seriously patches really helps you out in this cave. Traveling in this place in first playthrough is sucks

If you are planning on completing her questline entirely, take her 12 humanities with the dark hand too. It won't aggro her so you will just get more humanity to kindle with (or can unlock the shortcut to save Solaire easier)

She's not appearing in the duke's archives for me, but I've visited her after rescuing from the catacombs?

If I already have some of the miracles from whats his face, do I also need to buy them from her to get her to move?

After you protect her in the Tomb of Giants, return to Petrus and kill the fat ****. Mission accomplished. Now Rhea will live forever at you side, shining upon your path with her sacred light. You can viist her anytime in the Undead Parish church.

...so I started NG+, became Way of the White,
killed that serpent Patches and went straight to the Tomb of Giants.
Got the Rite of Kindling and moved on, arrived at the place where
they were supposedly deceived by Patches, currently dead.

I picked the skull lantern. But there is no one there.
No Rhea, no Vince, no Nico.

Timeline wise, they technically haven't gone on their mission yet,
since I accomplished for them, same clan and all?
What the ****?

Her and lucatiel story left me in tears...

She has got Wrath of the Gods and still losing a poser

What happens if I killed pinwheel before I killed Capra demon? Is she down in the catacombs automatically?
