Dark Souls 2 – Is Ornifex Required to Complete the Game?

dark-souls-2

So I accidentally killed Orniex in the shaded woods. I'm a sorceror so having a look at the things I can buy from her, it doesn't look like I've completely screwed up.

How "game breaking" would my mistake be? Am I still able to finish the game without too much trouble?

Best Answer

Yes, you still can end the game without that npc, she is optional and her only function is to craft spells or weapons for boss souls, so for this playthrough you are locked out for this option but it won't hinder you to finish the game.

The other thing that locks you out is in getting some achievements but that is a different question.
