Elden Ring expert shows us super exciting NPC quest that didn’t make it into the game
In this quest we would have met an NPC who would have traveled with us in an unusual way.
Elden Ring certainly has no shortage of intriguing mysteries. Still, for a quest YouTuber Vaatividya shows off in a new video, it’s a shame it didn’t make it into the game. Not only does the mission feature quite an interesting interaction with an NPC, but it also references many players’ favorite Ghost Ashes.
Absorb NPC in quest
It’s all about this: Lore expert Vaatividya’s latest video is dedicated to 10 cut content secrets from Elden Ring. Below that is the quest line of a Silver Tears NPC that is no longer found in the final game. You know: Silver Tears are the creatures that can imitate the shape of others. But unlike the Silver Tears we fight as adversaries, this specimen speaks – and it has an amazing request.
Absorb NPC: At first, as we see in Vaati’s reconstruction, the teardrop only asks us not to kill it. However, she then invites the player character to absorb her. She promises to help the character gain strength. It is particularly exciting that Melina reacts to the new presence in a dialogue.
What Melina has to say: She first asks if there is another person in Vaati’s character. She greets that person by saying, “Hello, different you.” She also tells the character to act as he sees fit in this matter and states that she feels no malice.
In the third section of the video you can get an impression of the quest for yourself:

The dark side of the quest
So the beginning of the questline seems almost harmonious. But that changes at a certain point. The tear that lives in the character tells him in Nokron to find two goblets and drink from them to “rejuvenate their flesh”.
That would have resulted in us meeting the tear – with our form – and fighting it. The battle is still in the game, but not connected to an NPC quest. Vaatividya also speculates that we originally received the Mimic Tear Ashes for winning this battle. She would not only be a strong helper, but would have had her own story.
That’s why it’s such a shame that the mission didn’t end up in the game – at least for the time being. In the case of the vessel child, for example, we have already seen that an NPC quest was subsequently integrated into the action RPG through a patch.

Elden Ring vs Dark Souls – Why is the new game so much more successful?
By the way, Vaatividya himself explains in his video that the mission was not completely reconstructed, but he only recreated it himself with the available information. The lore expert is not a modder himself. It also points out which community members found the edited content. Nonetheless, we get a good sense of what to expect from the Silver Tears quest.
Would you have liked to see this quest in game or do you think it’s superfluous?
