SpoilerThe closest bonfire that I could find was just outside the hill, down just past the weird wooden elevator-type thing. The only other area I thought to explore (but didn't) was the area just below the room with the second bell; didn't want to risk the fall damage killing me right after getting 20k souls from Quelaag.

Where is this hidden bonfire?

Also, there's an egg guy after you break the wall.

Don't attack him.

SpoilerHe's a vendor.

I'm having a couple issues with this dialogue system. I've had at least two occasions now where the phrasing of the question that you're supposed to be answering left me unsure of what "yes" and "no" actually meant.

For example, the pyromancer NPC early on asks you something like:

"I could teach you pyromancy if you'd like, but perhaps it's something that you're opposed to."

I remember saying "yes", in response to the first part of the sentence, and because the affirmative response usually indicates that you're up for whatever they're asking in video games. But here "no" is the proper response, in reference to the second half of the sentence.

Thankfully, you can just ask him again.

I got slaughtered by a dude wearing Fatty Armor (Smough's set), and a Painting Guardian sword.

I hate how you still get bleed damage by blocking the hits with a shield.

I dunno, I don't normally use it.

Also, getting 21k souls per Forest run is nice (now that I'm level 110 >__________________>)

I dedicate my 1000th post to Lord Gwyn. The ****** is now dead at my feet.


Praise the Sun!

Yeah, in New Game+.

Soul rewards are tripled (from monsters, not collected as loot).



Also, New Game+ seems to remember which bonfires I kindled in the first play through, so you guys should kindle as many as you can before you move on.

There's one relatively soon up the hill from Firelink.

You don't really need to jump, just a roll should do it.

For the bonfire, I find the one near the Blacksmith in Undead Parish is pretty convenient.

SpoilerAlso, the rusted ring.

Ideally, you want to hit up the tutorial area before Blighttown.

Joined the Chaos Covenant, just 'cause I had the Old Witch's Ring.

Well I managed to get the key, but when I tried to roll onto that ledge again, I failed and died. Moar Blighttown fun. I think I'm going to farm leeches for a while and throw ny summon sign up.

The covenants are mostly for multiplayer. Some will give you a specific goal for invading and other will make it easier to co-op with people of the same covenant. If you're not into PvP or co-op, there's really no advantage in joining a covenant other than the reward. You can easily finish the game without joining any.
