True, but it is very close to FireLink shrine and if you got as far as 4 kings you should have activated the shortcut (elevator right across the 2nd bridge in New Londo, only 3 ghosts to go through). From that location it is a quick trip back to the boss.
Also IIRC the fall to the abyss doesn't kill you, so as long as you have the ring on no need to walk down the steps, just jump from the top.

It's the Xanthous set. Go into the Painted World as a human and stand at the edge of the cliff in the graveyard section of the courtyard near the large box/cell things and you'll be invaded by a Black Phantom named King Jeremiah wearing the armor. It's the area immediately to your right when you pass through the shortcut door near the bonfire. Beat the phantom and he'll drop a whip, then go through to where you meet/fight Priscilla and there will be a corpse on the beginning of the plank that you jump off to return to Anor Londo. The armor is on the corpse.

JVIDICAN said:Lol. I jumped into the firelink well before thinking it'd be some secret entrance into the abyss. Turns out it's just a bottomless pit.
fastest way I'm aware of is through the giant door in Valley of the Drakes.
I believe that should actually be slower than the short cut in New Londo; when activated the elevator takes you past the section you enter from Valley of Drakes. Plus, you don't have to cut your way through like 6 drakes first
Go from Firelink to New Londo, cross the bridge, and right when you meet the first two ghosts, just head to the right and look for a place to drop down. You should be in that little pool area where the darkwraith assaults you. The boss door is like thirty seconds of running from that area.K' Dash said:

Nope, you'll probably have to use a backup weapon. I'd probably tough it out to the swamp bonfire, then fight your way up and activate the shortcut rather than take on the boss with your backup weapon.
And then when you are at the smith, BUY A REPAIR BOX

Hey, they're GHOSTS
Besides, if you can see even part of them sticking out of the wall, you can hit them. Even if your weapon clangs off the stone, you should still hit them.Keep your shield up, and just walk into each area and wait a few seconds. They'll come to you.

I dont have a repairbox
dammit.
No the smithbox lets you do weapon reinforcement with ores, but not repair.
Aeana said:
It helps a lot to bait them out into the open areas. They love to swarm when you enter interior rooms, so if you run into one then immediately do a 180 and dash back out onto one of the walkway areas they're vastly easier to deal with. Keeping a Soulmass active constantly is also a huge help in case one pops out of a wall right in front of you.
You could also do what I did the first time and just forget about fighting them entirely. I died about a dozen times but eventually managed to run screaming through the entire area in my underpants without fighting a single one.

After many failed attempts, I finally managed to jump down upon the bookshelf with the chest on it in Dukes Archives. Had a unique crossbow in it.

This could very well be true -- of all the guides out there, this is the one that told me I was missing the channeler's trident:

Did you get the chest in the Painted Hall? When you go across the ceiling to the ladder, on the left you can see a chest but I never figured out how to get to it. That, and the loot when you look down from Moonlight Butterflies bridge, always drive me crazy!
When you have a crystal ring shield +5 it's faster, no ghost orgies eitherOracle Dragon said:I believe that should actually be slower than the short cut in New Londo; when activated the elevator takes you past the section you enter from Valley of Drakes.

Four Kings & Seath down in NG+. All I have left is Firesage (thinking of killing him for elevator access from Chaos covenant), Bed of Chaos and the last boss.
For Four Kings in NG+, you need at least 6 casting of iron flesh + 2H weapon. I was getting my ass kicked until I did that. Also I went with Smough armor and I don't regret it one bit!

The first giant room near the entrance. You have to jump off the rotating bridge to land on it. Not easy.
I think I know the chest you're speaking about in the room with the painting. After you cross the ceiling beams, look for a platform you can roll down onto in front of the big statue, it lets you cross to the other side of the hall.Oracle Dragon said:Did you get the chest in the Painted Hall?

I'm not sure I know what item you mean in Darkroot, but there is a large hidden area there.
You can destroy a tree along a wall to access it, or drop down off the cliff some distance before the hidden bonfire and farming door.
Well I'm back at Firelink Shrine, that wasn't so bad. Anyways... while I'm here a question about the gold armour guy and what he does. I honestly have no clues about spoilers anymore in this thread, but ah well
does he kill this woman who reinforces my estus flasks? should I off him now? what's more important, the armour from him or the flasks? etc?

let him live, you get some extra dialogue and armor and stuff that way.
It's not a huge inconvenience so long as you remember to
rekindle that bonfire after you kill him. You'll get a firekeeper soul from him to revive the bonfire keeper, DON'T USE IT TO BOOST YOUR FLASK.

What Yeb said. It contains a Divine Blessing.

The armor is honestly no big deal. It's a nice set but by that point you probably have better anyways, at least if you aren't rushing into Anor Londo. Not to mention either of the boss sets you get from the AL boss are probably better. I prefer to just kill him when hes in Firelink.

you've made it farther then me! I'm just now entering sen'soracrest said:
I won on my second try. I don't know if using crystal soulmass and crystal soul spear counts as cheesing, though. It was kind of funny. The fourth one appeared right behind me and was about to attack, so I turned around and crystal soulmass took him out in one shot.Kalnos said:

Just had my first chance to test my black knight greataxe +5 on an invader. The width of its swing basically made his ring of fog irrelevant. Got close to him and just kept swinging, broke his guard and kept him pinned with hit after hit until he dropped. So satisfying
