Sadly the shield is actually way too far for it to have gotten there by Patches falling, but one can fantasize!

It might be light enough to glide there, with a lot of luck, and wind

But it is well, on a Corpse

Unless you say an unfortunate soul was crushed by it

Well, we assumed a cleric from Thorolund went from the tomb of giants to firelink shrine, died and had his greatshield glide to a 2 meter wide sloped walkway on the side of a giant bridge hundreds of meters away.

One more "unfortunate" soul wouldn't change much at this point.

High practices price gouging. He also tried to kill me three times. Twice in Demon's and once in Dark. (Actually twice in Dark. Once I answered yes to his cleric question.)

Patches? He's such a good bloke, I can't believe it! Even warns you about Lautrec, Shiva and Petrus.


I discovered that Nito has a grab attack. In one fight he tried to do it four times, which is odd - never seen it before. Also worryingly, it looks like he's about to probe you with a single, glowing red finger. Eep.

^I think some bosses save some of their moves for NG+ playthroughs. Like the Bed of Chaos raining fireballs from the ceiling. I'm not sure I'd seen it in NG, or extremely rarely, but it's not that rare in NG+s.

@Bager

Well he is convenient for reaching low areas without taking fall damage! Only when there's a cutscene and no rotating bridge involved, though.

I Discovered that you cannot make Shields Chaos

On NG++++ at the gargoyle church, Solaire and Lautrec are better than human players for trolling invaders. I stumbled on this by accident, an Invader spawned right next to Solaire Summon Sign when I was going to the boss. So I decided to hang out with them for a while.

SL200, I came up the back way from Darkroot Basin, summoned both of them and then let them clear the church and the entire Undead Burg around the church. The Boar, Blk Knight, all the Hollows, 4 Invaders and the Gargoyle Bosses. All in 1 try, those guys are BEASTS!

Solaire died in the Gargoyle boss fight, Lautrec survived, but Solaire did a lot of work on the Boar and Blk Knight. When we charged the Boar area, the hollow that closes the gate made it to the lever and pulled the gate down, but Lautrec followed and killed him. Then Solaire and I were separated from Lautrec, we continued on all the way around the other way back to the church. Lautrec pathed all the way around the burg eventually finding us and rejoining. There was also and Invader in my game this whole time, who eventually was killed. We took out 4 Invaders total before killing the boss.

^ It seems like Lautrec almost always outlives Solaire, which really surprises me, considering Solaire has a shield. Almost every time I've summoned them for long periods of time Lautrec has survived for much longer. He completely destroyed an invader for me once. I'd been fighting him in the large room where you first meet Domhnall, and Lautrec hadn't gotten there yet. The invader just happened to have his back to the door when he came jogging out, hit him with a 2 hit combo, and then BSed him, killing him.

Hollow Theif hood Completely darkens your characters face. It's kinda cool looking

It is even more drastic when Hollowed.

Man I dont care, patches is a boss to survive the cross dementional journey and tomb of the giants. So he did try to kill me, he said he was sorry...

I actually like it when you're summoned as a white phantom it looks like the light at the end of the tunnel.

Also, what?!? You can't make shields Chaos? Man, I'm clueless...

Why would you want to make any shield, other than attack shields, chaos anyway? Shields have no chaos protection stat, so literally the only thing you'd be enhancing would be there attack, which is only helpful for a handful of shields anyway.

Don't want to, I always go normal path with shields. It's just very curious that you can make every type of shield but that type.

You can get an extra pendant by killing people in the forest covenant...

Perhaps if you get 99 of them...

I'm pretty sure there someone somewhere who farmed them, throughout the NG+'s, or a hacker, who edited them into his inventory.

There can't be secrets in a PC game

I've had 99 of them for a while. I'm still waiting to find something honestly.

I just discovered that when I grab the Asylum West key from the top of the structure in Firelink, that I don't need to jump down and ride the elevator back up to climb to the crows nest.

From the top of the building you can roll back unto an area that is at the base of the stairs to the crows nest.

That's not entirely true. Shields can be made into any type that can be directly ascended from the normal path, so: normal, fire, lightning, magic and divine. But no chaos, occult or enchanted.

Nice, I hate doubling back to the elevator. Will have to look for that.

Another one that I noticed yesterday on my str build was that I can't switch my weapon from 2-handed to 1-handed or vice-versa unless I have positive stamina (even though it doesn't seem to cost any stamina to do it). Never noticed this on my low stamina cost dex builds and thought my controller was why I was having problems switching or blocking.

I can't quote your post Befolwer? Anyway, I noticed that too, depleting your stamina prevents you from switching from 2H to 1H until you have a tiny bit again.

About this Chaos Shield thingie .

I wanted to make Elemental Bonewheel Shields, one Chaos and one Lightning . Now i only have 2 boring lightning Bonewheel Shields

That unlike the broken sword hilt, the normal broken sword even has a acabbard.
