Hello, At the moment I have a specific question I need answered. I'm in my first playthrough of DS1 and I'm aiming to join the Darkwraiths. As such I intended to defeat the Four Kings before going to Sen's Fortress and Anor Londo to get the Lordvessel. However I am having some trouble with that boss and I know that, for example, Havel's set that you find in Anor Londo would be very useful for it. What I'd like to know is if it is possible to go to Anor Londo, get Havel's set and then go back to the Four Kings without picking up the Lordvessel. I really prefer to defeat them before getting the Lordvessel, but I fear I might stumble upon it while searching for Havel's. Any help?
