re: Dark souls 2 ***No Spoiler***

Where is the hag merchant located after she leaves Cardinal tower? I want to buy some human effigies and the stone so I can open that door to get the stamina ring but she's left the tower and I can't find her in Majula. That's where she's supposed to go to right?

Also, I haven't gotten the mansion key yet. Is there anything in there worth wild to get?

Any tips on the last boss in the forests of giants? Not the last giant, I defeated him already. It's the big knight that gets brought in by the big bird (dragon maybe?). I learned a valuable lessen after my first attempt against him: Choose wisely when you use human effigies because now I'm out and don't want to face him until I hate at least two (remove current hollowing and one more in case he wrecks me) so I can summon help when I attempt him again. Another reason why I need to find the hag merchant.

ETA: Ha! Found her. I feel so
