Talk:Pharros' Lockstone/@comment-68.3.53.25-20140907203328

How many  useful uses does the lockstone have? Because there's a couple of places that I know of that you can place it into the wall and a hidden passage will grow bright blue which you have to hit at. One of them is in the Forest of Fallen Giants in the fortress area, past the 5 spear cannons and in the level below and there would be to chests one with a titanite slab and one with possibly the life ring. Another passage which is in the Lost Bastille leads to Belfry Luna but you'll have to defeat the Ruin Sentinels to have access to it. And there's one more that I know of which is in the Grave of Saints, there are 2 bridges but they lead to the same area and you could just use 1 Pharros' Lockstone to get to that area so you could get the extra souls from the 3 rats in there which is 70 souls for each one you kill ( 77 souls if you have the Covetous Silver Serpant Ring which increases the amount of souls by 10%) and there's some other supplies up the stairs. But please let me know if anyone else knows of any other useful places to use the Pharroh's Lockstone. Besides do the trespassers in the Grave of Saints and the Doors of Pharros actually respawn because it mentioned that for every victory you'll get a Pharros' Lockstone. I just wanted to know if they would infinitely respawn so I could get an infinite amount of Pharros' Lockstones, but I would only need so many to gain access to all of the useful places in the game. And does joining the Rat King Covenant make the game harder like it does with joining the Blue Sentinels covenant? And I just wanted to know if choosing certain covenants can make the game easier, or if all of the covenants have some kind of weakness that pulls the player back.
