Either AFK people are invincible, or I just invaded a hacker. Standing alone, not taking any damage from the Gravelord sword. Bleed, toxin and regular damage did nothing.
Fatal falls did.

Kicked him all the way from the prison on the second floor of the Parish, down where the Channeler was, outside, up the stairs and over the cliff.
I was rewarded 550k souls for my efforts. I take it this isn't a normal amount?

That amount of souls can be pretty normal for a late-game player (I think).

That's a lot to just have lying around while AFK. Or just to have normally. And if he was invincible, and only took damage from fatal falls, then yes, he was a hacker. I expect he used non-legit ways to get those souls.

Sounds exactly like the video Ryanbob posted.

SMOUUUUUUUUUGH!

dafuq?

ALL RIGHT THEN.

With the help of plenty summon signs and maybe a couple soul cheats I made it back to Gwynevere. She gives me the lord vessel, but get the same thing. The message wouldn't go away, I can't do anything, stuck, kneeling in front of her, with this arrogant message keeping me from escaping her dark tendrils o-

So I tab out, decide to spend some time on youtube. 2 hours later I tab back in, message is still there. Sitting there staring at the message for about 5 mins I'm ready to give up, but suddenly it goes away.

So either it's a bug on my end or I did something wrong. Still nothing online I can find about this so I don't know if this happened to anyone else.

EDIT: Seems the way to Oolacile isn't behind the hydra, so I don't know how to get into the DLC as far as I'm concerned.

Bleed damage works against hackers most of the time, but i suggest using AI enemies around the player for your advantage when you try to knock them off somewhere. I never really invaded an actually good player that hacks his account. I'm awaiting the dlc for ps3. I'm not really into getting games i like for my pc.

Oh F.

Dark Souls II announced.

Video on that site was pulled.

♥♥♥♥ yeah, Dark Souls II

Being a Forest Bro, being all bro.
Get summoned to kill a dude.

Off in the distance I see damage, decide to follow it. "21" "21" "62 thousand".
I think "He's fell off a cliff, then." But he hadn't.

I get there to see a black dragonhead phantom fighting the dude. The phantom was taking very low amounts of damage, even from my Dragon Tooth. The actual player had infinite health. I tried the Notched Whip, my only bleed weapon. Low damage. Low damage. 62 thousand. Health bar didn't move.

Me and the phantom worked together to try kick the other guy off a cliff, but he wasn't having any of it. Slashed me, dealing less than a health block. Think he was using just a basic short/longsword. Dragon phantom starts using his shout attack to try blast him off, but it doesn't work. So I whip out my Gough's Greatbow. Knocking him back 10ft each time, unless he dodges on stand. Nearly got him off a couple of times.

Eventually dragon phantom leads him to a small path, across the bridge, and tries to use the body shout to blast him off. It doesn't work. I get close, stick to the wall, and fire my bow. I see the dragon phantom slip off the cliff, then lag catch up and launch the player off with him, arrow in chest.
