S.O.S. . the easy way to Save our Souls?

There would be a new item that you get very early or it starts in your inventory. Crystallized Humanity. We all know crystal is one of the strongest elements in Dark Souls, so it fits here.

Crystallized Humanity

This item was forged in an experiment by Seath the Scaleless in an attempt to lure undead to him for experiments. The humanity squirms in the crystal but cannot escape. For this reason the humanity has no lasting impact on the user. It only allows the user to regain the appearance of being human once again, it does nothing to stop the hallowing process.


So there is this item Crystallized Humanity that can be used to turn you human whenever you want for co-op. Making the game much, much easier for new players but making it so vets can go solo and keep the game hard if they want.

But there would still be hard humanity in the game. It would only cure status aliments when used but soft humanity is more useful. In addition to kindling bonfires it can also be used to purchase some rare items and when you have 10 soft humanity you can sacrifice it to the bonfire to get a 40% bonus in souls gained until you die or rest again. Oh and humanity keeps giving you item find+ and resistance+.

So keeps the humanity concept, expands soft humanity and makes the game more accessible.

Demon's had a much better system that encouraged both co-op and invasions while not being that difficult to figure out. it had a nice balance of punishment and reward, being human or hollow actually meant something. i think they had it right the first time and i would like this system to return…well everything but world tendency anyway.

Unfortunately we can't go back in time and slap whomever thought that upscaling the project was a good idea. That would be a better solution.

And I hope there is not an 'infinite life' item-that just generalizes the game and takes away from it's difficulty. As much of a problem as it can be at times, I hope it stays that way. That being said, I agree that it can work better than it currently does. Perhaps just increasing it's availability a little in the beginning?
