HOW TO MAKE A CURSE WEAPON DARK SOULS 1 SKIN
The Hollow Skin helmet found in the Iron Crown DLC gives full immunity to curse.If the player wears one of the four available crowns ( King's Crown, Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King, Crown of the Ivory King) after recieving Vendrick's Blessing, all curse buildup is prevented.Even though Curse will turn you hollow, any summoned phantoms will stay in your world, rather than be kicked.Note that as a summoned phantom, sources of curse buildup such as Cursed Vessels will constantly damage you rather than hollowing you.Lion Clan Warriors are the most infamous enemy that causes Curse, and the Cursed Vessel trap causes significant Curse buildup. Many enemies and traps cause Curse buildup.The effects of curse can be reversed by using a Human Effigy.The Ring of Resistance and Cursebite Ring can slow its buildup significantly. Curse buildup can be cancelled through spells and items, such as Divine Blessings.Once its buildup is complete, it takes effect immediately and the buildup gauge is reset. It bypasses the Ring of Life Protection, but not the Ring of Binding. The effects of being cursed stop once one's maximum health is reduced to half (like being fully hollow). Being cursed lowers one's health equal to the amount of one death, as well as turning them hollow.Enemies that can cause Petrification include Basilisks and Stone Rats.See the Fragrant Branch of Yore page for a list of things that can be unpetrified.Rosabeth of Melfia is blocking the entrance to the woods, and once cured, will move to Majula as a pyromancy trainer. A Fragrant Branch of Yore can be used to cure petrified NPCs, which is required to access the Shaded Woods.Some NPCs are petrified initially, but can be cured later.If the player is killed via petrification, the resulting Hollowing is far worse than if the player had simply died through damage or falling, taking around 30% of the players' health upon death rather than 10%. Petrification causes one to turn to stone, instantly killing them.


Use of a Bleed Stonecan make a weapon permanently cause a bleed effect to enemies. Red Leech Troches can be used to temporarily increase Bleed resistance. It can be applied to one's weapon with Bleeding Serum.It is advised to avoid combat during this state as enemies are able to exploit your lowered stamina and speed. Being bled will also cause slower movement speed, agility and roll recovery.Bleed causes one's maximum stamina to be severely reduced to around 75% for 5-10 seconds.
