Does anyone have any idea what the best weapon for a character focused on intelligence is? I have a Magic Halberd +10 right now and was wondering what I should focus on next, it only has C scaling with intelligence. I have the Moonlight Sword from the tail of Seath the Scaleless which has A scaling with int, but the poor non-scaled damage leaves it a lot weaker than what I have right now.

Quick dumb question: Does cleansing sins let you join covenants you locked yourself out of by saying no or is it just for NPCs you accidentally hit?

For some reason when I try to look at my own details in the Book of the Guilty the game gets stuck "downloading advanced data" and I have to unplug the network cable to get control of the game back. :(

I was about to stop playing but decided to try one more invasion before I stopped. The guy is cornered in a room with enemies everywhere and refusing to come out, so I've run as far back as possible and have left my game idling while I make dinner.



This game is cool.

You are the best type of invader. I hope when I begin invading people, I get cowards, so I can maintain this tradition.

Haha, thanks. I came back to the game with the other persons humanity and souls and this in my inbox:

Did you join the Darkwraiths, or are you spamming broken red orbs?

I joined the Darkwraiths and have the unbroken red orb.

I'm going to not talk to Frampt now that I have the Lordvessel because I want to join the Darkwraiths, but I only know about all this because of the Internet. Was there actually some or any part of the story that could have led me to make this choice that I missed? Could I have even known about Kaathe?

I didn't know about it, but I ended up finding it because Frampt was asleep whenever I went by him.

What is the issue people were having with Alvina anyhow?

The first time I talked to her I said "no" to her first question, thinking I had gone far enough to get the achievement. She said, basically, that's too bad, come back if you change your mind. When the achievement didn't pop, I talked to her again and said yes, then said no to her second question, as I didn't care to join. She again just said to come back if I changed my mind.

Then later I came back and joined so that I could murder the ninja for the ring.

There was never any "gently caress you" moment and I didn't have any problem talking to her again. In fact when I approached her in NG+ she seemed to remember me and skipped straight to the "well, then, wanna join us NOW" bit of dialogue.

I said no once just like you and it locked me out of joining the covenant until I cleansed my sins.

Dark ending question I just placed the Lordvessel for Kaanthe, or whatever his name is, and joined the Darkwraiths. To get the Dark ending do I just finish the game as before?

Continued dark ending spoilers That has no affect on the ending, your actions after defeating the final boss determine which ending you get.

Bed of Chaos is such bullshit. He keeps sweeping me into the holes in the floor like I am a piece of dust. I move like 100 yards every time I block one of his hands.

Try to bait out its attacks, then running directly after it finishes them. There is no need to block the hands.
