Elysiume posted:Wait. Where should I be coming from? I'm above that ladder and want to get down; apparently there's a longbow somewhere around here. I also kind of want to fight the hydra. If you're coming to fight the hydra I would suggest coming down the tower with Havel so you can use the rock to the right to hide behind to block the ranged attack . If I remember correctly there should be a body with loot near the bridge but I don't remember if the longbow is on it.

So I'm running up against either the Catacombs or Sen's Fortress now, but I'm getting the feeling I should have something better than the Drake Sword I've been swinging around since I got enough strength to one-hand it. Any suggestions, or should I stick with what's been working for me so long?

KozmoNaut posted:The tips mostly suck rear end. Half the time when I am not sure where to go, there's a "Here!" pointing out a hard to see route (helped me out in the Tomb for sure). And when I was doing Crystal Caverns, there were signs everywhere helping out with the invisible walkways. Illusory walls are usually marked too by players. Sure there are a lot of useless ones, but there's been quite a few useful ones too.

GaistHeidegger posted:If I'm trying to locate all of the covenants in one playthrough, I have a question for the Darkwraiths: If I have already attained the lordvessel but have not talked to Framp at all--so it's still in my possession--and now proceed to defeat the four kings early, do I -have- to place the lordvessel where Framp's evil twin wants it -before- he offers for me to join the covenant (i.e. far enough to pop a trophy/achievement) or must I place it to even be given the option? I don't even want to join, I just want to get the trophy. In my experience, yes. Until you place the Lordvessel, all he'll do is repeatedly tell you to place the Lordvessel come on he doesn't have all day. I don't think it's possible to even get the Darkwraith trophy without "siding" with Kaathe first.

BattleHamster posted:I believe you can actually get it to +6. Kill 3 firekeepers, and then the 3 you find as well. Fair enough, we're talking about the same thing but I've only found three firekeepers so far. So there's a fourth? Or can I do it at the lordvessel or something?

tolaziforname posted:I don't understand how someone can not 100% an area, I always clear the whole area, all enemies, all doors, all items, before resting at a bonfire. If I don't I feel like some black knight will come backstab me It's because I beat Sen's on my third try without finding the bonfire. I just kept going, looking for one before I could backtrack, and before I knew it I was at the boss and killed him on my first try, so BOOM stuck in Anor Londo before I could even think about going back to clear it. How's that for manning up?

Spiffo posted:Fair enough, we're talking about the same thing but I've only found three firekeepers so far. So there's a fourth? Or can I do it at the lordvessel or something? The firekeepers I know of are: 1) The girl behind bars in Firelink. You'll get her soul (back) when you kill Lautrec, and you can choose to use it to reinforce your flask or to resurrect her, which re-lights the Firelink bonfire. 2) The woman in armor at the first bonfire of Anor Londo. Killing her breaks the Darkmoon covenant, I think. 3) I haven't killed him to check, but I think the guy on top of the church in New Londo is one. The three found souls are: 1) Church in the Undead Parish. Can't miss it. 2) I've heard this one is somewhere in Blight Town, but I haven't found it myself. 3) New Londo. Go right after the first set of ghosts and walk on a thin walkway to get it.

Hexempaler posted:I beat two of them without it. When I walked into the long hall area where the last two are my first thought was "haha no gently caress that." It's from going back to the asylum, you need the key from the roof of the priest/potted room in Firelink You can get to the bottom of Sens really easily by jumping down at the end of the first room. You'll see 3 of the snake/lizard casters, you can lunge kill one then kill the other 2 then drop down again. Sens is probably one of the easiest dungeons in the game imo. You only really need to kill like less than 10 creatures total. The last area is retarded easy. The game makes up for it though in the next area.

Yeah! Got uncursed, then my bro the white phantom and Lautrec helped me beat the Gaping Dragon. That's one easy rear end boss. First time I've ever seen it, I don't think either of us humans got touched. Lautrec died, though. He's no Solaire.

I can't be the only one disappointed by how low the damage on elemental weapons seems to be. I got the lightning spear from sen's, do mobs just all have really high elemental resistances? Also gently caress this part in Anor Londo with the two archers, I knew I should've bought fireball or something. I don't think I can get back to Firelink without finishing this place can I?

I think a lot of stuff in Anor has resistance to lightning. I didn't get the lightning spear  . You can get back by going back up the stairs past the bonfire where you started from. Just talk to the gargoyle sitting there.

You can leave Anor anytime, just go back to where you entered and talk to the gargoyle NPC. What is causing people such trouble with those archers? Shields block their arrows, they can't hit you if you're running up the buttress, and the only one you have to kill practically suicides himself when you get into melee range.

Where's Shiva? I've ranked up in the forest hunter covenant a bit and Alvina told me about him, and not to trust him or his buddy, but I don't see him anywhere around the forest. Come to think of it, the other guy that was out there before isn't there anymore either. And do you really have to break the covenant and kill his pal to get the acrobatics ring? Because I kind of want it, but don't know if I want the consequences. In related news, do you lose all progress in a given covenant if you move to a different one, even if you come back to it later? Because I know that the dragon head stone's firepower supposedly gets boosted based on your rank in the covenant and it would kind of suck to blow all the scales to get the body stone and then not retain your super-fire.

He is the only one that actually says anything to you. If he isn't there, then you may have triggered his move to Blighttown. Yes you lose all covenant progress if you switch away and come back.

That might be it, I was destroying the snake dudes in Sen's with the spear but I've only had a bit of issue with the guys in Anor. Right now I'm working my way through the painted world, a zone I randomly found out existed by looking at the painting.

Because I kind of want it, but don't know if I want the consequences. 1) They're in Blightown, on ground level near the ramp to the water wheel. 2) I can't say for certain as I haven't messed around with leveling Covenants too much, but I've heard that leaving a Covenant either reduces your effective turnins to half (e.g. you'd turned in 10 [items] then leave, rejoin and they treat you as if you'd turned in 5 [items]) or it reduces your Covenant level by one.

Yes you'll break the covenant if you attack them. Alvina will tell you to gently caress off and you won't be able to rejoin. The guide says that when you leave a covenant you lose one rank. If you want to build up rank make sure its in the covenant you want to stay in. E: Spoiler I guess. Also gently caress I keep getting beat.

Couple bits of new game+ info: flask upgrades carry over, but cap at +7. Trying to upgrade beyond that gives you a "cannot be further reinforced" message. Also, you can't equip duplicate rings, so no stacking item find rings or stamina regen rings.
