Dark Souls

Upon running into his first curse mob my brother had this pearl of wisdom to share: "Demon's souls was a hard game. It was tough but it was fair. But it's like they got such a reputation for being hard that by the time Dark Souls came out they decided to take out the 'game' entirely in the interests of cementing that reputation."
In reality, I think Demon's was harder. Dark is harder in different ways, but you are punished much, much more severely for dying in Demon's. By the time you encounter enemies who can curse you you should be able to plow through anything that is between you and the curse cure, so really it is just a time waster that results in you also getting exp along the way.

Also, curse enemies only appear in a few areas, and 3k is almost nothing to spend on such a valuable item. I got three at a time.

Chuck, what system are you on and what's your alignment/covenant? I'm with the Warriors of the sun.
 
I'm on Xbox, between level 23 and 25, Way of White. How do I get Warriors of the Sun?
In the undeadburg on the way to the undead parish, right before the dragon on the bridge. Apparently this alignment prevents some invasions to your game and is for players who wish to engage in "Jolly co-operation!" as the recruiter puts it. And Shooooooo I'm lvl 12. Shoooo. Time to get farming. I'm also on 360 so let's co-op some man.
 
Ok cool, you might have to play some catch up though, lol, I just hit level 32.

After coming out of the Depths, I'll say that the area isn't nearly as bad as people have said. I didn't get cursed once, the enemies that doled out curse were not only weak but also had easy to avoid attacks, and they gave 200 souls per kill so it was worth it to kill them.

All in all, a pretty easy area compared to the hype.
