Sage Gowry is a merchant NPC in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
Gowry is an elderly sage dwelling in the blighted Caelid Wilds. When the Empyrean Malenia unleashed the Scarlet Rot during her battle with General Radahn, she permanently blighted Caelid. Since that day, Gowry has dedicated himself to her and the Order of Rot he hopes she will usher in.[1]
Gowry found Millicent and her sisters in the Swamp of Aeonia and raised them as his daughters.[2] Seeing them as buds[3], he sent each of Millicent's sisters to the Haligtree in the hopes that they would bloom into scarlet valkyries.[4][5]
Millicent became consumed by the Scarlet Rot, and was housed in a church, where she was worshipped by the Pests[6]. Gowry sought the aid of a Tarnished, offering to reveal to them the secret of the magical town of Sellia in exchange for their aid.[7] Gowry bids the Tarnished to journey deep into the Swamp of Aeonia to retrieve a needle of unalloyed gold, which could stem the effects of the Scarlet Rot. After the Tarnished retrieves the needle, Gowry shares the secret of the town, and asks them for another favor; to find Millicent and give her the needle.
Gowry avoids Millicent when she comes to visit his shack, later telling the Tarnished that she has no need of him anymore, and must embark on her fated journey. The Tarnished may aid Millicent on her journey, even giving her a prosthetic arm. Doing so will earn them Gowry's good will, who will offer to teach them a rot incantation, and reveal to them his allegiance to Malenia.[8]
As Millicent travels to the Haligtree, where Malenia awaits, she draws ever closer to her "sisters", who made the same journey as her. Gowry bids the Tarnished to aid the sisters in murdering Millicent, believing that a betrayal by someone she trusts so dearly will cause her to blossom into a flower[9], which will be reborn as a scarlet valkyrie when Malenia ascends to godhood.
Should the Tarnished kill Millicent, they will return to Gowry's shack to find him seemingly dead. Should they instead aid Millicent against her sisters, she will prevail, but will remove the golden needle, willfully allowing herself to succumb to the Scarlet Rot.[10] The Tarnished may then find Gowry lamenting Millicent's decision, questioning whether she and Malenia detests him and the other children of rot so utterly.[11]
If the Tarnished attempts to kill Gowry, his body will transform into that of a Kindred of Rot. Upon returning to his shack, he will once again resume his human form, revealing that he can inhabit other pests to avoid death.[12]

| Introduction |
|---|
| Oh, a pleasure to see you, a pleasure indeed. |
| I am Gowry. A great sage, in my day, anyway. |
| I'd hoped to ask a favour, when one of your ilk came along. |
| A strapping young Tarnished, able to cross the scarlet swamp of Aeonia. |
| Don't fret, I'll provide fine recompense. |
| Should you accept… |
| I will teach you the secret of Sellia, the town you see there. |
| "Refuse" |
| Ah, my apologies. I rather got ahead of myself, didn't I. |
| Well, no matter. I'm accustomed to waiting. |
| But if you should decide to hear my offer, whenever that may be, |
| do come and speak with me again. |
| I'll wait as long as it takes. |
| If talked to again after selecting "Refuse" |
| Ah, changed your mind, have you? |
| If you are willing to undertake my request, |
| I'll gladly share with you the secret of Sellia, the town yonder. |
| "Hear the request" |
| Ah, then you're willing to lend a hand, are you? |
| I need your help to heal a certain young girl. |
| Her name is Millicent. You will find her beyond Sellia, |
| resting at the church atop the cliff, stricken by the rotting sickness. |
| If talked to again after hearing his request |
| The rotting sickness that afflicts Millicent has no cure. |
| When the Erdtree flourished, even the demigods could not stave off its effects, despite their nigh godhood. |
| But Millicent's suffering can be ameliorated. |
| For this, you are to find a certain needle. |
| Seek the deep scarlet swamp of Aeonia, outside Sellia's bounds. |
| The needle, made from unalloyed gold, is lost somewhere there. |
| If talked to again |
| First, you must find the unalloyed gold needle. |
| It's hidden somewhere in the deep scarlet swamp of Aeonia. |
| Then I will tell you, as promised. |
| The secret of the town of Sellia. |
| After finding the Unalloyed Gold Needle |
| Ohh, you've found the unalloyed gold needle. |
| As promised, I've detailed the secret of Sellia right here. |
| Go on, it's yours. |
| Now, let me have a look at the needle. |
| Hmm. |
| Hmmmm. |
| Well, well, this is a marvel indeed. |
| The work of a true artisan…a meticulous, bold craftsman who grasps the essence of life. |
| Can you give me some time with this? |
| As well made as it is, it won't be much use snapped in half, will it. |
| If talked to again |
| Can you give me some time with this? |
| As well made as it is, it won't be much use snapped in half, will it. |
| After reloading the area |
| I have awaited your return. |
| The needle is repaired. Now it will forestall the rotting sickness, I'm sure. |
| Will you give it to the girl, Millicent? |
| I will reward you in kind. |
| Millicent rests at the church atop the cliff, beyond Sellia, the town yonder. |
| Tended to by the witless pests who worship her, or rather, her rotting sickness, as a god. |
| A wretched fate, indeed. The poor girl, she never wished for any of this. |
| If talked to again after receiving the repaired Needle |
| Do you find it peculiar? |
| That I would show such concern for the girl. |
| Well, I'm the one that found her. |
| A mere babe, in the swamp of Aeonia. |
| She is one of my dear daughters. |
| But the rotting sickness erodes one's memory. |
| I doubt that she remembers the first thing about me. |
| Oh, I must be getting old. I didn't always worry so much. |
| Ha ha ha... |
| If talked to again |
| Now, all you need do is deliver the needle to Millicent. |
| She's convalescing in the church atop the cliff just beyond Sellia. |
| Do so, and you shall receive handsome recompense, of course. |
| After giving Millicent the Unalloyed Gold Needle |
| Thank you kindly. |
| For giving the needle to Millicent. |
| Now she, too, can begin her journey. |
| And stare her fate straight in the eye. |
| You've been a saint, through and through. |
| As thanks, I vow to impart to you my knowledge |
| of the lost sorceries of the Sellians, descendants of the Eternal. |
| If talked to again |
| Please make certain that little Millicent goes unharmed. |
| Like her mother, she has the stuff to be a great warrior, |
| but commands only one arm, and is yet preciously young. |
| If Millicent visited Gowry's Shack |
| Oh, you noticed, did you? |
| Indeed, Millicent did visit this hovel of a home. |
| It seems the memories eaten away by the rotting sickness yet remain, but faintly. |
| However, she has no need of me, any more. |
| No, she must embark on her journey, and stare her fate in the eye. I mustn't impede. |
| As I've aged, I've found the best way to aid the young... |
| Is to be forgotten. |
| Generic greeting |
| Ah, welcome, welcome. How may I help? |
| Generic greeting |
| Do you...need me for something else? |
| "I gave Millicent the prosthesis" |
| So, you gave Millicent a golden arm replacement… |
| This is a wonderful development. |
| Thank you for your kindness. |
| Now Millicent may fully realise her true warrior's potential. |
| Like her beautiful mother. |
| "About Millicent" |
| The girl, Millicent. She is a bud. |
| Green and undeveloped, waiting to flower into magnificence. |
| What a wondrous day that will be. |
| In truth, before her, I'd never seen a bud of such superior quality. |
| She might very well outshine her sisters. |
| After purchasing Pest Threads |
| Do you have an interest in rot incantations? |
| Then you might like to learn something of the history... |
| of Malenia, goddess of scarlet rot. |
| "About Malenia" |
| Queen Marika and her King Consort Radagon were blessed with twin demigods, and Malenia was one of them. |
| She was born an Empyrean, carrying the scarlet rot. |
| An Empyrean...is no mere demigod. |
| In the age of the Elden Ring, and Queen Marika, |
| the precious Empyrean was born. A new god to forge a new Order. |
| Since Malenia fought Radahn, and the great scarlet flower blossomed in Aeonia, I have dedicated myself to her. |
| And to the resplendence of the Order of Rot. The cycle of decay and rebirth. |
| After speaking to Malenia at the Prayer Room Site of Grace in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree |
| Oh, Millicent. Finding herself, is she? |
| The words of a true innocent, the dear girl. |
| Well, perhaps this is just as it should be. |
| Little Millicent, following in the steps of her mother, no matter what. |
| This is their fate, after all. |
| Before choosing to aid or defeat Millicent |
| Oh, mm, I didn't notice you there. |
| Welcome. How may I help you? |
| My apologies though, you hardly needed to see me like that. |
| "Why are you crying" |
| Oh, it's just… |
| I realised that I'd soon be saying my goodbyes to Millicent, and… |
| My eyes began to well... |
| She is to meet them very soon. Her sisters. |
| And when she does, she'll be defeated, surely, and begin to flower. |
| "Become a flower?" |
| Which is why... |
| If you happen to be present for the girl's fight with her sisters, |
| I ask that you side with the sisters and kill Millicent. |
| It must be done by your hand; no other. |
| Millicent trusts you, rather deeply in fact. |
| Sever that trust. Nurtured by betrayal, her bud will flower most vividly. |
| When Malenia ascends to godhood, Millicent too shall be reborn. |
| As a scarlet valkyrie. |
| You can't tell me you don't wish to see it. |
| The superior bud that is Millicent, becoming the finest of flowers? |
| I beg of you, kill her. With your own two hands. |
| If talked to again |
| Thus, I have a request of the utmost import. |
| I beg you, kill Millicent. |
| Before the girl can meet her sisters. |
| There is no other way. It must be done by your hand alone. |
| You seem to have sown a seed in Millicent's heart. |
| Which will flower most vividly, should she be plucked by you. |
| Malenia will be a goddess. And once she is, Millicent will flower anew, as a scarlet valkyrie. |
| If talked to again after reloading the area |
| Welcome, welcome. How may I help you? |
| Oh how I have counted the days. Millicent shall soon meet her sisters. |
| Goodbye |
| When the time is ripe... |
| Do what you must to ensure Millicent dies. |
| If the player saved Millicent |
| Millicent, my daughter. |
| Why would you take out the needle? |
| You were so close. So very close. To becoming the fairest of all flowers. |
| Would you disown us too? As your Mother did? |
| We children of the scarlet rot? |
| If talked to again |
| Millicent... |
| Malenia... |
| Do you detest us, so utterly? |
| If the player killed Millicent prior to the end of her questline |
| O Millicent, my daughter... |
| Who would prune your sapling flesh? |
| Such...such cruel and vulgar violence... |
| If talked to again |
| Oh, Millicent... |
| My most promising little bud... |
| If attacked before the end of his questline |
| We shall meet again, you and I. |
| There are countless pests to choose from. |
| If attacked again |
| We shall meet again. |
| As many times as it takes. For you to understand. |
| Returning after killing him |
| Have you taken the lesson, now? |
| Killing me is but an exercise in futility. |
| All is well, provided you understand. |
| Let's just pretend it never happened, shall we? |
| Returning after killing him a second time |
| So, the lesson remains unlearned. |
| Perhaps you've taken one knock to the head too many. |
