How To Find And Use The Gold Sewing Needle
Not to be confused with the unalloyed gold pin in Millicent’s quest, elden ring‘s Golden Sewing Needle sounds similar, but does something completely different (and is a lot easier to get). It is an especially useful item for players who use legendary boss armor. It also requires doing at least some of these Boc the seamsters search.
Getting the needle is actually the easiest part as it only takes one trip to the needle Church of the Vows. Usage is a whole other matter since Elden Rings Legendary boss armor requires defeating legendary bosses such as Lord of Blood, Radahn, and Malenia. This is also important to know Only certain pieces of legendary boss armor can be used with the golden sewing needle.
How to get the needle
The golden sewing needle is in a chest at the altar in the Church of the Vows. The church is on the east side of Liurnia of the Lakes. You can find it by either following the road in East Liurnia or taking a Waygate in Raya Lucaria Academy. The Church of Vows is worth a visit not only for the needle, but also to meet fan-favorite turtle NPC Miriel.
In the Church, players can also obtain golden tailoring tools and equipment such as Blessing’s Boon and the Carian Greatsword. Once the needle has been obtained from the chest, it’s time to use it.
How to use the needle
The needle is to be given to Boc the Seamster, but only after he has completed the beginning of his quest line. To meet Boc for the first time, head south of the Site of Grace in Agheel Lake North. He will be a small tree but can be found by following his cries for help. After speaking to him, he will move to the Coastal Cave, which is located in West Limgrave. In the cave, the tainted can get his sewing needle. Give it to Boc and he will work as a closer for the Tainted.
Then Boc can be found in these four Places of Grace after resting:
- The cliffs to the lake
- East Raya Lucaria Gate
- Interchange Altus
- The eastern main wall
With Boc in these locations, he can be given the golden sewing needle. However, The Tainted must wear changeable demigod clothing along with possession of the needle. These demigod armors are unlocked for purchase after defeating their demigod. The tarnished can Buy these at the round table Keep away from the finger reader.
The demigod clothes that can be changed are:
- Radahn’s lion armor
- Robe of the Lord of Blood
- Malenia’s armor
