How to duplicate Cracked Red Eye Orbs?
Before I dive into my issue, here's a disclaimer:
I harshly condone all forms of hacking. I this question is strictly meant to improve my PVP experience and will not affect the combat situation in any way.
Well, I do not like to seek refuge in hacking, but it has to be done. I own Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, and I must say the PVP experience is great (apart from the backstab fishing). The only problem is that I do not have any Cracked Red Eye Orbs, and it's too late for me to join the Darkwraith Covenant (in this playthrough at least; already placed the Lordvessel...). So, you see, I have NO consistent methods of acquiring items that would allow me to invade (I do not intend on using Red Sign Soapstone).
I am sure that the duplication of items via Cheat Engine is possible, but I have no idea how to do it. I'd be very thankful if someone would write me a comprehensive yet short tutorial (note that even if I wanted to cheat, a wonderful tool called PVP Watchdog would prevent me from connecting to other players if I had, say 99 Titanite Slabs). My two main questions are:
- How to duplicate Red Eye Orbs?
- How to force the game (via Cheat Engine) to make me a Darkwraith +1 AND transmute some item into a Red Eye Orb (which is permanent)?
Even better, if anyone knows of a "legal" way to get the needed items, let me know (I should mention that I am on NG +4 right now, I've killed all bosses except The Four Kings and Gwyn). Thank you for your answer in advance!
There's exising Cheat Engine tables for editing pretty much everything you'd want, including changing your current covenant, changing covenant level, giving items, editing stats, etc. As far as I know, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition has no protection or cheat detection whatsoever. As you mentionned, PvP Watchdog can tell if other players have invalid characters so don't do something impossible in the game (however 99 Slabs is possible so no worry about that). It only checks the current player data so you could edit yourself back to, say, lvl 120 and edit your stats appropriately and you'd be in the clear.
You can find such a table at this link. Not mine, I cannot guarantee it will stay available or safe, but at the moment of writing this it works.

You can use the item replacer script to replace the currently selected item with any item of your choice. For example, replace a wooden arrow with a Red Eye Orb. You could do the same to get a dark hand, and darkwraith armor and sword.
