Rhea Quest Bug

[Knightmage Bael]

I beat the taurus, butterfly, and gargoyle alts, but Rhea never appeared. Petrus was still standing there as normal though, and so I went to kill the capra demon. After I did so, Rhea did not appear yet either - but Petrus was gone.

So the game skipped a step on me somehow? I'm not quite sure what happened or how.

I think if you kill two other bosses after capra you can miss her, have you checked down in the Tomb of Giants if she was already down there?

[JamuThatsWho]

Killing Capra is the trigger to get Reah and her friends to appear at Firelink. Killing more bosses triggers them to move on.
It doesn't affect the outcome of the quest either way.

[Call Sign: Raven]

You have to ring both bells to make her appear, in addition to killing Capra Demon.

[Knightmage Bael]

Well I killed Capra on my way down to the depths, and down to the second bell. I suppose I could have taken the other r oute, through the forest if I wanted, skip most of blight town and just go straight for her, but I've never needed to do that to make Rhea appear.

I noticed I killed capra, THEN Petrus moved on. I didn't kill two bosses after Capra. So that's not the case. I did also go down and kill pinwheel. So I went through the catacombs the first thing, and met patches, before even going up through the burg. I wonder if that played a hand.

generally the capra slay is what triggers it.

[dogmatictea]

capra slay triggers it. I just did a swift WotG dash for my char on a NG. Jump from climbing up that ladder by Undead Male Merchant down to Cap, threw stinky bois at cap (that's my secret, cap). and She was chilling with her party by petrus. Rush down the quick fall-y way to LEEEERRRROOOOY and bop up a pinwheel to move them to tomb of giants. Greet matey patchy and let him yeet you down there. Talk to Rhea, kill her bois, kill skele columns and either homebone if you didn't touch a bonfire, or if you touched the tomb bonfire like me, climb ladders and pick up TWoP and fall in the soft part of the ground by it to rush back to firelink.

To get to Rhea underneath the undead bells, just rush to tarus, kill boi. b8 dragon into flying over, but chill near sunbro. Rush to mid bridge, wait for dragon to h8 your campin' ass and pop down for a ground view, run past to bonfire, open door. From there, just run up the stairs to the right of piggy, jump from high point past gate b4 fuccboi closes gate on you, steal that basement key for funsies, and run to the right of the building across the wood bridge so you don't have to deal with stabby pals. Rhea is prayin' like a maiden by your juice enhancer.

Don't worry too much about Rhea, just don't mess with any of Petrus's gang until you make it to the Tomb of the Giants and you'll be fine.

ALSO, after you save Rhea, [[[fucikgn kill Petrus immediately]]]

but yeah that sounds about right. I'll just have to be careful. I'm on NG+ atm just speedrunning for missed NPC quests so I can get the miracles and weapons achievements.

[Gaming Gamer]

She appears if you kill capra, and if you rest at a bonfire then they wiill all be gone. once you've rescued her, she will either get killed by petrus or get kidnapped if you kill around 2 bosses

[Lukcharme]

He can live to the end of the game in the church, regardless of the dead chiefs after .... Just save him in the Tomb of the Giants, kill Petrus and buy all the miracles she sells in church, minus the divine blessing. He will not be kidnapped and will remain until the end of the game.

[Knightmage Bael]

The whole thing with this was that she DIDNT appear when I killed capra. Petrus VANISHED.

Everyone keeps saying "she appears if you kill Capra" and I posted that I did that already and Petrus was gone.

Hence the whole reason for this thread in the first place.

However, I met Rhea deep in the tomb of the giants regardless.

I am inclined to believe this was, in fact, a bug. There's no other explanation I can think of.

(sorry if I sound frustrated. its coming from a RL source outside this thread)
