Interesting side note: Frampt seemingly hates dragon slayers. He'll only give you 1 soul if you feed him Ornstein's for example.

Wait are you sure about that? I thought it was the soul of Smough that Frampt disliked.
He also hates Seath and anything crystal, and seems rather cool towards Artorias. Anything worn by a woman he'll pay a premium for, because he's a dirty old serpent.

( For future reference, you can tell real chests and mimics apart from their chains. If you can't see the chain, attack. If you see the right-side chain bulge in a u-shape, it is safe. If it is n-shaped, it is a mimic. Attack every chest until you can compare so you can stay on the safe side until that time )

Don't do it, souls are literally negligible. It doesn't matter if you lost 100,000 souls or 1,000,000 souls, it hurts and burns, but you can get it back. Don't delete your save, that is dumb.

Don't do this. If you really feel underpowered, go rest at the first Anor Londo bonefire, then go fight the giant sentinels. Their are six of them, with ranged they can be pulled individually, and they give 1.5k souls each. While not nearly the fastest grinding in the game, that's 9k souls for all six, and you can respawn them really easily.

Either find your way down to the bottom of Sen's (optional, not recommended unless you have the Rusted Iron Ring) or find a way to keep going up.

I have to admit I did delete my first character, but that's only because I was pissed that I used the first two Firekeeper Souls I found before I found out what to do with them. Not that I thought the game was over or anything, but I knew I'd get pissed off again every time I thought about it, so I needed something different.

I think I know where you are being tripped up a bit. You have to run against the boulder that comes down, not with it down to the mimic. At least now that you already got everything that is down there.

You can chance just running straight up, if you have light load, you should be able to *just* make it, but if you have medium load, you can go nearly all the way up and drop off to the side when the boulder comes (listen, don't see) and you can land on a little platform with a snakeman and two rooms. One of them should at least give you a semblance of progress.

Go up, however you manage that, you want to go up in Sen's.

Alternatively, if for some reason you find yourself in the hallway that leads to the mimic. Why not sit around for awhile and watch the boulders roll into that hole?

Or he could take the elevator up from the mimic room that gets him to the central boulder path, which will be safe, and run up that.

Well through a series of very unlikely events and an insane amount of luck I somehow managed to find and kill the giant who opened the gate. Don't think that gets me anywhere important but it was fun.

My worst loss was 150k after farming the painted world for a bit. Died twice on my way out due to my own sloppy play. I wasn't exactly happy with that one.

Titanite chunks are not the most common of upgrade materials, so that's a plus for you at least.

That one's pretty amusing. Falling to the bottom of the tar pits, rolling around to get away from all the Titanite Demons, and suddenly you find an invisible wall with a ridiculous ladder and an enemy but not the way out that you wanted to find.

Yep this is exactly what happened.

I've made it onto the battlements where another giant threw bombs at me and then got careless during a fight with a big shield knight and let him smash me. It's a long walk back but at least I know the route now and each run gets a bit easier.

While learning the parkour route through Sen's is certainly useful, there is comfort ahead at the top level. Might wanna check out broken parts of the railings.

Hey, just as a word of advice. When you get to the battlements and are heading upward. You might have noticed one flat area where a dead body with an item on it is. You might also notice that the battlements are broken there, and their is a gap you could fall off from. I might suggest you try dropping off that, never know what will happen.

So I have to ask, what is the general consensus when it comes to weapon enchantments?

Like, which weapons should I turn +15 and which ones should I give fire or lightning?

The answer will largely turn on whether you're going to put levels into str/dex. If you're only going to put in enough to wield the weapon without getting a failure animation, go elemental. If you're going to put in more than that, go +15. Additionally, weapons with high base damage aren't hurt as much by the damage split as ones with low base damage are.
