Notes from author
Rules for the Hollow playthrough:
-No using humanity, no kindling.
-You cannot make friends with anyone except Vamos. NPCs are now enemies, attack everyone you meet.
-No leveling up. 30 is the cap for a lowly Hollow Warrior.
-You may not choose the Master Key, Twin Humanities, or Goddess' Blessing as a starting gift.
-You may only use the warp function to warp to the Firelink Shrine. Nowhere else.
For ultra-butt-frustration-sadomasochism-strawberry-deluxe mode;
-You must kill Vamos as well.
-If you kill Gravelord Nito, ironman is engaged; the next death is final, delete the save and start over.
-You are only allowed to use heavy/slow attacks; no touching R1.
-You must wear the Calamity Ring at all times. No other rings may be worn except for the Covenant of Artorias and Ring of the Evil Eye.
-As a hollow, you know no fear. If you see anything that moves, you must kill it, or attempt to. No running away. No exceptions.
-You may not use the warp function of bonfires.
