It will. As soon as the gate opens, you can break your covenant as much as you want. You can even come back to her, and then leave her and break her heart again, come back, leave, break her heart, etc. You'd be a horrible person to do that though. But the door would still be open.

Ha, no. Every door/gate/fog you opened will be closed again upon starting the following playthrough. Your progress in each covenant will go back to zero as well, and you will also lose some items needed to enter certain areas.
A tiny precision about the
Chaos covenant

Not entirely true, the covenant you stay with as you move into NG+ remains at that level.
Ha yes, you're right. My bad.

Is it possible to respec ever after you've put levels points into a character?
I think I made a huge blunder with one of my favorite builds, not realizing the mistake until much later... basically 15-20ish points completely wasted.
I am filled with regret.

Well, then is there any benefit to high DEX? I was initially lvl'n it because I had an S bow, but once you upgrade the bows you lose the DEX benefit... making it useless, as far as I can tell.
I could have pumped that into VIT or RES and been much better off.

If DEX scales with your main weapon fine, then its no problem. But its much more about what you want to do. I mean people who do PVP are usually at certain levels and they level up for their main weapons, skills to have the maximum benefit. So if you are comfortable with what you have and not interested in PVP so much (and if your main weapons/weapon scales with DEX) then you are fine i guess.
If you can give detail on your stats and weapons you use, i think me and more people would be able to give more accurate info on your situation.
This game has such great enviroments, I just made it into the crystal cave and I'm just wondering around minding my own business looking at all the pretties
Impaled by a butterfly.....BUT IT WAS SO PRETTY !!!
The walkways in blightown made me nervous...so lets up the ante and make them FUCKING INVISIBLE!?! YEAHHHH!

YAY!
I went to Duke's Archives earlier today and managed to plow through it all, eventually. Seath was a piece of cake with the Great Lightning Spear, just ten of those. Then I went to Demon Ruins and fought my way to the second bonfire, where I picked up my coop friend again. Did the two next bosses and then pretty much destroyed Lost Izalith. Bed of Chaos was annoying but once I learned the pattern it was mostly a question of getting that jump right.
Then I did New Londo Ruins up until the boss and did Four Kings in the first try after summoning my pal again at the boss (his character was rather uber, but did die before the last king). Then down through catacombs again and again coop through Tomb. Nito was really simple with the two of us using magic.
Finally a trip to Gwyndolin for two quick trophies. I considered levelling up a few more weapons with all those titanite things, but I wanted to get this over with. Then a short trip to the Kiln and finally I'm done with this game. Good riddance!

Sounds like you upgraded it wrong. Only the 'normal' path (goes up to +15) will scale with your main stat. Divine, Lightning, etc will either switch the scaling stat or eliminate it altogether.
The bow you had is just fine, btw, and high dex is very good. 45 is as far as you need to go though.

I put lightning on the bow... but at the cost of my DEX bonus. My character's DEX is 40... that's not too high?
I wanted a bow build... and so I was pumping into DEX early to get the buff... but then it seemed like the upgrades pretty much negated that bonus.
I'm trying to play without a wiki, so things are confusing sometimes. I don't actually know what's possible with weapons until I find an ember and then a BS who can smith with it... so it's touch and feel. I was afraid my haste to buff my DEX bonus with the bow in the early game was a poor decision that would cost me now that I'm progressing...
I don't want to look at a wiki (ruins the fun! sometimes haha) but are there any weapons that would benefit from 40 DEX? Feels like I should have put 10-15 of those points into vitality or something.
Keep Dex at 40, make a +15 uchigatana or +15 iaito. They can also be enchanted and do even more damage.

You could bottomless box glitch over all your items & unconsumed souls into a new character though.

Lightning on bow is useless because you need lightning arrows to get the effect, which does not exist.
I recommend to revert your bow to +10 then ascend it to +11, continue upgrading it and it will kick ass especially if it's the Black bow of Pharis.

Check on Dragon Head Stone glitch too.
Didn't 1.05 killed this?
Basically all of them tend to be near the bonfire, yeah, though there are sometimes a couple in front of the boss door and I've seen dueling signs in the main courtyard from time to time.
Bonfires and boss doors tend to be the primary locations in general for co-op signs.

It did but you can delete the game data. Create new character, do the glitch, level up and install the patches later.
I managed to get a LOT done in Dark Souls
but now I'm stuck in the Painted World without Blooming Purple Clumps. I didn't realize some of the enemies are toxic.
So basically I'm dropping a summon sign and going through the world to make sense of it. Then, this dude invades me and he's next to impossible to kill. Any attack barely takes 10 hit points off of him. The only thing that seems to work is toxic cloud. Plus, he's moving really fast and doing the ninja rolls without seemingly stopping. I don't know if he's cheating but most people that have invaded me don't move that fast.
fought the Executioner & Dragonslayer bosses with co-op help online and got the Lordvassel

if you're on ps3 what soul level? I might be able to give you some moss. also, if you kill those enemies with a fire weapon, they won't make you toxic.
You're good, 40 Dex is great, 45 is even better if you are gonna use Pyromancy. Black Bow of Pharis at +15, Longbow +15 and Composite Bow +15 all do a lot of damage with 40 Dex. I like Black bow best for the shot range, but Composite has a quicker firing rate. Any katana is good for 40 dex, Washing pole being the exception because it has shit scaling. Balder side sword, Lifehunt scythe, Chaos blade are all great pure physical dex weapons fully upgraded.
Resistance is a worthless stat by the way, don't level it.
No, just don't beat the final boss if you want to keep playing on that playthrough.
i finally bought this game after renting it when it was released. made a new character and started a new run as a Pyromancer.
i forgot where everything is. cant find that first shop dude and i forget how to open the shortcut to the bonfire in Undeadburg.
having lots of fun and dying a lot! this game is great.

Hard to imagine anyone still playing without the Ninja ring.

It is near the first bonfire. Go back, i think two archers should be on the left. Go there, kill them. There are barrels, they hid the stairs behind those.
I enjoy the game in PvE more without the ninja ring. The rolls give the combat a more interesting pace IMO.

I can't believe people go through this much trouble to be an ass in an online game.
There are legitimate uses for it. If you lose a save, or really mess up your build. You can speedrun to the great dragon in a few hours and glitch back up to your old SL in much less time than completely restarting.
The SL glitch is harmless, just means they're going up to sl120 or whatever high level they need to hit. It was even easier to soul glitch in DeSouls, anyways.
What if the designer is a woman? Bad level design is not exclusive to men!

I would like to punch them because they made it easier. The fact that they didn't keep the original concept (complete darkness + longer agro range + skull lantern only available in the TotG) sucks.
Now this place is no longer as terrifying as it used to be.

I finally had some time dive back into this game, I really need longer sessions than my regular 30-45 minutes that I get during weekdays.
I cleared Anor Londo. To my amazement, I rushed past those archers without any problems, probably dumb luck. I'd been fearing this part for weeks, but I managed to easily dodge all arrows and beat the archer. It was one of those stressed, frantic fights where you end up (somehow) dual-handing a spear (after first clumsily switching to a bow at close range) and trying to use green blossom rather than a flask. I guess my motor skills are somewhat lacking.
I helped some people to beat Smough & co and managed to beat them myself on my second serious attempt. It is amazing how skilled my online guys were - i assume these were not first timers. I feel bad for the people that select me to aid them as a phantom. I'm good at drawing aggro for 30 seconds, though!
Finding a lightning spear made life a lot easier. I've got it to +2 and it has served me well for the last few parts of the game. Should I stick to my Eagle shield +5?
Any advice for the next area (Duke's Archive, I think?) regarding weapons? I still have all boss souls.

TOG is not bad level design O_O
if anything, this!
My problem with the lightning spear is that I hate the move set. If you give us your stats we'll be able to give some weapon recommendations. The enemies in Dukes hit pretty hard. Eagle shield is pretty good, but you'll want a parrying shield for the last boss.
So I've got a titanite slab and a titanite chunk -- should I feed these to the serpent on hold on to them? I've already got my weapons set -- Lightning Iaito +2, Claymore +10, and lightning Spear +2.. Also, what would be the best route to take with my Claymore? I'm not on NG+

Hold on to them. There's no point in feeding the serpent anything. I would use them to upgrade your lightning iaito further. At +5 it's a beastly weapon and it makes the lightning spear useless.
Keep the slab and find more chunks. What does your build look like? A Claymore +15 is an excellent damage dealer with quick attacks if you have decent STR and DEX and even more so with enchantment.
