Hidden path messages

[pokerhabs]

Most of the times, litteraly 99% of the times, there are no hidden paths.

Whoever does this, stop. I know it's only one guy, carving all these hidden paths messages. Just stick to the classic ''But, Hole''.

Damn, how many hits can a sword takes on concrete walls ?

The problem, unfortunately, is the recent realization that walls or even rocks can have up to 9999 HP and suddenly reveal secret passages, shortcuts, enemies and chests. I know that some of the described messages actually correspond to the truth, at least in higher level areas. I fear that there are too many of these walls, perhaps even in the starter area.

That discovery was both amazing and haunting... How many multi hit walls and floors are out there totally hidden.. **what** is hidden?

Its a guaranteed free heal, why wouldn't you leave this message everywhere.

that's just an isolated redundant clearly bugged wall, don't worry about it. If there were other illusory walls like that they would have been datamined

sadly i don't think there are more, and if so nothing holding a super secret item. I had everything by the end of a playthrough and double checked the data mined item lists. there's a few items, but doubt the player is supposed to have access to them, like the lava whip, or giant hood.

I still believe that one door just had a wrong HP value assigned to it, which defaulted its HP to the maximum possible for objects.

Until someone finds a second sturdy door ingame, I'll stick to that. Mind you, tens of thousands of people swarmed all over the world and hacked away on walls after that discovery became public, and we got nothing else until now.

Seems rather improbable. I'd love some more secrets, but I don't expect them to come from finding any more 9999hp doors.

Are you new here in Souls Community? Just take it easy, man. It's a good old joke and nothing else.

It's impossible for it to be a single character.
Each character can only have up to 10 messages in the world at a time.

Dont hit the wall, roll. It'll save you time if you aren't sure

Lol wut ? So, some walls have to be hit multiple times to reveal a secret ? Good to know ! Iirc, none other From's games had HP walls, right ?

New to the community yeah, I am not much of a forum roamer, but not new to Souls. I got quite alot of hours into DS2 and DS3, kinda skipped DS1 and it's collecting dust in my library. I know that most messages are deceptive like ''hidden paths'' and ''jumping required'', not to mention the old ''Finger, But Hole'' meme.

The 9999hp walls also lead to literally nothing, they're just walls that were supposed to open on certain triggers but for whatever reason don't.
