Notes

---

• After his dialogue is exhausted, he can be summoned for the Scorpioness Najka boss fight. His sign is just outside Najka's fog gate.
• If summoned for the fight against Najka and he dies before she does, he does not appear in the sand pit. Use a bonfire and Tark reappears.
• Even if he is killed before the fight with Scorpioness Najka, you may still receive your reward from his gravestone.
• If killed in Scholar of the First Sin the Black Scorpion Stinger may be purchased from Merchant Hag Melentia.
• After summoning him, if you attempt to walk to other areas besides the boss fight, he returns home.

• Without Ring of Whispers equipped
  …?

• Using Talk Prompt
  Human, are we?
  This is no place for you. Be gone.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Are you not afraid of me?
  Humans rarely come here.
  Those who do turn back when they see me. Or make an attempt on my life.
  But you, heh…are different.

• Using Talk Prompt
  We once had a master. He created us long, long ago.
  But he was born with a fatal flaw.
  He resented those who had what he lacked, and became fully mired in hatred.
  Eventually, he drove himself mad.
  It was at the peak of this madness that he conjured up we strange creatures.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Our master was a tragically lonely soul.
  Eventually, his solitude eroded his very reason.
  In the end, he never understood…
  …what it was that he truly lacked.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Nobody knows when we were born.
  Or where our master has gone.
  The only ones who even speak a human tongue are myself and my better half.

• Using Talk Prompt
  I wish to ask a favour of you. I want you to kill my betrothed.
  Once, I always found her at my side. But as time went on, things went awry.
  She became violent, raging uncontrollably.
  Eventually she came after me.
  And we've been locked in combat ever since.

• Using Talk Prompt
  We seem to be at a standstill. The wounds we exchange are never lethal.
  I was born of my master's madness. Perhaps this is some curse.
  I will be sure to assist you in return.

• Using Talk Prompt
  The past is a distant fog…
  My name was Tark… That is all that I remember…

• After defeating Najka
  You've defeated my better half.
  This is my thanks. Take it.

• Using Talk Prompt
  Long ago, there was a being with powers similar to ours.
  The creature took the form of a spider.
  But I don't know where it disappeared to.
  Perhaps it was seduced by madness.

• After defeating Freja
  What skill. You've defeated my master.
  But our master never dies, only changes form, so that he may seethe for all eternity.
  Brave human, you have yet to face your greatest perils.
  Take these. May joy await you at the end of your travels.

• Using Talk Prompt
  I have no gods to pray to.
  But still I pray that your journey will be safe.

• When attacked
  Hrgkt! (no caption)
  What are you doing!
  Have you been enslaved by madness? (aggroed)
  You wretched human! (50% HP)

• When killing the player
  Foolish human…

• Returning after defeat
  The mad will never be forgiven.

• When killed
  Arrggh... (no caption)
