Silly Nito, you were no match for my BKGS 
I can see the finish line, y'all!
I can see the finish line, y'all!Ugh, I wanted to mess around with a fun theme style build, using Logan's set, sorceries and Moonlight Butterfly Horn and it is proving not to be as fun as expected. I didn't realize how many areas in this game are resistant to magic, I've been using my +5 Fire Estoc that I used to get to Anor Londo more than my +5 MBH. Did all of Duke's Archive and as expected MBH was all but useless, and just started the DLC content and a +5 Fire Estoc is doing more damage than my MBH to the sanctuary guardian even with 40 int. Not that sanctuary guardian is difficult, but it just gets very boring when each attack does like 2% of his HP.
Speaking of sanctuary guardian, I always seem to get phantom inputs on this fight. Half the time when I get knocked down when trying to roll, I will get up and my character will roll, even though I pressed the button a good 4 seconds or so earlier. Never notice it besides on this fight.

This Black Knight Greataxe is amazing! So much faster!
It used to be even better before they nerfed it.

I guess I can try that, I'm a bit tired of that weapon since I already did an SL1 run. But yeah, it's good.

Was Twinkling Titanite added to the Giant Blacksmith's inventory post-patch?

Yep. Looks like you'll be farming lots of
clams.
Only if he's got over 10 Dex. But he's not SL1, so if he does have over 10, a longsword is amazing.
He said he could two hand an uchigatana so Eot's SL3 character has at least 14 dex.
Oh yeah. Well then! He's got tons of options then. Falchion is a good one, with a really good moveset even when twohanded.

Still stood back and pelted him with dragon arrows/gough greatbow. Didn't feel confident enough to get up close.
I found Nito to be a lot like the Four Kings, much more dangerous from far off than right up in their face. Four Kings have the direct hit system working against them, where they hit you with the handle of their weapon and barely plink at you if you are basically in their model, but stand a bit out and their melee+magic is very deadly. Similarly with Nito, my first playthrough I killed him by 2Hing the Quelaag Furysword and getting as close as possible and just wailing away. Most of his attacks just sailed over my head, and the only one that did hit was his magic explosion that conveniently kept the skeletons down. Never uses Gravelord Sword Dance when you are that close either.
Of course, now when I fight him I use a bit more finesse and actual strategy, but I was surprised at how much he didn't kick my ass when I got all up in his face on my first playthrough. I definitely got a bit lucky but still.

Ok GAF.
I'm on 3 possible ways:
I'm on 3 possible ways:
- Face Seath, but i tried once and he killed me and cursed me (now i'm cured, healed at New Londo)
- At the DLC. Killed the Guardian now i'm exploring the Royal Woods.
- At New Londo, i advanced talked to the healer, ge gave me the key, drained the water. And arrive until the second fog door where they are stairs donw, but i reach a dead end all is black and i don't know if i must go or die). BTW someone here told me that here i can get the 20 estus flask.

You need an item to continue in the 3rd path you mentioned.
That is with the rite of kindling which allows you to kindle a bonfire to the maximum level which gives you 20 estus flasks.

So i continue with the 1 or 2 path and i will face the necessary item naturally as i advance in the game or is a special thing to do?
No you will not the item is obtained from a boss fight in an earlier area of the game.

OK
I already had it, it was the ring from the Wolf. That happen to me because i not play too often so i forget this kind of things.

kill Manus with Sif summoned
significantly easier with a summon, much more time to heal

Maybe they also changed the drop rate with one of the patches, I generally get more twinkling than purging. I was farming earlier and got 4 twinkling and 1 purging. Small sample size but it's always been like that when I farmed there. At least Frampt eats purging stones for a lot of souls.
use the nest drop glitch to get twinkling if you'd like. farming for twinkling pre patch is miserable.
for the glitch, drop a blooming moss, then quit the game, before you pick up the item, drop another blooming moss. rinse and repeat with 99 blooming, red and purple moss if you are crazy until you get the amount you want.
not sure why you are playing pre patched Dark Souls though, game is overall better with the updates.

Only rescue him.
I think is better to equip the covetus serpent, farm the giants and buy the titanites to the blacksmith giant.

I had the Gold Serpent ring equipped when I was farming. Giant Blacksmith doesn't have the Twinkling Titanites pre-patch.

My sincere condolences
Oh damn. I recently went to the smith and dumped tons of souls into twinkling titanites since i don't really need to lvl up anymore and want them go to waste.

Rush past them.
Once you get to the elevator, don't take it up, but go into the corner of that room on the elevator's side. They can't follow you there, and you can kill them at your leisure.
Unless you're talking about the one in
Undead Parish, in which case backstabs work. Or Firebombs/Black Firebombs. Twohanding your weapon will stop you getting staggered when you attack it.

Are you in the undead parish?
First of all take a step down and look at your enviroment, the Metal Boar is "invincible" from the front, there is your first death and clue.
Look a little upside and look for alternative routes if you are still stuck,.......
------------------
If you are still dying take a more detailed look to your right you would find
a soldier protecting something, maybe a stairs so you can take businees from the archers there.
If you still want to take the boar,
the enemies had drop enough fire bombs to throw them to the boars who is higly weak to fire and attack him from the upper zone you are now
If you are in the
Dukes
Use a
fire
And dont forget the armored boars have a rare Helmet drop unique from that enemy.

You can poison them too. Or just stay to the side so they can't headbutt or kick you and just two-hand your weapon and smash 'em to pieces. I find it more difficult to backstab the ones in Dukes probably because there's less room.
Or run past them!

IIRC you can't backstab the ones in Duke's. They have butt-armor.
You're right you can't backstab the ones in dukes as they've got armored buttocks.

Where can I find Titanite Chunks? I need them to upgrade my weapon and I'm finishing up Duke's Archives, but I've barely found any of these throughout the game!
http://darksouls.wikidot.com/titanite-chunk
Forshame, posting a direct link to a wiki on such an elementary question. I shun you, my good man, I shun you so much!
As for the question, go kill a dozen Darkwraiths in New Londo Ruins with the Gold Serpent Ring on you and 10+ active Humanity. You should get about one Chunk every three Darkwraiths. If you're really lucky, you'll also get some Slabs.
Having Humanity active raises the drop rate? A friend told me recently to farm the
Skellie Babies
Yes it does. With the babies careful as sometimes the drop goes through the floor.
