I noticed someone changed the part about the White Sign. It went from, "multiple sessions required," to, "host and phantom need to survive boss fight."

I just want to post that this isn't true, unless there's a patch I don't know about. Being summoned as a phantom and killing the boss isn't guarenteed to reverse hollowing, at least on the PS3 version.

Once I was hollow and placed a large sign, and someone summoned me as a phantom. I was killed before I got to the boss fight, but I turned human. Later I became hollow and was summoned again as a phantom. This time I survived the boss, but didn't turn human.

This lead me to believe killing a certain amount of enemies and bosses restores a certain amount of health, but I later discovered this may not be true. Once I died and immediately placed a large sign. I killed the boss but didn't turn human. It still took multiple summons. Later I died multiple times in a row and then placed a large sign, and it took less sessions to turn human.

On another site a player claimed being a phantom randomly turns people human, and that may be true. However, small signs work every time, and that may be why I saw mostly small signs last time I played.
