i have 2 questions

1: how do you trade with a specific person?
2: would anyone be willing to borrow me the wolf ring for a sec and be that specific person for me? I'm online now and available for the next 8 hours. In europe, psn Davincier

Password up, summon the person, one of you drops things on the ground, other person picks them up.

There are things that will NOT work: covenant items (ears, tongues, etc), spells, some others I am probably forgetting.

Rings will work - that's how I got my ring cheevo since the autosummon covenants do not work for me.

I got it to +5 last night, hallelujah. I think I have 1 chunk at the moment.

There are a bunch of large shards in Smouldering Lake and Demon Ruins. You can get a large shard and chunk by trading a firebomb and black firebomb to the crow's nest. The giants in the Cathedral of the Deep both drop a large shard when you kill them, and they're surprisingly easy if you just stick to their ankles and keep attacking.

Yep, and only if you haven't cleared the area boss. You kinda screwed yourself out of some so far; those will have to wait until NG+.

What are some good stats to have high when using the black knight glaive?

I'm enjoying it pretty well, and I'm also looking at maxing out Gundyr's Glaive as well.

The Dancers swords are great, especially when combined with the Pontiff eye ring. Just the L1 is great in doing a ton of damage, but the moment you activated L2 then you basically become a blender.

Thanks. I've been doing a dex build and have been getting great use out of the brigand twin blades. I've got a dex of 22 and a str of 15, would infusing the twinblades with a sharp gem? I saw it would knock my dex scaling up to an A but str and base damage would go down.

It should show you the damage you get from stats, directly to the right of the base damage. Do some addition, and if it's higher then go for it.

For all the BK weapons you want as much str and dex as you can get, I think dex scales better for that one so 28 str 40 dex will give good damage and allow you to 1-hand the glaive, ultimately like most weapons in the game 40/40 is optimal

If you want a lot of damage per swing from a glaive try the Winged Knight Halberd, it hits super hard

edit: instead of guessing at stats you can use this utility https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3 to see precisely how your stats will effect your damage; a BK Glaive at 28 str 40 dex will do 465 damage and 40/40 will do 499, and at 40/40 a Refined Winged Knight Halberd will do 528

Alternatively, for a single stat build (strength, in this case) Gundyr's is the strongest halberd by a longshot, and has lower dex requirement than Black Knight or Winged Knight (And you aren't junking the far higher required stat for all 3, since all of those require over 25 strength).

The dragon place is the ideal location to grind for almost every type of crafting material that you will want late game.

Also a big fan that you can beat the final boss without having to restart the game.

Another annoyance I can't figure out. I have a Quelana and Gravewarden pyromancy tome. The pyromancy tome in Firelink won't look at them because he's not a witch, and the other one is too spooky scary.

You will eventually find someone who will read those. Or not, depending on how thoroughly you explore I guess.

You need to raise the bridges in the Cathedral as well. There's a lever near the shortcut back to the bonfire. Another is by the entrance to the boss fight.

To be honest I couldn't figure out how to get to the third. Also you need to leave the boss alive.

Gundyr's halberd has one of the best weapon art in DS3. The amount of kills I get from people that run or roll away to chug estus is insane. Yesterday I dropped my sign on pontiff balcony and helped the host all the way to Aldrich and we both killed like 7 invaders. Then we one shot the boss. I spent a solid 40 minutes co-oping through the entire anor londo, best session ever.

That NPC will also take the dark braille tomes. You can give them to Irina instead, but you really, really shouldn't.

As for being able to buy the special titanites, you have to get the ashes from the very end of one of the secret areas.

Actually, the boss must be dead before he'll show up.

Edit: I'm also pretty sure that he won't show up if you already found Rosaria, though. He'll probably skip straight to Firelink.

Edit 2: Killing the giants or not has no effect on whether he'll show up and it's way funnier if you kill at least the first one beforehand.

No, you most definitely don't need to kill the boss to meet Patches.

The guy asking probably screwed it up by going up into the rafters before meeting him, which screws it up since you'd be coming out on the other side. He just skips to Firelink in that case.

His (and Seigward's) trigger for appearing is opening the big front doors, but he won't appear if you came via Rosaria's area.

Has anyone tried out the Dragonslayer's Axe for low-to-mid level invasions? At level 60 you can have a Raw one with 27 vig and 40 end, seems pretty nasty. Buffing it with a lightning resin would be icing on that cake, too bad Warcry nullifies it so you have to pick one.
