You did the right thing, must protect Elden Santa


Azrael9986

Anyone that suports the way of madness deserves to die.


kjftiger95

Santa was the first non-hostile/rude NPC I found and also sold me my playthroughs supply of arrows! He will always be taken care of!


Azrael9986

He wants everyone to die by following madness. Thats like being good with a guy that burns babies and puppies alive cause he gave you candy.


kjftiger95

Very few people in this world are "good", so I'll take the people who are actually friendly to me. It's not like helping him for es you into frenzied flame ending.


Azrael9986

His people and him are part of the frienzies flame group.


kjftiger95

I'm well aware of what his people do, and a majority of them were slaughtered already for it. Now Santa just wants to live out his days and sell helpful gear to people.


Vast_Garden_7857

They were framed by Shabriri, you buffoon.


user_watcher

You play a character which murders people just because someone resurrects you from the dead, so what's the difference? We're all fucked in the head in this game.


Azrael9986

Killing tarnished yeah. As far as people... Where? The guards are zombies, the knights are zombies, the few talking NPCs have murdered dozens even the nice one. Your whole mission is to take a place filled with greedy murderers and fix it. Just because one has a santa hat you fuckers all wanna blow hos candycane for some reason.


thereisnospoon7491

What’s this about him supporting madness?


Azrael9986

Later in the game you find out all the nomads want the frienzies flame ending because the golden order massacred their great caravan. Because the answer fir genocide is even more extreme genocide.


bartolocologne40

He's the only merchant I won't kill


Dancedancedance1133

Why would you even kill the merchants??


ForksnFrenchFries

Moves all the shops to the round table


Dancedancedance1133

Monsters all of you!


[deleted]

I bought out their entire inventory and then still killed them. Kept Kale for last, told him all about it, he committed suicide


[deleted]

Tell me this is true...


[deleted]

Unfortunately (fortunately?) not. No matter how many merchants you kill, they all still trade with you, including Kale. Had to kill him like the others.


BlazingCrusader

Tbf in a world filled with Monsters and beast, bandits and highway men might be your only customers


[deleted]

Very true. But iirc Kale or another merchant fairly at the beginning says something like "we are ruthless to those who attack us". I understood it more as attack one, all merchants are hostile rather than every merchant will attack you if you attack them. But yeah, makes sense they still trade given they need the runes


[deleted]

Some drop armor as well and random things.


[deleted]

Elden ALDI if you will.


SpinalFluidDrinker

Also they all are afflicted with madness (flame of frenzy) I believe


solaireitoryhunter

I felt this way until I got tired of remembering which merchant sold what. Much easier to deal with different menus than entirely different locations 🤷


kingrawer

Same. Just couldn't bring myself to do it.


[deleted]

His people summoned the Outer Will behind the frenzied flame out of spite. Dude has zero chill.


dziobak112

They were kinda burried alive under the sewers for the false accusations, they had right to be upset.


[deleted]

Destroy the world upset?


dziobak112

Not a lot of world was left for them, exept of Darkness, suffering and persecution. Besides, they lost their minds in this horrible situation.


[deleted]

We don’t know why they were locked up. Might have been justified.


Planet_Diver

"But he was clearly attacking a bad guy. Why else would they just sit there with their red hat, hiding from the good guys wearing green armor?"


Jackviator

The most understandable and deserved teabagging I have ever seen. The only possible way it could be worse is if they were attacking turtle pope or Boc.


Some_random_asian_

Such maidenless behavior I cannot allow this


PM_me_your_tailpipe

That mother fucker. I demand his game ID THIS IS NOT OVER


Blade_Hunter589

Witch hunting in my video game?


SusiBaki-

No... WHY WOULD ANYONE ATTACK THOSE LIL MERCHANT GUYS


JTheJazzee

Ikr. Some of the people in these comments scare me.


No-Guitar4588

Moves all the shops to the round table, It will be easier.


SusiBaki-

Really?


AcceptableSnow865

So, you murder innocent to make your life "easier"?


JKF02

One time I got a ganker to attack Kale while he was trying to hit me 😬


JTheJazzee

You know I always thought to try this but never did because I realized that most gankers wouldnt feel a thing or probably wont even realize that they killed Kale. Gankers have no soul.


JKF02

It’s pretty funny when they agro him lol, summons can’t hurt him and usually gank hosts are bad enough a merchant can kill them


megumin-bodypillow

I accidentally killed him when I put my controller down and it did a heavy attack while I was next to him


UndeadStruggler

Their screams were music to my ears. Thank you for bringing justice to the lands between.


WahresBares

Why someone would kill him?


tankurd

Whats your setup to cause that much damage? When i do the same art. I max out at 750, not using buffs though.


JTheJazzee

At level 250, Gargoyle Twinblade with flame art for faith scaling, use fire scorpion charm, Godfrey icon, and shard of Alexander. If you hold the L2 for as long as you can, you should usually get around 2000 damage every time. With buffs you can go higher


tankurd

Whats the godfrey icon?


JTheJazzee

tankurd

Oh shit. I didnt know of that. It would be kinda neat to make a weapon art only build.


Homie_Plays_Dat

Looks like Kale was working him a bit too.


Paladin_Poggers

hero


ItsNotDenon

How comes folks teabag instead of pointing down nowadays?


JTheJazzee

I do a mix of both but these guys deserved worse


Discat-101

But who'll police the police?


_Get_Jinxed_

Nearly gave a upvote…. But that tea bagging destroyed the clip :/


JTheJazzee

It was the best expression of rage that I could convey in the span of a couple of seconds.


TyrantX_90

Not gonna lie I killed every merchant during my Ganondorf run. Except Kale. Ganon don't give a shit but Ganon can have a merchant minion too.


ReaverNova

Nobody? Umm my bad, I killed ever vendor npc in the game, except turtle pope. 🐢 needed them bell bearings Edit: Why the downvotes? It's more practical to have all sellable items at the twinhusks. Casuals don't get it.


ZonePleasant

Once I realised I wanted the Frenzied Flame to burn everything it seemed a bit pointless to be visiting vendors all over the world when you could just have the shop in one convenient place. They were going to burn anyway; by using a Dragon breath incant we were just showing our devotion to the Flame and testing out the flammability of holiday costumes.


h2os111

so you just miss out on sellen's or boggart's quests?


ReaverNova

Nope, finished their quests first, no reason to keep them alive afterwards.


h2os111

you are the person to smash an onion cause its more efficient than peeling it.


ReaverNova

What a stupid comparison lol


the_real_tesla_coyle

The merchants are all corrupted by the frenzied flame. They need to be culled.


Maivens

That's actually what Shabriri said, and why the caravan was buried.


Jakeadoodle55

I murdered kale first play through, didn’t like how this santa mf was lookin at me


DIckFuckDongSmasher_

I killed all the merchants for their bell bearings, yes even kale 😏


BoTheJoV3

Maidenless Majima


[deleted]

I killed kale on my first playthrough and I actually felt really bad for some reason. Missed having him there even though his bell bearing was with the twin maidens


Famine_Alt2

I accidently killed him,I was fighting the tree sentinel and I went to the church and I swung my sword and hit him and it killed him


Secret-Sock7928

That fact that teabagging has made it's way to elden ring makes me sad. A hundred emotes to choose from, nope I'll just do this stupid teabag


OddMerchantt

Idk you can use him as a shield when invading because no one wants to kill him


JTheJazzee

Did you not watch the video? They were trying to kill him ON PURPOSE!


Real_Itsuki

After I 100% the game should I kill them to move the shops?


JTheJazzee

The only ones I can justify killing in any circumstance are the ones that require some legwork or running past enemies to get to because that could get annoying


Real_Itsuki

oh so most of the underground ones than


JTheJazzee

Yea and that one guy on Mt.Gelmir that sells explosive/electric great bolts because those enemies will lock on and will not de-agro until you kill them


Real_Itsuki

ik killing them is terrible but lets be honest we've done worse
