stuck in a huge problem after blightown!

ok its not that huge but... (spoilers if you havent beaten the spiderboss at the end of blightown)
i just beat the flame spider with the lady ontop just after blightown (started helping others beat it too and made over 50k within 2 hours !!!) 
after that i rang the second bell, it showed a gate being open in a cutscene which is sooo far back! its nearly impossible for me to go back through blightown and depths again.
 is their a shortcut from where i am?
also another thing, i found a secret path under the bell which led me to this spider girl who let me join her covenant (she gave me a new pyrnomancy move too :P) , i have noooo idea what this covenant is (chaos convenant i think)
i also offered 2 of my humanity thinking something awesome will happen, but nothing happened, at the end of the path their was a blocked wall, can i open that somehow? somebody wrote a message saying "need humanity" and the message had high ratings, can that wall somehow open?
i also found another path leading to the demon caves i think its called (lava everywhere with a red atmosphere) is that my only way forward now? im a pyromancer and it seems i will be going in thier fighting fire with fire, and kind soul here to help me? :(

OMG SOME BOGEY JUST GREW OUT MY HEAD WTF???? whaaatT??!??"?"?"?!?!?!?!

@GeneralMojo_786:

1. You get something after giving her 10 and 30 humanity.

2. There's a quick way back to Firelink near the wooden elevator in Blighttown (just outside of Queelags domain)

3. Have fun with your mutating head (there's antidote for it and you can get it from several places)

@GeneralMojo_786:

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

• You need to donate 30 humanity to open the door you're talking about. It leads to an area you're going to much later in the game, so it's nothing important now.
• I suggest you enter the Demon Ruins (with lava) for a suicide run and pick up the best light armor in the game. It's at an altar with almost no enemies before it. Be aware that when you pick it up a boss will come alive and most likely kill you within seconds. You still get to keep the armor though, so it's definatly worth it.
• There's no easy way out from Blighttown, sadly. The best advice I can give you is that when you exit the spider lair to head to the left side and look for a waterwheel building. Ride the waterwheel up, keep going up on the ladders and stuff, and eventually you'll come to a tunnel leading to Valley of Drakes. Go over a bridge, enter a door to the left, and you're now in New Londo Ruins. Keep heading UP the stairs to an elevator, ride it up, and you're back at Firelink Shrine.

If you give the Chaos Servants 30 Humanity you open a shortcut later in the game, and said shortcut is the only way to save the life on an NPC much later on.

As for getting out of Blighttown - use the waterwheel as an elevator.

@GeneralMojo_786: Also, if you managed to get a thing growing on your head, the egg-dude in the same room as the spider covenant can sell you an antidote.

@Cincaid: i guess the lava area is my only option, theres no way im going to valley of drakes and new anor londo, ive been their both and its not nice, and im most defo not giving away 30 humanity, i barely have 15, i guess its the demon lava whatever area the way for me to go :(

Don't do Demon Ruins, you wont be ready for it.

While the exit out of Blighttown takes you through Valley of Drakes and New Londo Ruins, you don't actually have to fight anything there. Once you're out of Blighttown you're homefree up to Firelink.

The back-end of Blighty leading to Valley of the Drakes really isn't as bad as it sounds. You just cross a rickety old bridge, turn a corner and you're then in the ruins of anor londo, which is perfectly safe. Then just take the lift back up to Firelink.

Actually, this is the preferred way of accessing Blighty for new players, but its only availiable if they chose the Master Key. Lost izalith would be the far deadlier option (depending on you SL).

@GeneralMojo_786 said:

@Aishan: valley of draked has those lightningh dragons which i found tough, and new londo ruins has ghosts which i cant fight, are you saying theres a way i can skip past through? im level 44 you sure i cant handle demon ruins?

Technically, you'll be entering valley of drakes. More specifically, you'll just be bypassing it via a bridge. No enemy encounters of any kind once you're out of Blighty.

@StrikeALight: that huge gate that opened after i rang the second bell, i plan on going past their after i camped at firelink, is that ok for me? im level 44 and im confident in my weapons and pyromancy.

The Ruins and are beyond that door. You'll probrably die a couple of times, but thats to be expected! Just don't wander in with a bunch of souls / humanity that you can't afford to lose, especially if its your first time.

You can't really get anywhere in Demon Ruins yet, save for that sweet light armor. The shortcut past Valley of Drakes is your best bet. Minimal hostility (don't need to fight any dragons, just a couple of giants), and you end up right at the beginning of New Londo Ruins, before the ghosts.

Demon Ruins is a dead end for you right now either way. So yeah, turn back.

i would say to go to sens fort then the forest if not already then take on anor lando. if your up to it you can go into the catacombs but i waited until i was done with anor lando

@GeneralMojo_786 said:

@TheHermaeusMora: where are the catocombs? is sens fort the huge gate that opened? and no way im going anor londo, those ghosts are impossible for me to kill.

Anor Londo and New Londo Ruins are two different places.

Go to the fortress that has opened by ringing the bells now. That's Sen's Fortress. After you completed that, do Anor Londo (becomes accessible after Sen's).

Also, the ghosts in New Londo Ruins aren't that bad. You just have to be cursed to be able to hit them and block their attacks.

And before you go into the Catacombs (behind the graveyard at Firelink), make yourself a divine weapon. I took the Lucerne that I found very early in the catacombs and modified it into a divine Lucerne+5. Catacombs were pretty easy that way.

anor lando is after sen fort you are thinking of new lando and yes its to hard right now. catacombs are past those skeletons that dont give you souls

Go back to sen's than anor londo. You're going to need an antidote (egg vermifuge or w/e) to get rid of that thing on your head. If you don't it will continue to suck up a portion of your souls you get.

After you pick up the light armor in the Demon Ruins and the Ceaseless Discharge *snickers* wakes up, there are two extremely easy ways to kill him. Either run all the way back to where you traversed the white and he will follow you and fall into a bottomless pit OR about halfway back to where you entered the boss fight area there is a crack in the stone you can go up into....he will swing at you back there but his hand can easily be avoided and you can just pick away at his health until he is dead. Easy. Now you can explore some more of the Demon Ruins. Beware the Minotaurs and Capra Demons. Yes, I said Capra DEMONS. Plural.

It's already been said but I'll clarify, the "waterwheel" elevator leads you up to a different path of Blighttown. Before you get on it, there is a bridge made of tree roots. It that leads to a Remedy (sorcery) scroll and some red light clothes. They're not bad but not as good as the gold-hemmed stuff you may have snagged before leaving the Demon Ruins. I've died like 6 times trying to get back over that bridge because there's a little snag you need some speed to cross. Fair warning. =)

There are maybe 2 of those fire breathing squishy things, and if you are quick on climbing the ladders, you probably won't have to fight them. Same with the mosquitos that slowly chase you. I think there may be one or two of those bastard dart shooters. There is a side path up here where you can snag some souls and another Firekeeper Soul.

Grab a key on a corpse at the top, you'll need it if you don't have a Master Key.

Make your way through the tunnel (the colour filter will change to green) and there are 3 giants. Fight or run past them.

You'll come out (colour filter change again) into a huge gorge with paths on either side and a rickety bridge between them. This is part of Valley of the Drakes, but the enemies are so far you can't even see them. You'll be here maybe 15 seconds. Cross the bridge, head to the left, open the gate with your key and take the stairs down.

You'll come out in New Londo Ruins but the only enemies are non-hostile hollows. You can take a trip to the right down some stairs to visit a blacksmith. After that, stick to the left side and follow the walls. You'll climb some circling stairs which leads to an elevator back to Firelink. Climb the stairs and you'll come out near the Firekeeper.

I actually first entered Blighttown this way (I had a Master Key). I couldn't see a damn thing when I got to the swamp at the bottom and decided to return later, hopefully better equipped. At this point I hadn't even entered Lower Undead Burg, let alone the Depths.

wow thank you so much every1, i got time to play some ps3, gona be off to firlink now!

im back now, but can some1 please tell me whats that thing growing on my head??????

You messed with one of those dudes with sacks on their back, and he exploded into a bunch of worms. One of them infected you. You need to use the Egg Vermifuge item (dropped by those green things attached to trees in Darkroot) to get rid of it.

Or you can keep it and it will grow into a worm that will attack enemies when you do the "Kick" attack, but it does take like half of your earned souls.

"Or you can keep it and it will grow into a worm that will attack enemies when you do the "Kick" attack, but it does take like half of your earned souls." - Thats hillarious! thanks for telling me i think ill get rid of it, it takes away from helmet armour stats
