Forlorn Set + Weapons

[Wicked]

Hey,

I fought against the Forlorn I guess like 4 or 5 times, in the Forest of the Fallen Giants, Shrine of Amana and Undead Crypt. Maybe 2x in the same location, however I am able to buy all 4 pieces of the set from straid. I also went to Aldias Keep and summoned the Forlons and killed them, but where are the weapons? Do they at Aldias Keep even count?
Are you even able to influence his spawning with the dried fingers or the ring of the blood covenant? I mean it's nice to have the armor set, but I would also like to have the weapons, especially since I want to collect some armor sets and other crafting items before I start with the DLCs.

Anyone got the weapons or a sort of a tip? I saw 2 videos on YouTube where the locations are mentioned, but that guy won't spawn. Should I play offline and play the dried fingers + some other sort of calling invader tools? I read that he isn't scripted and just will appear, but can you influence his appearing?

Forlorn are just plain random sadly. You just gotta play and hope they show up. Took me 80 hours to get everything.

Get invaded by him 6 or more times and the weapons should be able to be purchased from Straid (the greatsword at the least, according to the wiki)

Does the summoning in Aldias Keep by lighten the torches count or only invades from him?
Since I mostly finished the main game and only search for secrets or other loot, will he also spawn in the DLCs, if he won't invade me in the main locations?

I'd figure only the invasions count, one way to do that is to play offline and use all the invasion increase items

What increases the chance of an invasion? I know that if you're human the chance is higher to get invaded? Dried Finger sets the invasion timer back and the ring of the blood covenant also increases the chance of an invasion. Is there more?

Thanks!

Forest of the fallen giants you said? where exactly?

[Justinyl]

Kills get carried over to new game plus, so you can try again in next game cycle

[Wicked]

I already got the full set ;)

Second bonfire shrine of amana -> spawns with the scynthe!
First bonfire Forest of the Giants -> run around that tree, if he doesn't show up use the feather and try again. Also if you use a bonfire astetic he will spawn again! Repeat. Do it offline and make a backup of your game, for the case he doesn't show up. I used a bonfire ascetic, walked there, killed him, used another bonfire astetic. (The tree where the heide knight is in the old DS2)

His spawns are in some way player specific, so you should have the backup in case he doesn't show up, so you didn't waste a bonfire ascetic.

the fight in aldia's keep does not count according to the wiki.
One way to 100% spawn forlorn is to burn an astetic at the first bonfire in the huntsman copse. Go to the two sickle wielding undead and kill them both. Forlorn spawns right after that, but this one always wields the greatsword.
