Rhea and Petrus

[Reanu Keeves]

Rhea is now on the Catacombs and I bought Lautrec the information he had...Also talked ro Petrus for his side of the story and now I am on my way to save Rhea...should I kill Petrus before entering the Catacombs? Or after I've rescued Rhea?

Killing is wrong.

make sure u killed petrus after u bought all the miracle. And better after rescued rhea

[SuperSam]

Cant say for sure, but you should reach Rhea in Parish as soon as possible after rescuing her, otherwise she will be dead.

Rhea of Thorolund[darksouls.wikidot.com]
[...]There are 2 possible outcomes depending on your action:
If you clear another area instead of immediately going to the Undead Parish after rescuing her:
You will find seven Humanity and a Pendant in front of the altar. If you kill Petrus now he will drop an Ivory Talisman which is unique to Rhea (This only happens if you've gotten Lautrec's tip, otherwise you can usually go to Rhea at your leisure).
If you go immediately to the Undead Parish after rescuing her:
You will find her in front of the altar where you found the Fire Keeper Soul. Now you can buy her miracles. If you speak with her, she will reveal that it was Patches who had trapped herself, Vince and Nico in the pit in the Tomb of the Giants. At that point Petrus had abandoned them but she does not seem to hold a grudge against him for this action.

If at any time you pay Lautrec for information (refer to his page for more information on his tip), he will tell you more about Rhea and Petrus. If you proceed to speak to Petrus, he will threaten Rhea's life and make good on his threat eventually. If you allow him to kill Rhea, you will find seven Humanity and a Pendant in front of the altar and Petrus will now drop an Ivory Talisman. The only way to prevent this is to kill Petrus before he kills her (although you'll still sin if you kill him).

*Even if you go to see her immediately after rescuing her, she could still be killed by Petrus later on. For this not to happen, you will have to either kill Petrus before he kills Rhea, or buy all of her unique items so that she is found in to The Duke's Archives (and becomes hollowed). So, if you simply talk to her, or only buy some of her items, she will remain in Undead Parish, and will still be killed by Petrus eventually.*

So...I have to
1) Save Rhea from the Catacombs
2) Go to Undead Parish and talk with her
3) Talk to Lautrec
4) Talk to Petrus
5) Kill Petrus


Right?

Do what you want. She's doomed anyway ☺

If you clear two area bosses (this does not include every boss) after saving Rhea and before killing Petrus he will kill her. Best bet is just to save her and kill Petrus immediately or kill him after he gets back from the Catacombs.

Got it...the fat monk shall perish beneath my blade!

She is not in the catacombs, ya know.
She is in tomb of giants.
But anyway, buy all the stuff from Petrus if you need it and then kill him for safety

You can technically, if you have the souls for it, buy all of her merchandise (except the talisman) and just let her hollow in Duke's. Killing Petrus not necessary.

Well, he was a scumbag for leaving her defenseless in the first place...so he must pay for his dishonor...with death
