Now, you're probably asking yourself if Boc's storyline is worth all this trouble. The answer to that question will depend on what you're hoping to get from Elden Ring. Regarding rewards, I'd say not, because everything Boc can provide for Elden Ring Runes you (i.e. altering clothing) is already done yourself by going to The Sites of Grace checkpoints after gathering the necessary items. However, if you're seeking a traditionally devastating Souls narrative, well take a look at this bizarre dude.

Boc is described as an oddity. He's a demi-human--a species of typically vicious, ape-like creatures you've likely killed in droves before you find him--but one that thinks and behave like a human. If you come across Boc the demon, he's just removed from a demi-human's den, which is situated on Limgrave's shoreline. He's willing to return to the den in order to get you a reward for restoring him from shrubhood. It's not going well for him. However, should you attempt to take on the boss, you'll be able to find his personal sewing kit. Bring it back to Boc and he's now your personal seamstress, tailoring your wardrobe free of charge.

What follows is a heartbreaking story of Boc's struggles to accept his appearance and the various ways in which you can help him come to terms with his lot in life, for better or worse. I'll let you experience those choices for yourself, just remember that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

It's been said before, but let me say it again: Elden Ring is massive. The majority of players won't discover all the secrets it has to offer in just one session. If you've gotten to triple digits in your playtime I'd suggest that you go back and explore what else you can learn, particularly as developers continue to add content to the game and make changes to Elden Ring Runes buy existing content.
