A Comprehensive Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>The elusive <strong>Flock&#8217;s Canvas Talisman<\/strong>, a coveted item for Faith-based builds in Elden Ring, is often the source of frustration for players attempting to acquire it from <strong>Sage Gowry<\/strong>. The primary reason Gowry isn&#8217;t dropping the talisman upon death is simple: <strong>you must complete Millicent&#8217;s questline to the point where Gowry is in a state of despair and ready to die.<\/strong> Killing him prematurely will only result in him respawning, preventing you from obtaining the talisman. Furthermore, if you choose to side with Millicent instead of betraying her, Gowry will not drop the talisman until after Millicent&#8217;s quest is complete.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Gowry_and_Millicent_Quest_Interplay\"><\/span>Understanding the Gowry and Millicent Quest Interplay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gowry&#8217;s fate is inextricably linked to <strong>Millicent&#8217;s questline<\/strong>. He is deeply invested in her journey and acts as both a guide and, arguably, a manipulator. His dialogue, actions, and even his eventual demise are all dictated by your choices in Millicent&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Initial Encounters:<\/strong> You first meet Gowry in his shack in Caelid, where he tasks you with finding Millicent and curing her of Scarlet Rot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Valkyrie&#8217;s Prosthesis:<\/strong> Progressing the quest requires obtaining the <strong>Valkyrie&#8217;s Prosthesis<\/strong> and giving it to Millicent. This allows you to purchase the <strong>Pest Threads<\/strong> incantation from Gowry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Choice:<\/strong> The crucial point is after defeating the <strong>Godskin Apostle<\/strong> in the Dominula, Windmill Village. You will find Millicent at the <strong>Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace<\/strong> in the Mountaintops of the Giants. After exhausting her dialogue, she moves towards the <strong>Haligtree<\/strong>. There you will have to choose between aiding Millicent or betraying her by invading her world near the Prayer Room Site of Grace in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Helping Millicent:<\/strong> Siding with Millicent involves defeating her four invading sisters, and then choosing to assist her, leading to her death with her purpose fulfilled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Betraying Millicent:<\/strong> Siding against Millicent results in her death as an invader, in which case Gowry will cry in his shack and ask you to kill her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gowry&#8217;s Despair and Death:<\/strong> Only after Millicent&#8217;s questline is fully resolved \u2013 either by assisting her or betraying her \u2013 and Gowry expresses his despair in his shack, will he drop the <strong>Flock&#8217;s Canvas Talisman<\/strong> upon being killed. If Millicent has achieved her wish and faded away you will find Gowry dead in his shack with the talisman on the floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Mistakes_and_Misconceptions\"><\/span>Common Mistakes and Misconceptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many players rush to kill Gowry without fully understanding the quest&#8217;s nuances. Here are some common mistakes that prevent the talisman from dropping:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Killing Gowry too early:<\/strong> As mentioned, killing him before completing Millicent&#8217;s questline will simply cause him to respawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Killing Millicent early:<\/strong> This might seem like a shortcut, but it disrupts the intended quest progression and prevents Gowry from reaching his final state.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not exhausting dialogue options:<\/strong> Ensure you exhaust all dialogue options with both Millicent and Gowry at each stage of the quest. This is crucial for triggering the next steps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Misinterpreting quest triggers:<\/strong> The quest progresses based on specific actions and dialogue choices, not just location or time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Why_cant_I_buy_Pest_Threads_from_Gowry\"><\/span>1. Why can&#8217;t I buy Pest Threads from Gowry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can only purchase <strong>Pest Threads<\/strong> from Gowry after giving Millicent the <strong>Valkyrie&#8217;s Prosthesis<\/strong>. Before that, he won&#8217;t offer the incantation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_At_what_point_can_you_safely_kill_Gowry_for_the_talisman\"><\/span>2. At what point can you safely kill Gowry for the talisman?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can kill Gowry to obtain the <strong>Flock&#8217;s Canvas Talisman<\/strong> only after Millicent&#8217;s questline is fully resolved and he is found crying or dead in his shack.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Where_is_Gowry_located_after_I_finish_a_certain_part_of_Millicents_quest\"><\/span>3. Where is Gowry located after I finish a certain part of Millicent&#8217;s quest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gowry remains in his shack in Caelid, located between the Sellia Gateway and Sellia, Town of Sorcery, throughout Millicent&#8217;s questline, always returning there after other interactions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_do_I_do_after_giving_Gowry_the_Unalloyed_Gold_Needle\"><\/span>4. What do I do after giving Gowry the Unalloyed Gold Needle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After giving Gowry the <strong>Unalloyed Gold Needle<\/strong>, fast travel to a nearby Site of Grace and return. Gowry will have &#8220;cured&#8221; the needle, returning it to you and providing a clue about treasure in Sellia.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_What_happens_if_I_kill_Gowry_prematurely\"><\/span>5. What happens if I kill Gowry prematurely?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Killing Gowry before he is ready to die due to the progression of Millicent&#8217;s quest will only cause him to respawn. You will not get the talisman, however you will still get the bell bearing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Do_I_need_to_kill_Malenia_to_complete_Millicents_quest\"><\/span>6. Do I need to kill Malenia to complete Millicent&#8217;s quest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you need to defeat <strong>Malenia<\/strong> to obtain the <strong>Unalloyed Gold Needle<\/strong> from the flower left behind in her arena, a critical item for Millicent&#8217;s questline.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Is_Millicent_related_to_Malenia\"><\/span>7. Is Millicent related to Malenia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The game heavily implies that Millicent is either a daughter, clone, or &#8220;offshoot&#8221; of <strong>Malenia<\/strong>, the Goddess of Rot. Gowry seems to confirm this, but the exact nature of their relationship remains somewhat ambiguous.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Is_Gowry_Millicents_father\"><\/span>8. Is Gowry Millicent&#8217;s father?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gowry found Millicent and her &#8220;sisters&#8221; in the Swamp of Aeonia and raised them. He sees them as buds, hoping they will bloom into scarlet valkyries. He acts as a father figure, but his true motives are more complex.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Is_Gowry_secretly_a_servant_of_the_Rot\"><\/span>9. Is Gowry secretly a servant of the Rot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While Gowry initially appears to be helping Millicent, his ultimate desire is for her to become a vessel for the <strong>Scarlet Rot<\/strong>. This suggests he might be a servant of the Outer God associated with the Rot.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Does_killing_Tanith_affect_Millicents_quest_or_Gowrys_talisman\"><\/span>10. Does killing Tanith affect Millicent&#8217;s quest or Gowry&#8217;s talisman?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, killing <strong>Tanith<\/strong> has no impact on Millicent&#8217;s questline or Gowry&#8217;s talisman. The two questlines are completely independent.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Does_Gowry_have_a_bell_bearing\"><\/span>11. Does Gowry have a bell bearing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, killing Gowry, after he is ready to die, will drop <strong>Gowry&#8217;s Bell Bearing<\/strong>. Offering this to the Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold unlocks his shop inventory.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Can_I_%E2%80%9Ccheese%E2%80%9D_the_Elden_Beast_fight_to_get_to_Malenia_quicker\"><\/span>12. Can I &#8220;cheese&#8221; the Elden Beast fight to get to Malenia quicker?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While strategies exist to simplify the <strong>Elden Beast<\/strong> fight (like using the Mimic Tear), they don&#8217;t directly impact or speed up Millicent&#8217;s quest. You still need to defeat Malenia legitimately to progress.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Where_does_Millicent_move_to_after_killing_her_sisters_in_the_Haligtree\"><\/span>13. Where does Millicent move to after killing her sisters in the Haligtree?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After killing Millicent&#8217;s sisters in the Haligtree, you will have to reload the area. Millicent will be there and can be summoned for a boss fight. After that Boss fight you will have to choose to betray or help Millicent.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Is_Millicents_quest_worth_completing\"><\/span>14. Is Millicent&#8217;s quest worth completing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Millicent&#8217;s quest is highly rewarding. It unlocks access to different endings. It gives you access to the <strong>Rotten Winged Sword Insignia<\/strong> talisman.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_How_do_I_learn_more_about_the_lore_surrounding_Elden_Rings_characters_and_quests\"><\/span>15. How do I learn more about the lore surrounding Elden Ring&#8217;s characters and quests?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Delving into the lore of Elden Ring is a fascinating experience. Resources like the <strong>Games Learning Society<\/strong> (<strong>GamesLearningSociety.org<\/strong>) offer insights into the game&#8217;s design and narrative, helping you appreciate the intricacies of characters like Gowry and Millicent. The <strong>Games Learning Society<\/strong> provides a platform for exploring the deeper meanings and connections within the game&#8217;s world.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, obtaining the <strong>Flock&#8217;s Canvas Talisman<\/strong> from Gowry is a matter of patience and diligent quest progression. By understanding the nuances of Millicent&#8217;s questline and avoiding common mistakes, you can ensure that Gowry finally drops the coveted talisman upon his demise.
