Lautrec never showed up in the cell. What causes this? I hadn't fought the gargoyles or done anything else of note.

Is there a good way to farm humanity that doesn't involve whacking rats in the depths? I am in end game NG+ and have the dark hand. I really want the Dark wraith armor and the red eye orb.

He wasn't in his cell, so I killed the gargoyles. If he killed her already...I'll be pretty pissed. Honestly, I basically just want +15 pyromancy so I can get Priscilla's Dagger. That's what this character is made for! Maybe I'll be able to kill that son of a bitch when I get there.

Sacrificial Toast posted:While it's nice that I don't have to get the Ghost Blade for the weapons achievement, I just went through a stack of 40 Homeward Bones killing the 2 channelers in the upper part of the Duke's Archive at 320 Item Discovery, and I still don't have their god damned trident. I feel bad every time I see someone say this because the trident dropped for me on the first channeler in the Archive I killed. I wasn't even farming for it. I guess the game felt it needed to pay me back for all those hours I tried for a Pure Bladestone in its predecessor.

Honestly it's an insanely annoying fight overall, between her fog ring, pretty powerful attacks, and unrelenting lemming nature. I edged him into the grove just before the ladder and edged up close to him while he was firing. He switched to a curved blade of some sort and then died pretty quickly.

Rough Lobster posted:Pharis has jumped off a drat cliff every time I tried to fight her. Really? She's a pretty good distance from most cliffs; it seems like you'd have to try to have her die that way. Personally, I just walked up to her with a shield, wait for her to bang off it, then set her on fire with Combustion. She always just pulls out a sword and goes melee when I get close. OK, questions on SOLAIRE! 1. What exact steps do you need to take to save him- the wikis are directly conflicting and generally unclear. For example: wikidot sez: Note about saving Solaire: you need to speak to him at the bonfire after the Centipede boss to activate his progression. Do not open the shortcut before speaking to him or else you ruin his progression and he will be killed by the chaos bug. Meanwhile, wikispaces sez: Basically, if you want him to live. Get Chaos Covenant rank to +2, use the shortcut to kill all 9 chaos bugs (Without entering Izalith), and don't talk to him after the centipede demon fight. So do I need to talk to him after the Centipede Demon or do I need to AVOID talking to him? Do I need to fight the Centipede demon at all? 2. Is there even any real benefit to letting him live besides summoning him at the end? I never summon people for bosses, so if I like collecting stuff, should I just kill him for his stuff?

Alternatively, for those who aren't that far yet, I've found the Picasas in Dukes Archives drop humanity pretty often, and when you turn off the alarm, you can take them out pretty quick, with the serpent ring equipped, I was getting 2-3 drops of humanity per run, which is huge compared to everywhere else I can get right now.

Why does the Black Bow follow a normal upgrade pattern? Goddamn Jagged Ghost Blade, Silver Knight weapons, Black Knight weapons, etc., all take twinkles and can only go to +5. The Black Bow of Pharis is actually a unique item--and a named one at that--and follows the standard upgrade path. What the hell. Schwartzcough posted:Really?

Lost who said it, but In order to keep Solaire alive and reach his next encounter near the Chaos covenant bonfire, you need to NOT traverse into Lost Izalith. You instead take the shortcut from Demon Ruins, and kill all nine of the huge slugs that do little more than block the path. Only once all nine of them are killed should you cross into Lost Izalith. If you leave one alive, or skip this shortcut altogether, Solaire is killed by them and shows up as a phantom prior to the door to Bed of Chaos boss fight. If you kill all nine slugs, you can meet with him one more time near Chaos covenant bonfire, and talking to him will unlock his summon sign for the final boss. 2. Are you a completely terrible person? This will affect my suggestion for what to do.

If you've activated Twilight Anor Londo, those two humanoid dudes before O&S's room give 3 Humanity each via Dark Hand. The flame keeper that goes hostile towards you gives 5 or so. Patches (at Firelink Shrine) gives 5 via Dark Hand, and drops 4 Humanity when you kill him for a total of 9(!). If you don't mind killing other NPCs at Firelink, most of them can be Humanity-sucked. Since you're at end game, basically just run around the entire game testing the NPCs. :P At least it's more entertaining than whacking rats. Finally, a note about Red Eye Orb -- you HAVE to be a Darkwraith to use it (meaning if you switch Covenants, it won't work.) enojy fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Nov 4, 2011 |

In regards to Petrus and Rhea at what point is Petrus supposed to kill her? He just never did it in my game. I'm assuming I missed a trigger, because I am curious as to why he would kill her in the first place. I checked on her right before I went to the Kiln and she was still praying, and Petrus was still acting all flustered and offered to sell me miracles.

Killed the Firesage and Centipede. 5. Went through it again, found depressed Solaire, talked to him a bunch 6. I think his sigil is outside the door. And with regards to your #2: t

Man, being summoned by the same person over and over again for a boss fight and being part of the progression is intensely satisfying. It means just as much when he beats it to you as it does to him. I hope the patch makes stuff like that easier, the multiplayer experiences in this game are really unique.

You do not HAVE to talk to Solaire here in order to fulfill his storyline, so if you want to fight with him at the final boss, it's in your best interest to simply turn around after Demon Centipede. There's really no good reason to go this way; only terrible ones. Other requirements are donating 30 Humanity to sexy spider lady to gain the ability to open the shortcut (there's no notification of this, but once you receive a Pyromancy spell for your donations, you've hit 30.) You then take the newfound elevator down to Demon Ruins, drop down the broken stairway which will land you in Demon Firesage's room, and head for the shortcut (that long winding branch between the boss room and the red, fiery part of Demon Ruins.) enojy fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Nov 4, 2011 |

Apparently if you go right to the Parish in two zone changes and talk to her, she makes it through okay. I always kill Petrus because gently caress him. He's also a Debbie downer.

So if this data is correct, weapon stat scaling is still pretty much worthless in 1.04. Upgrading a weapon to +15 gives it approximately a 15% buff to the scaling bonus, where it really needs to be more like 100% to tie with elemental. Plus which, most boss weapons continue not to upgrade their bonuses. Welp! Edit: Assuming I'm reading it correctly. What does the number under the letter grade actually mean?

Aw, where's that level range and popular boss fight to white phantom on chart that was six billion pages ago (which is to say, the day before yesterday)? I was hoping it would get put in the OP. I'm level 23 right now and...well, since my Japanese copy is cut off from the entire rest of the world and Japan is asleep right now, maybe I can't do it anyway. Just one more assist and I can join the sun covenant (given that the faith minimum is now 25).

The belltower creepy dude says he's "drenched in sin." He's a terrible person. He abandoned them, and then when she makes it out alive, tries to kill her to cover his tracks. It's kinda cool how early on the game shows Petrus to be an rear end in a top hat. He treats you like a leper at first, then patronizes you by treating you like some wretched vagabond and giving you the Copper Coin. Then he forces you to join his Covenant and makes you bribe him if you want him to tell you anything. I'm happy the game gives you vindication for wasting the fucker.

So if I don't have a good Divine weapon (my divine mace hits skeletons for like 60), is it even worth doing Nito? I'd really rather not go back to the blacksmith and then work all the way back down to Nito again, but I can't kill the skeletons before he shows up, and then like an rear end in a top hat he ends up killing them before I can land the killing blow. Also, like 3 big skeletons down there too? What the hell is that?
