Nah. You can go from any bonfire in the game to any bonfire with a firekeeper, like Firelink Shrine or Anor Londo.
It actually connects to covenants. Firelink Shrine and Anor Londo are the only exceptions. (Daugher of Chaos is a covenant, but Queelan happens to be a firekeeper as well.)
New Londo doesn't need a bonfire IMO.
It's a small area and going to the boss from Firelink Shrine take 1 minute via the shortcut.
farming slabs? and i tend to find that the best summon sign spots are typically ones next to bonfires. .
Yeah the firelink is actullay the one assigned for darkwraith as once you bring the lordvesel and side with Kaathe it is a linked location as well (at least close.) ANor Londo is actually Gwyndolin and Gwyinvere that have covenenats but the firekeeper sides with Gwyndolin there...its a good one for Dukes I guess. They were goinf for covenenats fo the warp spots which makes sense....they purposely do not wnat to make things to easy...no warpng from anywhere to anywhere and must retrieve souls stain etc. ITs not that they overliooked a more conveneinet way to to go it...they knew.
My stats are as follows:
Vit: 40 En: 40 Str: 36 Att: 10 Dex: 19 Res: 18 Int: 8 Fa: 10
Looking at those, you're probably right about needing to start a new character. Using NG as a testing ground is a really good idea, I'll be using that.
Cheers buddy, if I'm having a bit of trouble I'll take you up on that. At the bolded, I thought that may be the case, the amount of souls required to level up past lv 100 are exorbitant and even though the enemies give out more souls, I doubt they'll be scaled like you were playing through the first time.
Thanks for the responses guys.
Another thing I'm curious about: when building a character to use spells, is it wise to level for Magic, Faith and Pyromany or do you stick to one and use souls for Vit too? (I'm seeing a lot of posters saying the Vit stat is pretty much essential and, from my experience with the game, I'd have to agree)
Yeah don't put any into resistance..ever...wasted levels. I purposely chooose the sorcerer starting character for that reason a couple extra magics, especially early is waay better than the extra resistance. You will want to choose between Magic and fatih after that, but Pyro is different and does not require leveling..just souls so anyone can be a max pyro at any level. 16 magic allows for all the elementary spells....but you can still get good faith at 30 and still go for strength or Dex weapons as well. Depends if you wan tot go purist or not.. hybrids can be unwieldy (need the catalyst, talisman and glove plus attunement slots) and watered down but many do this as they can't give up one of their favourite spells or weapons to sticjk to hoil for max damage of one play style. Anyway, make sure to enjoy the different levels you go through...there is no rush to get tot eh ultimate stats..as everyone isrelativelyon the same page level wise during PVP its fun to do do lots of work at level 7 as I did last night for example....used box glitch and got requests for free stuff as a result. One retard begger got a dung pie as a gift, and another player begged and I asked him if he was worthy and he said , "yes, I have platinumed already" I WRONG answer was obviously lying, but I still gave him a Dark hand which he liked (obviously didn't know what it was even after supposedly platinuming) and HE was hapy...got about six of them even at low level after that farming for chuncks.,,also gave a way a giant halbred which I get at least two of per playthourgh and rarely use regaradless.
Had a great experience I gotta share last night playing late (2am) pacific time I was getting lots of action in Sens as a host trying to get through the level at level 25 or so. ONe helper in derp mask and giant's armour with furysword (had to be maxed) and I were invaded by a joker that stayed up in the area above the first walkway and wouldn't come down to fight but rather stayed up top to fire dragon bow arrows at us when we came to the first swinging clever bridge. Obviously we were not going to chance it, and he was obviously not coming down...what to do? My helper fired what I thought was more than 99 firebombs up there and I kept shooting poison knives which I had 99 of (all legit purchases even at low level as they are cheap) and still he was not getting hit much as the window he popped out of every so often was pretty small and he obviously was not budging. There was a standoff for what seemed like an eternity so I had to devise a plan. THe hard part of my plan was conveying to my helper to keep distracting while I jump down, heal myself without getting hit by the titanite demon in order to get to the guy...without him seeing me gesture what I am doing or see me do it. So I went right up to the wall so that the joker couldn't see my gestures, gestured with 'point down' that I was going down which this Japanese player must have understood as he increased his firebobming and toyed with him by pausing, then flurrying. SOmehow the joker up top missed my move and as I thought time was of the essence ( had to heal as the fall almost took my whole bar at only 12 vitality or something plus titanite demon and all) I did not buiff my sword before getting on the ladder down below to climb up....i was hanging on the ladder just below where he was hiding shooting out the window intermittently. I waited there for a while and they did more cat and mouse but I eventually realized the firebombs had actually hit him a lot and his health bar was actually pretty low so even my unbuffed washing pole +15 would do the trick. He totally missed me until I was right on him, he had his bow drawn so no shield etc...two swift swingsof the washing pole +15 finished off what was likely a not very strong character at low level...but after what seemed like a lot longer battle than it was my partner and I bowed at exactly the same time knowing our teamwork was impeccable under the circumstances and that we accomplished a tough kill on a well positioned (likely from watching others), but obviously noob invader.
No lag last night BTW, not even close, but lots of my own stupididty...took me way too long to get through sens even with help...had to summon this same guy that helped me earlier but because of that comraderie he dropped his sign even though I died like a noob at the top just before getting the cage key.
