125 and I'm at the second one. I've been invaded 4 times.
Cursed isn't the same as the last game. It's just a small hp max drop similar to dying.
Edit: yes I have that ring equipped I just want some chunks T_T

Did you equip the ring ?
That's How I got cursed by him the first time. Are you fighting him near the bondfire shortcut or the boss area? Otherwise I don't know.
Restart the game. Most likely one summoning went wrong and it's greyed out since then.
Did you join the Champions? You can't summon or be summoned in that covenant.
You might be in that champions covenant. It could also be a glitch so if you're not in that covenant reload the game.
beaten.

There anything to do in
besides troll people with the rat ring?
Doors of Pharos
The boss is dead, and there wasn't really any noteworthy loot in that place. Seems to be a dead end.

i got right down into the Gutter kinda earlier I think. I can see shit in there. I was going to bring a torch but I rolled through some water on the way and it went out.
I'm guessing by the rickety wooden platforms on the way and the mosquito's at the entrance that I'm about to enter Blightown 2.0/Valley of Defilement 3.0
Edit: Getting down there was pretty easy too. Nothing but some precarious falls and rats in the way.

there is none. You have to find how to minimize damage yourself.
SL 140, 50 hours in, at the castle of eternal rain.
I'm having a very hard time right now as a sorcerer, there's just so many enemies early on in the
I'm at the second bonfire there and was killing things until i ran out of soul bolts and died before i could find the third bonfire, which seemed really far away. I also can't use any weapon but my dagger outside of the staff...
any tips? I'm stuck as a hollow with half health, i haven't seen any bosses so far to try to help someone as a hollow like Dark Souls offered. What is the first boss i'm supposed to be able to tackle at lvl 15? And does using the Soul Vessel let me respec all my levels or just from sorcerer onwards, i want to keep all my junk but be a warrior-ish skill set.
XP eep.

This game. Started off with a 7 hour session, have to go sleep now. Framerate was quite jarring at first (PS3), but got used to it as expected, doesn't bother me at all anymore. Started as Knight, using sword + shield, only seriously pumped points into utility stats so far. Lvl 51 or something like that. So good. Progress:
FotG, Lost Bastille, ran to No Man's Dwarf, cleared it but was dry so didn't take a shot at the boss. First thing tomorrow. Haven't died after getting ballistaed at Pursuer.

There really is something to playing these games before every surprise has been spoiled in faqs and walkthroughs. I loved being schooled in the tutorial area

By the way, how low can your health go by being hollowed out?

Yeah, your SL might be too high for that area. I was SL60 and was invading like crazy.
I'm also having trouble with getting summoned at the Lost sinner. Had a error earlier when trying to sign in, but signed in okay after I tried again.

Post giant souls spoilers:
This castle is fucking horrible :/ Ugly, no lighting anywhere, and traps/enemy placement purely designed to be a nuisance.

Thanks. That is not so bad I guess.

That crap does a lot of damage. You got all those items then? What did you use the fire ring, flash sweat etc?
Naw I mean what is getting cursed mean.

Anyone else having trouble pulling off Bash (Forward + R1) and Jump Attack's (Forward + R2) consistently? It seems like the controls for this are much less forgiving than DeS and DS1 and I have a hard time pulling them off for some reason so I'm not using them as much as I would like.

You know how when you die and your HP decreases? Well when you are cursed your HP will go down, and you will hollow even if you were human.
Do you know how Classes work in the Dark Souls series?
The starting class doesn't really matter. It's only what you start with.Everyone can skill into everything.
Cleric uses miracles and needs to put points into faith. Miracles are stuff like heal and so on.
Sorcerer uses Spells and needs to put points intelligence. He's the the typical arcane mage. Shooting missiles and stuff.
I've been trying to figure things out on my own, but I've been aimless for the past couple sessions and I'm sort of tired of running around. Can someone point me in the right direction? (mid-late game spoilers I'm guessing)
Unrelated additional question about NPCs:
I just killed the Lost Sinner. After that I got an item to un-petrify, so I used it to get into the forest. Every path there seems like a dead end. One way says 'seek out mightier souls', one says 'produce the symbol of the king', and the other (the shaded ruins) just doesn't seem to lead anywhere. I've rexplored the other areas, and haven't found anything useful. I beat a few seemingly optional bosses too (pursuer, dragonslayer, gargoyles), but none seemed to open a new path.
Unrelated additional question about NPCs:
Do NPCs you find in the world ever appear in Majula? I've talk to a few (the last of which (the pyromancer lady who asks for clothes) even told me she was going to Majula). When I go back, they aren't where I found them. But I can't find them in Majula either.
Cool, something else to not look forward to.

lol, good luck. Hint: try to leave a summon sign of your own and see what happens.
exactly. unequipped, just did a suicide run
Thank you! I actually thought about doing that first one, but
I didn't think it would be enough to survive, and didn't really think it would lead anywhere
buying the other ring from her and talking to that scorpion guy in the ruins
Gotcha
I plan on going with Sorcerer, so will tons of INT and FAITH suffice? Will I need to invest in Endurance and Adaptability?
