Old Albus is an NPC in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
An elderly resident of the Village of the Albinaurics, Albus was one of the few survivors of the massacre of the village at the hands of Gideon's men, and the only one to retain his sanity.[1] He was in possession of the right half of a medallion, which would grant access to Miquella's Haligtree if united with the left half, and in order to protect it he disguised himself as a pot.
The Tarnished encounters him in the village, breaking the illusion to reveal his true Albinauric form. After ascertaining that the Tarnished was not among the cursemongers, Albus bestows his half of the medallion to them, beseeching them to give it to an Albinauric woman named Latenna[2], claiming that she would need it to fulfil her purpose of seeking out the Albinaurics' chosen land.[3] With this done, he fades away, meeting the fate faced by all Albinaurics.[4]
Questline Progression[]
- Village of the Albinaurics
- Albus can be found, disguised as a pot, at the top of the slope past the Village of the Albinaurics Site of Grace, near the Depraved Perfumer. Roll or attack the pot to break the illusion and reveal Albus. Exhaust his dialogue to obtain the Haligtree Secret Medallion (Right), which can be shown to Latenna the Albinauric at the Slumbering Wolf's Shack in order to progress her questline.

Dialogue[]
| English Dialogue |
| After attacking the pot |
|---|
| Ah! |
| Please, no. Dear me! |
| I haven't a clue. |
| No secrets lie with me, not a one. |
| Oh, please. Leave me be. |
| Talking after breaking the illusion |
| Wait, then, you're not one of them? |
| Well, what a relief. |
| Oh, goodness me. |
| I am Albus. An Albinauric, as you can see. |
| We're finished. The whole village is finished. |
| The cursemongers have destroyed everything. No one that remains has their wits about them. |
| I beg you. Would you look after this medallion? |
| You must keep it out of the cursemongers' hands. |
| And if you should meet the young Albinauric Latenna, |
| then please, give it to her. |
| If talked to again |
| A chosen land awaits us Albinaurics. |
| The medallion is the key that leads to the city. |
| It's only a quaint treasure, for we who cannot make the journey. |
| But for dear Latenna, it is needed. To fulfil her purpose. |
| If talked to again |
| My legs will soon fade, and with them, my life. |
| Alas, this is the immovable fate of all Albinaurics. |
| ... |
| If attacked |
| Ngh! |
| We are Albinaurics. |
| We have caused you no harm! |
| If the player is killed |
| I will never give this up. |
| Not to your kind. |
| Death |
| You merciless brutes. |
| Let the curse take everything. |
| Japanese Dialogue |
| After attacking the pot |
|---|
| ひいっ！ひいいっ… |
| やめてくれ…、やめてくれっ… |
| 儂は何も知らぬ… |
| 何も、隠してはおらぬっ… |
| だから、お願いじゃ。やめてくれっ… |
| Talking after breaking the illusion |
| …あんた、あいつらの仲間じゃあないのか |
| …そうか、よかった… |
| …ああ、すまない |
| 儂はアルバス。見ての通り、しろがね人じゃ |
| …だが儂らは、この村は、もう終わりじゃ |
| 忌まわしい呪殺者どもが、すべて壊してしまった。もう、まともな者など、誰もおらん |
| …あんた、お願いだ。この割符を持っていってくれんか |
| 呪殺者どもに、奪われるわけにはいかんのじゃ |
| そしてもし、ラティナという、しろがね人の娘に出会えたら |
| それを、渡してあげて欲しいのじゃよ |
| Note: 呪殺者ども means something like "cursed killers" or "curse killers." Was translated as "cursemongers." |
| If talked to again |
| 我らしろがね人には、約束の地があるのじゃ |
| 先ほどの割符は、その地に至るための、鍵なのじゃよ |
| …もっとも、もう旅などできぬ我らには、過ぎたる宝じゃが |
| あの娘、
ラティナの使命のためには、きっと必要になるじゃろうて |
| If talked to again |
| …もうすぐに、儂の脚はすべて消え、命も終わる |
| それはしろがね人の、決して避けられぬ宿痾なのだ |
| ... |
| Note: Rather than "fate", he says 宿痾 - "dwelling disease" or "innate illness." |
| If attacked |
| ぐうっ |
| …何をしたというのだ |
| 我らしろがね人が、お前たちに！ |
| If the player is killed |
| …これだけは、渡すものか |
| お前たちなどに |
| Death |
| …慈悲なき者たちよ |
| すべて、呪われるがいい… |
