I wish there were quest-locked ways to end certain boss encounters in Elden Ring that didn't necessary involve killing them. Trade me the last 10% of their HP bar for a get-out-of-killing them-jail-free card.
If I have it, then let me give Miquella's Needle to Midra. Let me end his long vigil; let him rest after enduring for so long at Nanaya's request.
If I have entered the Erdtree, let me tell Messmer where his mother is. Maybe he will go kill the Elden Beast for me, just to release her. Maybe I trade him a Blessing of Marika, apologizing that no one can craft any more.
Let me lull Malenia into a healing sleep with a Lulling Branch or five, or perhaps Thiollier's Concoction. Let me grant her the peace of sleep that St. Trina may have, had Miquella returned.
