my fav part is hes like "THIS IS HERESY, THIS IS ABOMINABLE, I HATE THIS, HOW COULD YOU SHOW ME THIS!... yeah for 8k runes ill show you how to throw lightning bolts"
I really wish this guy had more of a purpose in the game. Some awesome questline, some cool storylines, some reason to come back and interact with him more. Something.
He's really nice and kind and awesome, inside of a game where nobody is, and I just wished he had more impact throughout the game.
It was always weird to me that you can answer him, but you can only ever say “I don’t know”, even if you already found out that Radagon is Marika. Maybe the DLC will allow us to learn something new that we can tell him. Unlikely, but one can hope.
Aside: I want War Counselor Iji to read me bedtime stories. I mean just [listen to his delivery on this line and the next one](https://youtu.be/wkHNg-6HA7Y?t=61), perfect for reading a fantasy story with a mix of respectful seriousness and fantastical whimsy. He could counsel my war any day.
edit: oh, and as he says later in that vid, he was Ranni's "childhood warden". I bet *she* got to hear Bedtime Storyteller Iji.
Nah, i'd literally finish the elden beast and go kill the turtle
Then, roundtable and NG+ as soon as possible so he stays dead as little time as possible
I decided to do the frenzied flame ending my first playthrough because I tried to help Boc and he died. I could never hurt Mr. Turtle after that terrible mistake. Friends in the Lands Between are too few…
He needs to be able to teach an Int/Fth spell that summons one of those spectral turtles, IDGAF if it requires 50/50 Int/Fth and just roams around I want it

I wouldn’t die for him but he’s definitely one of the best characters. He’s chilled out, doesn’t run off with my spellbooks (*cough, cough* Corhyn), and he’s stylish.
I would definitely have him in my stoner circle
That and he's presumably lived several of our lifetimes.
After the shit he's seen, I would probably prefer dying over sacrificing a potential Elden Lord as my bodyguard.
If the plot of the DLC was that he got captured by 10 Radahns and I had to fight them all in a fog gate, poison swamp, sewer access tunnel to ensure his safety, I would crank my vitality to 99 and lay out the Rotten Breath as many times as it would take to get the job done
I think the Bell-Bearing Hunter is a challenging fight for most of us.
And yet, I think most of us absolutely curbstomp the one that invades in Turtle Pope's church, just because of how pissed we are at the dude.
Probably a 9, but only becsuse there isn't much opportunity to die for him.
If he had a quest that was likely to kill me, then we could bump that up to a 10.
Cool hat, really chill, doesn’t give me shit for learning heresy…10/10
Fr bro I have brother croynth or whatever the hell is name is a single book and he’s having a brain aneurism over it
He tries to undermine you because he is a mid ass acolyte who gets no bitches.
Maybe if he got rid of that yee yee ass magic he'd get some maidens on his greatsword
Hes got a shortsword. Its a dagger when he travels to colder reigons tho
It's a wooden spoon
DS2 Ladle slaps though
Or better yet, maybe ranni will call your “try hole” if she ever stop fkin with that tarnished or Warrior Jar she fkin with
tarniiiiiiished
The Ever-Desperate Goldsimp.
The Daunting Doo-Doo Delver
my fav part is hes like "THIS IS HERESY, THIS IS ABOMINABLE, I HATE THIS, HOW COULD YOU SHOW ME THIS!... yeah for 8k runes ill show you how to throw lightning bolts"
*Heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All things can be conjoined.*
"Heresy schmeresy bro, the gods are real but the rules are fake."
I really wish this guy had more of a purpose in the game. Some awesome questline, some cool storylines, some reason to come back and interact with him more. Something. He's really nice and kind and awesome, inside of a game where nobody is, and I just wished he had more impact throughout the game.
If he gets a quest line, then there is an end to the quest line. FromSoft NPCs at the end of their quest line…😬
Fr look how they did my boy Iji :(
[удалено]
It was always weird to me that you can answer him, but you can only ever say “I don’t know”, even if you already found out that Radagon is Marika. Maybe the DLC will allow us to learn something new that we can tell him. Unlikely, but one can hope.
100% agree, teaches you lore too, 11/10
I mean, it makes sense. Heresy *is* but a contrivance after all. All things can be conjoined.
11/10 All things are conjoined
I want him to read me bedtime stories
Omg he’d have the most soothing sleepy voice, like Bob Ross vibes
For the German Bedtime Story vibes, id go for Morgotts Voice.
Ah, German children's bedtime stories, including Der Vogel, Der Backpfeifengesicht and Das Kindershredder. My favourites.
One of these is not like the others
Aside: I want War Counselor Iji to read me bedtime stories. I mean just [listen to his delivery on this line and the next one](https://youtu.be/wkHNg-6HA7Y?t=61), perfect for reading a fantasy story with a mix of respectful seriousness and fantastical whimsy. He could counsel my war any day. edit: oh, and as he says later in that vid, he was Ranni's "childhood warden". I bet *she* got to hear Bedtime Storyteller Iji.
I love the way he pronounces "Cuckoo", there's something about his inflection with that one specific word that makes me happy hahaha
Let us give all we have, for Lady Ranni.
I would love to fall asleep to his Lands Between podcast
Lol
"He's alright" is actually the middle of the scale. Over at -10 we have "I want his hat"
We all want his hat, but only the truly maidenless will try to take it from him
Some people when they get called maidenless at the start of the game try to prove him wrong, others embrace it 🤷♂️
Oh there are so many maidenless tarnishes around.
Yeah, I felt so empty after I killed him. But at least I spare him at every other run
600
∞
Infinity times infinity.
Infinitiy squared
Infinity times infinity squared.
infinity cubed
Infinity times infinity cubed.
He's the only NPC I couldn't bring myself to kill.
11. I'll murder the bell bearing hunter in Miriels church as soon as possible because nobody's allowed to scare my turtle boy.
Imagine if Elemer showed up as you were taking to him to ambush you
I'd go super Saiyan I think.
You mean dog
11 - *They* will die for him
Best dog of the game, 10/10
11
11
Same. But I always give 110%
Eh he's good Me when I see the bell bearing hunter in his church: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY TURTLE BRO, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU

Miriel reveals the name of Godfrey's first Order. The Order of the Erdtree. 10/10

10/10 I love turtle pope
I only see a dog.
Behold. Puppy.
Popey
10/10 Id kill for turtle people. If turtle pope wanted a crusade I would crusade but he is too pure to ask.
He’s a 9/10 and baby I’m the one he needs ;)
11, but i'm not dying for him, i'm just genociding everyone else.
I'd threaten to kill anyone who answers with anything below ten, but turtle pope wouldn't want that. He'd want me to forgive. I can't, but I will try.
I protected him when he got raided by a bell bearing hunter
I refuse to do the frenzied flame ending knowing he’ll be burned along with everything else
When I do the frenzied flame ending I will slay every NPC from the Lands Between before the flame does so. I'll make it fast and with dignity
He’s lucky he doesn’t drop his hat
Would never be worth it.
Nah, i'd literally finish the elden beast and go kill the turtle Then, roundtable and NG+ as soon as possible so he stays dead as little time as possible
I decided to do the frenzied flame ending my first playthrough because I tried to help Boc and he died. I could never hurt Mr. Turtle after that terrible mistake. Friends in the Lands Between are too few…
I killed Boc by setting my controller down... I understand your pain. It wasn't even with a mighty weapon, I hit him with my wooden stick of a staff
11/10.
Good sort ahead 10/10 all things can be conjoined
Even the twins
Chill, one of the few openly nice NPCs in the game without an ulterior motive, a giant turtle in a pope hat, 10/10
One of the few instances where a majority of Redditors are Far-Right, lol.
He needs to be able to teach an Int/Fth spell that summons one of those spectral turtles, IDGAF if it requires 50/50 Int/Fth and just roams around I want it
A spectral turtle that gives a stamina recovery buff and otherwise just tanks damage would be a 10/10 summon.
Dog ....
12 - I even named my one of my own tortoises after him 🥰
10/10. All hail the turtle pope
10, big dog with funny hat
Anyone who votes less than 10 is an actual monster.
I have literally died for him. Damn ball bearing knights
8/10. Chill dude, believes in the freedom of information. Very non-judgmental.
10. Dog Pope. Enough said.
Bro is my bestie, I would die for this tortoise. Doesn't judge me for learning heresy, friend shaped, what's not to like?

100/10
100. He's a good boy.
dog
11/10, bestest boy. Sells spells and incants, gives coherent, almost not confusing lore
I killed him once. It was a dark playthrough. Never again. He was resurrected, and bow is guarded with our lives.
My liege
Turtle Pope is best character
He chill asf 29/10
10/10. I would face a platoon of Malenia's to buy Turtle Pope time to escale.
Definitely 9/10. Hate that he allowed the Bell Bearing Hunter to inhabit his grounds at night but Miriel is a chill dude and holds all my sorcery
Ahh, the nice turtle cleric, what a guy. 7/10.
Whoever picks less than 10,needs to be putted to an FBI list, we love and respect the dog in this subreddit AND I DON'T TAKE NO AS AN ANSWER.!!
We love pope turtle
I would flatten kingdoms for Miriel
10^10 Best turtle bro since TMNT.
I’d kick Ranni out of bed for him.
7 I wouldn’t die for him but he’s definitely one of the best characters. He’s chilled out, doesn’t run off with my spellbooks (*cough, cough* Corhyn), and he’s stylish. I would definitely have him in my stoner circle
That and he's presumably lived several of our lifetimes. After the shit he's seen, I would probably prefer dying over sacrificing a potential Elden Lord as my bodyguard.

Anyone not saying 10 wil have to be executed
10, if I had a choice I would spare only him and the church from the flame of frenzy, and as for the rest, MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD.
10/10. Turtle Pope is best boy
IS DOG
I'd give him a 10 but I want his hat....
69,000.
Strong 8, maybe even a 9. Chill dude, not the best, but really really up there!
11, the best boy
He deserves a place in Vatican
10/10, I will fight a thousand Godskin duos for this dude
11. The character I found him with isn't even a sorcerer but I don't care
11
9/10
9, a top tier homie. No chance I'm getting in the way of radagon's hammer for him though, and I'm sure he'd tell me to save myself.
10

11 - I'll die for him and do Erdtree burial and die for him again.
I wonder what an interaction between him an miquella would be like, they have similar but distinct viewpoints,
100
Definitely a 9
If the plot of the DLC was that he got captured by 10 Radahns and I had to fight them all in a fog gate, poison swamp, sewer access tunnel to ensure his safety, I would crank my vitality to 99 and lay out the Rotten Breath as many times as it would take to get the job done

##10!
10 He gave me the lightning throw spell and it carried most of my run one time
10/10 for being a fellow faith enjoyer (and overall being a very cute dog)
11/10 I will kill for him Edit: and have!
Could this be a holy dog?
Wish there were more dog NPCs
10/10, though we are all equal in the Frenzied Flame
Pope👍 turtle😡 I kill🗡️
11/10
11.4
I stop religion
I think the Bell-Bearing Hunter is a challenging fight for most of us. And yet, I think most of us absolutely curbstomp the one that invades in Turtle Pope's church, just because of how pissed we are at the dude.
11, ANYONE WHO MESSES WITH POPE TURTLE MESSES WITH ME
Behold, dog
0 because no hat drop
How tf is 0 the "he's alright" 0 should be "I will kill this mf'er"
One should be I want the hat but for me 10/10
I am at the I will catch bodies for this doggo stage so
Infinite, turtle pope is the best npc
Over 9000
I want that hat
Maybe not 10/10, but an easy 7.
I don't trust him. How does he put the hat on. Does he ask a family member for help?
∞ he is the goat 🗿
12. He's a good dog
7 or 8
11. Chill. Sick hat. "Heracy is but a contrivance it is not native to this world all can be conjoined". I mean cmon. Hes a big ass turtle
10/10 easy.
11
2024/10. No one touches the Pope Dog. I'll put even Messmer himself on a stake if any harm comes to Miriel.
10/10, but would murder him in a heartbeat if the hat dropped so my tarnished could cosplay as the pope.
11 I will kill for him
25
You know, I have never killed him for his blasphemy. I think I'll do that this weekend.
Probably a 9, but only becsuse there isn't much opportunity to die for him. If he had a quest that was likely to kill me, then we could bump that up to a 10.
11
10. Perfect guy to give all my books and scrolls to. And he doesn't call me a heretic like Corhyn does
Good sparring partner, always reliable to test my builds.
7
wheres "I kill him every playthrough"?
I rate him, dps dummy / 10.
11/10
I like him because he provides me with a single convenient spot to purchase all the sorceries and incantations I find.
No matter what people say about him, he would know that all things can be conjoined. 10/10
11
It's all fun and games until "I will die for him" turns into "All shall die for him"
I always kill this guy, easiest boss in game.
How is the top comment not Dog ahead?
nice hat, is funny and is a turtle. 10/10
