Anyone know if you join a new covenant after becoming a darkwraith, can you go back to the abyss and rejoin?

What level are people usually at the (New Londo spoilers) Four Kings boss I'm level 36 and I'm wondering if I should even bother becoming human before running down there

I wouldn't even try to take them on at that low of a level. You can probably get through the area ok though. Get through Anor Londo first before you try to take on that boss.

DeathSandwich posted:I wouldn't unless you are only doing it to pick up magic weapon. Using sorcery when your int is poo poo is akin to throwing snowballs at them. There is also like maybe 1 good weapon that scales passibly to both int and str. Sorcery is something best taken as a more purist int based character.

Agh. I am unclear how to answer Laurentius. I want him to teach me pyromancies, but his last question was "unless you find magic unsavory." So do I answer "No" for "I don't find it unsavory" or "Yes" for "Please teach me?"

Guess they've never ran into the peaceful walk miracle before because every time they try and roll and I just mash them into the ground with my Zweihander of death. Zweihander: gently caress subtlety. It's not useful for every encounter, but man it kicks rear end. Or crushes it into a fine paste.

Bland posted:As far as I can tell the painted world is a refuge for Priscilla, who is a half breed between (I'm speculating here but it makes sense visually) Seath and someone from whatever race the Gwyn family are. Since she's kind of a freak it would make sense that some forces would want her dead, hence the executioner and being hidden away in a dangerous world. I don't know why the doll is in your cell but I'd imagine it's linked to you being a descendant of the "dark lord" in some way. There's probably more to it than that. The painted world is just flavour for the setting and it's nice that there's some fleshed out optional areas in my opinion. I actually really liked the place and loved that they put such a well made, essentially completely optional, area into the game that had a level of detail that was on par with everywhere else. I just wish there was some reason for it being there, some sort of small plot hole that was never explained in the main story and the answer was found there but you could miss it entirely if you didn't know that the place existed and still get a complete story out of the game. It's like you're playing Dark Souls, and all of a sudden you go on this weird little acid trip where nothing really makes sense or has a rhyme or reason, but at the end of the trip the nice lady says you really shouldn't be here and that you have to go home now, and you wake up in the church in Anor Londo with a pounding headache surrounded by a bunch of men in dresses who want to stick their knives in you.

How does one pick up treasure that runs away? I smashed a barrel and a little robotic/bunny thing that was blue and glowy started to run away. Do you have to beat it over the head to pick it up?

Do you have to beat it over the head to pick it up? Those are crystal lizards and you need to kill them before they run away and disappear. Stand where it spawns, quit and load your game and it should be by your feet for an easy kill. It's worthwhile because they drop twinkling titanite and sometimes other chunks/slabs of titanite.

Urgan posted:How does one pick up treasure that runs away? I smashed a barrel and a little robotic/bunny thing that was blue and glowy started to run away. Do you have to beat it over the head to pick it up? You found a crystal lizard. Once you aggro it, it will run a short distance away and then taunt you and burrow underground. Kill it for shards for upgrading your weapons. How they work is there is an internal counter for each one. It starts at 1, and goes up by 1 for every major boss you kill (Has a life bar). When you kill it, subtract 1 from the counter. If the counter gets to 0 the lizard will not respawn, regardless of how many bosses you kill. A nice change to these from Demon's souls, is that the counter no longer goes down if the lizard gets away without you killing it. For best results, if you know that one comes out of a barrel, leave it alone until the end of the game, and come back and farm it for a ton of shards.

You should have gotten the head stone from joining.

Emron posted:It's been a really long time since I've seen a game actually get a lot of these "you can get the big sword from that one boss if you get it to 10% health and let it live" or "you can get a super-secret O_O ending if you do this ________" sort of rumors. As in, like, OoT was the last time. Finding out about or fighting the Pygmy is going to be the new Triforce. I think its been explained as said by goons so take it as you will, but if you join the darkwraiths, it is explained to you that the pygmy is/was one of the first dark lords and you are one of his descendants hence why they want you to work against gwyn and his daughters.

When trading with the raven, can you do each trade once period, or is it once per game run? I've seen unclear information either way. (ie. can you do a trade, quit the game, come back later, trade again - or is it one trade per item, period, for that entire playthrough)

Supposedly, and this is hearsay at best, that location is for some story element related to (and this is a serious loving spoiler) You being the Furtive Pygmy or a descendant or something. At least supposedly, again this is hearsay. Rumor is having the right items and not joining a covenant and enough humanity changes dialogue options with Priscilla.

Any recommendations for specific enemy in Anor Place the loving bat men with the spears that go through shield! Agh. There's one pull where you're stuck in a room with two if you can't get them one at a time. Normally I can, but I can't kill them quickly enough and there's too little space to sufficiently dodge their attacks. Battle of attrition very much stacked against me.Shalinor posted:When trading with the raven, can you do each trade once period, or is it once per game run? I've seen unclear information either way.

You can easily push them off cliffs and watch them fall to their death. Pretty funny considering they have wings and all. If there is no cliffs and really little space, you can just use iron skin and two-hand them down in one second. big duck equals goose fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Oct 12, 2011 |

Also going to another area and coming back isn't the best way to trade: simply visit the bonfire and walk off a cliff. Your trade loot will have spawned when you revive, but remember to grab your bloodstain.

There's no place where you have to fight two at once. You can always somehow attract one and kill it. If you mean the tower area after the group of 3, keep in mind they can't enter the walkway. So if you aggro the two and run backwards, only one will be able to hit you and the other will probably fall off. Watch out for their ranged attack though.

I'm nearly certain that geckos can only be killed once each in this game. At least none of my geckos have ever come back and I've killed lots of bosses.

Actually if you just quit and reload your game it works too. So you don't have to die and run back. Edit: The above is for the crow trades. For geckos, they don't respawn after you kill them. But unlike Demon's Souls, they DO respawn if they get away.

No, I get that they're all unsubstantiated rumors, but there's all kinds of speculation that really just feels like people saying "I heard if you play the song of time in the warp spot at every temple without warping in under an hour, the back of the temple of time opens up and you can get the triforce." And that's just fine by me. It's nice having an air of mystery in a game again. Macksy posted:Any hints on where to go? Other than darkroot the only other place I've found has a poo poo ton of ghosts that I can't hit. You know how you got a key? Go use it on a locked door earlier in the Burg. Specifically, the locked door next to the dragon bridge by where Solaire was.
