Now, you're probably asking yourself if Boc's storyline is worth all this effort. The answer is contingent on what you'd like to get from Elden Ring. Regarding benefits, I'd say no because everything Boc can provide for Elden Ring Runes you (i.e. alter your clothes) you already can do yourself at the Sites of Grace checkpoints after finding the requisite key items. However, if you're seeking a traditionally heartbreaking Souls story, look no further than this bizarre dude.

Boc is described as an unusual case. It's a demon-human, a species of ape-like, typically violent creatures that have likely been killed in thousands before finding him, but one that is able to think and talk like a human. If you come across Boc, he's recently been removed from a demi-human den located on the shores of Limgrave, and is willing to go back to the den to secure you a reward to help reclaim him from being a shrub. The situation isn't going so well for him. However, when you go in to challenge the boss, you'll be able to find his personal sewing kit. Bring it back to Boc and he'll become your personal seamster, customizing your wardrobe at no cost.

What follows is a sad story of Boc's struggles to accept his appearance and the various ways you can aid him in coming to terms with his situation in life, either for the better or worse. Let me show you these options for yourself, remember that beauty is in the eye of the viewer.

It's been said before, but I'll say it once more: Elden Ring is massive. It's unlikely that anyone will uncover all the secrets of the game in just one session. Even if you've reached the triple digits during your time, I encourage you to jump back in and see what else there is to discover, especially as the devs continue to add on cheap Elden Ring Runes to the game and make changes to existing content.
