I'd been trying to get her tail, and then I found out that she reappears at 50% health, so I followed the simple method of walk into her, kite right, and jab. Turns out she doesn't reappear.

Does bleed work on the Four Kings, by any chance? I am really, really not impressed with my chances, here. All I have is a Quelaag's Furysword +5 in the way of strong weapons.

I think to make her reappear, you have to damage her fast enough to make her flinch. My Lightning Zweihander always does it in one or two hits.

I think she reappears as soon as you hit her with some pyromancy.

Yeah, if you attack Priscilla in the Painted World and you can't kill her, you're completely hosed if you sat at the fire. Like, game-totally-ruined hosed.
I am 99% sure you can still leave during the fight the normal way.

Soul farming in Dark Anor Londo kind of sucks with that Balder armor rear end in a top hat who just parries anything you throw at him that isn't a jump attack. I even bashed him with my shield once, and he parried it. Then when you gently caress up, you get booted to the extinguished Anor Londo fire and have to sprint all the way up to the Duke's Archives to warp back. :(
He can't parry a great chaos fireball to the face. I was using pyromancy against those two with great success. Easily the most efficient farming.

I was white phantoming in the Paint World and me the summoner were tearing poo poo up. We took out the Scripted black phantom in no time, we got all of the treasures, and were about to get to the end when we were invaded by a player named, not joke, I_Love_Pricilla. Dude used the Lifehunter Scythe and was fully dragon.

Me and the summoner were backstabbed and one shotted by the guy.

But I got my revenge when he invaded my world. Just used tranquil walk of peace and force emitted him.

Pyromancy works well against Priscilla. You can also get out your bow and aim high; one or two near headshots will reveal her.

I assisted someone who used firestorm and she reappeared instantly. She hadn't taken any hits aside from the initial one at that point, so that spell apparently works really well for revealing her.

She lives on in the Scythe.

Edit: Helped another guy with the Painted World. He was named Helpings and he too was all dragon. Apparently he loves Pricilla enough to let her live and leave.

Fun Fact: you get no souls when the summoner decides to leave this way

The Lifehunt Scythe is hilariously bad for killing weak enemies. Second floor parish? Bleed out in two swings.

The Darksword and Dark set are...really awful. It's pretty disappointing.

Should I make the normal or cursed Artorias' sword? I don't think I can even equip either. I might just make the shield. And not be able to use it.

So, I talked with Solitaire after killed taurus boss, he didn't give me soapstone. I continued on and killed gargoyles then came back to see if he'd give him soapstone, now he's gone. What do I do now? How does one get a soapstone if I didn't get it from him?

The darksword fully upgraded and specced towards your build does decent DPS for a straight sword while having good R2's.

The darkwraith set fully upgraded (especially the gauntlets) is one of the best medium weight sets in the game, only beaten by Lautrec's and Black Knight for having better resistances in areas/poise. It's also just slighly better than fully upgraded Thorns set and about equivalent to Ornsteins.

What I'm trying to say is that of all the things you get for being a darkwraith the only thing that really sucks is the Darkhand.

I have uploaded the next episode of my boss guide. This one covers the Bell Gargoyles and includes an analysis of the boss' attacks and how to beat them solo with only items found around the Parish/Undead Burg. Still a pain in the butt, and can be made much easier with help or just coming back later, but if it can help any fellow Hollows out then my job here is done!

Next up is the horrible Capra Demon! (Note: I can confirm that Alluring Skulls have no effect on the Capra Demon...muh...and even the dogs seemed to ignore them. If anyone can get a video guide on how to properly distract the dogs with those things I'd love to see it!)

It takes TT to rank up the set. That's either a massive amount of time grinding or a less massive but still significant time glitching Snuggly. :(

The darksword is really nice, though - the R2s on it are quite great for a straight sword.

I feel like they handled TT poorly. I can see having a resource that is scarce but considering how many things that need TT to be upgraded it just turns the whole thing into a glitch fest or farm grinding hell.

Well sure it takes some investment. But it's always best to analyze something in its full potential and not just "when you first get it", especially in this game.

Like I've said before, a lot of armor in this game is really good. Don't just rock gold-hemmed because it starts off maxed out. There are armors that are straight up better if you put the time in!

I'm sure it's been mentioned that the Dark Hand you get from joining the Darkwraith covenant can be used to sap Humanity from Black Phantoms, Black Knights, NPCs, and basically anyone with a special death animation, and not just other players in PvP.

If not, HOLY poo poo you can sap Humanity from Black Phantoms, Black Knights, NPCs, and basically anyone with a special death animation.

So far, the two human enemies that spawn in Anor Londo's twilight realm give 3 each. Patches, if fought at Firelink Shrine, gives 5 (in addition to the 4 item-version Humanities that he drops when killed.)

In general I've found that you should answer "yes" to every question anyone asks you unless it's "are you sure you want to join this covenant", where you get a warning that you'll leave your current one. Otherwise, I can't think of an example offhand where saying yes hurts you or is the wrong thing to say.

IIRC, All covenants are joined by using the 'Enter Covenant' menu item in their dialog menu, you can't join it through simple dialog. If I'm wrong, all covenant join prompts indicate it clearly anyway.
