Permanent Gravelorded
Oh dear am I ♥♥♥♥ed, apprently I am now permanently gravelorded and dont know how to fix it.

It all started when I failed to defeat a enemy host I invaded, that host turned out to be a gravelord servant and I was infected by her and swiftly saw Black Phantoms appearing all over the place. After finding her summmon sigil I invaded her world as challenger and defeated her and gained a Eye of Death. Returning to my own world I noticed that I still had black phantoms walking around, and in the following area of Oolacile township I saw that the infection was still active there too.

I cannot progress due the Black Phnatom enemies killing me in either one or two hits, and they spawn in nicely organized groups. How do I remove this pernament gravelord glitch?

Did a quick google for perma gravelord glitch and here's what I found:

"A glitch can sometimes occur with the timerreset, causing a permanent gravelord infection. If a player has a permanent infection that they want to get rid of, it is recommended that they play online to get infected again. Any "Disasters are gone…" messages are accompanied by the removal of phantoms from a player's world, even if they're created by a different Gravelord Servant. If this doesn't happen randomly within an acceptable time frame, using the above method for having another player infect your world on purpose is recommended."

So basically, try having another player gravelord you (or try to, in the same area). I just hit NG+ so I can't gravelord you in Oolacile though :c

Players will often assume that their game has glitched, resulting in what they believe is a permanent Gravelord infection that manages to last for days or longer. However, there isn't sufficient evidence to support that such a glitch actually occurs. Instead, players who believe they've received a permanent infection are most likely unaware of the mechanics of offline/ disconnected Gravelording, which allows the player to unwittingly prolong the infection.
  • If an infected player loses connection with the Gravelord Servant before they die or quit properly, the Black Phantoms will still appear in their world.
  • While offline, an invisible timer is set to exactly 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes pass, the "Disasters are gone…" message will appear and permanently end the infection.
  • Resting at a bonfire, dying or quiting/reloading the game will reset the timer. This can be used to indefinitely prolong the appearance of the phantoms.
