So I was curious about what happens if you make a chalice dungeon with a Foetid offering so I made one for a central Pthumeru root chalice dungeon.
I think it may have made the enemies a tiny bit stronger. I seem to be taking a bit more damage. Also, some enemies have a weird aura around them. Not sure what that is for.
So I went through the first two layers, and a bonus area at the start of the third layer, hoping for epic loot. There has been absolutely nothing. I have only found 2 sarcophagi and they contained absolute crap (coldblood and shaman bone blades). Also, I found almost no chalice materials. I think I will make a loss on this dungeon. Absolutely horrible.
Still, one interesting thing happened. As I entered the third level, I received a message about a bell-ringing woman ringing a sinister bell. I guess that's for PVP? I quickly found her and killed her, but I think I may have made a mistake. Because she doesn't re-spawn. She may have been the main reward of the dungeon, and I stupidly killed her.
But how does PVP work in a chalice dungeon? How would someone be able to invade my dungeon? Is there a way to invade a random dungeon, or would any invaders have had to enter my dungeon themselves first to be able to invade me?
Meaning that in order to have been invaded, I would have pretty much have had to have invited the invader myself by sharing my glyphcode with them?
