Good to know.  I guess I'll go farm 200k+ souls so I can get all of the pyromancies from the 2nd pyromancer teacher and the egg guy and cure my egg status. 

getting gangraped by 6 big Skellies in pure darkness (The Lantern sucks ;P) is.. hard. ^^

Oh man, I've really fucked up, I headed to the great hollows and on my way down I got cursed I didn't realize it had those enemies down there! Now I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it back through the swamps and blightown with only half life! I hope I havnt just finished myself here!

No bells yet. Was looking for those and it seems i found one but killing the bell gargoyles is proving to be difficult. I was about to kill one, until another one showed up. Sadistic developpers, I tell you. I have to figure a way to kill 2 at the same time, with the barebone stuffs i have.

I can try to help, what soul level are you? My Sorceror character is at level 18 and I've been using it to help random people. If we're lucky we can get into a session.

Cast Light is your friend down in the Tomb of Giants xD. The lantern requires good timing between switching it and the shield. 

@StokedUp - Autch man, that's really fucked up. Don't bother going down to Ash Lake in that state, the hydra on the entrance will destroy you then. Go back to Blightown, but instead of getting out through the normal path, go through the water wheel route that leads to the valley of drakes/new londo. That way you can go to Firelink Shrine and skip most of the hard monsters of Blightown (you can run through the giants at the exit to Valley of Drakes instead of fighting them).

@EncodedNybble - There's a really fast farming method, though it involves killing an important NPC on Anor Londo and having the Homeward Miracle available for use. You can net 10K per minute with it (12K if you use Covetous Silver Ring). The other way, much slower, is farming them off the forest hunter NPC's.

The gargoyles 2 on 1 is tough but doable once you manage to keep your eye on the fire breather and keep your distance. I did the battle with just a bandit's knife, so you can do it with your equipment too :)

Lvl 15. I've put my white stone countless of times but I never got summoned. And yeah encoded I just realised it's doable, since i was able to nearly kill 2 of them at once until i got burnt to a crisp.

Ill be taking a break, cool my head and the come back to kick some ass.

Well, if you manage to level up once or twice I might be able to help you. Today I already helped 6 people with the Gargoyles, and was able to summon twice. Also, did you talk to Solaire on the bridge before the Undead Parish? If you do, you can summon his phantom for the battle, which will make things much, much more easy.
