Sending out Greirat after final boss.

[Big Baloney]

Okay, so I just sent out Greirat on his first run, but I have already completed the game. Will he ever return? I really want that Zweihander...

What I know is that if you tell unbreakable patches the second time you send him out he most likely will kill him. You also most likely need to save Onion knight at the Deep Church. Because he says that dude saved him.

Third time will kill him, doesn't seems to be a way to stop so far.

Actually
If you buy Seigwards armor off him and give it to Seigward, then he doesnt save him, Seigward does.
If you dont buy the armor, then Patches uses it to save Greirat if you tell him where he is when he goes to irithyll.

Patches actually likes Greirat, kill Greirat and Patches turns hostile.

i know that. but that wasnt the question of the tc. my geirat is alive and well after his 2nd trip :)

If you want a Zwei for NG+, I could nab one from my Greirat and give it to you. He's still alive in my world, but we'd have to meet at Anor Londo.

Another kind soul already brought me a Zweihander, so I'm good for now. But thanks for the offer :)

So far enemy stronger but dont the boss get buff for they do same dmg even less dmg from when i did play 1 time thats Why i ask

I love the DK series, but this is the one thing I don't care for... You need a second sight or need to read walkthroughs in order to know how to progress through each NPCs storyline. There's needs to be more queues to the player as to how to handle certain NPCs. You can't just provide an option to send an NPC out and then kill him. It makes no sense.

Looks like there is an option to keep him alive. Solution is to clean all Lothric Castle npc/guards/knights/dragons (and maybe end questline with Siegward so kill Yhorm too) and only AFTER that send Greirat to scavenge Lothric Castle. So now - he will return alive. (*no one actually shure what triggers his death/alive, but there are players who saved him from his third run, so death is not only option).

Many peoples can confirm that... I play NG+4 right now and trying save him 3/3 times :)

Killed all npcs that can die by story

[Earanak]

All Agro-NPC in location near "Greirat Corpse" (Grand Archives), like "Crystal Sage", And 3xNPC (Warrior/Mage/Samurai with Hat). It should be tested...

Most important things for saving Grierat the second time:
-Make sure you save Onion Knight from the well at Cathedral of the Deep.
-Make sure you DO NOT light any bonfires in Irithyll Dungeon both before saving Onion from the well at Cathedral of the Deep, and having Grierat return from the second scavenge, otherwise Onion will skip the kitchen at Irithyll of the Boreal Valley and/or not be there to save Grierat because he goes straight to the Dungeons.
-Make sure when you see Onion in the kitchen, you do not talk to him until after you send Grierat out and after Grierat returns.

So the order is:
-Save Onion Knight from the well in the Cathedral of the Deep (DO NOT light any Irithyll Dungeon Bonfire yet!).
-Check to see if Onion is in the kitchen above the sewers in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. DO NOT talk to him (or he will move to Irithyll Dungeon and Grierat will die), just make sure he is there.
-Send Grierat on his second scavange.
-Kill a boss.
-Make sure Grierat has returned to Firelink.
-You're now safe to talk to Onion Knight in the Kitchen and/or go to Irithyll Dungeon and light a bonfire.

The third scavange is still under speculation.

yes, we know how to save him. but what OP is asking is:

he has finished the game, ready to go into NG+ and presumably killed all bosses (optional included). this means that greirat, if sent to pillage AFTER killing every boss, will not return, or so it seems. he (and i) are woindering how to get him back after finishing the game and without going to NG++ (which i did anyway)

[Ǵ̶͓̂͑lí̴̤̀̄́tcĥ̸]

Oh, yeah then he can't. Reading through the comments just now it seems he's been told why. No more bosses available to have the rat return.

[TheMetalCorpser]

The first time he will come back. The second adventure you send him out on he will only survive if you have been doing Catarina's questline in junction. The third time will always kill him and you can find his corpse somewhere forget where.

EDIT: Hm some have stated he has survived the 3rd scavange hunt so I can't be sure if he has a scripted death or not during that.

"The conditions for his safe return are unclear as of yet, but he survived when being sent AFTER the two dragons had been defeated and the Consumed King's Garden location had been fully cleared."

Anyone feel like testing this?

This is not 100% accurate - I still saved him and my order was:
- Saved Onion
- Sent out Greirat
- Talked to Onion in Kitchen until he left
- Killed a boss
- Greirat returned saying the onion had saved him
