Dialogue in Elden Ring: Kenneth Haight

Introduction

• "Ah, you've come to lend me your aid, have you?Well, that's very kind, but, um... No, no. Th-the help is very much appreciated. Even from a Tarnished.Despite appearances, nobility is no prerequisite to serving the true Order.You might have heard of me. Kenneth Haight. Next in line as the rightful ruler of Limgrave".

When attacked

• "Oof! Blast! You wretched Tarnished! I am Kenneth Haight, and I have seen quite enough!"
• (On player kill) "I fear for the integrity of the Order..."

When killed

• "Where are my...men...? O Erdtree, why have you forsaken me...?"

Quest

• "Young Tarnished, I would have a boon of you.I want you to take back my fort. It lies to the south, beyond the Mistwood.A Knight commander from Stormveil took it. A fool, and plumb mad to boot. Simply obsessed with blood!".

Recommendation

• "Hmph, yes, now allow me to furnish you with a little advice.I would take great care to avoid Godrick's Tarnished hunts, were I in your shoes. That depraved lot are obsessed with sacrificing Tarnished like you for the sake of "grafting. Honestly, Godrick's nothing more than a jumped up country bumpkin. Lord? Don't make me laugh.".

Small Talk

• "What are you waiting for? A kiss goodbye?My fort lies to the south, beyond the Mistwood. Take it back for me.Oh I see. You wish to know the reward?Fret not, the great Kenneth Haight is known for his considerable largesse.The celebrations will be lavish indeed, upon the dawn of my fort's retrieval".

^§On Godrick

• "Honestly, Godrick’s no more than a jumped up country bumpkin. Lord? Don’t make me laugh. First he hid himself amongst the womenfolk to flee the capital, then hid from Radahn in that castle… Then he insulted Malenia, lost to her in battle, only to lick her boots rather than die like a man. Has he no shame, the big girl’s blouse? And to think, he’s the blood of Godfrey! Last of the golden lineage, though you almost wouldn’t know it to look at him. I almost feel sorry for the chap the more I think of it."

Fort Haight Already Completed

• "Hm? What's this, kind sir? Remarkable! The Knight Commander, dead. Already! A blessing, if ever I chanced upon one. Fine work, I say, fine work, indeed. I doubt that it was your intention, but the deed is done, and I commend you. Now, this is your reward. Go on, it is yours for the keeping."
• "Right then. Time for me to head to the fort. I've much to do. First I'll have to reestablish communication with the demi-humans. What's that look? You don't believe me? Well, under the Erdtree, commingling with the demi-humans is made possible. Even the vulgar shall not be left behind, under the rule of true Order. Which is why I, Kenneth Haight, next in line as the rightful ruler of Limgrave, have sworn to uphold it. Just you watch, my friend. Just you watch."

Offer to Serve

• "Ah, yes. I've been meaning to ask. Would you like to enter my service? I see bright things in your future, stout warrior. Enter into my service and learn the workings of the Erdtree's true Order. And who knows, perhaps some time down the line, the grace of gold will return to those Tarnished eyes of yours. What say you? A fine accord, is it not?"
• "Very well. Very well, indeed. I knew I saw something in you. I shall await you at my fort. We shall hold the ceremony for your knighting there, I think. I see great things ahead of us. We are truly by the Erdtree blessed."

At Fort Haight

• "Ah, you, is it? I suppose you must have seen by now, yes, the sorry state of my fort? Oh, indeed, it is a foul fate for a land, to be without a ruler. One must be found, with haste. And not that Awful Godrick. But a true and stalwart Lord of the proper lineage to take the reigns of Limgrave. I am sorry for have lifted your hopes... But I haven't the authority to raise you to the knighthood as things stand. The Great Kenneth Haight issues his sincerest apology. But now, I must begin my search post-haste. For a true and stalwart Lord of the proper lineage to take the reigns of Limgrave."

At Stormveil Castle throne room (after Nepheli Loux has been given Stormhawk King)

• Ah, nice to see you after so long. Safe and sound, I take it, yes? Good. Ah, quite. I have indeed selected a new ruler. Lady Nepheli is strong and just. Worthy of the burden of Limgrave's lineage. Such is the sincere opinion of I, Kenneth Haight, no less. For the time being, I share command of the castle with my Lady, but I plan on returning to my fort afterwards. At which time I can fulfil my old promise. By raising you to the glory of knighthood. I hope it is just as wonderful as you imagine.
