Undead Rapport?

So... I never heard of anybody using Undead Rapport, but I am pretty curious about it.
Is it of some help? How does it work exactly?

In which areas is more helpful? How much does it last and.. can you use it as a phantom?
No use as an invader, as enemies are your natural friends already, but as a summon?

all I know about it is that you touch the head of an undead with your finger and then that undead will hep you fight your enemies for a certain amount of time. If I remember correctly, it isn't even a minute, maybe 30-40 seconds?

Check out this video at about 7:22. I don't know what the actual range on it is. The wiki has a list of creatures affected by it; as I recall it doesn't even affect the ones you'd find useful like the skeletons in TOG. Great idea, bad implementation/design.

Oh, cool vid, thanks!

I doesn't have any real use, it's just a fun spell. For instance, you could host in Undead Burg and use the aid of the hollows against the invaders.

When I rapported the crossbow hollow closest to the merchant, it killed every other hollow in the area with one shot for each. How awesome is that?

Whoah, maybe it can have some use then, as a host

umm... the undead merchant is supposed to be rapportable but as a phantom or invader hes shows up as a ghost, could a host rapport the merchant and have him be a invulnerable ally against an invader?

Undead rapport + Channelers trident + Burg merchant

Mwah ha ha ha.

Undead rapport + alurring skulls + dukes archives + channelers trident = my own personal army of crystal soldiers. Go forth, minions! Bwahaha!

I might have to go and stab Gwyn's balls a few times so that I can be invaded again in the Burg. Then I could try some of these things.

Also, a few things I've noticed so far:
You can buff rapported enemies with the trident. The buff vanishes when they turn against you.
The range of the crossbow hollow is rather long. He sniped even the firebomb throwers up on the ledges.

Uparkam, I am on my 120 char right now gonna go test this out. If you want come drop your Red sign and we can test it out on playstation.

Can't test anything right now, sorry. I might play again on weekend. And it's already midnight here. I'm a bit tired.

Some other time, maybe? My PSN is Uparkaam.

Lol, Oh, you made it sound like you were playing. Yeah I'll tell you what I find out.

Dang, I just tried it. Turns out ghosts can't hit invaders and invaders cant hit ghosts.

There goes that plan.

a question, can invaders kill rappoted enemies? if not.... my dad's ng+ lvl 17 file could have some fun in the burg soon...

In short, yes. Easily.

If you undead rapport the Undead Merchant in the Burg he becomes hostile towards enemies invaders, but he becomes targetable by them too. So if you do it, the invader may kill him.

Hm, I tested it just awhile ago. The invader put his shield down and everything, he didn't take any damage. I pm'd him after and asked what was up, he said the merchant is a ghost, It wants to hit me but it can't.

From what I saw the merchant does not get put at risk, I did not aggro my merchant though, I just slapped him so he stood up.

(just kidding)

if Yukon tested this and it didn't work, could it have been upgraded with the newest patch so that video is before that patch upgrade so they took away the ability for the merchant to hurt invaders?

The video is from 9 February 2012. No new patch since November of 2011.

what kind of invader did you have yukon? a twinked out giant wearing dude? if so the merchant may have done damage but it was so small the guy didn't notice...

another thing could be that the video got recorded waaaay before it got uploaded as well? You never know right?
