Dung Eater's VA is lowkey goated. Guy was able to take a line as stupid as "I AM THE DUNG EATER, A SCOURGE UPON THE LIVING" and make it sound threatening as all hell
You missed a small part in his questline. If you go talk to a guy with an iron mask in Academy City who cooks shrimp there, eventually you will find him at the outer moat. He will warn you about Dung Eater and give you some extra context and offer you some of his lobsters (he's a bro). Apparently he used to be a prison mate with Dung Eater and was completely terrified of him, if you reload the area you find him near death, suffering from whatever Dung Eater did to him and after you exhaust his dialogue he dies, at the same moment, the invasion will begin.
Lol that guy who cooks shrimps🤣. I instantly killed him on my first run because: 1) He stole girl's medallion and she asked me to bring it back. 2) He refused to return it, instead he commanded me to pay him in advance. 3) And on top of that, he called me a stupid pig. Sorry, but I couldn't forgive all of this so I made him bleed and suffer and then sent him to hell where he belongs.
@@hideous_taco_michael_zacki i did the same thing, except dung eater invaded at the moat then immediately returned to his world, currently going back to see if he’ll return, i already broke the bloody finger quest cause i killed the fire giant

When you go into the sewer of the golden capital looking for the body of dung man, take a wrong turn and end up inheriting the frenzied flame. Mannnn I'm in the wrong neighbourhood.
@@xavierescano4559 Only if you use the mending rune of curse. There’s 3 main endings you can have. -Become Elden Lord -Ranni’s quest -Frenzied Flame Elden Lord has 4 variants though. But I’m pretty sure they don’t have their own unique achievements. It’s just “become Elden Lord”. So you technically don’t have to do Dung Eater’s ending ever.
It sounds like he was once punished for heretical magic and blessing of despair since he had a warped view about a curses and blessings. People may interpret him as a simpleton yet Insane figure or some weirdo dresses as a preacher. His punishment is accepting the insulting name, The Eponymous Loathsome Dung Eater. Though it is ambiguous how did he got His insulting Name, nor who is his Actual Name.
At the point where you can give him the seedbed curses, you can choose to force feed him Seluvis' potion instead to make him your own summonable poopet
@@slumpofficial2866 From Seluvis, you have to progress to the location called three sisters, where you meet Ranni.

After you gave it to Dung Eater return but search the nearby ruins for a hidden room with the puppets and then talk to Seluvis. He sells you puppets at this point for star shards, proceed with his bidding a bit until you can buy Dung Eater's puppet from him.
I did this just to spite the dung eater and protect shrimp bro on my ng+ playthrough. I outright murdered him in the sewers on the first playthrough. 😈
@@timegate80 nah you just need to visit siofra river and talk to blaidd there to get to the point where he tells you tot alk to seluvis. Then keep talking to seluvis until he gives you a potion to drug nepheli with. Instead of using the potion tho, you keep it and speedrun your way into leyndell and find a seedbeg curse to show the dung eater at roundtable hold. The schmuck will then give you a key to free his body at the sewers. Find it, tell him to leave, then kick his ass at the moat outside leyndell when he invades you there(you might have to trigger his invasion by interacting with the message he left at roundtable hold first). After that go back to riundtable and talk to his spirit again and he'll tell you to *defile his body* at the sewers again. Go bavk there and you should be able to drug him this time. Edit : after drugging him, look for seluvis's secret puppet storage room at the three sisters. The entrance is a hidden stairway guarded by a noble sorceror whose invisible until you are near him. I and some other players left some messages right on top of the entrance so if you're having trouble looking, just scan the ground for a suspicious cluster of player messages. Give it a nice smack to reveal the entrance then look around the storage room(and smack the illusory wall near seluvis's message at the back too to reveal the dungeater puppet) before tealking to seluvis about hsi hobby and he'll sell you the puppet Ps : you can save big boggart by not interacting with him at all until after you drug the dung eater. However if you did talk to him and buy his shrimp before this, he's basically toast cause he'll move to the moat and get killed by the dung eater :'( . Interacting with him after the dung eater has been taken care of however is still possible. And he'll still sell you boiled shrimp and crab :).
Let me explain this ending real quick: Indirectly enough, there's a paradox there with the guy who sells crustaceans; Most crustaceans species are, in fact, dung eaters; The Dung Eater's role on the golden order was to "cleanse" the lands between, that's why originally he would kill only certain nobles and that's why the original curse seeds are on noble bodies, without these crustaceans the golden order wouldn't be possible. At some point, he developed this into uncontrolled cannibalism(Not as in eating, but as in defiling corpses), which is the reason he was imprisoned; which may have been self-imposed (See how his guards developed this curse-horns too?) For he was out of control. Cannibalism is extremely common amongst crustaceans; There is a lot of unexplored lore around Omen Horns, which are held in his armor, cut, as he is not from royal birth; Initially, the Dung Eater had a very specific role, which developed into an uncontrollable will to spread his "curse" to others. "My fate was the grandest, greatest of them all!" He even says in his dialogue he was imposed this role, which he despised, and so, he wanted the same fate for all living beings. Effectively, when you corrupt the golden order, there is no curse anymore, since the curse is itself part of everything itself, that's why it is called the "Blessing of despair". Congratulations, you doomed us all. Psycho ending indeed.
@@zerohero5753 the Black Plague would be more like the scarlet rot, this guy is like trying to spread some aids that is inherited to everyone, this feels like an ultimate Nurgle-chaos warhammer thing
Alternatively if you just want his sword and armor you can just kill him when you first go to his cell. If you aren't trying to get the Dung Eater ending which means you don't need to do the whole querstline
Really disturbing implications with this questline. All of Dung Eater's victims have a pool of blood below them, running down from their legs, with a bloody loincloth draped over their groin area. His curse is called a "seedbed curse" (with 'seed' being a rather old traditional way to refer to sperm - GRRM even uses it for A Song Of Ice And Fire) which "gestates" inside its victims. Hence it's heavily implied that Dung Eater is rather violently raping and impregnating his victim's corpses with a curse and, in order to get his ending, you rape him in some way with the seedbed curses to allow the rune to gestate from the body. GRRM and the Fromsoft guys are really messed up lmao
there is another interpretation too, that also references Sekiro enemy and a yokai called a kappa. The flat head enemy’s grab attack would literally rip out Wolf’s soul from the bum and then stick it up it’s own bum. Which honestly sounds just as bad. (edit) Wait... what if he does both...
Seeing a pattern here. Every tarnished called out at the beginning of the game has their own “mending rune” it seems, minus Godfrey who was not a true tarnished. So that means Gideon probably has his own mending rune too?
*Knowledge begins with the recognition of one's ignorance. The realization that the search for knowledge is unending. But when Gideon glimpsed into the will of Queen Marika, he shuddered in fear.* *At the end that should not be.* It seems you have to go through a great trial for a tarnished to make their own mending rune-possibly only Tarnished can do this. You don't have one automatically, though. Gideon has no need of it, however, as his decision is simply to maintain the status quo. In that chain of events of the story of what we know now he's pretty much choosing the 'Queen Marika' ending by honoring her wishes-to leave the lands to rot and the ring shattered, rather than risk the Greater Will (or any of the other 'stars') coming back to power in any form through the restoration of the ring. I wouldn't be totally surprised if he hid the Mending Ring of Perfect Order (which might even have been his) which Goldmask finds.

This ending is so depraived, I had to give Seluvis's potion to The Dung Eater and then executed him while he struggled to come to terms with becoming my puppet. A fitting end for such a disgusting being.
Dung eater: drinks Seluvis’s potion and becomes a puppet The player character: then kills the dung eater The player character: you get what you fucking deserve!
This guy intrigues me so much I couldn't even wait to reach Altus Plateu and I decided to just look up the whole questline and lore! thank you so much for this video!
The reason why everyone wonders if he actually eats dung (shit) is because of how out of nowhere his title is. Gideon being called the "All Knowing" doesn't carry the same effect cause his title has more Majesty and is generally more positive he is just a smart man. I believe the out of nowhere presence of his title is meant to grab our attention.The "Dung Eater" is just a title he received from being a horrible person and a killer. Like all souls games there is multiple endings some "good "some "bad" and alternate choices. Much of the lore in souls games is meant to have our own take on it as well. Also to be relatable to some of us. What does it say about us if we go down this questline and choose to finish it by cursing the entire lands between when we become Elden Lord? Its just like he said "You are me...and i am The Dung Eater."
I think this is the better quest guide. I’m just recapping it for myself and the presentation fits. No talking, no ugly-bright settings, shown everything, fast forward when needed.
This man is by far, the most repugnant character in any souls game. Worse than Lautrec, Sulyvahn, or Gwynn. Everything from his armor, his voice, his sword, even his unmasked face, are all disgusting and vile. I don’t think there’s ever been an NPC in these games that was Honest about what they want, or their motives. This freak defiles corpses so that even if they return from the Erdtree, they remain forever cursed. The mending rune he gives you curses the world forever, and he just Loves the idea of that. It’s no wonder he was hanged, then locked away, then sent Back to the shunning grounds and tied up.
Dung Eater's dialogues about "a curse, for their and their children, and the children's children" reminds me of Bloodborne's Fishing Hamlet. Like the fisher curse the Hunters, and the next Hunters generations.
I was right before the final boss, so I'm pretty sure I missed one or 2 seedbeds and giving him 3 didn't really do anything, so I just killed him in his chair for the armor. However, I checked and I have a rune which has exactly the same description/use as the Mending Rune the Dung Eater would have given me, so it's weird.
I went to fight him but I ended up having to fight him AND the big ass crab, I died but when I died the crab felt bad to double teaming and killed dung eater.
I wonder what he means by "defile". He defiles his victims and wants to defile you. But I'm moreover curious as to *how* you defiled him in his cellar where he instructed you to defile him and begins with a blacked screen followed by him screaming. Makes me shiver, but curious and want to know nonetheless.
@Nayomnik If you scroll down, you'll notice how someone explains "Dung Rather" is symbolism... I'm not looking for the obvious, I'm looking for the design what, and why of this character. Clearly you don't understand the art in the souls series
I feel OK watching this cause I'm never ever going to side with Dung Eater on anything. The ending is kind of underwhelming though so I'm glad I didn't miss much.
I was following this video and I think I figured him out, possible spoilers below: The sword he dropped implies that he's a miniature giant and likely casted out. He then turned to humans of his size but instead of friendship, he found true hatred, being treated even worst . This hatred might share a connection with the mark on his right eye, which possibly shares a resemblance like the mark of frenzy on Melina's eye. This mark is meant to be seen by players from the hole on his mask below where his right eye should be. when one clips their camera through his helmet, by accident of course, one would see facial features and ear shape that heavily implies of him a separate species. I speculate him half-human and half-giant, for his hair is brownish red. like so others can see and accidentally clip their camera too.
8:55 can someone explain to me why people are taking this course to reach the imp statue? If you go the other direction from the grace you'll find a hallway that leads to an elevator which takes you up to the place at 9:30. Much shorter, much safer, much easier. Other than to unlock that one door from the inside, there is no reason to be taking that route.
Yeah they appear there, the only ending u can't get all together is the Frenzied Flame ending, since u need to get marked with the flame first (which nullifies several other endings)
So really whatever I choose it doesn't matter. Because "Our seed will look back upon us, and recall an age of Rocky Road or an age of Mint Chocolate Chip, or Strawberry or Vanilla Bean".
@@itcantbe6377 i also due to the crab after defeating him, but then i went to the sewers and killed him and i got his sword and armour set (i didnt continue the questline because i already finished the game)
So i gave him all the seedbed curses got the scene where the screen went dark and he screamed but he didn't die. The dude is still alive saying "curse you golden order, one day you'll get whats coming" I reload the area but he doesn't die.
I unintended Killed the dung eater while trying to kill the effing hand from inside his cell, but i dont feel bad about it. Dont think i lost much, more sad seluvis got killd before i could take the potion to give him. Not that im sad about selluvis either.
The crab killed me and dung eater at the same time,so even though it showed me get the sword as a drop,it didn't show up in my inventory and the questline is moving forward. Guess I'll have to get it on the run when I actually take this ending.
@@rapdorm5777 I don't believe I did,I honestly got kinda let down and stopped dung eaters quest,I only found 2 of his seeds or w.e it is he wants us to collect. I've already done most of the quests in my first playthrough so I'm focusing on dung eater in my ng+ for sure.
@@rapdorm5777 I just got the sword,by smacking him once while he's tied up in the sewer lol. As I said I'll properly do his quest next playthrough,glad I got the sword and armor at least.
I killed him by mistake, I went and gave him the seeds then nothing happened so I tried to attack see if anything happens and he dies immediately, found out later I missed one
This guy really hated the Golden Order so much he was willing to allow himself to be tortured to death in a particularly gruesome manner in order to bring it down. Good grief.
Bittersweet is the FromSoft world… Natural discovery is a must, with the possibility of never discovering at all or destroying a storyline prematurely… Can’t search for answers without a complete spoil.
Well in my Dung Eater fight... The crab in the center spawned and death blighted me and it caused dung to somehow get death blighted and it slayed him but no sword drop on respawn.....

There's probably about 15 more I can't remember/haven't found yet but the point stands
Edit after 100% i can confirm 19-25 side quests depending on whether you count ones that don’t give rewards or take only 10-20 minutes to complete
Cool another thing for me to do when I wake up. Thanks for these guides.
How do you type while sleeping? That's very impressive
This ending is so depraived, I had to give Seluvis's potion to The Dung Eater and then executed him while he struggled to come to terms with becoming my puppet. A fitting end for such a disgusting being.
Dung eater: drinks Seluvis’s potion and becomes a puppet
The player character: then kills the dung eater
The player character: you get what you fucking deserve!
My favorite voice in this game. Such great lines and delivery
His accent and tone of voice during my initial encounter, with dungeater, sent chills throughout my whole body.
This guy intrigues me so much I couldn't even wait to reach Altus Plateu and I decided to just look up the whole questline and lore! thank you so much for this video!
For all who worry, because they advanced too far in the story: Seedbed runes 2-5 are not missable.
Of course the one I missed was seedbed 1. Ughhhh…….
@@diamondborealis454 Same
Such a shit Game
They are missable. There are 2 on Leyndell and if you go to the forge of giants you will miss 1 of them.
@@debegalo no, you can't
@@xsnowwx5992 it's placed in a giant tower on the path directly in front of you the moment you enter the capital, it isn't hard to find
The reason why everyone wonders if he actually eats dung (shit) is because of how out of nowhere his title is. Gideon being called the "All Knowing" doesn't carry the same effect cause his title has more Majesty and is generally more positive he is just a smart man. I believe the out of nowhere presence of his title is meant to grab our attention.The "Dung Eater" is just a title he received from being a horrible person and a killer. Like all souls games there is multiple endings some "good "some "bad" and alternate choices. Much of the lore in souls games is meant to have our own take on it as well. Also to be relatable to some of us. What does it say about us if we go down this questline and choose to finish it by cursing the entire lands between when we become Elden Lord? Its just like he said "You are me...and i am The Dung Eater."
My man he literally eats corpses and their literal shit lmao
For a Fromsoft game where each character isn't really considered the bad guy, the Dung Eater can be considered A bad guy...
Indeed, he really has earned his nickname as Loathsome.
I think this is the better quest guide. I’m just recapping it for myself and the presentation fits. No talking, no ugly-bright settings, shown everything, fast forward when needed.
This man is by far, the most repugnant character in any souls game. Worse than Lautrec, Sulyvahn, or Gwynn.
Everything from his armor, his voice, his sword, even his unmasked face, are all disgusting and vile.
I don’t think there’s ever been an NPC in these games that was Honest about what they want, or their motives. This freak defiles corpses so that even if they return from the Erdtree, they remain forever cursed. The mending rune he gives you curses the world forever, and he just Loves the idea of that.
It’s no wonder he was hanged, then locked away, then sent Back to the shunning grounds and tied up.
I find it ironic that Lautrec works alongside the Goddess of Love, yet is a very messed up person and is the opposite of what love stands for.
Dung Eater is the only one who doesn't take the "Eat shit" as an insult
Dung Eater's dialogues about "a curse, for their and their children, and the children's children" reminds me of Bloodborne's Fishing Hamlet. Like the fisher curse the Hunters, and the next Hunters generations.
I was right before the final boss, so I'm pretty sure I missed one or 2 seedbeds and giving him 3 didn't really do anything, so I just killed him in his chair for the armor. However, I checked and I have a rune which has exactly the same description/use as the Mending Rune the Dung Eater would have given me, so it's weird.
Those mending runes sre for the different endings i think
Top tier guide right here. Thank you very much
I went to fight him but I ended up having to fight him AND the big ass crab, I died but when I died the crab felt bad to double teaming and killed dung eater.
Jump attacks and heavy attacks destroys crabs, shrimps, and many other pesky enemies. Thank me later. Try not too R1 spam.
LOL the plot twist 😂🦀
The crab wanted all the glory 😫🙌
Time for Crab indeed.
Gotta say the VA for Dung Eater did a top tier job
Can we just admit that he has the best va in the whole game along with Morgott?
If somebody ever questions your sanity.... Just remember that someone had this character on their mind for years.
Turd Man Jones has risen as Elden Lord.
These vids are great and very easy to follow. Keep it up dude, instant sub!
Love how is a reference to the Dark Sign from Dark Souls but with no cure
You gave the Erdtree chlamydia. Truly loathsome.
His voice acting is insane I love it
I wonder what he means by "defile". He defiles his victims and wants to defile you. But I'm moreover curious as to *how* you defiled him in his cellar where he instructed you to defile him and begins with a blacked screen followed by him screaming. Makes me shiver, but curious and want to know nonetheless.
@Nayomnik If you scroll down, you'll notice how someone explains "Dung Rather" is symbolism... I'm not looking for the obvious, I'm looking for the design what, and why of this character. Clearly you don't understand the art in the souls series
@Nayomnik So you're complementing me? Oh yes, I forgot there are idiots who think "nerd" is an insult whilst being ignorant.
@Nayomnik LOL
Dung Eater: I want you to defile me.
Tarnished: *Locks door* I'm feeling romantical
*And for the first time, the dung eater felt fear*
I feel OK watching this cause I'm never ever going to side with Dung Eater on anything. The ending is kind of underwhelming though so I'm glad I didn't miss much.
Who Would Win?
The Loathsome Dung Eater vs Dung Defender
Thank you so much .. You helped me a lot ❤️
If Dung Eater doesn't invade you then talk to the prawn merchant, quit and save and then talk to him again. He should definitely invade after that.
I was following this video and I think I figured him out, possible spoilers below:
The sword he dropped implies that he's a miniature giant and likely casted out. He then turned to humans of his size but instead of friendship, he found true hatred, being treated even worst .
This hatred might share a connection with the mark on his right eye, which possibly shares a resemblance like the mark of frenzy on Melina's eye. This mark is meant to be seen by players from the hole on his mask below where his right eye should be. when one clips their camera through his helmet, by accident of course, one would see facial features and ear shape that heavily implies of him a separate species. I speculate him half-human and half-giant, for his hair is brownish red.
like so others can see and accidentally clip their camera too.
you forgot the giant fuking hand guarding his cell
AT LAST! The man, the myth, the eater of dung himself!
Man fuck that guy, he killed lobster bro.
8:55 can someone explain to me why people are taking this course to reach the imp statue? If you go the other direction from the grace you'll find a hallway that leads to an elevator which takes you up to the place at 9:30. Much shorter, much safer, much easier. Other than to unlock that one door from the inside, there is no reason to be taking that route.
You can't pull the lever at first you need to activate the elevator by stepping on it which requires you to take the long route
Gowry and dung eater really do make grandfather nurgle proud.
Dung Eater is like the creepy uncle in the family,
Just more unleashed and zero ducks about what he does
If you have an uncle like this, please let the authorities know
@@kayhaich bwaahaahaa
The sped up Leyndell music actually sounds pretty nice
I've heard there are several endings so if you reach the end with several runes can you choose which one to use?
Yeah they appear there, the only ending u can't get all together is the Frenzied Flame ending, since u need to get marked with the flame first (which nullifies several other endings)
@@dudec3 You can use the needle to nullify the frenzied flame
@@djordjebanovcanin2205 what needle?
@@nerdlegion5362 u get it from completing milicents questline
@@dudec3 so you can choose for example between the age of stars and the age of fracture?
10:31 omg their voices are so much fun
There is also a big crab that you fight when you fight him in the moat, its really annoying.
You just need to _attack its weak point for massive damage_
If you die to the dude in the moat does it affect anything with the story or can you jusr refight him?
cant wait until the lore guys find out why he has a sunbro neckless
papa nurgles finest servant
go to a length to turn everything in to despair at the end... such ending.
12:30 so this entire questline boils down to:
help the dung eater take a shit that will curse everyone.
well, he excrements what he eats.
btw at 11:05 in that box i found somber ancient dragon smithing stone!
My man looks like he’s treading through knee-high snow.
This ending would make Nurgle happy
So really whatever I choose it doesn't matter. Because "Our seed will look back upon us, and recall an age of Rocky Road or an age of Mint Chocolate Chip, or Strawberry or Vanilla Bean".
I wonder how this dude is one shotting everything and not taking damage at all. I’d love to do an omnipotence run through the game. 😅
I don't even want to mess with this guy at all.
He has a nice voice, especially 6:44
i really wish you would show how you got to certain areas such as "prayer room"
rather than just showing up there
And they though the frenzied flame is the worst ending. To me this shit is even worse for it leave a lasting unending curse for all.
frenzied flame starts dark souls
LMAO the one-shot he gets took me off guard
I killed him but the crab killed me at the same time and i came back and his sword was gone also he didn’t drop his armor after he died
Me too bruh i didn't get his sword because i died im mad bruh
@@itcantbe6377 i also due to the crab after defeating him, but then i went to the sewers and killed him and i got his sword and armour set (i didnt continue the questline because i already finished the game)
Ah a new ending for me to speed run great
Damn...
For some reason I think even the sky will smell like shit in that ending
Ah yes, thank you UA-cam. This is totally Dark Souls 1.
Your character looks like Ahsoka from behind with the white kyber crystal
So i gave him all the seedbed curses got the scene where the screen went dark and he screamed but he didn't die. The dude is still alive saying "curse you golden order, one day you'll get whats coming" I reload the area but he doesn't die.
i dont have the option to give him the potion, even tho i still have it. is it becasue seluvis is dead already because of rannis questline?
I unintended Killed the dung eater while trying to kill the effing hand from inside his cell, but i dont feel bad about it. Dont think i lost much, more sad seluvis got killd before i could take the potion to give him. Not that im sad about selluvis either.
The crab killed me and dung eater at the same time,so even though it showed me get the sword as a drop,it didn't show up in my inventory and the questline is moving forward. Guess I'll have to get it on the run when I actually take this ending.
@@rapdorm5777 I don't believe I did,I honestly got kinda let down and stopped dung eaters quest,I only found 2 of his seeds or w.e it is he wants us to collect. I've already done most of the quests in my first playthrough so I'm focusing on dung eater in my ng+ for sure.
@@rapdorm5777 I just got the sword,by smacking him once while he's tied up in the sewer lol. As I said I'll properly do his quest next playthrough,glad I got the sword and armor at least.
This guy really is committed to this cursed MLM scheme
you can get the seeded curse if the tree burns already anyway, the corpse will sit there on the desert !
Torches help visibility on youtube videos. Great guide btw
Bless me oh dung bro, bless me with thy most vile of curses.
The dude offered to kill me and defile my corpse so that my soul would be cursed upon reincarnation. His questline ended when I killed him.
Okay
I killed him by mistake, I went and gave him the seeds then nothing happened so I tried to attack see if anything happens and he dies immediately, found out later I missed one
This guy really hated the Golden Order so much he was willing to allow himself to be tortured to death in a particularly gruesome manner in order to bring it down. Good grief.
It turns out when Fromsoft titles him the "LOATHSOME" Dung Eater, they really meant it.
A true fan of papa Nurgle
8:18 how do you get over the bridge at volcano Manor
He left that part out
@@netterz3411 I ended up finishing it. It doesn't require that you go over the bridge. You got to take a right when you leave the church.
Before entering the fat fencer boss fight, turn left.
Bittersweet is the FromSoft world… Natural discovery is a must, with the possibility of never discovering at all or destroying a storyline prematurely… Can’t search for answers without a complete spoil.
Well in my Dung Eater fight... The crab in the center spawned and death blighted me and it caused dung to somehow get death blighted and it slayed him but no sword drop on respawn.....
Damn he turns everything into a dark toilet forever.
i was wondering if you could still turn him into a puppet after you finish his quest... guess not... good to know
You are, in fact, me. And I... am the Dong Eater
Dung , maidenless & tarnished 😔 forever curse for ages to come
really good guide
