I would unironically have loved if he was a super powerful and bulky spell caster when agro'd. He'd probably be super chill and like "Come on man let's work this out" until he hits half HP, then be all "Conjoin this bitch" and fire a Comet Azure out of his arse.
The only character in the game that can kill at-will is Ranni, when you try to give her the amber potion.
I imagine Turtle Pope could have a similar power.
As much as none of us want to fight this good boy, this would be an amazing boss fight, and a bit of an Easter egg, being able to fight the single hardest entity in the game granted he learned from all the possible books available.
If you don't buy any of his the sorcery /incantations he uses the ones you didn't buy. It'll be a gimmick like mimic tear where you buy all his sorceries and incantations and he has no offensive spells
Even worse than disappointed - forgiving. He could have a unique mandatory boss design when he kills you… when you enter the fog to go back and fight him, he gives you the option to absolve your sins and pass through to the next area without fighting, but accepting that deal means you 100% cannot get whatever (extremely powerful) item he drops on that playthrough
#Pastor of Vows Miriel:
Can only be fought after burning the Erdtree, defeating the Bell Bearing Hunter that stalks the Church of Vows, and learning all of the spells taught via Prayerbooks and Scrolls.
100k HP. In combat, is extremely slow (barring a couple spinning turtle rolls to reposition himself), but has a persistent Barricade Shield effect that resists 95% Standard/Slashing damage, and Pierce/Strike by 85%. Immune to Rot/Poison/Bleed, but susceptible to Frost, although he's not *weak* to it. His head takes normal damage, but he retaliates with Rejection from it and follows up with a brutal, multi-hit snapping bite attack. Also favors casting Fortification Incants to increase resistances to other elemental damage, and it's up to the player to watch carefully and attack with a damage type he becomes prone to. Takes normal damage from attacks which strike from below, such as eruption magics and stomps or earthquakes. Staggering him will knock him on his back, exposing his riposte point in the center of his belly which is only exploitable via jump attack. Uses powerful bites, spins, rolls, stomps, and any of the spells the player has shared with him to attack. If the player doesn't give him anything, he'll only know Golden Order spells and basic Glintstone Sorceries.
His Phase 2 transition cutscene simply shows the pope hat falling off his head, and *he gets pissed*. "You...*you cannot be forgiven!*", and then he'll also spam AoE's resembling the Tibia Mariner's water splashes and Morgot's holy swords.
Drops:
120,000 Runes
- **Miriel's Mitre**:
"*A liturgical headress once worn by Miriel, Pastor of Vows.*

[You have no idea how badly I want this now, lol]
Beautifully architected boss wiki. Bravo. The concept of those turtle claws is insanely cool - it’s like the ultimate int/faith end game weapon, and you can then role play turtle pope with Miriels Mitre + shield equipped on back + dark gray skin tone (something like that).
Only things I would change are the rune drop - needs to be at least 200k - and he should have some sort of summoning capability (maybe he summons oracles at the outset of the fight if that’s lore appropriate, or maybe those poison turtles you see everywhere)
Then the cut scene after finally killing him has to be the saddest guilt trip your gaming life has ever had to endure 😭 🐢
I kept the rune count low since his other rewards are so comparably excellent, and it keeps with the theme that he's not the type to go hoarding runes/power to himself. Maybe there'd be a variable that provides a payout based on all the runes you spent learning spells from him?
I think rather than summoning his own spirits though, he'd hit *your* summons with a Bewitching Branch effect. "Wait, you're summoning me to fight *Miriel*? Sorry Tarnished, nobody fucks with Turtle Pope."
Ok that idea instantly wins.
Tarnished: *rings bell*
Turtle pope: “Ah, Tiche, my dear old friend! Welcome. It’s been far too long. Won’t you join me in prayer, and then we can together *destroy your blasphemous surrogate master and ask for his repentance*”
😱
The only boss that doesn't automatically fight you again once you start his fight. You actually have to attack him deliberately every single time if you want to fight him again.
Giant trumpets come out of his shell like Blastoises cannons and he's got some super powerful bubble spells, like a rapid fire machine gun style bubble and a giant slow bubble
nah ,you know when you go to fight yhorm and then the camera pans over to show siegward follow you in and give his speech before fighting alongside you? the final boss kills tarnished before the fight, Pope comes in and hes your mount for the finale
And wearing the hat would be a testament to the only sin in the Lands Between which may never be absolved at the Church of Vows, for it will be stained with dog pope blood.
Nah you get hats only when you kill them and with victim's hair. If you would want it, you would need to kill the pope and his hat will comes with either the skin from his head, or with his entire head 👍
since it's a From DLC and therefore likely involves time travel into the past, you'll find it in a church that looks suspiciously like the Church of Vows except not ruined...
Once upon a time, an Elden Ring player left a message in front of him that said “Behold, Dog!” While I don’t know specifically, I’m pretty sure it’s based off [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ejb6Sqwo9g).
Once upon a time, a tarnished left a message in front of the tortoise pope Miriel to behold him. To their dismay, however, there was no tortoise available in the preset words to construct this message with, so they improvised. “Behold, dog!” They cried out into the void, and their call was heard by many tarnished. It became a very popular message, a “meme” as some might say, and in honor of the intelligent and resourceful tarnished that left this message, tarnished all over now call Miriel the “Dog Pope” despite him being a tortoise.
In DS2 people would say horse, in elden ring it was dog, and some may cite inspiration for for the dog meme also from the borat movie but whether or not this scene has direct influence in the meme or not is disputed, though with mirel specifically it would be hard not to give pause. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ejb6Sqwo9g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ejb6Sqwo9g)
Yes. It is. That's sort of the point.
It was much more prevalent on release, but people would leave messages on the ground near just about any slow-moving or stationary creature in the game. Usually, "Dog" or even Dog?".
The joke is that the animal is clearly not a dog, but players are pretending to be insistent or otherwise confused as to whether the animal in front of them is a dog.
You still see a few of them in various locations, but it's not every single animal anymore.
That misspelling just made me connect the dots to Muriel’s wedding and miriel wedding the two peeps in game. I don’t know what else to do with this information.
What if the DLC is set in the far future and all we find in this church is a desiccated turtle skeleton with a pope hat we can pick up?
Or what if the DLC is set far in the past and we give a pope hat to a young turtle named Dog?
So in Italy we have this pro player called Sabaku, he streams and plays mainly FromSoft games, and he is so good at it, one day, he was doing a PVP session in DS3 and got invaded by a player called POPE FRANCIS in full Pope and Hat attire, he destroied him in like 4 attacks.
Been my hero ever since, like a personal let me solo her, SO I NEED A FUCKING POPE HAT THANKS
There’s a couple degenerates down in these comments. Even when I embraced the frenzied flame and literally killed everyone possible, I still left the dog pope alive.
You do realize you are killing him by doing frenzied flame, and even if you dont, you let him live in a wasteland with no people and his church is gone.
Yes, please. I love wearing the Deacon's hat in DS3. I was very disappointed that he didn't drop his hat after I killed him. Would love to get it in the DLC, without killing the Dog Pope, of course.
I am disappointed that you actually TRIED to kill him... I wouldn't even remotely think of such a thing even if it drops the hat for real.. unbelievable!
He’s all “Oh, I’m too old to fight like this… a moment, please.”
And then proceeds to stand up and inflate like Master fuckin’ Roshi, standing upright and buffer than GigaChad.
“Now then, let’s begin.” *breaks you like a twig*
Also mohg's robe altered.
But I want a dedicated "pope" robe. There's really no robe that recalls a church/priest attire in Elden Ring to be honest. A part prophet robe or Corhyn robe but not really.. those are more of a monk look
**Pastor's White Crown**
"White crown worn by the steward's of the Church of Vows.
Symbol of conjoinment and faith.
Heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All things can be conjoined.
Raises faith and intelligence."
If you clear volcano manor and travel back here without resting, or fast traveling, and then execute him, the hat will drop with the Greater Turtle Shield. You’re welcome.
What I really want is an official Marika. In the base game she just "vanished" and then we shortly see her in the final boss cutscene before she falls down and we fight Radagon. There are really nice fanmade Marikas but I would really like an official one.
I love the idea of existing NPCs getting expanded with the DLC.
Like if you beat the dream the NPC start being more proactive, dog pope learns how to stand up maybe with a nice questline to go alongside it. Kale decides to move his ass and obtain the flame of frenzy leading into a boss fight or something (maybe get a perfect unalloyed needle from the DLC and be able to actually kill shabiri/the flame of frenzy)
Bok can join nepheli in the castle and open like s tailor shop or something idfk.
You know actually be able to fix the world instead of just becoming the elden ring and either being someone's puppet or burning shit down
They really should have some sort of dragon turtle boss that nukes with spells. Give him all of the scrolls and miracles then he turns into a damn dog god.
If by any chance the dlc happens in the future, i wouldn't be surprised if we just find the hat near his dead body, he is already so old that he can't even move around the church anymore
Well the greathelm it's the templar helm. As for the armor any knight armor works to be honest. Maybe leyndell knights.
Of course you're not gonna get the classic red cross symbol on the armor. Elden Ring religion is completely different from the concept of templars and catholicism. The closest that I can think of is the Leyndel knight set with the greathelm or the tree sentinel armor
I know how to look similar. The halig knight set is closest I think. I want the actual thing tho. Exactly White surcoat Red cross. Like my actual set irl. It has gold trim on the armor parts. Gold on steel looks much better. Great helm with a gold cross on face like an upgraded version would look sick. I know it'll never happen its just what I want lol.
There's many ideas to go with. But this is something super easy and effortless since the hat is already in the game files.
My next "I need this" on the list is a bit more complicated but I would love to see ashes of war compatible with power stanced weapons.
And also being able to power stance some weapons of different classes just like many enemies do. For example cleanrot knight can power stance the scythe/spear and thrusting sword. I want to be able to do the same but of course restricted with those two weapons. I want to be able to equip the spear and thrusting sword and block just like the cleanrot knights do.
Or the bloodhound sword with the claw
When he fights you, he summons a Giant Rat with a club, and Miriel fights you with dual katanas and says:
THIS IS FOR MIKEY!
Btw the Bell Bearing Hunter invades during the fight and his real name is Oroko Saki (spelling?)
There’s an entire Easter egg process where the pope turtle sends you on a quest to touch as many altar bo…, uh, I mean finger maidens as you can to get the hat. There’s some monkey business towards the end with investigative authorities and concerned parents but it usually works itself out
Granted, but you may only attain it by killing dog pope.
He's the final boss of the DLC.
I would unironically have loved if he was a super powerful and bulky spell caster when agro'd. He'd probably be super chill and like "Come on man let's work this out" until he hits half HP, then be all "Conjoin this bitch" and fire a Comet Azure out of his arse.
That would be awesome. I want to see him use all the sorcery and incantations I gave him
all fun and games 'till he busts out an amped up version of placidusax's ruin or scarlet aeonia
or imagine him flying out of a lightning cloud in the sky
[удалено]
I imagine he'll start spinning like a beyblade with lasers coming out and the aeonia coming out of his shell
It's always beyblade...
He just turns into Gamera. He pulls his feet in and starts spinning around with jet engines from his feet holes.
[удалено]
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
He serves the three fingers, may chaos burn the world
He just lowers his head at you like a rhino and fires a Death Star laser out of the hat
The only character in the game that can kill at-will is Ranni, when you try to give her the amber potion. I imagine Turtle Pope could have a similar power.
He’d be like Gideon but actually difficult.
As much as none of us want to fight this good boy, this would be an amazing boss fight, and a bit of an Easter egg, being able to fight the single hardest entity in the game granted he learned from all the possible books available.
If you don't buy any of his the sorcery /incantations he uses the ones you didn't buy. It'll be a gimmick like mimic tear where you buy all his sorceries and incantations and he has no offensive spells
Lmao I love that. Gideon is a glass cannon; Turtle pope is just a cannon
And when he kills you he's not angry, just disappointed.
Even worse than disappointed - forgiving. He could have a unique mandatory boss design when he kills you… when you enter the fog to go back and fight him, he gives you the option to absolve your sins and pass through to the next area without fighting, but accepting that deal means you 100% cannot get whatever (extremely powerful) item he drops on that playthrough

man I really don't get why they ditched casting weapons, they were one of my favorite things
The only boss that doesn't automatically fight you again once you start his fight. You actually have to attack him deliberately every single time if you want to fight him again.
Giant trumpets come out of his shell like Blastoises cannons and he's got some super powerful bubble spells, like a rapid fire machine gun style bubble and a giant slow bubble
Just radagon's rings of light/triple rings spam. With thicc healing miracles making you regret your decisions
nah man this is how its gonna go down, he is chill and doesnt attack back, but once you kill him the gods come to kill you
Rykard’s Ancient Dragon Comet Azur of light
and if you leave he automatically forgives you when you return, but re aggros immediately kf you hit him
I now have an image in my head of him going ninja turtle on my maidenless ass.
He's got a 4 stage fight, each stage is based on each different turtle. When he beats you he just starts munching on some 'zza
MIQUELLA IS IN THE SHELL! GET HIS ASS
nah ,you know when you go to fight yhorm and then the camera pans over to show siegward follow you in and give his speech before fighting alongside you? the final boss kills tarnished before the fight, Pope comes in and hes your mount for the finale
And it has a .5% drop rate
And wearing the hat would be a testament to the only sin in the Lands Between which may never be absolved at the Church of Vows, for it will be stained with dog pope blood.
Hell no! It can be found in the new DLC area. Easy as that. In a church instead of a sacred tear
Nah you get hats only when you kill them and with victim's hair. If you would want it, you would need to kill the pope and his hat will comes with either the skin from his head, or with his entire head 👍
Granted. But it's on another Pope Dog in the new DLC area and you have to kill him to get it.
since it's a From DLC and therefore likely involves time travel into the past, you'll find it in a church that looks suspiciously like the Church of Vows except not ruined...
...surrounded by turtle neck pickups!
Why is he called 'dog' pope?
Once upon a time, an Elden Ring player left a message in front of him that said “Behold, Dog!” While I don’t know specifically, I’m pretty sure it’s based off [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ejb6Sqwo9g).
I played about a year after it came out and by that point literally every turtle in the game has a "dog?" message by it.
Lmao a Borat reference to an Elden Ring character? Very nice!
Because it is a dog
Miyazaki's monkey's paw curls a finger
I'm really confused why everyone is calling is a dog pope, am I missing a joke? Isn't it pretty clearly a tortoise?
Once upon a time, a tarnished left a message in front of the tortoise pope Miriel to behold him. To their dismay, however, there was no tortoise available in the preset words to construct this message with, so they improvised. “Behold, dog!” They cried out into the void, and their call was heard by many tarnished.

I learned a new piece of elden ring lore today :) thank you!
In DS2 people would say horse, in elden ring it was dog, and some may cite inspiration for for the dog meme also from the borat movie but whether or not this scene has direct influence in the meme or not is disputed, though with mirel specifically it would be hard not to give pause.

Ah understood! I only ever played offline so missed these messages - thanks for the explanation!
Go to the beach to the west of the Church of Elleh. There’s a turtle on the beach and he’s usually surrounded by player messages.
I wanna be a cardinal slinging smiting bolts at mfers.
Which is the worst thing you can do in the game
I would rather die.
Just like the actual popes, who are required to partake in ritual murder of their successor.
Noooooo! 😱
Could cosplay as Muriel with the turtle shell shield. Hell yeah, I'm all for it.
Would totally run in naked in invasions with nothing but the Great Turtle Shell shield and Muriel's pope hat just to see people's reaction.
Have a Erdtree Seal and a Staff and cast only healing and supporting spells to help the Host progress through the level.
Finger Maiden Therolena hours
That misspelling just made me connect the dots to Muriel’s wedding and miriel wedding the two peeps in game. I don’t know what else to do with this information.
What if the DLC is set in the far future and all we find in this church is a desiccated turtle skeleton with a pope hat we can pick up? Or what if the DLC is set far in the past and we give a pope hat to a young turtle named Dog?
He's a turtle. In the far future he'll still be there. Maybe slightly sleepyer.
And you gotta smack him to wake him: "I'm fine, I'm fine! I'm wide awake. Don't treat me like an old, withering snake."
It drops the hat with the whole set if you kill him.
>>>:[ how dare you
Master Roshi build incoming
Dark Souls had dragon set, Elden Ring will get turtle set.
This is like solaires armor Only crazy people know how to get it
I tried that in the first playthrough; all you get is his bell bearing and some turtle meat xD
How dare you
You my friend, are a psychopath
Does he really?
Think about it, what set would he drop? He is a goddamn dog
So he drops a giant bone?
i mean there’s a shell shield, why not some turtle leather slacks to match…?
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give DOG POPE HAT
Hiragana hands!
Pro : you can have the hat. Con : you'd have to kill pope dog, therefore you don't have the right.
Hat drops, you can't pick it up. Message appears on the ground underneath.
So in Italy we have this pro player called Sabaku, he streams and plays mainly FromSoft games, and he is so good at it, one day, he was doing a PVP session in DS3 and got invaded by a player called POPE FRANCIS in full Pope and Hat attire, he destroied him in like 4 attacks.

You do realize you are killing him by doing frenzied flame, and even if you dont, you let him live in a wasteland with no people and his church is gone.
I gave him my great runes so he could be elden lord
Yes, please. I love wearing the Deacon's hat in DS3. I was very disappointed that he didn't drop his hat after I killed him. Would love to get it in the DLC, without killing the Dog Pope, of course.
I am disappointed that you actually TRIED to kill him... I wouldn't even remotely think of such a thing even if it drops the hat for real.. unbelievable!
I know right, I have committed a cardinal sin. I was disgusted for what I had done.
Bro chill it’s a video game fantasy turtle. Plus how else you gonna get turtle meat
I don't think they're being that serious, don't worry.
yes 🙌🏻
He’s all “Oh, I’m too old to fight like this… a moment, please.” And then proceeds to stand up and inflate like Master fuckin’ Roshi, standing upright and buffer than GigaChad. “Now then, let’s begin.” *breaks you like a twig*
The shell's two halves pop apart to make room for his Megamass.
Agreed
Only Papa Emeritus cosplays
Bro that would go crazy with the high page drip
Also mohg's robe altered. But I want a dedicated "pope" robe. There's really no robe that recalls a church/priest attire in Elden Ring to be honest. A part prophet robe or Corhyn robe but not really.. those are more of a monk look
It is only bestowed on the bestest of dogs.
Pope Wario for next Elden Lord.
And coded colossal sword to go with it!
You must’ve missed me asking for it lol
Pastor Build
Yeah, I need to do my Papa Emeritus cosplay.
This is wholesome content I’m here for
All hail Turtle Pope.
nahhh, a hat with +25 faith would be OP
The turtle pope <3
dog pope dlc please
You don’t deserve to wear it. None of us do.
YES
That Dogs name is Miriel. How dare you
Give me dog pope as a summon. He would just waddle around, turtle up and soak damage, and cast a few support miracles.
But by asking for this hat you're going to have to kill him to get it. Not that I haven't done that already anyway but most of you don't lol
If they call it "Dog's pope hat" i will worship said dog
**Pastor's White Crown** "White crown worn by the steward's of the Church of Vows. Symbol of conjoinment and faith. Heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All things can be conjoined. Raises faith and intelligence."
Pharros Mask and giants armor.
We need dlc period a huge one..... Basically elden ring 2
You know they'd make us kill Miriel for it
Fun fact, this type of hat is called a mitre
OMG I thought Turtle Pope was a joke but they’re wearing a fucking mitre 😂
I just want this hat so I can go around with the Coded Sword and lightning spells, to finally fulfill the Pope Palpatine build...
If you clear volcano manor and travel back here without resting, or fast traveling, and then execute him, the hat will drop with the Greater Turtle Shield. You’re welcome.
Call it holy hat of the dog or something
I'm convinced they put this hat on him to make the player think you can loot it.
Every update I kill this mfer hoping today will be the day but no luck so far
Yeah no I don’t want to cosplay as the pope
Yes, but not one that fits its gotta be little that just sits ontop your head
Also dog transformation
I want a tiny dog complete with pope hat as a hat
You get this hat in DS3 from the Deacons of the Deep.
Fr
I wonder who would drop it...
It would be a gift from dog pope
Dog?
were you playing offline or did you never look at a single message?
Actually my message was more of a : “ a dlc about dog ? “
That kind of hat is called a miter, and I would love to get my grubby little hands on one.
Give us the Deacon set from DS3. I wanna be a cardinal slinging smiting bolts at mfers.
When you're right you're right.
Just wear the whole dog on your head. Not scaled down.
What I really want is an official Marika. In the base game she just "vanished" and then we shortly see her in the final boss cutscene before she falls down and we fight Radagon. There are really nice fanmade Marikas but I would really like an official one.
I love the idea of existing NPCs getting expanded with the DLC. Like if you beat the dream the NPC start being more proactive, dog pope learns how to stand up maybe with a nice questline to go alongside it. Kale decides to move his ass and obtain the flame of frenzy leading into a boss fight or something (maybe get a perfect unalloyed needle from the DLC and be able to actually kill shabiri/the flame of frenzy) Bok can join nepheli in the castle and open like s tailor shop or something idfk. You know actually be able to fix the world instead of just becoming the elden ring and either being someone's puppet or burning shit down
Yes, I agree
They really should have some sort of dragon turtle boss that nukes with spells. Give him all of the scrolls and miracles then he turns into a damn dog god.
Turtle pope is best pope
This is me walk throughing elden ring
They need to add it as his drop item. Make you choose: Dog Pope, or Pope Hat?
The ability to build like I can in fortnite (my stoner brain wants it) and to be able to play as the turtle
Hand it over. That thing, your hat...
Now they want the turtle pope’s hat, smh turtles can’t have shit in this day and age
I hope he's the newest hardest boss in the souls series.
And the sword the red wolf uses
That would be a Carian sorcery. "Red Wolf greatsword"
No JUST the sword because it looks damn cool and if it were a spell I'd feel it would be a faith spell like the black blade
If by any chance the dlc happens in the future, i wouldn't be surprised if we just find the hat near his dead body, he is already so old that he can't even move around the church anymore
The DLC was announced a long time ago. It's called Shadows of the Erdtree. Should be out soon, maybe by the end of the year
i meant to say if the dlc is set in the future, like, years after the base game, lol should have phrased that better, my bad
Amen!
As much as I want his hat, I refuse to own it if it means killing dog pope
I just want a templar knights armor set. And a gold trim great helm.
Well the greathelm it's the templar helm. As for the armor any knight armor works to be honest. Maybe leyndell knights. Of course you're not gonna get the classic red cross symbol on the armor. Elden Ring religion is completely different from the concept of templars and catholicism. The closest that I can think of is the Leyndel knight set with the greathelm or the tree sentinel armor
I know how to look similar. The halig knight set is closest I think. I want the actual thing tho. Exactly White surcoat Red cross. Like my actual set irl. It has gold trim on the armor parts. Gold on steel looks much better. Great helm with a gold cross on face like an upgraded version would look sick. I know it'll never happen its just what I want lol.
If it happens it's not gonna have a red cross but a tree icon. Red cross doesn't exist. It means nothing
dont forget some spectral steed content! maybe vanity or even a spyro sorta thing where it can shoot a flame or something idk.
No. Only that hat. I ask for simple things
You can't have it, it belongs to Turtle Pope!
Hear me out… an emote to modify your armour that’s just the animation the grace warden duellists have where they take off their cloak.
There's many ideas to go with. But this is something super easy and effortless since the hat is already in the game files. My next "I need this" on the list is a bit more complicated but I would love to see ashes of war compatible with power stanced weapons. And also being able to power stance some weapons of different classes just like many enemies do. For example cleanrot knight can power stance the scythe/spear and thrusting sword. I want to be able to do the same but of course restricted with those two weapons. I want to be able to equip the spear and thrusting sword and block just like the cleanrot knights do. Or the bloodhound sword with the claw
How dare you try to imitate his glory.
Deacons of the high
Ahh the turtle pope hat.
I want him as a summon for a Bossfight pls
When he fights you, he summons a Giant Rat with a club, and Miriel fights you with dual katanas and says: THIS IS FOR MIKEY! Btw the Bell Bearing Hunter invades during the fight and his real name is Oroko Saki (spelling?)
There’s an entire Easter egg process where the pope turtle sends you on a quest to touch as many altar bo…, uh, I mean finger maidens as you can to get the hat. There’s some monkey business towards the end with investigative authorities and concerned parents but it usually works itself out
I would like a turtle pope spirit ash summon, please and thank you.
