      Just as an aside, if you don't want to spend a Human Effigy to restore your health bar, you can help someone in a co-op battle, when you're done you get a free HE for your trouble.
      Also, for falling down the big hole in Majula, or really any significant drop, the cat NPC in Majula sells a ring that significantly reduces fall damage and makes the drop MUCH easier.

    17:05 that Hollow has a 100% chance of dropping either a pretty dope item or some crap. You can get like repair powder or herbs that give you a crap load of spell casts etc. I guess the devs wanted to make a silly little guy who acts like a crystal lizard.

    By the way, you can dodge The Pursuer’s upward ground slash, grab stab and the flying downwards attacks at the end of his combos by just circling right around him while locked on.
    Also, the reason the hollow at 17:05 runs away is because Huntsman’s Copse is a place where people would hunt hollows for sport, so that hollow learned to run away.
    24:10 Dying counts as resetting the area, resting at a bonfire only respawns enemies, while teleporting or dying fixes any broken objects in the area.
    One tow last things, make sure to go to the Crown of the Sunken King DLC first and grab Flynn’s ring for +50 AR and when you fight Lud & Zallen, make a save outside their arena, for the love of god.
