A shrewd, distrustful man who immediately suspects the Hunter as being an outsider. His distrust is so deep that he actually goes to the opposite safe haven suggested by the Hunter. Sending him to Iosefka's Clinic will trigger a move to Oedon Chapel, and vice-versa.
The Narrow Minded Man will listen to the Hunter after sending Arianna to either Iosefka's Clinic or Oedon Chapel. If he moves to the Chapel, he can be talked to, although he will not provide any real assistance or useful advice.
You... you're not from around here are ya? An outsider who's come to join the hunt? What a pathetic idea. You what? What, you think I'm a beast? Well, maybe I think you're a beast. And step away from my castle!
Oh, enough of you... What, you think this is funny?
Well I certainly don't. So be gone with ya! I'll have nothing to do with your beast hunts.
Talk again
Oh, enough with you already. Come on, just go, will ya?
Talk to him after telling Arianna about a safe place
What's this two-bit nonsense you're peddlin'? I heard you told that wench about some shelter. Well, she's a damn fool to trust an outsider. Why? Her sort's probably just fixin' to thieve some of your coin.
Talk again
All right, what crafty lies does the outsider have today?
You think I'm an easy mark? Yeah? Well, give me your best shot.
Refuse to tell
What, afraid your lies will be exposed? Yeah, I knew you'd back off, I just knew it. Yeah, an outsider, you may be, but at least you know when you're bested! Hah hah hah!
Talk again
All right, what crafty lies does the outsider have today? You think I'm an easy mark? Yeah? Well, give me your best shot.
Talk again
You just can't help yourself, can ya? Go on then, fine. Go on, tell me all about it, your little safe haven, hah hah...
Tell him about the safe place
Yeah sorry, too sharp for that bollocks. I know a superstition when I hear one. Outsiders... even their lies are predictable.
Talk again after telling him of a safe place
What? Still preying on folks with your book of lies? Yep, fine, come on. Show me what you've got. Tell me about your little safe place.
Ah, you, the swindlin' offcomer. Did you really think that'd work? There's no fooling me! Now, off with ya, you heard me! Go away! I can't stand the stench of your lyin' breath!
Talk again
Ohh, give it a rest, please. I've no time
for your petty lies. Awa- just go away, now! I can't stand the stench of your lyin' breath.
I'll spare you one nugget of advice. Beware the blind man. There, the beggar sits, at the bottom of the bloody food chain... ...and then he's here, acting like he owns the place...
He's not to be trusted. What's he want with all those people anyway? That little weasel has a murky past, I'm tellin' ya.
I'll spare you one nugget of advice. Beware the lady of the night. I can see it in her eyes... She deeply resents the young saint. She hears people whisper, she knows what people think of her.
Yes... She despises the saint for having what she doesn't. Bloody wench, they shoulda moved her ages ago.
Talk again
Ahh, your lies spin a web, but I see through your deceit! I did not learn from books. No, no, no, no, no... I learned it all with my own mind...
Notes[]
If the player does not rescue him before defeating Rom, he, along with other NPCs that have not been rescued, will become unavailable for the rest of the game.
There is no major quest or items associated with the Narrow Minded Man.
Trivia[]
It is heavily implied that he is also a drunk, as once he is dead, he drops 3 Pungent Blood Cocktails.
It is interesting to note that the man's 'advice' to the Hunter is just as contrarian and opposite as his actions after being told of a safe haven:
He dislikes the Oedon Chapel Dweller and states that he isn't to be trusted, despite the Dweller actually having no ill-intent and being gentle and kind.
In a similar to how his advice about Arianna is correct but aimed at the wrong person, his advice about the Chapel Dweller may be intended to be a warning against the Suspicious Beggar, as both of them are blind beggars with a murky past
He states that Arianna "deeply resents" Sister Adella and that she "despises the saint for having what she doesn't". However, this is actually the opposite, as it is Adella who is resentful and jealous of Arianna, even going as far as to kill her later on in the game, if certain conditions are met.
