DrGreatJob posted:Yes. Once you reach the Cathedral of the Deep 2nd bonfire, he will be trapped in a well just outside the building. Going back up to the top of Firelink (behind the 20,000 soul key door,) will get you locked in there by Patches. Patches has all of Siegward's armor and you need to buy it all for a total of like 14,000 souls. If you do this, Siegward will save Greirat in Irithyll. He never showed up in the well for me. I've been to the second bonfire in the Cathedral and even further and unlocked the later shortcut and he still isn't there. As far as I know I haven't missed any of his quest triggers--we killed the demon together--do I don't know what else I could be missing. Did I have to do it right when I entered the area and I missed my chance or something?

Tabletops posted:yeah, made me think he's supposed to be the PC/insert from DS2. Since that's basically what the PC did assuming they did all the DLC. Either I'm reading the wrong entry, or I'm not understanding the connection. Wolnir's soul has a pretty generic description per the Wikidot entry, same with the Holy Sword.

Two other questions: Anyone know exactly what the "summon sign visibility" option does in the settings menu? There's no way to see co-op active areas via fast travel menu, right? Like in DS2 you could see orange outlines on the travel menu?

Your Computer posted:Exactly the same thing happened (well, did not happen) to me. Did you access the Firelink rafters early by jumping off the tree? I wonder if that breaks the quest scripting with Patches and therefore also prevents Siegward's quest from progressing. (If not then that blows up my hypothesis, but who knows)

I decided to sunbro Vordt for some newbies last night, and put down my sign in front of the boss door. Unfortunately during about half of the summons the host would immediately run the opposite way and get wrecked by the Dancer instead. Way to go guys!

It might be the location, I had the same thing happen, but was able to get two in the catacombs. I have 99 hollowing. Then I used the fingers, picked up another bro, and fought constant invasions all the way to the boss. Goddamn is finger play intense!

Holy loving poo poo, Pontiff Sulyvahnn, what a loving amazing boss. I thought that Abyss Watchers were cool, but this guy is that cranked up to 11. Now I have to decide which of these boss weapons to craft, they're both amazing. I want them both! Also the game is finally opening up more, I've got at least 3 zones I could explore in any order I want. Getting close to the end but its nice to have some real options. Especially since Demon ruins is kicking my rear end hardcore. Harrow posted:He never showed up in the well for me. I've been to the second bonfire in the Cathedral and even further and unlocked the later shortcut and he still isn't there. As far as I know I haven't missed any of his quest triggers--we killed the demon together--do I don't know what else I could be missing. He wasn't there for me, and yet SOMEHOW I bought his armor from patches after clearing both cathedral of the deep, farron keep, and catacombs and suddenly he was there even though he never had been before. So I don't think its too late for you yet.

Is there an explanation anywhere of the ember/hollowing levels? I'm assuming it's a little more nuanced than the previous Hollow/Human dichotomy from DkS1

I really don't understand how people could keep getting all the way to Farron Keep without finding the CS unless they see the giant horrible murdering crabs and think "yes, that's where I want to be" and run straight into the swamp.

Annath posted:Is there an explanation anywhere of the ember/hollowing levels? I'm assuming it's a little more nuanced than the previous Hollow/Human dichotomy from DkS1 Hollowing doesn't come into play unless you take the free levels from Yoel. It's part of a rather complex but cool NPC quest line. If you trigger hollowing to start happening, you gain 1 hollowing level every time you die, and it can stack all the way to 99. As far as I know, the only effects of hollowing are cosmetic, though some people have reported that it's harder to co-op at higher hollowing levels. Nothing's really confirmed there. Otherwise, it's just embered/not embered being roughly equivalent to human/hollow (or, maybe more accurately, body form/soul form in Demon's Souls). Ember up and you get +40% HP and can summon help and be invaded. Without an ember, you can't be invaded or summon but you have your normal max HP.
