Whats not being explained anywhere clearly is the genius behind the Dark Souls 2 Human Effigy and the player's life system. With limited Effigies, and a decaying human health bar every death (it recedes), each player effectively has as many "lives" as they do effigies and whatever else they can squeeze out of Dark Souls 2 with their personal skill and the life bars. So make good use of the effigies and each life you are given.

It's a sweet system and I now lament that other games, especially first person shooters, now all look like they have cheap pussy training wheels on them missing something as awesome as this.
