Yeah I have been doing that actually but it gets really difficult when a group of them notice me.
On the same note, what the hell at those flies in Blightown, going through the geometry, really hate that.

I dont want to be wondering whether it was my skill or the cheats that helped me defeat a boss or an area, I probably wont use the save editor, maybe for NG+ or on a new save for fun.
Thanks. He never invaded me even though I'm in human form. I'll leave him for a day or so then put him down. Thanks for the info
Has been this way since console release, I would recommend going darkwraith if you want to invade as it actually works.

kind of tempted to use one myself, just to create a carbon copy of my pyromancer from the ps3 version. spent a long time farming the guys in the forest covenant area making them fall off the cliff
not going to do it but i would love to just copy over that character and play around with it some more

If you already experienced the game in PS3 then I dont see why not, as long as you dont invade people and own them haha.
For me, this is the first time playing Dark Souls so I better not, even though im a bit mad that I spent like 20 minutes farming the slimes in the Depths and got 0 shards out of them, so tempted to just give myself one shard for that.
But with this kind of things, once you start using it, you lose control.
i hate the sewers so much. especially the boss. i put down my sign to help someone so i can see who the boss is, and it's attacks.
and i've been using my rapier on it for pitiful damage. i was slain eventually.
i put on my ring of sacrifice, found one person to summon, and solaire. together we went in, and only me and the other human player survived. :'( rest in peace solaire. i didn't even know you can summon the man. now he's dead. i got lost in the sewers, and i don't know where the bonfire is, so after the boss died, i kept going, hoping there's a bonfire.
but nope, there's
. the journey through the sewers, and the boss fight has left me with no flasks, and each of those fat creatures and skinny creatures felt like a miniboss. and there was a punk shooting darts at me i think. i couldn't find the bonfire, i died. i didn't know the skinny ones could grab you, and i had like 50 hp the whole time. but i took down a good bunch of them, and found some items.
now i have 40k souls and no idea how to spend it. i'm level 23 now.
oh and funny thing about the ring. i found it near the fire link shrine. i saw a blue ghost person roll on to the ledge. except he failed and died. but i wanted to see why he would risk his life for, so i did it and found the ring. i wish we can see the names of these ghosts.
it was called gaping dragon

Actually, it could be useful if you wanted to give yourself a bunch of those one use invading items so you don't have to spend forever preparing a character for low level invasions (not to troll or be a jerk doing it of course). I wanted to have some fun with lower level players but getting to the proper invasion covenant was going to take forever and I got bored prepping for it.
That's all I can think of it being used for that wouldn't totally ruin the game though.

There is actually a bonfire really close to the boss room, if you go back a little, here is a map if you wish to know where:

There is a shortcut (hanging cages) to go from the boss in Sen's Fortress to the bonfire in Undead Parish really quick. I was pretty happy to find that shortcut.

I think they added a lot more warp points for the PC version. In the original game there were less warp points to use so you still had to truck it some to get to most places. Still, though, finally unlocking warping after all the foot travel is a gratifying experience.
Good.

Not if they don't patch the New Londo key glitch.
That glitch is unfortunate but I don't see how that's a valid excuse to use the save editor. Like people would ONLY use it to give them that key
And it's not like you can warp to any bonfire; some of the bonfires you can warp to are worthless, really, like the Altar of the Gravelord.

What was the name of the poison-resistant armour? I need to go visit someone in Blighttown...
Actually, if you
re-activate the sarcophagus in the catacombs that brings you to that room, it will be in the altar of the gravelord room when you go there, allowing you to get back to the catacombs. I think it resets after a while though. Still not so useful. But now you can warp to Dukes, Depths, Tomb of Giants. Very welcome change.
What is this glitch? I am curious.
In the console version, you can kill ingward and get the key to the seal, so you can drain new londo without ever getting the lordvessel. In the PC version, he won't drop the key if you kill him, preventing you from progressing in the game.
So the not dropping is the glitch or the getting the key the glitch?
They really didn't have warps to the Depths or the Tomb of Giants? Sheesh, that must've been misery.
The problem with this is you get to unlimited low level invasions and the people your killing-newbies and experienced players alike-don't get unlimited humanity. Personally I think it's a terrible idea and will make the game unplayable unless you use the same hacks yourself. I'n not saying you will do this-but somebody sure will and dark souls pc will be worse that the bottomless boss glitch users on console by far. This game is all about risk vs reward and trainers take out all risk and give unlimited rewards.
Hopefully people that use it can be detected and have there chars made offline only.
It's being fixed, quiet you.
I want to be able to get the sunbro armor without killing Soltaire
Whatever dude, the existence of that save editor is not a good thing for the game regardless of how you decide to use it.
Not getting the key is the glitch. He's the only one you can get it from.
Hm? Did it just a couple of days ago, pumped him full of arrows from the stairs outside his building. Got the Key to the Seal, no problems there.
First time I did it also, usually I would go inside and up to talk with him. Thought I'd speed up the whole process a bit, and not take too many risks with those ghosts.

Yeah, every time you wanted to go to Catacombs/Tomb of Giants/Depths you had to walk from Firelink. There were only like eight warp locations total, and three of them were the Anor Londo locations. Firelink and Quelaag were the only other two really useful ones.
I guess the glitch doesn't always happen. It happened to 2Adept so I've been too afraid to do it myself on the PC version. It's usually how I get the key to the seal on the console versions because that one room with the ghosts sucks.

Damn, what happens if you encounter this glitch? Is your save useless?

I heard that the issue is that he doesn't drop it in NG+ if you kill him (I don't know if it affects NG++(and so on...)).
I honestly have no idea why there's so many bonfire warps in Anor Londo. Once you open the main door, you can get to the other two in about 2 minutes, with only a couple of Giant Knights in your way.
Just don't kill the NPC. I don't understand you vicious murderers. NPCs are for talking and shopping.
Except the ones that try to kill you.

But Petrus is an asshole; and everyone else is full of that delicious, nutritious humanity.
Except before the last boss, they're for getting firekeeper souls and items!!
Also there's already a trainer, what is a save editor?
It does indeed
At some point I made it a point of honour to be able to run through them all and go up without getting killed.Gets the heart pumping a bit, and it was the perfect finale for the run through New Londo Ruins to get the water out - a simple and quick run, yet intense.
This. Jesus Christ, there are some bloodthirsty GAFfers out there.
New strategy for getting past the archers: throw lots of Colt 45 at them.
idk what you mean by this. I don't care if you cheat your way through the game if thats how you want to play. I understand that stuff like farming chunks can simply save tedium (although the drop rates are quite high now). But trainers and save editors will mean more cheaters playing online.
My current character gleefully murders every NPC with a reinforced club.
