Any puppets worth destroying questlines?

[Tyler McRae]

I want to do a run that focuses on using spirit summons. I.E., using healing spells and buffs only, and focusing on using spirit ashes to fight bosses. My question is, are there any questlines that are worth giving up for the puppet you can get by giving them Selavus' potions, or are the pups not really worth it, compared to the other spirit ashes in the game?

Dung eater puppet might be worth it according to some. Anything else...honestly I've never found the others to be useful. Dolores the sleeping arrow might be useful for the godskin duo, but that's all that comes to mind.

I dont know if it makes you miss a quest or whatever, but i ve seen managing him quite well in endgame areas and some mini bosses.

Would be a perfectly valid asset for the OPs run.

If you want the Dung Eater puppet, you can still get his armour. Just murder his comatose form after giving him the potion. The armor will drop and Seluvis will still sell you his puppet.

Mind you, you have to do this right after giving him the potion, or he will disappear from the sewers.

You can obviously not turn DE into a puppet if you want his special ending.

He's one of the best summons, but costs 118 fp to summon, so if you don't put points in mind he'll be worthless.

Why is he so good?
I just kill him on site, he is disgusting.
I hate what they suggest he does to dead bodies.
As soon as I see him, he has around 10 seconds left to live.

You can mix a tear to not consume fp. So you can use him

Puppets worth destroying you say? Well there is this blue 4 armed puppet that started this whole disaster...

Good poise, aoe debuff, ranged homing spirit explosion, causes bleed in melee, very tanky.

Puppets are good. They aren't the best, but they are fun and serve different purposes.

If you want dung eater you have to folllow the quest in a specific way. I messed up and didnt get the shard from altus plateau before i finished the dung eater portion of the quest and was locked out of getting him. (if anybody would be willing to drop him to me please let me know)

Finger Maiden Therolina Puppet is amazing at killing Revenants. I'm not sure if she can be missed though.

Every character i play with always gets 23 points into Mind, that gives you enough FP to summon any Spirit Ash in the game.

Did you find Cerulean Amber Medallion +0 / +1 / +2 and lower FP to not be enough? You could just swap it in and out as needed, since you can't use spirits everywhere.

That's assuming you want to give up a talisman slot. I usually would rather not.
