Manscorpion Tark in the ruins
NPC · Dark Souls II

The male half-human, half-scorpion in the Shaded Ruins is a friendly NPC, not Najka or a hostile monster. Equip the Ring of Whispers to understand him. Exhausting his dialogue enables his summon sign near Najka's fog gate. This marker is Tark himself in the ruins, not that summon sign. Position is approximate.
