Learn how Human Effigies reverse Hollowing and prevent invasions in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

Human Effigies serve two primary purposes in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Firstly, they are used to reverse Hollowing. Hollowing is a state that imposes HP penalties on you. Using a Human Effigy will remove these penalties. Secondly, Human Effigies can be burned at a bonfire (a type of checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death)) to prevent enemy invasions from other players for a limited amount of time.

Tips
  • Burning an Effigy at a bonfire prevents invasions for a limited duration.
  • Using an Effigy restores your maximum HP by reversing Hollowing.
