Fragment branch of yore

[Liz]

So I got to shaded woods. and after exploring all of it I came into locked door.
now I googled what to do and find out that I need to kill a petrified lion there he will drop the key.

but the problem is I don't have a frag branch of yore. I already used 2 i found one on straid and other on the statue to open the way to shaded woods.

any idea where I get the next ?

explore further: there's a boss in the shaded ruins, you basically don't need the branch of yore to progress. But I recommend to unpetrify the lion once you get another branch (there are more than plenty in the game), as the key will lead to an useful NPC.

There's two in harvest valley. To get there you must pay 2k souls to the miracle trader.
She will be down the stairs from Majula to Heide's tower if you exhausted her dialogue at Heide's.

so should I let Ornyflyx or whatever to cry there for now ?, and I already been to harvest valley i think

[Liz]

ok so I realised what I done wrong... I killed that manscorpion tark. when I should have talk to him to get the fragment... what do I do now ? i can't open ornifex door ?

Iron Keep has a Fragrant Branches of Yore.

but I heared there only limited yores. I missed one is this critical ? or I can wait later for ornifex ? and ignore another place that neet branch ?

[bozohontas]

kill boss of shaded ruins and man scorpio will give you a branch. there should be a tombstone where you can revive him.

[Liz]

where is the tombstone ?

[bozohontas]

Tombstones of killed NPC's are usually at the place where you killed them. Reloading game may be required. You need to pay with souls to revive them.

I searched all this area, and restarted game twice. no sign of tombstone

[crezeh]

Tombstones take several in-game hours before they appear. You may have to wait.

As for fragrant branches of yore, there are 4 place where you'll want to use it, and 8 to be found around the world. Be patient, keep an eye out, and you'll find another one as you explore.

The Gutter/Black Gulch entrance has one. Defeating the Lost Sinner will yeild one too. Huntsman's Copse also has that item.

Magerold, the merchant in Iron Keep sells one.

[opiate2299]

Once you get one, in Shaded Ruins there is a petrified lion on your right as you're going to the gate to the boss, which is a little further up on your left. If you unpetrify and kill him, the chest beyond him has some items and another branch of yore.

This definitely needs a thread of its own:
