"Oh, your head's square on your shoulders, is it? I thought that clamouring tin can was the last, but here we go again. What is it you want from this old stone-humped hag? I've nothing for you, not a smithereen. I just like to stand here, and take in the view."
"I have business with you"
"Well, that came out of nowhere. You think an old stone-humped hag would be brimming with goodies? I've none of that, not a smithereen."
Talk
"Strange little lass, you are. What on earth do you see in me?"
"Strange little lad, you are. What on earth do you see in me?"
Selecting "Talk" option
"At the close of the Age of Fire, all lands meet at the end of the earth. Great kingdoms and anaemic townships will be one and the same. The great tide of human enterprise, all for naught. That's why I'm so taken by this grand sight. This must be what it's like to be a god."
"Oh, if you just can't stop yourself, at least hear this. Far below, there's a deep, dark hole carved out of a tree. From time to time, voices brim from the depths of the cavity even now. Mutterings of the very demon that Prince Lorian spoke of, I'm sure. Horrible sounds, of an afflicted thing yet cursing men."
Selecting "Inquire about the Ringed City" option (when available)
"Why, where did you hear that name, love? Oh, it doesn't matter. I'll tell you what I know. The Ringed City is said to be at world's end. Past this heap of rubbish, as far as one can go. But you'd better think twice. The forsaken Ringed City was walled off by the gods to contain the pygmies. ...and the dark soul is better left well alone."
"Ahh, yes, it's just what you'd guess. Legend says that the Ringed City lies at the end of the earth. This heap of everything, you're looking right at it. But be warned. The pygmies were exiled to the Ringed City. And no one should go near the dark soul."
Selecting "Talk" option after inquiring about the Ringed City
"You're not willing to reconsider, are you? Well, that's just fine. It's a rare thing, to have a true duty. Don't go and take it for granted, I suppose. Won't do any better than this, not you or that poor tin can."
Upon player leaving
"Keep your marbles intact, love. At least until I lose mine."
Upon player leaving (after inquiring about the Ringed City)
"Don't run off and die, love. It's a nicer view with you in it."
When you see that tin can, pass the word along. I'm afraid he's a little too brave for his own good. Don't run off and die, love. It's a nicer view with you in it.
Death
"...My time has come, has it? Well, maybe I'll get to see an angel."
Notes[]
The player will find the Old Woman's Ashes at her location after reaching the Filianore's Rest bonfire.
When the Stone-humped Hag dies after reaching Filianore's Rest, a non-hostile Angel will spawn in the sky above the initial area of the Dreg Heap. It will attack the player if attacked, but loses hostility once line of sight is broken for a few seconds.
Trivia[]
The ashes she drops show her wearing the Priestess Ring which is for the High Priestess of Lothric, as well as the Wet Nurse. In addition she was present in Lothric when Prince Lorian was alive[2] Thus it is possible that she is Emma or that she was the previous High Priestesses of Lothric.
The kingdoms and townships referred to are actually part of the Dreg Heap itself: most of the level is comprised of the ruins of Lothric, while there is one area that is visible (but cannot be visited) once the roots of the great tree in the swamp are climbed and the horizon zoomed in: the ruins of the Undead Settlement can be seen in the distance, between two sections of rubble.
