NG+ Solaire not at Anor Londo fireplace?

He was there during my first game. Any idea why he wouldnt be at the Anor Londo fireplace in NG+? I know i spoke to him in undead asylum.

Solaire? In Undead Asylum? Where?

Sorry, i meant undead burg.

Oh I see. hmm... thats interesting, I think he appears in Anor no matter if you have summoned him or not

Sometimes he gets glitched in NG+, so no worries. You should still be able to summon him for O&S fight.

Sometimes NPC's just glitch out. Try reloading, homeward boning, dying, etc. If he hasn't popped up after that you may be one of the many NG+'ers that have had him decide to hang out on the balcony in the Undead Burg like a lazy douche. If you aren't worried about his story arc then you should be able to get him for O&S (though likely not Centipedosaurus Rex or Gwyn). Are you a Darkwraith caryover from your first playthrough? I had him stay in Undead Burg on NG+ for my dex build character because I was still a Darkwraith (I know...pointless for a PvP gimptard like me to be in a mainly pvp focused covenant). But then again I may have just had him glitch out and assigned some random association to my covenant status.

Off the top of my head I can't think of any interaction points you could have missed between the Zombie Proejcts and Cloud City.

::It's like the *** thing with Frampt where you have to go and dump your upgrade mats into a bottomless box and then take them back out again in order to get him to be able to break them down for you.::

edit: lol for t-i-t-a-n-i-t-e getting tagged as a naughty word. I approve gents that made me laugh!

Thanks for the replies gang. Ill have to check again when i get home from work but given that I fought O + S a million times last night (gimped pyro hand post-patch + NG+ = ouch) he has had more than enough chance to respawn there. This sucks because I was interested in his story arch on this run since I didnt see it through to completion my first time. I'm actually chaos alignment (thats the mute spider lady, right? Its been a while). So I dont know if that has anything to do with it but it shouldnt.

I was just having this issue, so I Googled the issue and I found this post. Since then, I may have finally figured it out.

I'm in NG+, and the first time I came to Anor Londo, Solaire wasn't there, even though I'm pretty certain I spoke with him initially in the Undead Burg. So I went ahead and continued the game, killing O&S and getting the Lordvessel. I think I came back after this and he still was not there. Anyway, I went back to the mainland and did some stuff, but the one thing I did that I think affected it was that I went back and spoke to him again. THEN when I came back to Anor Londo he was sitting there.

I'm not sure if there are any other circumstances in my game that caused him to finally appear, but if it's any help, since my initial visit to Anor Londo I also did the Siegmeyer of Catalina subquest all the way up until Blighttown (meaning I completed the Blighttown portion of it), I went down into the Great Hollow, got to Ash Lake, activated both bonfires, DIDN'T kill the hydra, and spoke to the dragon and cut off his tail (this probably wouldn't have anything to do with a possible glitch, but it's better to state it in case it actually does. I have NOT placed the Lordvessel yet, but I HAVE drained the area in New Londo ruins, though I don't have the abyss ring (but I did open the Crest of Artorias door and I have killed the moth boss). Perhaps one of these things somehow caused him to trigger, but I really think it was just talking to him again. If that doesn't work, maybe someone wants to try what I've done and maybe he'll appear then.

Happy hunting!

Update again, I went ahead and warped to the Sunlight Alter, and he IS in fact there, so it appears that his questline will be able to continue without further problems.
