Roderika, Spirit Tuner, also known as the Heartbroken Maiden, is a merchant character in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
A Tarnished[1] noblewoman who, despite having never seen the guidance of grace[2], travelled to the Lands Between along with her companions. After arriving, those companions fell victim to Godrick, becoming subjects for his grafting.[3] Roderika alone survived, taking refuge in Stormhill Shack. It is here that she meets the Tarnished. She beseeches the Tarnished to bring a message to her grafted companions, whom she refers to as chrysalids, assuring them that she loves them and will join them soon.[4]
Roderika then heads to Roundtable Hold. Here, she becomes acquainted with Smithing Master Hewg, who takes notice of her gift for spirit tuning and is reminded of a spirit tuner he knew long ago, whose eyes were of the same hue as Roderika's.[5] Reluctantly, Hewg agrees to teach Roderika everything he knows about spirit tuning.
Roderika remains at Roundtable Hold, where she hones her newfound talent and eventually becomes a fully-fledged spirit tuner.[6] Her ability to sense spirits allows her to notice the Dung Eater's presence, which she warns the Tarnished about.[7]
After the Erdtree burns, Roderika attempts to convince Hewg to leave Roundtable[8], but to no avail. She chooses to respect Hewg's decision, and remains behind with him even after he forgets her.[9] As the hold burns, she begs the Tarnished to become Elden Lord, and to use the weapons Hewg forged to slay Queen Marika the Eternal.[10]

Dialogue[]
| English Dialogue |
| Introduction (Stormhill Shack) |
|---|
| Everyone's...been grafted. |
| Everyone who came with me. They crossed the sea for me. They fought, for me. |
| Heh... |
| Only to have their arms taken. Their legs taken. Even their heads...taken. Taken and stuck to the spider. |
| Did you know? If you're grafted by the spider, you become a chrysalid. |
| It's quite the lark, when you think about it. |
| If talked to again |
| You're all on your own, are you? |
| And heading to Stormveil Castle? |
| Enticed by the one in the white mask, I suppose. Oh, you've come to be one with the spider? |
| Well, that makes us two peas in a pod. |
| But I don't have your courage. |
| It's scary, you know. Having your arms cut off. Or legs. Or your head. |
| I want to be like everyone else, but I'm just too scared. |
| I'm nothing but a craven. |
| If talked to again |
| Oh, I know. |
| Can you take this little one along with you? |
| The poor thing deserves someone braver than myself… |
| And the spirits look rather fondly upon you. |
| It'll be glad of your company, I think, the little'un. |
| If talked to again |
| It was a pleasure to see you. |
| Oh, can you pass on a message for me, if you see the little chrysalids in Stormveil Castle? |
| Tell them I love them. And that despite my craven heart, I'm sure I'll be joining their club soon enough. |
| I'm finally getting the hang of this whole "pain" thing, you know. |
| Heh heh... |
| If talked to again |
| A pleasure to see you. |
| Did you give the little chrysalids the message? |
| That I love them. And that despite my craven heart, I'm sure I'll be joining their club soon enough. |
| Giving her the Chrysalid's Memento |
| What's this? |
| A keepsake? From my men? |
| Oh, goodness me… |
| I can't… |
| ... |
| If talked to again |
| They all...believed in me. |
| They all thought I'd make something of myself. Me! Who can't do anything... |
| I think I'll head to the Roundtable Hold. |
| Perhaps I'll find my purpose there. |
| If talked to again |
| I think I'll head to the Roundtable Hold. |
| Perhaps I'll find my purpose there. |
| In Roundtable Hold (if previously met in Stormhill Shack) |
| Greetings. Nice to see you again. |
| My name is Roderika. I should have told you sooner. |
| The Roundtable Hold, covert quarters of the Two Fingers, and gathering place of champions who vie to become Elden Lord. |
| I never knew the guidance bestowed upon us Tarnished had such fantastic roots. |
| Although, it's all a bit much for me, in truth. |
| I'm still looking for my own purpose. |
| If given Chrysalid's Memento at Stormhill Shack |
| Oh, and… |
| Please, allow to me to express my thanks. |
| For giving me that keepsake from my men. |
| It was as if I was frozen with self-pity. I failed them at every turn. |
| You have my gratitude. Please, take this. |
| In Roundtable Hold (if not previously met) |
| A pleasure to meet you. |
| My name is Roderika. I'm a recent arrival. |
| Isn't this place impressive? |
| The Roundtable Hold, covert quarters of the Two Fingers, and gathering place of champions who vie to become Elden Lord. |
| I never knew the guidance bestowed upon us Tarnished had such fantastic roots. |
| Although, it's all a bit much for me, in truth. |
| I'm still looking for my own purpose. |
| If talked to again |
| It's all a bit much for me, in truth. |
| I'm still looking for my own purpose. |
| After reloading the area |
| A pleasure to see you. |
| Thank goodness you're safe. |
| I'm still looking for my own purpose. |
| It's not easy, by any means, but it's what I must do. |
| If Spirit Jellyfish Ashes not previously obtained |
| I'd like to ask you a small favour. |
| Can you take this little one along with you? |
| They can't be summoned here. |
| But the spirits look rather fondly upon you. |
| It'll be glad of your company, I think, the little'un. |
| "Tell her what the blacksmith said" |
| You're telling me I possess some kind of gift? |
| I don't believe you. But... |
| If I do have this talent, and goodness knows it would be my first... |
| I suppose I should try to hone it. Shouldn't I? |
| I'll ask Master Hewg to teach me. |
| Certainly, he does appear intimidating, and holds no love for us Tarnished... |
| But I know he's trapped here, at the Roundtable Hold... So... |
| I can tell. He's a gentle soul, underneath it all. |
| If talked to again |
| If I do have a talent for spirit tuning, and goodness knows that would be a surprise… |
| I suppose I should try to hone it. Shouldn't I? |
| I'll ask Master Hewg to teach me. |
| After persuading Hewg to teach her |
| Good to see you again. Thank you very much! |
| I have you to thank, don't I? For persuading Master Hewg? |
| I can happily announce that he has taught me the noble toil of spirit tuning. |
| I'm as yet unsure of what I might be able to accomplish, |
| but if I might be any help to you all, I'd certainly like to try. |
| And if there's any chance to ease the suffering of my dear men who were grafted... |
| Well, I certainly must try. |
| Roderika the spirit tuner prentice. Pleased to make your acquaintance. |
| Generic greeting |
| Greetings. |
| Are you here for spirit tuning? |
| After upgrading a Spirit Ash to +4 |
| I feel like I'm really coming to grips with spirit tuning of late. |
| I can see how and why immortal essence exists as spirit under the Golden Order. |
| I can understand their yearnings, what they become drawn to... |
| Master Hewg said it himself, actually, that I'm no mere prentice any longer. |
| Once again, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. Roderika the certified spirit tuner. |
| "There's something you should know" (after Dung Eater arrives in Roundtable Hold) |
| I need to warn you about something. |
| A little while ago someone started lurking in the wing on the opposite side of the roundtable. |
| And I can hear, from all the way over there... |
| The howling and wailing of spirits in fear of a curse. I can even hear the repulsive, twisted malison itself... |
| A plethora of spirits in an unceasing cacophony... |
| I can't even imagine. How much suffering, inflicted to who knows how many souls... |
| Not even the grafting caused anything like this to happen... |
| You should keep your distance. |
| I know you're strong, but please... |
| If talked to again |
| I can hear it from across the wing, past the roundtable... |
| The howling and wailing of spirits in fear of a curse. I can even hear the repulsive, twisted malison itself... |
| You should keep your distance. |
| I know you're strong, but please... |
| "About the spirits' voices" (after releasing Dung Eater from his gaol) |
| I can't hear them any more; the voices of the spirits cowering from the curse... |
| I suppose the Dung Eater must have left the Roundtable. |
| I just pray nothing ill comes of this. |
| "Please take care" (after Dung Eater returns to Roundtable Hold) |
| Be on your guard, I beg you. |
| He's back. The Dung Eater. Again. |
| I can hear them; the spirits as they howl and lament in fear of the curse. |
| And worse than ever, the reverberations of the twisted malison itself. |
| But after all this time, I've started to grasp it now. |
| I can hear, in the malison, another fearsome Order. |
| "About the spirit's voices" (after Dung Eater leaves Roundtable Hold once again) |
| The voices of the tormented spirits are silent again.. |
| But it isn't like last time. |
| I'm almost certain...the spirits have escaped their confinement. |
| Did you...have anything to do with it, I wonder? |
| After burning the Erdtree |
| Take a look around. The Roundtable Hold is burned. Razed to the ground. |
| The Two Fingers went mad, and the Tarnished have all left. |
| Myself and Master Hewg are the only ones who remain. |
| Don't worry, I don't blame you. |
| I'll continue spirit tuning just the same as before. |
| Which is why I need your help persuading Master Hewg to leave. |
| His roots are so knotted in this place. |
| He won't last much longer if he stays here... |
| His shackles are broken. He's a free man, now. |
| It's high time he put the Roundtable behind him. |
| Generic greeting |
| I see. You're here for some spirit tuning? |
| "About Hewg" (after trying to persuade him to leave) |
| Oh, is that right... |
| So Master Hewg won't listen to you, either. |
| You have my thanks, regardless. |
| I'll try and talk him round next time. |
| I know he was given this great entreaty; |
| To craft a weapon which could slay a god. Though I can't help but think of it as a curse. |
| A fearsome curse, put on him by Queen Marika. |
| And if that's the case, I'm not sure there's anything we can do... |
| "What happened with Hewg" (after defeating Maliketh and talking to Hewg) |
| Ah. So it wasn't just me this happened to... |
| To think he'd forget who you were, as well. |
| I knew he'd burn himself out, old Hewg. |
| I think we could talk him into leaving the Roundtable Hold, now. |
| But maybe it's better that we don't. |
| It's only proper that we respect his choice to stay. |
| If talked to again |
| I'll remain with Hewg. |
| He made me who I am today. |
| I'd like to return the kindness, in whatever small way I can. |
| If talked to again |
| Please, become Elden Lord. |
| Hewg was always saying that you were a Lord, to him. |
| So slay her, with the weapons he smithed. |
| Slay the god, Marika, who cursed us all. |
| If attacked |
| You're willing to make me a chrysalid? |
| Ah, but I'm still a milksop craven... |
| I can't even govern myself to step beyond the bounds of this ward. |
| Please. You're only wasting your strength. |
| I know how you must feel. |
| But please, I'm not ready. |
| Or are you like me? You're so far out of your mind with fear... |
| You've divested yourself of all reason? |
| Please, stop. |
| Even if you persist, your fear will not abate. |

| 貴方、お久しぶりです |
| 私はローデリカ。名乗りが遅れ、失礼をいたしました |
| 二本指の秘所、王を目指す英雄たちの円卓… |
| 褪せ人の導きが、このような神秘に通じるものだったなんて |
| …でも私には、円卓の導きは眩しすぎます |
| 探します。私に何ができるのかを |
| If given Chrysalid's Memento at Stormhill Shack |
| ああ、それと… |
| 貴方にお礼をさせてください |
| 貴方が、皆の形見を渡してくれなかったら |
| 私はただあそこで座り込み、自分を嘆き、皆を裏切り続けていました |
| 貴方に感謝します。どうか、受け取ってください |
| In Roundtable Hold (if not previously met) |
| はじめまして、貴方 |
| 私はローデリカ。つい先ほど、ここにやってきました |
| それにしても、ここはすごい場所ですね |
| 二本指の秘所、王を目指す英雄たちの円卓… |

| 信じられません。でも… |
| …もし少しでも、私にそんな才能があるのなら |
| それを知って、磨いてみたい。そう思います |

| If talked to again |
| …もし少しでも、私に調霊の才能があるのなら |

| After persuading Hewg to teach her |
| ああ、貴方、ありがとうございます |
| ヒューグ様を、説得してくださったのでしょう？ |
| お陰で、教えて頂けました。調霊のお仕事を |
| …私に、どれほどのことができるのか、分かりませんが |
| それが少しでも貴方たちのお役に立つのなら |

| 私はやってみようと思います |
| 調霊師見習いのローデリカ、どうか、よろしくお願いします |
| Generic greeting |
| ごきげんよう、貴方 |
| 調霊のお仕事でしょうか？ |
| After upgrading a Spirit Ash to +4 |
| …最近やっと、調霊のお仕事が分かってきました |
| 霊なる不死性が、律の元でどのようにあり |
| そして彼らが何を願い、惹かれるのか |
| …ヒューグ様は仰いました。私はもう見習いではないと |
| フフフッ |
| 改めて、調霊師のローデリカ、どうか、よろしくお願いします |
| "There's something you should know" (after Dung Eater arrives in Roundtable Hold) |
| …貴方に、お知らせしておきたいことがあります |
| 少し前に、円卓を挟んだあちら側の奥に、誰かがやってきたようなのです |
| …そして、この離れた場所からでも聞こえるのです |
| 呪いを恐れ、嘆き、泣き叫ぶ霊たちの声が。そして、おぞましい狂った呪詛が |
| 霊体は夥しく多く、その声の途絶えることも無いのです |
| 想像もできないのです。一体どれだけの人に、どれほどの事が行われたのか |
| …あの、接ぎの所業でさえも、こんなことにはならないでしょう |
| …近付くべきではないと、思います |
| たとえ貴方のような、強い人であっても |

| …以前お話しした、呪いを恐れる霊たちの声が、聞こえなくなりました |
| 糞喰い様が、円卓を出て行かれたのでしょうか？ |
| 悪いことが起こらないと、よいのですが… |
| "Please take care" (after Dung Eater returns to Roundtable Hold) |
| …気を付けてください、貴方 |
| あの人が、糞食い様が、またやってきたようです |
| 聞こえるのです。呪いを恐れ、嘆き、泣き叫ぶ霊たちの声が |
| そして、一層ひどく響くのです。おぞましい狂った呪詛が |
| …でも、ずっと聞いていると、感じるのです |
| あの呪詛もまた、揺るがぬ律であるのだと |
| "About the spirit's voices" (after Dung Eater leaves Roundtable Hold once again) |
| …呪いを恐れる霊たちの声が、また聞こえなくなりました |
| けれど今度は、前回とは違います |
| きっと霊たちは、囚われを逃れたのだと、そう思います |
| もしかして、貴方がそうしてくれたのでしょうか |
| After burning the Erdtree |
| …見てください。円卓は焼け、壊れていきます |
| 二本指は狂い、褪せ人の皆は、もう去ってしまいました |
| 残っているのは、私と、ヒューグ様だけです |
| …貴方を責めようとは思いません |
| 調霊のお仕事も、今まで通りいたします |
| だから、お願いです。ヒューグ様を説得してください |
| あの方は、円卓との繋がりが強すぎる |
| このままここに留まれば、円卓と共に壊れてしまうでしょう |
| …虜囚の鎖も壊れ、ヒューグ様はもう自由なのです |
| 円卓を離れて欲しいのです |
| Generic greeting |
| 分かりました。調霊のお仕事ですね |
| "About Hewg" (after trying to persuade him to leave) |
| …そうですか |
| 貴方の言葉でも、ヒューグ様は頑なでしたか |
| ありがとうございました |
| また、私の方からも話してみます |
| …神を殺す武器を |
| ヒューグ様の願うそれは、私には、呪いのように思えます |
| 女王マリカの、恐ろしい呪い |
| であれば、私たちは、なにもできないのでしょうか |
| "What happened with Hewg" (after defeating Maliketh and talking to Hewg) |
| …ああ、やはり私だけではなかったのですね |
| 貴方のことも忘れてしまうなんて |
| やはりヒューグ様は、壊れてしまった… |
| 今なら、円卓を離れるよう説得できるかもしれませんが… |
| それはもう、やめておきましょう |
| これが、ヒューグ様の選択なのですから |
| If talked to again |
| …私は、ヒューグ様と共にいます |
| ヒューグ様は、私に生きる意味を下さいました |
| だから今度は私が、ほんの少しでも、彼の助けになりたいのです |
| If talked to again |
| 貴方は、どうか、エルデの王におなりください |
| ヒューグ様は、ずっと仰っていました。貴方こそが、自分の王なのだと |
| そして、ヒューグ様の武器で、殺してください |
| 神を。私たちを呪う、女王マリカを |
| If attacked |
| 私を、蛹にしてくださるのですか？ |
| ああ、けれど、私は臆病な卑怯者 |
| この護りの、外に出る勇気がないのです |
| だからどうか、おやめください |
| 貴方の気持ちは分かりました |
| でも今はまだ、おやめください |
| それとも、貴方も恐ろしくてたまらないのですか？ |
| だからそのように、狂うのですか？ |
| お願いです。やめてください |
| そんなことをしても、貴方の恐れはなくなりません |
Notes[]
- After becoming a Spirit Tuner, Roderika will no longer wear her hood. The Crimson Hood will be in Stormveil Castle, on top of the pile of corpses where the Chrysalids' Memento was.
- The Crimson Hood's description suggests that Roderika was royalty in her native land, sent to Lands Between without specific orders to get rid of her.
Trivia[]
- In an early version of Elden Ring, Smithing Master Hewg was located in the Stormhill Shack (then Scavenger's Shack).[11]
- Roderika has cut dialogue.[12][13][14][15]
