Route overview
Goose starts as a Master-Key rescue, opens the Soul Bank, then leaves after a princess resolution. The correct reunion choices recruit her; ignoring the initial rescue creates Golden Goose instead.
Before you start
- Bring a Master Key to the pen on Behemoth Ranch map 3.
- Free Goose before the Prayer Master's shop reaches stage 4 if preserving the companion route.
- Deposit at least 1,000 souls before triggering a princess covenant or kill, which starts the disappearance event.
What closes the route
- Leaving Goose trapped until shop stage 4 transforms her into Golden Goose.
- Choosing “Forgive” at the Sea of Trash reunion makes her leave permanently and later die in Lost Empire.
- The bank disappearance needs both a princess resolution and at least 1,000 deposited souls.
Encounter order
| When | Where | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Early route | Behemoth Ranch map 3 pen | Use the Master Key to free Goose; she opens the Soul Bank in Holy Forest east. |
| After first princess resolution | Holy Forest west entrance | Enter the bank map from the west after depositing at least 1,000 souls; confirm Goose has disappeared. |
| Reunion | Abandoned tent, Sea of Trash map 1 northeast | Choose “Do not forgive” three times, then “Stay by my side” to recruit her. |
| Ending branch | Cinderella's throne fog | Raise Goose to 99 and select her. |
| Golden Goose branch | Original ranch pen | Leave her imprisoned until shop stage 4 or later, then fight the transformed Goose. |

Why this character matters
The Goose storyline combines a personal ending with the rarer Golden Goose fight. As with Jeanne and Catherine, the difference in completion rates indicates a branch rather than a mandatory boss on every ending attempt.
The Golden Goose motif continues in BLACK SOULS II's collectible tales, where the series turns the original comic fairy tale into another bleak cross-game reference.
Plan this route
- Bring the Master Key route to Behemoth Ranch and record the first Goose meeting before advancing too far.
- Keep a branch save before choosing between the personal-ending path and the Golden Goose fight.
- Use a developed mid-to-late-cycle build if the boss achievement is part of the run.
