Skeptical Man | Bloodborne Wiki

just so you know, if you accidentally told him to go somewhere you didn't mean for him to go you can just speak to him again and correct your decision before you either die/reload the area/exit the game. It's your only chance though

Think I found a glitch on this guy. Saved Arianna some time ago and after getting to forbidden woods back entrance to iosefkas clinic, didn't kill the impostor, went back through save him, he wasn't there. It was the guy who gives you the tonsil stone.

kindest englishman

Submit

Since he always says the opposite of what is true then that implies that he loves the smell of our breath and he wants us to stay close to him.

Submit

This guy does litterally noting but be an *******, no questline or anything, it's great

Submit

I, as a virtuous and well-meaning individual who wants to save the people of Yharnham, am always truthful in telling him where to go. I can't be blamed for what happens if he's too much of a paranoid xenophobic idiot to not listen to someone trying to help him.

QUESTION
i found arianna and she's at the ward now. i did not find the skeptical man yet. the imposter iosefka is dead. will i have some option where to send him? what will happen if he arrives at an empty clinic?

Submit

Even though he's an enormous turd-burglar I can't help but like the guy. He's such a massive, unapologetic dolt that he circles around from being a prick to being likeable, somehow. He probably just didn't believe his neighbor when they said Opposite Day ended last week

Submit

This guy could have a staring contest with a winter lantern and win

Submit

Submit

darn I wanted to save him by asking him to go to the chapel,but he is too wise to not trust me and became an alien octopus,I can't even claim the reward as I attacked the impostor before to avenge losefka

Submit

I told him of Oedon Chapel after killing the imposter and he still turned into an alien?

Submit

This guy looks kinda like Eustace from Courage. Even acts like him

Submit

This guy has like negative Insight

Submit

I used to hate this guy, but now he's good for a quick laugh.

Submit

If this Guy is supposed to always Go to the opposite place you Tell him how the heck doesn't He know that impostor Iosefka is working on creating the Blue man group with people Like him? I mean, wouldn't He be sceptic?

Submit

On my last playthrough I lied to him to get him to go to the chapel, then I murdered Adella in front of everyone at the chapel so she wouldn’t kill Ariana, only so I could kill Ariana and her child later on. Then I ended up killing him and everyone else. So I really just proved him right lol

Submit

If he was chosen to be a hunter instead, the great ones would be immediately destroyed by him just refusing to think they might exist

Submit

The most based person in Yharnam.

Submit

The Eustace Bagge's of Bloodborne. I swear, this man could stare at Winter Lanterns and stand in the light of the Brain of Mensis and not be affected.

Submit

I read a theory that the reason he's the only Oedon Chapel character who doesn't succumb to the insight is because he's so sceptical of even the eldritch truth around him that he can't gain insight. this dude is legit the most sane character in Bloodborne SIMPLY because he's too thick to acknowledge anything outside of his own world view. what a king.

Submit

If I tell him to go to the chapel without having the clinic as an option is he going to die or can I still get him to go to the chapel after discovering the clinic?

Submit

Crestfallen yharnamite

Submit

(commentary on youtube skeptic community here.....)

Submit

Damn, he's a true pain in the a** goddamit

Submit

He's talking about the chapel dweller, not the suspicious beggar. It's obvious from the "acting like he owns the place" line and the fact that he mentions a beggar regardless of whether or not the suspicious beggar is at the chapel.

Submit

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but he appears to be the only NPC that you can direct to a safe place multiple times before reloading the area. Most NPC's will take your advice, and then upon talking to them again, will simply thank you without restating the question. The Skeptical Man, however, will ask the same question a second time, so if you messed up by telling him to go to Oedon Chapel (which will send him to Iosefka's Clinic), you can talk to him again and tell him to go to Iosefka's Clinic. You can do this indefinitely until you reload the area and he makes his move, and as far as I can tell, he always goes to the opposite location of your last suggestion.

Submit

His advice regarding the Blind Man refers to the Oedon Dweller not the Suspicious Beggar, as this advice can be heard even if the Beggar was killed or sent to 'Iosefka' without ever going near the chapel. So all his advice is lies.

Submit

i thought oh cr*p he does the opposite of what you tell him, reading that he does'nt provide with much i am relieved, i have no plans on going NG+ so try to make the best out of my playthrough

Submit

On his window, now the only one talk is patches the spider.. what should I do?

Submit

I told him to go to the chapel and he went there... Wiki seems untrustworthy.

Submit

As much as the NMM/Skeptical man says, heed his advice on the beggar,

Submit

Weirdly enough, even though what he says is lies, his advice about the blind man is actually really useful.

Submit

is it really strange that i somehow managed to get the tonsil stone from the narrow minded man? i mean, i didn't have access to forbidden woods yet so it threw me off when he gave a different toned dialogue and gave me it. Wasn't the one guy in forbidden woods the only way to get tonsil stone?

Submit

the only civillian NPC who remains Sane up until the end of the game

Submit

"Ah, your lies spin a web, but I see through your deceit. I did not learn from books. No, no, no! I learned it all with my own mind." This random dude just goes ahead and blurts the entire point of the game, lol.

Submit

Never knew this guy existed till now

Submit

I completed this game a bunch of times since last year and I have never once known about this guy, lol.

Submit

So I didn't know he could be rescued and I killed Iosefka before talking to him now when he ask me where to go the only option I have is Oedon chapel which if I tell him to go there he will go to the clinic, is there any way to avoid it? Even though he won't die since I killed Iosefka (I think)

Submit

what does he give you if sent to the church. i accidently sent him to the clinic.

Submit

I didn't unlock the ability to send survivors to Iosefka's clinic, can I still get him to go to the church? I'm guessing I can't just by withholding information?

Submit

i sended the ho to oeden, and then i sended this fella to oeden, and he is sitting there ever since. (still in ng, just going through all npc's i may have missed) so not to the clinic as this information said

Submit

Gascoigne's Daughter gets killed no matter what and this guy has the chance to live? ***** that.

Submit

I'd love to know more about tgis guy but sadly there is nothing i can find

Submit

Out of all the characters in the game he's my least favourite. He never develops, has no interesting storyline and constantly calls you a liar. You have to lie to him because he's such a halfwit just to keep him alive and he remains ungrateful like that old hag but at least she gets nicer ... kind of. Actually she scares me more so when she's kinder.

Submit

te ago Had something weird happen. i already had everyone at the Chapel (dweller Even Said so) and continued playing. After killing wet nurse i came back and the dweller told me about a new arrival. i wondered if she ment the hookers baby, but still looked for anyone new. the skeptical man now has a different voice that Sounds much more Kind and friendly. he still says the Same sentence though (he just dropped a some 'no's)

Submit

After sending the prostitute to chapel, his dialog starts by saying he overheard our convo, so I suggested the clinic and he rejected it; then suggested the chapel and he rejected it. Finally, with held the info option and he calls me a lier lol. i walked away, came back and tried to switch things around and still the same reaction, but when i traveled to the Hunter's Dream and back to the chapel, this dbag appears where I want him to be with the other suvivors. Bug?

Submit

I went to talk to him at his original spot after I defeated Vicar Amelia but there was no response.

Submit

If you tell him to go to the chapel, he will still go to iosefka's clinic even if you have never talked with iosefka and she hasn't asked you to bring in survivors. How would he even know about the clinic?

Submit

I think if you send someone to the clinic already he'll know and will refuse to go to the clinic.

Submit

***** him. Useless character. He adds nothing. I'll rape him with my greatsword next time around

Submit

So as i was playing in NG+ i sended him to clinic meaning he went to to the chapel. Old woman was there already and was starting to lose it. After i sent the prostitute and nun in, he stated how prostitute hates the nun and after i sent the beggar into the chapel, i went there and the skeptical man was nowhere to be found only 3 Pungent Blood Cocktails were in his place and blood splatters. Old woman weren't freaking out anymore and was actually nice and gave 6 Sedatives total when you poured your griefs to her. When i gave back from Hunter's Dream, old woman was gone and chair had a note stating that she'll be back.

Submit

At some point i went to the chapel and he was dead. There was blood spilled in the floor. I really don't remember if i cause any harm... What just happened??

Submit

he dropped 129 for me, NG, paleblood moon

Submit

... even If I´ve not been at Iosefka´s Clinic yet (I have only the chapel as an option to tell him) ?

Submit

Lame :(

Submit

He's just a tsunadere and can't bring himself to confess how much he loves the hunter!

Submit

anyone notice that? his face is pretty weird with the left side frowning and right side just neutral or maybe even half smiling.

Submit

Since he's skeptical he'll always go to the place you didn't mention. If you want him to go somewhere, talk about the other place and you'll have him where you want.

Submit

On my firstplaythrough I sent some people to the clinic and iosefka sounded nasty so I tried to get this guy killed by sending him there as well, but he totally saw through me there I guess some skepticism is justified lo

Submit

I tried like a million times to talk to him. I first helped Arianna and his dialogue changed, but everything he always told me was something like "Aahhh... help me!" or "I don't wanna die". And that was all! He never gave me the option to tell him where to go, and I tried and tried and tried and tried but nothing. I kept coming back later, but it was the same. Eventually, I think it was after I killed Rom, the game just said "No response"... wth I did wrong?

Submit

i need to trick the man into going to the cathedral ward but when i talk to him there is only one option. ive been to iosefkas clinic and opened the door but on the yharnam headstone it wont change name. so it leaves me eith only the cathedral ward to send the suspicious man. i cant do anything until this is fixed.
