wtf red drake died after I cut tail

[owlest]

I shot the red drake's tail with arrows and got the drake sword, but for some reason the drake died and gave me 10000 souls, is this a glitch?

I think he is supposed to die when you cut his tail. I'm not sure, though.

No he is not

well, did you use a high AR bow? 'Cause you could've depleted his healthbar by all the arrows.

Dont quote me on this, but i believe when you do get the tail cut, you get the sword and a bunch of souls, as for the dragon are you sure it didnt just fly off? are you positive its dead? a way you can check is to go above, back onto the bridge, and enter the room below where the drake was sitting. rest at that bonfire and quit the game. reload, and immediatly go to leave the room. the drake could be there and fly off as soon as you do that. If the drake isnt there, clear out the rabble on the bridge and head towards solaire, but when you get to the last two hollows, just sprint to the end, the Drake should swoop down like he did the first time. if none of this worked, then the drake is dead. good job, you killed on of the biggest ♥♥♥♥♥ in the game

You dont get Souls for a tail cut. Especially not 10000

You *can* kill the dragon, but in this case it was very likely just a glitch, i.e. he ended up falling to his death or the game misinterpreted his HP. Well, it didn't lead to you getting anything you shouldn't have (from a certain point in the game grinding 10k souls is fairly easy), so I don't think it is a big problem.

It is possible for Hellkite to glitch through the bridge and die in several ways, one of which is after his tail was cut.

[Rithm Fluffderg]

I had the Hellkite glitch out *before* I even got to that bridge, so this isn't that impossible.

Basically, what happened was, I somehow manage to trigger the Hellkite a couple of seconds early when I was heading into the Undead Burg for the first time - so when that cutscene plays where he lands on the bridge to intimidate the player before flying off... he ended up flying much earlier and much LOWER than before, to the point where I was actually inside his back, before he flew off.

It freaked me out, but otherwise nothing different happened.

Look guys, Hellkite gets my award for glitchiest AI during invasions ever.

Firstly, sometimes when you are summoned or invade near that sunuvabitch, there will be fire everywhere as if he happened to breath fire just as you were summoned(even if he remains still).

Secondly, regardless of invader or not, his glitchy fire crap will hit you. Sometimes this catches you right as you are spawning in and it somehows does 100% damage before you even have idle animation frames.

Lastly, I've seen the hellkite Z-fighting teleport between various actions and his normal idle animation on the bridge, causing me to have many panic attacks. This also causes him to do ghost-attacks that both exist and do not exist simultaneously.

That's pretty much actually, considering the fact that you tend to be like level 15-20 when you get there.

How could anyone (playing legitamately) drop that think at the appopriate soul level.

A bunch of arrows, I guess.
