So to clarify on upgrading, if I have Quelaaq's Soul in order to make her Fury Sword I need to:
buy a curved sword (from Andrei I guess)
use 5 titanite shards to make it +5
use 5 titanite chunks (?) to make it +10
use the boss soul to make it the Fury Sword
Is that right? Also, I can buy titanite and the curved sword from Andrei, but not the chunks?

It takes 9 (if I remember correctly) Shards to go from +1 to +5.
Next you use Large Shards, and that should also take 9 to go from +6 to +10. There's a vendor in
Sen's Fortress
The actual boss soul upgrade will have to be done in Anor Londo.
Chunks are used beyond +10.

Large Shards are 5-10 and they come from the merchant on top of Sen's.
Guevara said:
Should be Large Titanite Shards, not Chunks. And you don't "use" the soul, you take the fully upgraded weapon to the
Giant Blacksmith in Anor Lando
Edit: holy shit beaten hard, lol
Though, to add, the Large Titanite Shards can be farmed from the Black Iron Knight near the
roof bonfire in Sen's Fortress

Ah, interesting. I never really PVP, so I guess I should have specified it's no good in PVE. Thanks for the tip, will try it if I ever get into PVP

I understand the upgrade paths but can't seem to find a link that describes exactly what all the different attributes do. Anyone have a link? I'm wondering what the difference between a magic and an enchanted weapon is, same with divine and occult?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I've got to take a 3 week break from my console... I eagerly await to find more people in NG+ and also some decent stat mods! The patch is pretty much imminent, right?

Whoa, the tiny skeleton spot is the best farming spot in the game.
Let me clue you in.
Prior to going, you need at least 1 homeward bone (optional, I guess, but it makes it much quicker) or whatever they are; you can buy them for 800 souls at the female undead merchant in the shortcut to the capra demon from firelink.
It's a short easy path to get to once you know the route down from the 2nd bonfire in Tomb of the Giants. Takes about 5 minutes, max, for me at SL68. I use a bunch of pyro spells taking out all the undead idiots on the way (1 or 2 dogs, 1 or two warriors, 1 archer, and about 4 of the pillars). Once down there, dealing with the pinwheel apprentice type idiots is pretty easy... and if you have your gold serpent ring on, they'll probably drop some white titanite chunks (haven't seen a slab yet).
Now that you're clear here, you're good to go. Equip gold serpent ring if you haven't already and change your second ring to evil eye. Put on some armor that helps poison resist. I'm using the gold hemmed stuff.
Now, slaughter the tiny skeletons, grabbing the humanity drops when possible. The evil eye ring will keep your health up so you can go on forever without worrying about estus. In about 20-30 minutes, I farmed (with gold serpent ring, 0 humanity) 24 humanity and over a million souls.
When you're happy with your soul # or humanity count, use a homeward bone. This will warp you back to the 2nd bonfire in TotG. Rest up, repair equipment, whatever. Warp to firelink or your desired location (say anor londo or whatever) -- IMPORTANT: only warp to the immediate destination you wish to go, do not warp more than one time.
So in my case, I warped to firelink. I ran up the hill, killed the undead, jumped over, and bought the remaining armor I was missing from the dude on the bridge. Finish that, ran up the stairs and down to the merchant, buy a few more bones. Finished there, ran up to the elevator to undead church, bought all miracles from Rhea, ran to Andrei, gave him large divine ember -- ascended +5 divine weapon to +6. I'm done now, so what do I do? Homeward bone. Because I only warped once and never rested at a 2nd bonfire, it takes me back to 2nd bonfire in ToTG. Treck down to the pit, repeat as desired. If you aren't concerned about humanity, you can put on the silver serpent ring to get 20% more souls and raise your soul count faster.

No. Still waiting on the answer for whether or not killing him will fuck up the drop rate... plus I'm still afraid he's going to eat my face again.

It's a story thing. Loot the cell and later in the game, you'll get a message to use the item to invade the killer's world. After you do that, you get her soul back (make sure not to use it). You can return it to her cell and the flame comes back.
Quelaag's soul can be used to make weapons. If you upgrade a curved sword (like a scimitar or something) to +10, you can make Quelaag's Furysword with it. It's a pretty good weapon. The blacksmith that makes it is later in the game.

I finally sprang for the plus account last night. It felt good to upload my demon and dark souls saves. At least the dark souls data also automatically backs itself up.
The downside is that I have my SL 1 and naked barbarian runs are on a second account. Is it possible to add those saves through my plus account?

I didn't start killing the baby skeletons until my 2nd visit to the tomb of the giants to pick up the white titanite slab, Nito was long dead by then.corrosivefrost said:No. Still waiting on the answer for whether or not killing him will fuck up the drop rate... plus I'm still afraid he's going to eat my face again.

Once you give the large ember to the blacksmith the undead parish how many
weapons can you upgrade past +5 ?
Can you upgrade more than one weapon past +5 ?
I have several weapons/armor that I want to upgrade past +5 but
I was under the impression you could do only one ???
They are all standard weapons btw.
Thanks

Wow - Covetous Gold Serpent + Scythe just outside of Nito's room = extreme farming. 40 Humanity and 100,000 souls in just over 20 minutes with no need to visit a bonfire.
Also - is the Fury sword the most powerful weapon in the game (not including the OP'd shield)? It is fast, has fire damage, scales with DEX and STR and scales with humanity (max 10 it looks like). Right now I have 39 DEX, 19 STR and I am doing 516 damage. My Iaito+13 only does 334. I know some of the big axes have a large base damage but they have poor or no stat modifiers, but what weapon will do more damage as you level up?

Just put on your heaviest armor, go in with your best weapon two handed, take some of that stamina grass before dropping down and then stay on him and tank his ass as fast as you can. I did this and beat him easily and did not even worry about the skeletons.

If you poke them with your sword first (don't need to be locked on) they will come alive and you can beat them and better avoid the head-chomp attack.
If you have poison mist / toxic mist - you can cast it on them, they will take damage/die, but not become 'alive'.
FuttBuck said:I got the farthest I've been inside Sen's Fortress and then that stupid fake chest ate me
The fake ones have a straight-ish chain connected to the right side and the real ones have a curved chain.
Also apparently they move slightly and breathe, but I haven't seen that.

Good luck getting some of them. I will be doing the same thing in the Crystal Cave and I am not looking forward to farming too much but I need to do it before NG+ when I will have to start over again.
