Bad Strategy

I have gravelorded before, and have not noticed my sin ever increasing. Using a cracked orb or killing fellow NPCs would allow some sinning being more stationary. However others say they got sinned for gravelording, but I usually don't... so I kill NPCs

I probably did gravelord you, or at least my companion. I camp there for that reason. if you can beat them, you can battle me.

Very devious of you. If it was you or your friend last night, thanks for the excitement.

Ya... the skeletal dogs were hard in the first place, and the black phantom versions doesn't change much, other than the health they hold; their damage is still devasting.

Hopefully you will try other areas being gravelorded... their are better places other than the tomb of giants

Exploring the sewers without any curse protection on my first playthrough. I got cursed about 5 times and lost 40,000 souls. It was so bad I deleted my character because I was sick of farming souls to buy purging stones.

Upgrading my main weapon to raw because i had no idea what i was doing.

Ended up having to downgrade it, to make lightening uschi, about an hour or two later. Colossal waste of resources.
