so im trying to get the the gate in boletaria 1-1 to open so i can go and kill executioner miralda. but the gate is still closed. im pretty sure the world is pure white i see other phantoms going in and out of it. im in human form and i have killed like 3 bosses and nothing... what gives?

The visual difference between pure white and barely not pure white is negligible; so go kill another boss I suppose.

Try comparing your WT with this page, just in case.

Yeah I took my game offline and killed the red dragon and that got it to open up. The world tendency stuff is really turning me off. Glad it was removed in dark souls.
