Sealed by great lords power

[Magpie]

So it's my first playthrough of this game, and I seem to have made the misake of not looking up what every single decisions I make in will lead to. -_-
I killed Knight Laurtrec and used the firekeepers soul to reinforce my estus without even thinking. I have the lordstone which i read you had to have to open the special fog gates, but I have no fire to place it. Am I screwed? Do I have to restart the game and not make <mentally challenged> decisions?

[SundownKid]

No, you don't actually place it at Firelink. Go from the Firelink bonfire towards the graveyard and you will be able to talk with Frampt and place it.

Not relighting the Firelink bonfire is a bit of an annoyance, but it's not really worth restarting the game over, since you can just warp from somewhere else there if you need to go to New Londo.

Give Lordvessel to Primordial Seprent in Firelink Shrine.

[Hydris]

Lordvessel has nothing to do with Firelink Shrine bonfire (or it's Firekeeper's Soul). You're fine.

In my opinion, keep playing without referencing the results, I think not knowing what things will lead to makes games interesting.

[Dezruak]

Lordestone or Lorde Vessel?
After defeating Ornstein and Smough you need to drop down the hole behind Firelink and place the Lordvessel there. After that the orange fog will lift.

Well the thing about decisions... I randomly answered yes to Laurentius and now hes gone so I don't have any way to upgrade my pyromancy flame.

[Hydris]

There's one other NPC beside Laurentius that can upgrade a pyromancy flame that isn't +10 yet, assuming you haven't made him hostile.

I don't know if your first playthrough will be the only one. I'm in my first run, too... and I've made some mistakes, but since I know that I'll be playing with this character on higher NG cycles, I don't care that much.

Don't worry too much.

[zero hope >:(]

The only way known for me to screw a game is killing Ingward before he gives you the seal key.

[Delta0175]

Guessing it glitched for you? Because he's supposed to drop it upon death unless already given by him when first speaking to him.

Which one is that? Quelana showed up in game before I even really knew what to do with her. I've since been back to try and find her but shes gone.

[Delta0175]

I forget his name, but he's the maggot guy guarding Quelaag's sister.

[Aigle1705]

yea if you are in the chaos covernent the egg-guy next to quelags sister will teach you pyro stuff n upgrade your flame (sister of chaos bonfire)

[Magpie]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah about that... when I first saw him i figured he was just another egg guy like the ones on the ground before quelaag... so I killed him. By the time I started to hear him talk I was already in the middle of a running slash at him with my halberd. Pretty sure I'm screwed unless there's some magical way to make Quelana appear again.

[SundownKid]

Those two guys are the only way to upgrade your flame. So unless it's +10, yes you are locked out of it until NG+.

That's kind of part of the game though. It takes until your second playthough to figure out the right way to deal with NPCs.
