Notable Info
First Encounter
Your first meeting with Gostoc is a difficult one to miss, since you’ll hear him calling out to you as you head to the left of the main gate of Stormveil Castle, shortly after defeating Margit. He’ll direct you towards an alternative passage into the castle, although he will offer to open the main gate should you feel daring enough. Outside of this, Gostoc seems to be completely harmless upon first impressions…
Second Encounter
As you explore Stormveil Castle, you’ll eventually reach the courtyard and from there, you’ll be able to enter the room where you can raise the main gate (if it’s not already open). There’s a hole you can drop down in this room to find yourself back at Gostoc and upon speaking to him, he’ll reveal his surprise that you’re still alive. At this point, he agrees to sell his wares to you, of which you can purchase the Bandit equipment that cannot be purchased elsewhere:

Second Encounter
Once you finally defeat Godrick in the north of Stormveil Castle, you’ll find Gostoc in the same area, stamping on the remains of Godrick in disgust. Speak with him to hear about his feelings and he’ll remark that he’s finally free. Gostoc remains here for a vast majority of the game at this point, and although you can kill him so that you can obtain Gostoc’s Bell Bearing, it will lock you out of another reward.
Final Encounter
Once you’ve seen both Nepheli Loux and Kenneth Haight’s Quests to their conclusion and have reached Crumbling Farum Azula, Gostoc will move to the throne room with Nepheli Loux and Kenneth and agree to sell you an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone for 20,000 Runes.
