Dark Souls

[Pete for President]

As I got back to the Firelink Shrine the fire keeper had died, so I can't light that bonfire anymore. I received an item to invade the world of the fire keeper's murderer, but was unable to use it. Any tips?

I'll avoid a direct spoiler for now, so I'll just say that you'll know when to use it when the time comes.

Aha! We'll see : )

I made kind of a mistake. I made it through SPOILERSen's Fortress as a hollow, and fought the boss as someone else's summon. After that I returned to the bonfire, reversed the hollowing and summoned some people of my own. As we were fighting the Iron Golem he grabbed me, killing me as his last few Health Points were chopped off by my companions. I was dead, but I did get the 'Victory' notification. After spawning at the bonfire I returned to the boss area. Instead of picking up my well-earned 30.000 souls I picked up the golden ring thingie first, thinking it was an item pick-up. But no, there I was, dangling from those weird creatures arms, only to be carried away while my green 30.000 souls faded in the background. Nooooooo!

Anyway, I'll get over it and this game is still awesome.
