lol what condescension? There's virtually no reason to be "storing souls" in some other form of currency. There's nothing in the game that costs more than 40,000 souls until you are level 80. The only thing you ever really need to save up for long term is absolution, and if you're doing that you should really just go knock it out in one 20-30 minute-ish farming session in the forest.Thagomizer said:

Drop down where the big tittied statue is (opposite side, where the ladder is). Roll from that platform to a aisle underneath the chest.How do you reach this treasure in Anor Londo? Stumped me the first time I played through this section
Nothing fantastic in that chest from what I recall, I was disappointed.
See that statue there in your screenshot? When you reach the rafters on the other side, you can drop onto the ledge with the statue. Then from there you can hop down between the archways to the other side, go up a set of stairs, and reach the chest.
It's nothing great.
Also - fuck those beams man. I remember my first playthrough I fell off with 20 humanity. Then on the corpse run, I forgot that there was first a lift down to the gargoyle bridge, and ran straight into the elevator drop.

Anyone have any tips for getting the Silver Knight Shield? I'm rolling with 99 Humanity and the Golden Serpent Ring and for the life of me can't get this thing to drop.

Roll onto the statue platform to your right. Then you can roll into the open pillar area directly below the chest. You can look at the opposite site of the building for an example (Ie, turn around)- it is an identical configuration.

The other hard to reach chest that I got on my own was Avelyn. She is so pretty... say hello to my little friend.

Speaking of divine blessing I would love it if you could buy an infinite amount from someone. They would be nice to use for healing in invasions as opposed to using up precious humanity.

If the patch fixes co-op pairing, that will be a pretty effective way of making souls too.
In my first playthrough I ended up getting paired with someone in NG+ for Four Kings and got like 45K souls for a 2 minute fight.

Would rather if they just sold humanity in unlimited form. Even if it was 10K souls a pop.

i found two in the shitty zone of izalith. search the lava on the right side from the entrance on. it's guarded by a few dinos obviously. you can also buy one at the church from
reah, after you saved her
they're too powerful to be infinite though. you have your flasks.

This was answered earlier, but I can't find it. After you kill the dragon on the bridge in the painted world, how do you get rid of the big mass behind it? Thanks

it would be an overpowered item in any environment. it does more than just heal you. i think the humanity healing is bad enough as it is.

As a side, with the serpent ring it is crazy easy to rack up the green/large titanite shards in blighttown.
Is there a respawning mob somewhere that drops titanite chunks?

This almost happened to me, but luckily as soon as I noticed they were damaging him I quit game to reset their positions and refill his life.

It's never outright stated, it's my own interpretation based on the fact that the Great Lord's Greatsword says that it's the only thing Gwyn took with him when he left for the Kiln, that he is said to have divided his power between his children before he left, and that he gave the Lord Soul to Seath and the Four Kings. The whole sequence of events sounds like somebody who knows he's doomed putting his affairs in order before the end, and from that I surmise that Gwyn knew his days were numbered.
Other possibly important thing to note: it's never said precisely how Gwyn divided his Lord Soul. Seath definitely has a piece, the Four Kings definitely have a piece, but whether or not there were any other recipients of the Lord Soul and whether or not Gwyn kept any of it is unknown, though I do feel the phrasing on the Greatsword implies that he kept none of it for himself. It's not stated directly, however.
Maybe also important is that Gwyn is said to have divided his "power" amongst his children, as distinct from leaving any part of his Lord Soul with them. The fact that killing Gwyndolin doesn't net you a Bequeathed Lord Soul obviously supports this. And there's the fact that Seath is obviously considered to have been a smartguy dragon before the whole going crazy thing, and the Four Kings were considered wise and just at the time. It implies, I think, on some level that Gwyn knew that his children weren't the most reliable lot, and so left his Lord Soul with what he thought were the smartest guys in the room instead.

I'm still not convinced that the invasion level disparity is where it should be as a whole. It's definitely different for each covenant. I invaded someone as a Darkwraith at SL70 and the other guy was level 120. Are these low level pvp'ers creating new characters and rushing through the game at low levels to obtain gear/covenant items? If that's the case, they shouldn't have the stats to wield most of the powerful items that are doing the one-shotting. Unless it's a bunch of Quelagg swords

Quelagg, Lightning Weapons, Pyromancy are all deadly at low SLs.

Also, you don't go make a self sacrifice and take half of your standing army with you. This strikes me more as Gwyn being more concerned with getting to the Kiln than sacrificing himself. Obviously, some kind of obstacle between him and the Kiln had him very worried to bring that kind of man power, and could just as easily be the cause behind him wanting to get his affairs in order.
Kind of off topic but...
Gwyn went to the Kiln a thousand years before you, correct? Obviously he didn't have to kill all of the other lords to do it. Is this entire aspect of the quest a lie? Both Frampt and Kaathe make you do it? Why did he make it there without having to kill the other lords, but you do?

Possible, but I don't know likely that is. If there was a Darkwraith or two, or some of their paraphernalia, that might be believable. To our knowledge, the Darkwraiths were successfully trapped in New Londo. Also, do we know when the Darkwraiths came to prominence?

Mortrialus said:
The game never says exactly how many knights he took with him; the immediate assumption is a 50/50 split, but the game never makes any commentary on how many went with him and how many stayed behind. It could have been half and half, he might have only taken a small group and left the bulk behind, or he could have taken virtually all of them and left only a token force behind.
There's also some potential ambiguity of specific identities of people he took with him. Of the Four Knights obviously Ornstein stayed behind, Artorias almost definitely stayed behind based on some very basic reasoning based on item descriptions, but it's not impossible that Gough and Ciaran went with him. Taking two of the four would lend credence to the idea that he took about half with him, but the game is, as always, damnably vague.
I'm not sure, for what it's worth, that the "Witch of Izalith trying to clone the First Flame and failing" and "Gwyn departing the link the First Flame" events are unrelated anymore. The Witch of Izalith may have been attempting to remove the need for somebody to sacrifice themselves to link the flame, failed, and so Gwyn had to do the deed himself after trying to clean up the mess that the Witch created in the attempt.

The same chance exists when the game freezes and you don't have a choice but to do it :/Augemitbutter said:
Thank god it hasn't happened to me yet, despite the game freezing twice so far. Once in anor londo, the other in the forest.
DigitalDevil said:
But it's a chance that's outside your control vs. a chance you take by your own choice. I've never had the game freeze in like 110 hours of play and I'm definitely not going to willingly do something that could fuck my 70 hour save just because it's inconvenient. I have plenty of good weapons without that blacksmith.
