Do what I did. Summon 2 people in. Makes that fight pretty easy. I don't think I could do that by myself with my current stats.

Looking at the votes, I see no one else here is as hard as I am ;-)

Not really, It's all about preference

Personally I like the longsword and use a bow a lot too.

No clerics, interesting. FSW in hardcore mode, /bow

**Neon Ignition** · 12-10-2011, 13:17

I think that the key is still there, I found the binoculars in the Graveyard near Firelink Shrine even if I've chosen them as my gift.
Both the crimson armor set and the dedicated key should be directly above where the Firekeeper soul is and it's the right path if it ends in a dead end; the cave leading to the Valley of Drakes is in the opposite direction.
Probably the ladder you're missing is the one where the path splits, if you go right you go to the firekepeer soul and the dead end, up you go to the shortcut.

I'm at the very top! There is no ladder up becase its the top!

Somthing weird is happening here. Half the messages that are around say shortcut and the other half say liar.

There is no shortcut here in my game. And there was no key either.

The path splits before the top. At one point (roughly halfway to the top, a couple of stairs after the threadmill, there's a giant tree branch you can go over) you can climb up and you end up taking the shortcut, the other goes right and eventually leads to a dead end. They both go up at some point, but the path for the shortcut to Firelink Shrine does not have toxic darts and is far more direct.

I have been both ways! There is no shortcut in my game! You can't miss ladders, they have torches on them! This cave just isn't there, there are just loads of planks of wood everywhere.

I still stand by my opinion that you are missing a ladder somewhere. It's more than strange that you don't have part of the world. If you have the master key you can trace your steps back from Firelink->New Londo->Valley->Blightown and see where you end. It's a long trip, that's for sure.

There are no ladders to miss, every level only has one ladder on it.

I cross the tree trunk and go up the laders as you say, then another ladder and then there is nowhere to go, the way forward is blocked off with a wodden plank.

Anyone been to new londo yet? I'm just wondering if there's a bonfire there. I've just tried to fight the

Top tip for PS+ subscribers:

After each session, upload your game to the cloud. Then, if you accidentally do somethign really dumb e.g. kill the only NPC in the game that sells the stuff you want, you can quit, download the save and you've only lost at most one day's activities, hopefully less.

I found it!

I thought you were saying it was after the tree branch, but it was before that and the other way on the way to the firekeeper soul!

Guess i was being stupid, anyway thanks for the help.

Had a look round new londo and got slguhtered when 20 ghosts ganged up on me, I dont think i will go back there again for a bit.
