Dialogue
Conversation 1
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.
Conversation 2
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.
Conversation 3
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.
Conversation 4
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...
Conversation 5
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.
Conversation 6
Wait, is that what I think it is?
You got it back for me? My sewing needle!
Conversation 7
<sob>
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.
Conversation 8
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.
Conversation 9
...
Conversation 10
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.
Conversation 11
Boc the seamster, at your service, Master.
Ready to make adjustments to your garments.
Conversation 12
Boc the seamster, at your service, m'lord.
Ready to make adjustments to your garments.
Conversation 13
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.
Conversation 14
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.
Conversation 15
No, and why would you...
Forgive me, for overstepping my bounds. I didn't mean it.
Conversation 16
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!
Conversation 17
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!
Conversation 18
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!
Conversation 19
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.
Conversation 20
Master, 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.
I know it, I do. I feel it in my bones.
Conversation 21
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, m'lord.
I know it, I do. I feel it in my bones.
O please, take the throne of Elden Lord.
Conversation 22
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 kind master let me hear her voice.
Please, if I may dream, just once...
Do you feel the same way my mum did, master?
Do you think I'm beautiful, despite these looks?
Conversation 23
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, m'lord?
Do you think I'm beautiful, despite these looks?
Conversation 24
<sob>
Master, kind master...
I, Boc the seamster, am forever in your service.
Conversation 25
<sob>
M'lord, my dear lord...
I, Boc the seamster, am forever in your service.
May the throne of Elden Lord be yours.
Conversation 26
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.
Conversation 27
Master... 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.
Conversation 28
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.
Conversation 29
Master, 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, how did you know?
Conversation 30
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...
M'lord, how did you know?
It was my only wish, that I might honour you with a decent appearance.
Conversation 31
Master, it shouldn't take me long.
I'm off to see Rennala of Raya Lucaria.
I'll be reborn, fresh and new.
Conversation 32
M'lord, it shouldn't take me long.
I'm off to see Rennala of Raya Lucaria.
I'll be reborn, fresh and new.
Conversation 33
Master.
In all honesty, what do you think of me?
Am I fit to serve you, master, 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.
Conversation 34
M'lord.
In all honesty, what do you think of me?
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.
Conversation 35
Oh, going so soon?
Please, do be safe on your journeys.
Conversation 36
Going already, m'lord?
Please, do be safe on your journeys.
Notes
Boc the Seamster can be found in multiple locations:
Boc the Seamster is first encountered east of the telescope that is south of Agheel Lake NorthGrace Site of Grace in LimgraveRegion. He is disguised as a small tree and will call out to you upon approaching. [Map Link]
After meeting him the first time, Boc will move to the Coastal CaveGrace in western LimgraveRegion. You will find him on the ground right next to the Site of Grace. [Map Link]
After giving Boc the Seamster the Sewing Needle at this second location, he will be able to appear at the following remaining four locations, depending on furthest Site of Grace that the player has rested at. Resting at any of the Site of Graces listed below will make him appear there, in ascending order.
At all the following locations, he will now offer his service of altering garments.
At all the following locations except Lake-Facing CliffsGrace, Boc can be given the Gold Sewing Needle, if you're carrying alterable boss armor (e.g. Radahn's Lion Armor, Lord of Blood's Robe).
He can be found kneeling by the Lake-Facing CliffsGrace Site of Grace, north of Stormveil CastleDungeon in Liurnia of the LakesRegion. You have to rest at the Lake-Facing CliffsGrace Site of Grace for him to appear. [Map Link]
He can be found kneeling by the East Raya Lucaria GateGrace Site of Grace (southwest most point of the Bellum Road). You have to rest at the East Raya Lucaria GateGrace Site of Grace for him to appear. Map Link
He can be found kneeling by the Altus Highway JunctionGrace Site of Grace in Altus PlateauGrace. You have to rest at the Altus Highway JunctionGrace Site of Grace for him to appear. [Map Link]
He can be found kneeling by the East Capital RampartGrace Site of Grace in LeyndellRegion Royal Capital. You have to rest at the East Capital RampartGrace Site of Grace for him to appear. Map Link
The questline now branches in one of three ways. You can either:
Give him a Larval Tear, and upon resting, he will move next to Rennala. He will not respond when talked to. If you rest again, the questline will end.
Perform the "You're Beautiful" Prattling Pate in front of him, then discuss it.
Do neither of the options above. This will move him right outside of Raya Lucaria Grand LibraryGrace, ending the questline.
After choosing the "You're Beautiful" branch, telling him he's beautiful when he asks and making progress in LeyndellRegion, Boc relocates to the East Capital RampartGrace Site of Grace.
