Elden Ring - What Happened To Rogier?
Elden Ring has a number of friendly characters, most being in the Roundtable Hold. One of the more polite and soft-spoken of these characters is Rogier. The first place players can meet him is in the chapel of Stormveil Castle, and after defeating Godrick the Grafted, Rogier moves into the Roundtable Hold.
However, players may be quick to notice that something is amiss with Rogier. He mentions he cannot fight anymore, nor do much of anything in his current state. As the game progresses, he mentions that he is going to fall into a deep sleep. At a certain point, he dies where he was sitting, and players can take his things. Elden Ring does not go into detail as to why Rogier died, though (especially if the player has not gone under Stormveil Castle).

The major answer to how Rogier died is in a hidden area of Stormveil Castle. The hidden area is a basement, and there is an optional boss of an Ulcerated Tree Spirit, but that is not the key to Rogier's condition. Instead, the answer lies at the very bottom where there is a warped and deflated-looking giant face. Among the marks of player deaths will actually be Rogier, he will be seen getting Death Blight.
As for what the face is and why it gave Rogier Death Blight, it is believed that his face is part of the corpse of Godwyn, the demigod who was assassinated in the Night of the Black Knives. He is also called the Prince of Death because he was the first of Those Who Live in Death and is their creator, as his body was buried and corrupted the Erdtree roots so that some souls cannot rejoin with the Erdtree and are stuck in a living-death-like state. This corpse is also what gave rise to Deathroot.
