Same thing happened to me for the first one:

She doesn't like Rosaria's Fingers so by joining them you locked herself out of her quest and a covenant. :v:

The second one is just the crestfallen guy isn't it? He moves out there sometimes. He's hosed off for me by now though so I don't know where he ends up.

I haven't even joined that covenant at all yet, so I dunno what happened.

Oh yeah, could be, I keep getting NPC's mixed up, I didn't even realise Crestfallen and the guy who gives you the red eye orbs were diferent people until they both appeared together. :v:

Oh poo poo then maybe that was just her first dialogue. She isn't very talkative to start with anyway. Just don't do the thing I said and you'll be fine I think. Sorry for the inadvertant spoiler.

No, it's cool, I missed that covenant when I was doing the Cathedral today and was going to go back and grab it next, I'll leave it for a while now.

Do you mean in the area I'm standing in here?



Cause theres no one there, there wasn't the first time I went there and I'm also bugged that I still haven't found out how you get over to the area I'm looking at there.

If he was still there you'd have heard him say 'Please let me die' as you walked up, it's too late

Where did blind miracle lady disappear to? :(

Also am I safe to join the invaders covenant now that woman at firelink has said I can summon her or does it break her quest if you're with them at all?

NESguerilla posted:

Was there actually a point to raising the gates around the giants in the cathedral? I feel like I missed something there but I have no idea what.

I think you were supposed to lure the Giants behind them then raise the gate so they were trapped, but they were so trivially easy to kill it was pointless.
There one near Rosearia's bonfire that's a shortcut though.

You can do this to the first crystal lizard in the game when you start. He just kind of plops down and you go over and smush your swords into his face. Doesn't really do a whole lot of damage.

You can do it to anything with a shield if you're two handing a heavy enough weapon, smack their shield two or three time and you basically get the BB 'ready for a visceral' animation complete with similar sound

You joined the Finger covenant, which she does not approve of. I just ran into the same BS.

Calaveron posted:

I don't think I did. I'm currently allied to sunbros and the last covenant I had access to before meeting her was bluecops.

The first time you meet her she will always sound disapproving and disappear, if you don't join that covenant at all (or join and don't give them any tongues maybe) the next time she appears she'll allow you to summon her and you'll start her quest line.

Yeah so far I haven't had any trouble with bosses, apart from being a dumdum during the second phase of treeboss because I didn't realise it had 'eggs' all over its body and was just trying to hit the grabby hand instead. Haven't gotten to Abyss Watchers yet though.

Sure you've hit all the nuts? There's some on his back and also legs, that was enough to kill him for me, if all else fails hitting the grabby hand does normal damage to him but it's risky.

So I went back to Iudex Gundyr to look for blind miracle lady and the knight she was with was just outside and attacked me for betraying his trust, with inevitable results so guess I hosed up that quest line.

I've picked up the Fire Keeper Soul from Firelink, but I have concerns about getting this so-called "best" ending. I have the five holes of whatever from getting the free levels. Apparently I don't want to heal myself from this to get the best ending, correct? So do I just not turn in the Fire Keeper Soul? Is there no other use for it?

I don't know if effects anything but turning in the fire keeper soul just lets the maiden cleanse the taint for a ton of souls, same as the statue in undead settlement, it's not an automatic thing.

Crystal Sage takes the new record for easiest Souls boss, probably literally the only one I've done without even taking a hit.

hmm so i became very hollowed. i have the firekeeper soul and i think thats what will cure me for a stupid amount of souls? or do i just get a purging stone? i want to look pretty again.

Purging stone is temporary but doesn't break that quest like getting properly healed does, I think?

I've been invaded a grand total of once so far and the guy was a total noob who somehow managed to lose half his health to the poison swamp before he even found me, also I forgot I still had the sentinels covenant on and a bluecop turned up but I'd already killed him.

I'm in Farron Keep and I just opened the big door by extinguishing three flames throughout the swamp. Without spoiling anything am I far from the ability to respec? I've realized I'd much rather be using a long sword and focusing on pyromancy instead of a big weapons focus with a pyro support. At 22 str my longsword +3 is more useful and fun than my zweihander +3 :(.

You're going in the wrong direction for the respec lady, she's in the Cathedral of the Deep, if you haven't found it, go back to the second Road of Sacrifices bonfire and explore the ruins to left of the swamp area.
Also she's pretty far in and it's a tough area.

Quest line question! In the Catacombs, I found the elite knight dude, looking for the exile armor dude. Where do I find that guy?

I don't need any major details unless it's really convoluted, just let me know in which direction I should be heading.

When you find a rickety bridge try making it even more rickety. Do it from the far side though.

Smouldering Lake is probably my least favourite souls area ever, it's more boring looking than the dullest chalice dungeon, every enemy is a gigantic loving oval office and you get about as many souls for each kill as you do in the starting area, I mean seriously what's up with that?

Is there any reason to kill the Old Demon King other than for his soul (and a trophy first time)? There's nothing after his area and you don't even have to go through the rest of the Smouldering Lake area to get to him.

No area in any souls game has made me feel more like I'm just not up to the challenge than the start of Irylith, I literally haven't made it past the fire dude with his three sword zombie entourage yet and it seems like pure luck if I even make it past the three frosty sword maidens right at the start.
It's like the street before the bonfire at the start of BB except worse because I should be better by now.
