |
| Please, become Elden Lord. |
| And please, let I, Boc the seamster, remain at your side. |
| "Don't call me that" |
| No, and why would you... |
| Forgive me, for overstepping my bounds. I didn't mean it. |
| Goodbye (if "You may call me lord" was selected) |
| Going already, m'lord? |
| Please, do be safe on your journeys. |
| "Did you see it?" |
| Master/M'lord, did you see it? |
| Th-the Erdtree? |
| I, oh, I don't really have the words for this... |
| But I was so...so dazzled, I felt something stir, in my breast. |
| The Erdtree is waiting for you, master/m'lord. |
| I know it, I do. I feel it in my bones. |
| "Have you ever thought so?" |
| Master/M'lord... Have you ever wished you might be born again? |
| Well, they say that Rennala of Raya Lucaria |
| has the power to help people be reborn. |
| Oh? Me? Reborn? |
| Oh, look at me. When you're this ugly... |
| well, being reborn? It would hardly make a difference, I'm afraid. |
| Giving him a Larval Tear |
| Master/M'lord, what's this? |
| Oh! Oh! |
| It can't be… For my rebirth? |
| But these are precious, are you certain that it's for me? |
| Oh... |
| Master/M'lord, how did you know? |
| It was my only wish, that I might honour you with a decent appearance |
| "Please wait" |
| Master/M'lord, it shouldn't take me long. |
| I'm off to see Rennala of Raya Lucaria. |
| I'll be reborn, fresh and new. |
| "What do you really think?" |
| Master/M'lord. |
| In all honesty, what do you think of me? |
| Am I fit to serve you, master, in all my ugliness?/Am I fit to serve a lord such as you, in all my ugliness? |
| Must I be reborn, no matter what ill fate awaits me? |
| Oh, I'm such a fool. |
| I don't even have answers to the simplest of questions. |
| If Prattling Pate "You're Beautiful" is used in front of him |
| Did I just hear my mum speaking? |
| Thank you very much. |
| Mum was always the only one who said I was beautiful. |
| And now, my dear lord let me hear her voice. |
| Please, if I may dream, just once... |
| Do you feel the same way my mum did, master/m'lord? |
| Do you think I'm beautiful, despite these looks? |
| "Not at all" |
| No, why on earth would you... |
| It was silly of me to ask. Please, forget that I did. |
| But I beg, don't renounce me for my appearance. |
| One day, I'll look every bit the servant. |
| "That's right" |
| M'lord, my dear lord.../Master, kind master... |
| I, Boc the seamster, am forever in your service. |
| May the throne of Elden Lord be yours. |
| If attacked |
| Ow! |
| Why'd you go and do that? |
| It's because I'm ugly, isn't it? |
| If turned hostile |
| Oh, now, you too, is it? |
| The story of my rotten life... |
| Ah...aaah! |
| If the player is killed |
| No... |
| I never wanted this... |
| Death |
| Mum... |
| I've... I've let you down... |
| If attacked (after giving Sewing Needle) |
| Ow! |
| M-master?/M-m'lord? |
| Is something wrong? |
| It's me! Boc, the seamster! |
| If attacked again |
| Master/M'lord, what's happened... |
| Did I do something wrong? |
| Or is it just...because I'm ugly? |
| If turned hostile (after giving Sewing Needle) |
| Oh, my... |
| Master/M'lord, is that the truth, your heart of hearts? My, oh my... |
| Ah...aaah! |
| If the player is killed (after giving Sewing Needle) |
| Oh, master/m'lord, what have I done... |
| Master! Master!/M'lord! M'Lord! |
| Death (after giving Sewing Needle) |
| Master.../M'lord... |
| I've failed you...please, forgive me. |
