Oh I'm happy. Fully explored up and down the swamp area (thank you bow and arrow). Finally found the Crystal Sage in the previous area and killed it and moved on to the Cathedral of the Deep.

Finally got enough souls gathered for the Tower Key and the Undead Legion armor from the handmaiden.

Yeah, we happy.

Regarding the soul starting item, is there anything you can do with it besides popping it? I think I accidentally did so because it's disappeared from my inventory. I hope I've not screwed myself out of a unique weapon or something.

No, it's a common-ish item you can find. You didn't screw up anything.

Could I please get some general directions to this jerk?

Crucifixion Forest, the dilapidated keep. There's a wall breach you enter, follow the path in and around. Entrance to the boss is guarded by a couple of spell casters.

How does one get to the bottom of the gorge or whatever below the undead settlement bridge that leads to the sigmeyer elevator?

Get the sewer key from the handmaiden (You may need to get the Mortician's Ashes from the area where the Giant shoots its arrows). Sewer is in right next to the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire.

Thank you for the directions. :tipshat:

When does the handmaiden sell the sewer key? I got down there by removing all my armor, and embering to survive the plunge off the relatively short end of the chasm.

I updated my post because I realized you may not have it.

You need Mortician's Ashes which is in the target area the Giant shoots its arrows.

Go to the Undead Settlement, there's a hanging body in the area near where that Fire demon is at and there's a Pale Tounge (I think it's called) in that body, grab it and he should show up in Firelink then and give you the key.

Calaveron posted:

So I'm at Undead Settlement after having beaten the burning asylum demon, got Flyn's Ring and I have no idea how to proceed. Do I need to bone back to a bonfire?

Keep exploring, you don't have to bone out. There's a path out that leads you back to the Curse-rotten Greatwood's outer steps.

From the anecdotal evidence, it's affecting those mostly who don't start as Knights and have high lighting on.

For me, I started as Knight and have max settings. No crashes in the 15~ hours I've played.

There's sewers nearby that connect to her cell. You need Mortician's Ashes from the area where the Giant shoots its arrows turned into the Shrine Handmaiden where you can buy the Sewer Key to make your way to the woman in the cell.

Is the game's co-op buggy or just me? Three times in a row I've been summoned, only to see EVERYONE else just sliding along the ground in idle positions instead of any other animations or attacks. I guess it works out in my favor because it makes me immune to bosses since they can't attack me (even when I have their attention), but I don't know if it's just my internet or the game. I didn't seem to have any serious lag issues with Dark Souls 1 or 2, though.

It happens here and there. I did a sunbro coop last night for the Curse-rotted Greatwood and everything was sliding including the Greatwood itself. It was rather comical and I wish Shadowplay didn't gently caress up so I could have recorded it.
