Nick is the only Wayfarer that is truly an NPC.

Nick is normally seen through the doorway at the end of the Chapter Select level, but leaves before the player even reaches the level-loading line. The only way to actually meet him is by going through the out of bounds area.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

If you haven't met any other players since you last opened the game, Nick's appearance defaults to that of a first-run Red Cloak with no Scarf and the "Snowflake" Symbol. Otherwise, he will look like your last companion, though his symbol might be different.

It's possible for Nick to start out meditating, and he may even have a sandy cloak.

Behavior[edit | edit source]

In normal gameplay, Nick will normally be spotted standing at the end of the hallway in the Chapter Select level, after Confluence. When the player gets close to the loading line for the Broken Bridge level, he'll walk away, through a bright wall of light, staying out of reach of the player.

Out of bounds, Nick normally stands still and will basically be unresponsive, though touching him will cause both him and the player to glow, and he will normally readjust his cloak if it gets crooked.

Depending on what the player has done, he will be in different areas:

  • If the player hasn't been through Confluence, Nick will be behind the west pillar, facing the wall. Normally, he'll be standing, though he might be meditating if you had a Companion.
  • If the player has been through Confluence but hasn't walked near the exit of the level, Nick will be standing more in the middle of the hallway, leaning toward the east side, facing the Shrine.
  • If the player has walked far enough through the gates for Nick to walk away, then he will be found outside the hall, standing at the edge of the flooring, where it becomes a ledge. He will be facing the Mountain.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Nick can be pushed around.

If pushed into a Windwall, his cloak might flutter, though he won't be pushed around by the winds.

With enough patience, it's possible to push Nick into bounds.
