The merchant would leave the Church of Elleh to travel all across the Lands Between, with his search eventually landing him in the Subterranean Shunning-Grounds beneath Leyndell where the Three Fingers reside. While Melina typically advises the Tarnished protagonist to resist joining the Three Fingers and possessing the Frenzied Flame, Kalé's cut questline would have put an entirely new perspective on this scena

Thoroughly exploring The Lands Between is already a massive time commitment, and doing it thrice so that everyone in the party can have all the loot becomes tedious.

The first merchant that the Tarnished will likely meet is Kalé, a friendly salesman who resides in the Church of Elleh. Upon meeting him Merchant Kalé will sell useful items like armor, crafting cookbooks and notes that provide hints about certain areas or mechanics. The helpful figure will also provide basic information about his nomadic race, the Lands Between and how to initiate Blaidd's questline.

Elden Ring has proven to be incredibly popular, and while the active player base has dwindled recently alongside many completing the game (or giving up), FromSoftware's titles typically retain a smaller, dedicated multiplayer community. Many flock to PvP, and will engage in duels outside the gate to the Academy of Raya Lucaria, but other longterm players also climb through many new game plus tiers both solo and in co-op.
