Cast Light Spell from Dusk of Oolacile

[The Dogfather]

I read somewhere that when I locate Dusk to purchase a Cast Light spell as later on I would need it...can't remember where but I am sure I'll know it when I get there.

My question is I have just freed her from the Golem and I saw her summons sign on the floor and called her up. I now have the choice to purchase the Cast Light spell (even though I am not a socerer). How many of these do I need to buy for later, I don't really want to find out I have to track her down again because I ran out!

Can someone advise?

According to the wiki, the spell lasts 5 min and u have 3 uses. So in total it will last u 15 min in Tomb of Giants. You will need more than that it you want constant light source throughout the area. However, each spell can be bought only once from one merchant in each playthrough so unless u find another merchant that sells this spell, u won't be able to purchase more.

Having a const light source will help u out a lot but it's not absolutely necessary. I finished the area with only the skull lantern. U can manage pretty well if u use the spell exclusively for fighting and use the lantern (found in the area) for exploring.

And the best method to have light in Tomb of Giants (a light-emitting helmet) is much later in game so if u want u can leave the area for later.

Oh the game asks you how many you want to purchase but I see you can only purchase one.

Thanks - Any other spells one can recommend since I am here with her that might prove handy down the line?

U said u're not a sorcerer so I suppose Hidden Body and Hidden Weapon. All of her spells are rather situational specific and in my case I won't want to waste spell slot for things like repair (powder works fine) and chameleon (seriously who wanna hide).

I am thinking hidden body could come in useful. I think i'll take that one - Thanks :)

if you can try to grab some of her other spells too, hidden body is pretty good...chameleon if you wanna pvp....definitely get her catalyst. and you can summon her anytime in the same spot in front of the lake in darkroot basin.

Just turn the brightness all the way up if you need to.

I always leave the tomb of giants till I have the sunlight maggot, theres no rush to clear the tomb anyway.
Plus I hate those dog things 8D

I use cast light all the time, 15 minutes of light is more than enough to kill the few mobs between bonfires, or die trying in which case you get all your cast light charges back.

If you choose not to increase your intelligence then you can use the skull lantern, or pick up the sunlight maggot instead.

As for the others spells, well chameleon got me 20k souls because the invading player got bored and decided to jump off a cliff, I wasn't in the mood for pvp at the time. I have a habit of buying all spells etc from venders, just in case I decide to pursue them later on.

offer 30 humanity to queelag's sister to unlock way to lost izalith, and take the sunlight maggot (infinite light, but you can't use any helmet)

it is a nice helmet actually, with good fire resist
