- 2 This item is NOT required to duel Hawkwood. It is simply to help the player locate him.

Trivia
- Hawkwood was once a member of the Undead Legion of Abyss Watchers, who belong to the Watchdogs of Farron covenant. This is why he uses swordgrass to deliver this message to the player.

I just let him keep my stone. He seems really excited about it and tbh I was never gonna use it in combat.

This poor dude tends to be my punching bag, it's hilarious when I "test" something and he aggros then chases me all over Firelink (because I don't want to kill him) and then he has no idea what to do when I push him on one of the thrones, he's just stuck. xD

He's pretty easy to beat at low SL by toxicing him and just pelting him with undead hunter charms to prevent his estus.

Andre isn't giving me any dialogue. I got the dragon stones, switched to the watchedogs of farron covenant, quit and reloaded the game, and exited and returned to the shrine.

I have the un-patched original ps4 version of this game and in ng+ hawkwoods duel invitation began early prior to even reaching prior to reaching arch-dragon peak. I checked with Andre after defeating Wolnir and the quest was initiated.It's likely because of my original playthroughs torso stone still being in my inventory during ng+. I'm not sure if this will cause him to become un-summonable later on in the game, although as far as I know he's only summonable in archdragon peak.

Is this quest line bugged? I had the twinkling torso stone but nothing ever happened with blacksmith Andre.

If he does kill you and takes the torso stone, But return and kill him you'll get the torso and head after his defeat.
