Discoveries you only made recently.

Just discovered today that the orange charred ring gives your kicks fire damage. Also discovered today that the Covenant of Artorias disappears in NG+. I've gone through NG+s before, but I guess never tried to fight Four Kings before Sif.

EDIT: Actually another discovery the other day -- NPC black phantoms don't invade if you're invaded by another player. So I had an invader somewhere and was trying to trigger Kirk in the Depths, but no go. When I killed the invader by Gaping Dragon's fog, Kirk invaded even though I wasn't in his area.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, another. So after I beat 4 Kings I was able to warp out of the Abyss even though I didn't have the Lord Vessel yet. I guess that only makes sense, but I hadn't thought about it before.

I discovered that once you get to the building with the second banshee in New Londo, if you run a circle through it and leave through the exit towards the Seal, pretty much all the ghosts follow you. And it's a lot of ghosts. I killed em all too with nothing but a Jagged Ghost Blade (didn't use curse). Once nothing was following me any longer only the banshee and 1 ghost were left. I think the banshee follows you pretty much anywhere too, I just didn't pull her.

This is also a perfect way to clear the area of ghosts (most of them at least). Just pull out a pyromancer flame, a great fireball and a bellowed dragoncrest ring if necessary and fire away.

Vagrants actually exist, they aren't just a complex fabrication created to annoy me.

Estoc/Spear + Falchion in off-hand is Really good! You can get so much extra damage from the ''High-speed Falchion'' and the Estoc/Spear (I use Silver Knight Spear) is good for some poking

P.S. Shields are for Patches aka. Cowards!

Notched whip does very minuscule damage to the flame wielding sleletons in the depths.

Rhea's entourage can backstab you...

Flame wielding sleletons in the depths?
What the ***

i dont think i said this one yet but i discovered that in Sens you can jump from that very narrow path with 4 guilotines at the end you can jump from the beggining of it to were the mageserpent stands on that little ledge. the way i found this out was i got invaded by someone in full havels with havels shield and a spear and they just sat there blocking at the end of said path so i said F*** it and jumped over there and made it safely, then proceded to walk around and kick his wussy @$$

In Demon's Souls: You can't die until the Vanguard kills you.

You can just sit there and let monsters beat on you. All day.

That one I did not know and I played demons a lot.

The Kiln of the First Flame is more open than you'd think. There are small valleys in the ash along the sides that you can go quite far into. One off to the left can get you out of vision from pretty much anywhere in the area.

Yes, your health stops at '1' in the tutorial, but I think it's only until you open the last fog before the boss.

He means the Torch Hollows/Dredglings.

Oh, well, those aren't skeletons

Clearly a case of undead racism, skeletons and zombies all look the same to him.

Next time, he declares all hollowed as skeletons. Pfui!

I am appalled at the level of death-discrimination here! Why does it matter if they died skeletons or hollows?! We're all jolly undead outcasts, aren't we?

I always wondered why cursed weapons didn't inflict curse. It didn't make much sense to me, but hey, what do I know?

I discovered that I'm adopted

Oh, on that note, I recently found out that you can spread the egg-head condition through kicks once you reach the "third stage." I don't know if I've ever reached the third stage, 'cause you only need the second to get the pyros from Eingyi. I thought about running around with egghead permanently, but it didn't quite seem worth it...

well worth it no but it is quite funny to run around with it and invade or host invasions and spread the disease

Silver knights in Anor Londo can open doors. The animation is really funny given their size.

A particularly laggy Super Ornstein can also lightning impale and lift 3 characters into the air at the same time, in nearly a full circle around him. (Not too proud of discovering this one)
