I did find a new area today! That priestess was standing by that miracle-powered contraption and god knows how long she's been there...
Oh damn, you haven't been there yet? I was gonna mention that but since you just took on the spider woman I assumed you had been through there
TBH I had forgotten about the stoned lady you already unfroze and went through, so I was at a real loss for the longest time. I finally decided to walk down that staircase in Manjula (that leads to the contraption) only because I hadn't been there since the start of the game, and lo and behold it unlocked a whole new area for me.
Happy hunting, there's plenty of shit to do there!
Figured as much. Took down the Skeleton Lords before turning off the game. I died a couple of times but honestly it was a super easy fight. Maybe it's because I'm too a high soul level for that place now.
Ah so you also saved that area for late? Seems easy enough to forget...
Oh did I tell you folks that I killed the scorpion man thingy? I thought he was an enemy and launched an attack from the platform above him. When I realized my mistake was already too late... I had to put him out of his misery. Also saw his tombstone. Yay for not screwing things up too badly!
I'm super friendly! Not my problem he looked like a nasty enemy. And the messages left by people didn't help... It's still not too late though! I can summon him as a ghost by donating 2500 souls to the tomb stone that appeared at where he stood.
