pmm_fin Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Simple question: I have offered 30 humanities to get the pyromancy and access to the short cut from Ruins to Izalith. Do I need to be inside the covenant to open it or is it now forever open for me? If I join another covenant and rejoin Chaos Servant, do I resume my level there? Generally: Do the covenant progersses stay if joining another and joining back? If yes, do incomplete level advancing also stay (like giving less than 10 sunlight medals, leave and rejoin, do I only need to give the remaining to 10 or whole new 10?)?

Blood_Runs_Cold Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 If you leave the chaos covenant after attaining rank +2, and join another covenant, pretty sure the path stays open. I do know that if you get to +2 in chaos, and join another covenant, then join back to chaos, you DONT have to give anything to open the shortcut.

Zansam Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have a file that got to +2, opened door, and actually changed covenants/killed the spider. I'll check to see if the door's open for you before I kill Gwyn in a few hours if nobody else responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akari Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Do you need to be +2 to open the shortcut? I got to +2 in NG, left for other covenants all the time, but didn't open the shortcut because I didn't know about it. In NG+, I went back and rejoined and opened the shortcut. I thought just being a member of the covenant was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zansam Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 just double checked; if you opened it it stays open for the run. Killed the lady and it's still open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomanderuselnu Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Yeah...I forgot to open it before I left and it's closed. Also, the titantite demon stopped spawning there after killing it about 5 times. I'll recheck later - some of the crystal geckos in my game don't exactly respawn on schedule either.

wickedkae Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Quick question about this shortcut. Im level 2 with this covenant and the shortcut isnt open? How do i open it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmm_fin Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 For clarification: I did not open it yet. I left the Chaos Servants and joined another one. Do I need to rejoin to open it or do I even lose my rank in Chaos Servants if I join another and rejoin back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmm_fin Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yes, you lose your rank if you join another covenant and then rejoin. Damn. I guess since I'm only in my first playthrough I will get through it without shortcut since that'd cost me ANOTHER 30 humanitites to get to +2 again.

pmm_fin Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 I have this same situation and question. It's NOT the wall at the end of the corridor with the spider lady I guess even if people leave misleading messages there. It's from Demon Runs to Izalith (or whatever).

fith Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Awesome. Thank you. Was it one of the orange fog gates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akari Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Awesome. Thank you. Was it one of the orange fog gates? After you kill Ceaseless Discharge, you'll run down into the lava past some Capra Demons. After you run past them and a Taurus Demon, you'll see a large fog in front of you, this is the Firesage boss. There is a path to the right that goes down to a large door, this is the shortcut. You shouldn't take it on your first run though, I think the weapon that the Firesage drops is required for the trophy. Plus there's items and such to be found.

If leaving the covenant means you cannot open it anymore (as I understand it means you lost your rank too), then I guess no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matix Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I had been in the Chaos Covenant Rank 2 and left it before I opened the shortcut unfortunately. But after joining again, my rank was back to 1 and I had to offer 15 humanities (not 20 as you need from rank 1 to 2) to increase my rank and finally opened the shortcut.
