    Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Sep 22, 2011

    A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.

    At the Firelink shrine that you begin at, head up the stairs on the right side.

    Yeah you shouldn't be in that lower area with the ghosts until later on but you will eventually find a merchant that will sell transient curses...but like ahab said you want to go up the stairs on the right to begin and get to the Undead Berg, that is the 1st area you should try and progress through.

    I just killed the Gargoyles before work this morning, so I'll probably be in the same boat as you shortly.

    After going through the church and beating the gargoyles, you can head down to the sewers and make your way through that area. There is a merchant (female undead merchant) thats before you enter the church that sells the transient curses (4k souls). Like i said above tho, you can make your way through the sewers, then maybe blighttown (to eventually ring 2nd bell) or the forest area. I went through a lot of areas before I made my way down to the Londo Ruins (ghost area).

    Aparently you can also kill the ghosts if you are cursed, but you'll be doing it at half health.

    The Ruins with the ghosts is still not really where you should be going after ringing the first bell. Head down to The Depths and then to Blight Town first.
