Can you kill Yurt in his cage?

Answered by Jason Smith

It is possible to kill Yurt while he is still in his cage. Yurt is a character in Demon’s Souls who can be found in the Tower of Latria, specifically in the Fool’s Idol Archstone. He is initially trapped in a cage and can be released by the player.

Once Yurt is released, he becomes an NPC who offers his services as a murderer for hire. He will kill other non-hostile NPCs in the Nexus, the central hub area of the game. However, if the player kills Yurt before he has a chance to make any kills, they can prevent him from causing further harm.

To kill Yurt in his cage, you need to approach him and attack him until he is defeated. It’s important to note that Yurt is a formidable opponent and can be quite challenging to defeat, especially if you encounter him early on in the game. He wields a powerful scythe and has a significant amount of health, so it’s advisable to come prepared with strong weapons and armor, as well as healing items.

It’s worth mentioning that killing Yurt in his cage will have consequences. If you kill him before he has a chance to make any kills, you will miss out on certain events and interactions that would have occurred if he had been allowed to live. Additionally, Yurt drops unique armor and weapons upon his death, so if you want to obtain these items, it’s necessary to defeat him.

In my personal experience, I chose to kill Yurt in his cage during one of my playthroughs of Demon’s Souls. I had read about the consequences of allowing him to roam free and decided that it was best to eliminate him early on to prevent any potential harm to other NPCs.

I found the fight with Yurt to be quite challenging, as he had a wide range of attacks and could deal significant damage. However, with careful dodging and patience, I was able to defeat him and prevent him from causing any further harm. The satisfaction of overcoming such a formidable foe and protecting the innocent NPCs in the Nexus was rewarding.

It is possible to kill Yurt while he is still in his cage in Demon’s Souls. By doing so, you can prevent him from becoming a murderer for hire and causing harm to other non-hostile NPCs in the Nexus. However, it’s important to consider the consequences of this action, as it will affect certain events and interactions in the game.
