This dataminer has uncovered a deleted NPC quest in Elden Ring
Prolific dataminer Lance McDonald has discovered a deleted NPC questline in Elden Ring.
According to McDonald, if you visited Stormhill Shack – which had previously been known as Scavenger’s Shack and is today the location where you’ll meet Roderika – during the network test, it was empty. Before that test, however, it looks like it was the home to an unknown NPC called Monk Jigo.

As spotted by PC Gamer, Jigo had been “seduced by the good lady alcohol” and needed your help to gather the ingredients for Dreambrew, a magical booze that, shared with other NPCs, would unlock bonus dialogue.
McDonald also maintains that this explains why the game initially had non-combative sleeping animals hidden all over the world, as it was from them The Tarnished could draw off “Dream Mist” as one of the ingredients for the supernatural liquor.
