They're kind of rare actually.

I misunderstood where you were when I posted. Keep going from where you are now, it's coming very soon. It is not in the
Copse or past Purgatory
Theres a ton more past it after facing the boss. Not the boss in the chapel, the other boss.

Well that sucks!
What are you supposed to do if you are running low on health and you don;t have any effigies left?

If you're ever out of human effigies and desperately need humanity, you can get it back by using the small soapstone and spending five minutes in co op.
Why do you need summons? The boss is really simple.
Just hide in doorways, keep skeletons to manageable numbers until you can kill the necros. Are you having trouble with phase 2? The attacks are heavily telegraphed and don't do that much damage.

No one sells an infinite amount, though they are farmable to a degree from certain enemies.
More importantly though, there's a way to reduce the penalty of hollowing, if you find a certain item, similar to the Cling Ring from Demon's Souls. Keep your eyes peeled.

How do you do that exactly?
This game doesn't even explain how the co-op works!
Sheeeesh! They really gotta friggin create a user tutorial for people who aren't as acquainted with this series' conventions.
It's not that tough when you understand the fight.
Go in with a shield, Just run through and kill the sorcerers. Hide in the side holes when the chariot comes running.
After the sorcerers are dead, the skeletons won't respawn. The chariot will kill most of the skeletons anyway so you can just back up in a hole with your shield up until he runs in a circle and kills them all.
Then after closing the gate it's just a regular, not too difficult boss fight.

Did you pick up the Ring of Binding
(It's in a chest in front of the Cathedral, just next to Heides.)

OK! Well that is good to know. Thanks for the tip.
What do you have to do in co-op to regain humanity?

If you use the small soapstone you only need to beat a few enemies to restore your humanity, it's much easier.
Kill a few enemies, that's it.

Was rocking the entire

Who says whining never works? I just destroyed Chariot the first try after whining.
I'm going to whine more like a child in the future.
My issue was thinking my Estoc +3 was a good choice against Chariot for its speed. My Club +5 was doing 5x as much damage making my shots count.

I think I was in that area.
I know I got Heides sword. I don't think I picked up the ring though.
Is the Cathedral in the Heides Tower area?

Is it beneficial(worth it) to farm the enemies in the forest at the beginning?
If I remember correctly, it was originally a bug that they decided to make part of the game. Sort of an excuse?
Didn't know that; thanks!
Thank you guys!
I was starting to lose my shit, I looked everywhere but there god damnit! At least I got a few things that I missed when going over these areas again
Cheers!
There is a spot where you encounter 3 knights - two guys with shield + sword at teh very left and right, and one dude with a huge ass great sword in the middle. To get to the first boss of the are, you have to go right and down the stairs and defeat another knight with great sword; to get to the cathedral though you have to go left and kill two other knights, go up the stairs, kill another knight to make the switch appear with which you lower the bridge
In front of the cathedral is what you are looking for
Wanna help me when I get there?
It'll probably be a few days. I think that boss is pretty far from where I'm at.

Thanks to Soul Memory that won't be possible. He will have way more Souls accrued and will be out of your matchmaking bracket, regardless of his Soul Level.
That being said, there are always a ton of signs for Smelter Demon, so you are bound to get some help.

Help is relative. There are a lot of scrubs there. Chime in again when you get there, I am moving slow on my playthrough and may get there the same time as you.
Eh, some are for shortcuts, others for treasure. You can use them without much thought and not be punished too much but their benefits are sometimes extraordinary.

You will eventually get plenty of stones, but early game there are more doors than stones so it's a bit of luck and remembering to go back on the ones you passed.

Soul Level 158. About to fight the last boss.
Never seen a gold sign anymore, but lots and lots of Dragon covenant signs everywhere. I feel alone in this world
That is a pretty high level for endgame. Most folks have moved on to ng+ so it is not too surprising summons are few, not to mention the bulk of the player base is no where near the end.

Thanks Durante.
With this VSSAO file, I lose about 5-10 fps in performance vs your last version. I had the same issue with Asmodean's (sp) .fx file that fixed the glitches.
Back to tweaking for me, I guess!
I just made it to the first bonfire in
Drangleic Castle
Someone in this thread created it. I'm using it.
Buy the cat ring.
I had two buddies for the last fight which appeared after I said I was alone.
I... I barely did anything, those Sunbro's were javelin the boss from afar. I only laded like 4 hits.
Loved the game and did most achievements other than collect all Miracles and Hexes.

That looks good assuming you haven't gained a ton of Soul memory that was spent or lost outside of leveling. Should be fine assuming enough folks have made it there.
How do you check your Soul Memory? Is it the amount of souls you've gathered in total?
I think that number is around 1 million now :lol.
Used my one soul vessel to give my player two attunement slots for pyromancy.
Find the trainer.
Trainer dies.
Go to find the gravestone to resurrect said trainer, it's not there.
Look up on google and apparently the game has a common glitch where said NPC's gravestone just won't appear.
Fuck this woooooooooooorrrrlld. >:\

LOL, happened exactly the same on my first playthrough. Unfortunately, many Sunbros are not in it to make sure you have a good experience.
I've been using AutoHideMouseCursor that someone linked many pages ago in this thread.
Buy the Cat ring from the cat merchant in Majula and put it on, profit.
So far, it's been awesome. Going in completely blind has helped me appreciate the little things so much more. I will say that it feels like a return to form for me, rather than a totally new experience though. I know how to play now, and it's improved my play a ton.
I also enjoy the fact that the community is so active right now. Can always help or be helped when needed.

1 million is right on schedule.
