Witch Beatrice is indeed a great help in that bossfight!

Been rockin' Demon's Souls: Spoiler Defeated the Armored Spider (creepy atmosphere leading up to it, but the fight was easy) and the Flame Lurker for which I summoned for the first time. Got really lost on the way down there, so I didn't want to take any risks entering the fog on my own. Met Patches, pretty cool he's the same in Dark Souls. Found a Great Axe, dropped the gauntlets and helmet I was wearing to be able to bring it with me, so I was pretty badass as I say so myself. Back in the Nexus I upgraded it to +5 to replace the Halberd +4. Item burden is bothersome.

Also, Demon's Souls logic: "cannot take this item, it would overburden you". Can you tell me what the item is at least, you troll?
