Hi, Dark Souls noob here, first time playing the game. So I got impatient and decided to go as deep into the Darkroot Garden as possible(not to mention I needed to grind for moss clumps because of Blighttown) and I found myself within spitting distance of the hydra.

No really, I was apparently close enough that he could blast me.

Anyway, in between fleeing from the blasts, I noticed this mysterious tower and decided to investigate. Since I started with the master key, I went to unlock the door...and was immediately crushed by Havel.

Yep, I found the door Havel was guarding. I actually said 'Oh hello Havel' the second after I died.

What did I do after that? Well...

The second after that, I went 'that motherfucker has my 10k souls!' and decided to try and get them back.

My initial plan was to try and firebomb Havel but that quickly went away when I fled up the stairs to get away from him. One game of Hide and Smash later, I managed to slip past him to grab my souls and Homeward Bone back to the bonfire I rested at before trying my half-baked plan.
