So I've killed Gwyn yesterday and thought I should start following this thread now that spoilers aren't so much of a concern, and as soon I start reading there's talk of this Kaathe character I don't remember ever meeting (unless it's that wolf thing in the Darkroot Garden who asks you to join a covenant).

How many covenants are there, anyway? I've only found Way of White, Chaos Servant, Solaire's and the wolf-thing's. I thought I was being pretty thorough in my exploration but considering yesterday I was summoned to somebody's world where the Darkmoon Tomb bonfire had a secret tunnel I was unaware of and Anor Londo was much darker than in my game I must have fucked up pretty badly somewhere along the way, and I really don't want to use the guide for anything other than weapon derivation.

Thanks Toll and Cuba.



I had found the one that warps you to Nito's place (the one in the titanite demon corridor), but I only slept in it long enough to get an effect after having already gone through TotG and killing Nito. I'll keep a look out for the other.

Regarding the Pyro, is there any way of meeting him again at all after he leaves? I was searching for him in the swamp because I hadn't bought all his pyromancies and was attacked by an NPC looking suspiciously like him, near the place where the onion guy asks you for moss.

A couple of questions:

1) Sometimes I get summoned to somebody's world and the host just wanders around the same place for 10 minutes refusing to do anything, while not being invaded that whole time. One of those times, I quit using the black crystal, put another summon sign down, and I was summoned to the same guy's world again but as an invader rather than a white phantom. A bug or something else I' not aware of?

2) In NG+ I talked to the wolf-thing behind the locked door in the Darkroot Garden and this time it's not letting me join the covenant. Also, it called me a caitiff. While I appreciate expanding my vocabulary, I'd prefer if it just gave me the option of joining the covenant like it did in my first game.

Thanks again, guys.

Why not kill Ornstein first and go for Gwyndolin after you can warp between bonfires at will? Or is that not possible?

[Cynic]

Spoilers, obviously: You can't fight him in the archives tower, give up. Find a way out of the archives and keep playing the game. I could be more specific but this should be enough.

EDIT: notice that Seath is the only boss (that I know of, at least) where after traversing the white light you can exit through it again. That was what tipped me to give up.

[Cynic]

I'd like to hear more about this, since I'm about to fight him again and wouldn't mind cheesing it.

It does not need to be in the quick slots. You do itin the large room with the magic sentinels before the boss fight. The game prompts you when you're there.

What everyone above me said, adding that the only thing I really wish I had known about is the stamina penalty for equipment load. If your load is less than 25% of your max, you move at full speed, 25~50% at half-speed, 50~100% slowly, and >100% barely move at all. Since I picked a knight, I thought my character was supposed to be always that slow for a very long time.
