Not to be confused with theUnalloyed Gold Needlein Millicent’s quest,Elden Ring’sGold Sewing Needlesounds similar but does something completely different (and is far easier to obtain). It is a particularly useful item for players that uselegendary boss armor. It also requires doing at least some ofBoc the Seamster’s quest.

Getting the needle is actually the most easy part, as it only takes a trip to theChurch of Vows. Using it is a whole other matter, asElden Ring’slegendary boss armor requires defeating legendary bosses like the Lord of Blood, Radahn, and Malenia. It is also important to know thatonly certain pieces of legendary boss armor can be usedwith the Gold Sewing Needle.

How To Get The Needle

The Gold Sewing Needle isin a chestby the altar at theChurch of Vows.The church sits in the eastern sideof Liurnia of the Lakes. It can be found by either following the road in eastern Liurnia or by taking a Waygate in the Raya Lucaria Academy. The Church of Vows is worth visiting for more than just the needle, but also to meetthe fan-favorite turtle NPC, Miriel.

At the church, players can also get Golden Tailoring Tools, and equipment such as Blessing’s Boon and the Carian Greatsword. Once the Needle is obtained from the chest, it is time to put it to use.

Note thatthe dialogue option to give Boc the needle will not pop up unless the Tarnished is wearing an unaltered piece of boss armor. Also remember that what Bocdoes to armor doesnot affect stats, but just the look of the armor. For example, it can give or remove a cape to Rahdan’s armor.
