FromSoftware's recurring character will win you over or kill you trying
Elden Ring: Full Patches Questline (Patch 1.04, Complete Guide) – All Choices, Endings, and Rewards
Patches are one of only a handful of common threads that developer FromSoftware has included in nearly every game since 2009's Demon's Souls. In Patch's Elden Ring mission, he's a huge presence, and unsurprisingly, he's up to his old tricks—yes, including pushing you down a big hole.
Here's how you first meet Patches, and his locations where you can find him throughout the game from there.
Meeting Patches is one of the first things you can do in the Fire Ring, if you're so inclined. You'll first encounter the wily villain in Murkwater Cave, which you can find by following the shallow stream from the north side of Agheel Lake.
