Beat the bell gargoyles, (with a little help from jolly cooperation,) and rang the first bell of awakening.
I headed back to firelink shrine, and when I walked into the pool area, there was this noise like some giant monster snoring, but couldn't see anything.
I was about to head down to the depths, when I realised I still have black knights to fight in both undead burg and parish, so will probably go back to both of those.
Also started upgrading my claymore. I know weapon upgrades are supposed to be the way to go, as they scale, so some you can carry through the whole game, but is it the same for armour? Should I be upgrading that too, or am I better off swapping to later game pieces?
