Arvas134,

I think you may be incorrect about her despawning elsewhere when you enter her areas. On one of my playthroughs, after clearing the Forest, I jumped to, or was flown to, the Bastille to grab the free Large Titanite Shards there and ran right by Lucatiel, to get the shard above her, without talking to her. I then killed the Dragonrider and headed for No-Man's Wharf for the pyromancy. Lucatiel was in her usual spot at the beginning of the area and greeted me with the first meeting dialogue, though we both agree on that.
