Not much, you get her soul and some treasure. The firekeeper up at the first bonfire in Anor Londo will also attack you on sight, making that bonfire unusable.
So ugh. I was going into the boss for the painting, and same time someone tried to join my game, and so the boss wasn't moving, so I was like oh shit free hits! So I whack the boss, and then it triggers it to talk... I had no clue you could just talk to it, because I thought it was a bug going on. ; ;
Any tips for beating the painting boss? I got insta fucked up.

As far as I know, not really but apparently if you've joined the DarkWraith covenant you get some information about the pygmy.Riposte said:
there's a really interesting thread here with some people trying to piece together the storyline with all the item descriptions to help them out (obvious spoilers here) http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/606312-dark-souls/60612627

Damn Rats poisoned me on my first encounter with them. Luckily firebombs wipe them out easy. And I freaking had the Boar on the ropes but got tagged by one of the fires I was trying to make him charge into. Bah. Oh and I finally killed that bastard Black Knight. It took chucking tons of firebombs at him from up a ladder and yeah, it wasn't as satisfying as going mano a mano with him but fuck that guy.
Ok so... I killed the four kings, and I went to go through the
. This is the biggest, most powerful "wall" I've run into in this game so far.
Where should I go after this? Clearly not there.
Edit: Figured it out. This is not going to be fun. Going to have to wait till tomorrow though because OMG the time again.
door that was opened in Londo....and a Rhino I do almost no damage to beat the shit out of me

The store I went to today says EVERY shipment is selling out on the same day they get it. They are getting 50 every day or two.
Oh, I must ask again: does anyone know the sales, so far? I want this game to be a huge surprise success!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
From Lost Izalith to Crystal Cave... what the hell is going on with this game? It's becoming such a bad game, it's not even funny. Just straight up constant bad design from one place to another... slowly but surely becoming a 5/10 for me and one of the biggest disappointments in recent history.

is it worth going a magic path on weapons or is everyone mostly going divine and then another route from there ?

I agree. I actually didn't die but came frustratingly close a few times due to the framerate
Seriously, the framerate in that place is the only thing (ok, and maybe some of the awkward menus + UI choices) keeping this game from sheer gaming perfection.

Man, Blight town sucks. I hate the guys that latch onto you and start eating you. The dart guys that poison you. Everything is so damn dark.

Wow, that sounds pretty bad indeed. Now you have me intrigued to try those areas out. I find it pretty hard to believe the drop in level design quality can be that dramatic (not doubting you, just saying)... Although it is possible that they simply ran out of time and rushed some areas to meet their deadline.
If that's the case then it will be a real shame

ignoring pvp because of this, even though i'm a huge pvp buff.
Lost Izalith is indeed really bad. I had my first "holy crap i'm about to throw my controller" moment when I tried getting to that first bonfire. I literally had to quit, do something else for 20 minutes then go back to it. The boss was a bit of a headache too, albeit kinda interesting and different from the other boss fights.
Crystal Cave isn't really that bad, imo and especially once you know the route then it's a straight trip to the boss.
The rest of the areas that I've been through so far have been amazing, imo. So much detail and variety. I have to hand it to From for the level of detail in the game. Like how you can see
down below from looking down in the
or how when you first get to
you can see statues of the impending bosses you're about to fight. Just a few examples of things I've noticed in the game. Every area feels cohesive and connected in this world yet feeling very unique and varied at the same time.

I finished this fight last night and it took me at least an hour, and probably a good 10 tries. I refused to do it with any help and I found it to be the most difficult fight I've ever had in a Souls game, especially since my character is melee only.luka said:
After being beaten into the ground for the 8th time or so I decided to give in and kindle the bonfire for some extra flasks. Of course, as soon as I went human to do this I was invaded by some Ring of Fog wearing jerk who proceeded to run circles around me and kill me. I lost 30,000 souls or so from my bloodstain in the boss room, but at that point I was determined enough that I don't think anything could have stopped me.
When I finally beat that boss it was probably the best feeling I've ever gotten from a game. THIS is why I play Dark Souls. THIS is why I refuse to get help when I fight the bosses. THIS is why all my hair will be gray (or gone) by the time I'm finished with this game.

I know this seems petty, but is anyone else pissed off about the Namco Bandai loading screen for this game? It's like, dark, ominous, black, then BLINDING WHITE BANDAI SCREEN, then back to dreary, black ominous. I mean, come on! Why did you have to fuck up the whole initial start up of the game? Couldn't pick a different background color? Ugh.

So Blight Town is the worst area in the history of video games. Ever. Fuck.
Okay I've lost about 4 times now to the painting boss. Anyone?
I am using a halbred to wide swing after I block an attack from where she makes steps in the snow, but I can't see the health bar, and I can't see her. I've lost everytime, because I'm trying to make space and I get insta killed from the back when it does about 80%+ health and inflicts bleeding.

I truly do hope that this is just my case but I've been checking out what people think and it seems to be a pretty universal thing.Glorious_Paradox said:Wow, that sounds pretty bad indeed.

The map design, enemy layout and spawn placement is made by an intern. It's completely rushed in every way, shape and form.slasher_thrasher21 said:
