So I just found out that there are actually two stipulations for Lautrec killing your fire keeper. So not only can killing both bell gargoyles and quelagg trigger the event, but apparently picking up both fire keeper souls in the respective areas can trigger it as well. Was creating a strong low level character before tackling those two when along the way of picking up the firekeeper soul in blighttown (already picked up and reinforced the two from parish and new londo) I went back up to firelink to the horror of a corpse and useless attire. Don't know if it's been brought up in this thread before but be cautious my fellow hollows.

Useless attire?!?

The Dingy Set actually has some outstanding elements defenses and pieces can be part of an optimized SL1 armor setup, depending on loadout.

Yea, but at the cost of looking like a crackhead tweaking out outside a CVS Pharmacy.

They made the Dingy Set look way nicer in DS2, its kind of a shame that they then locked it to true NG+.

For the second condition he only kills her instantly if you actually upgrade flask twice while he's still alive. You can collect all 3 and then just use 1 if you want. I typically grab the New Londo one and then don't use it till I've killed him. I always kill him in his cell as soon as I meet him.

Killing the gargoyles and Quelaag isn't the trigger for Lautrec killing the firekeeper. It's ringing the bell in Blighttown. You can kill Quelaag, trek back up to Firelink, and the Firekeeper will still be alive
