Sometimes my Estus flask seemingly randomly refills itself. What's that about?

I've just found a bonfire near where that guy kicks you off that ledge.

Wow really, that's awesome.

Have you rung the second bell? You might want to leave ToG until you've done that.

The second bell is accessed via the Undead Burg. Did you do the Gargoyles? Behind the church they were on top of there is a key near a portcullis which opens a door between where you fought Taurus and dodged the Drake on the Bridge, you need to be going down there really.

I'm not well versed in ToG but I imagine you'll struggle in there, right Face/etc?

I'm at the bonfire just before the bit where Patches boots you off the cliff. He paid for that mistake with his life.

Hmm, you'll miss being able to buy stuff off him later at firelink then. As our leader in waiting said (vote Tempy btw), you're in the wrong spot for the second bell, it's past the big choppy Capra demon with the pet dogs. If you've killed Pinwheel though and got the Rite of Kindling, that's going to be a massive help later on

He isn't further, just in a different direction.

Cheers M0s.

How am I going to get out of this ditch with the wheel skeletons shit.

You got a key from the Capra demon that opens a door nearby. You'll want to go there. Getting out of the Catacombs at this stage could be quite tough, however.

Hhaaha oh lord you've gone about things in a bastard hard fashion, ZMM. I didn't clear that area until the end of my first run. I'm impressed, though...

Made it back to the first catacombs bonfire! Shit that was tense, haha. I'm even shaking a bit, jeez.

Dark Souls.....makes grown men shake

Ach I am cursed! Should've been wearing my ring. How was I to know that freaky-eyed bug gas would curse me. Found some guy selling crystal weaponry, noticed they have a finite use so forget that. Just bought all his gold pine resin instead.

Took me ages to get the hang of pvp. And even then it's hard. You will get laggy shit from time to time. You can kinda suss it a bit and work around it to an extent, but yeah, you'll see some bs from time to time. It's also harder as the invader for something like forest covie. Dudes will be prepped for pvp. When you invade elsewhere you can be a prick and they'll be fighting game enemies and stuff, but for covie stuff, usually, they'll be waiting, and maybe have a buddy and can heal easily, and will almost definitely be a higher level than you.

@pug: Great work. The good news is you've done some stuff that will things easier for you. That chick you spoke to will reappear in the church. She'll sell the good miracles for you. However, you'll need faith of at least 28 to take advantage of the best stuff (wrath of god). Cheapest and easiest way to uncurse for you will be in the first bell tower, there's a dude there who sells the cure for 3k a pop. (There's another merchant who sells em as well, but it's 6k a pop from her. DON'T go into blighty cursed!)

Meanwhile, a fine morning of Souls for me. Soloed s and o with my new build, took 'em down, easily, first go. Didn't even remember to use wrath of god! Just took my time and ripped o in the first bit, and then used power within in the second half to be doing 250ish a hit. Only had 2 flasks, and that was mainly to be careful in the second bit with health getting leached.

Opened up and cleared all of New Londo too, Farmed the dwraiths again for some chunks. +5 lightning washing pole is serious business. Slightly slower than the other curved swords, but only slightly, with much better range, and some awesome moves. Been darkmoon covie invading as well, aiming for +1 covie so I can get darkmoon blade. 3 s of reprisal so far, 7 to go.

I'm back from holiday and looking forward to pimping out my faithsword tonight. I can't remember exactly where I was but I think it's early AL. Need to hit up the darkmoon bro's for the blade.

Yeah, just got my hands on the cov ring so I'm going to ascend my pyro and then get back to AL for cov joining. I'm still in the basic stages, I've not upgraded my armor/weapons fully just yet.

I've also just realised that I'm going to need to get some serious practice in for dodging. My endgame doesn't see me using a shield.
