by Of course our not-so-friendly friend Patches (although he’s called Patches now it seems) couldn’t be missing from Elden Ring , traditions can’t be lost… although now that I think about it, he didn’t appear in Sekiro, right? The closest thing would be Anayama… but hey, let’s get to today’s topic.
As there will always be salsa with Parches, it’s also a tradition, although in this case it’s going to be something different than usual… I don’t want to spoil it, so first I’ll explain it to you, giving you just enough to get to it and then later (I’ll let you know). We will go into the subject in depth. The only thing I will tell you, if you prefer not to spoil yourself, is that, as always, don’t kill him… and of course, if you make a mistake, bad luck, that’s what he has! It’s pretty intuitive what to do, but you never know.
Hey, to the mess.
PATCH LOCATION: AGUALÓBREGA CAVE
We will find Parches in the Cueva de Agualóbrega dungeon , in the photo above you can clearly see where he is. It is a cave that you can access from the river heading north from Agheel ‘s Pool . The location is not much of a mystery.
Going into the dungeon just be careful because there will be a bandit ambush and since we won’t give any spoilers at the outset, just know that Patches is there, so that’s enough for you.Ok, now THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. If you want to see what objects it gives us, jump to the next section.
Inside the cave, we will find a slightly hidden grotto in which there will be a chest (don’t get confused because in another path of the Cueva de Agualóbrega there is another chest exactly the same, if the event does not skip in one, it is the other path then ).
The fact is that when we find the chest that is, Patches will begin to speak to us and… he will fight against us! Do you remember the boss of Assassin of the Black Knives ? Well, maybe you haven’t, but he’s a super easy boss; Well, I would say that Patches is even easier than this, which is saying something.
When we lower his health a little, more or less 50%, he will chicken out (for a change) and will do what he always does, tell us to be friends and blablabla, damn Parches; although this time technically we were stealing from him? I think that chest belonged to him. After this, hit the dialogue “Hacer pelillos a la mar” or something like that and from here, nothing, you go back to the bonfire and when you talk to him again, things will come to us.
ITEMS YOU SELL TO US
I leave you the list of everything that sells us:
POULTRY LEG MACERATED IN GOLD
- Rune Cost: 600.
- Units for Sale: 3.
Object that when consumed will increase a little the runes that we obtain when defeating enemies.
FAN DAGGERS
- Rune Cost: 160.

Some knives that we can throw, without more. They have an S scaling for Dexterity and a B for Strength.
MARGIT’S SHACKLE
- Rune Cost: 5,000.
- Units for Sale: 1.
Object that will serve us against Margit since if we use it in her combat, we will stun her for a few moments (it gives you two hits and that). I would not do it because I consider that investing 5,000 runes is too much for what it is, but this is up to you.
IMITATION GRACE
- Rune Cost: 100.
- Units for Sale: 15.
Like thanks, it will mark a path that is supposed to be random. I don’t know if it has a real use, it seems to me a waste of runes.

It is literally garbage.

SACRIFICIAL ROD
- Rune Cost: 5,000.
- Units for Sale: 1.
Quite expensive object but quite interesting especially in the late game when we have tons of runes on us and we are afraid of losing them. Basically, when we die, instead of losing runes, we’ll lose this item. So you know, if you want to risk it a lot somewhere and you don’t want to lose souls, go for it. Anyway, it gives me a bad vibe, imagine that it fails.
