In need of a soul vessel and out of options.
Well, It's a little embarrassing to admit but I used the only soul vessels I had in an attempt to try a build that really didn't work out, and now I've kinda screwed myself by the way I allocated my levels. I would be fine with either souls or a soul vessel as long as I can help fix my character's stats to not be useless. I don't have much I'm afraid as I'm still quite new to ds2 hence my crappy attempt at making a build, but I willing to give what I can. Thank you. My SM is around 256,000.

Soul Vessels are theoretically unlimited.

At Lost Bastille, if you go through the path, that uses the Antiquated Key in order to skip the Ruin Sentinels (the boarded off wall at the yard near McDuff's workshop). You'll encounter an entirely dark room with a Shadow (humanoid enemy with claws and a beak-like mask) on the wall and a Pharros Contraption. Using a Pharros Lockstone here reveals an illusory wall with a wooden chest behind it, that contains a Soul Vessel.

The good part, if you've already picked it up: Bonfire Ascetics also reset wooden chests. Using one on the Holding Cells bonfire (when you enter from No Man's Wharf) at Lost Bastille resets those.

depending on where you are, you should be able to find new soul vessels. otherwise you should be able to use a bonfire ascetic in majula and get a new one from the basement of the mansion. sadly soul vessels cannot be dropped / traded. i recommend looking up the wiki as to where to find the soul vessels.

Metal chests do not reset when using Bonfire Ascetics.

First of all thank you for responding, but the issue isn't not knowing how to get a soul vessel but rather being in a place and position where I can't farm for any nor have access to any new ones. And also because of my stupidity in terms of making a good build I have made the game very hard for my self meaning I can't progress the game to get a soul vessel.

You neither have access to any Pharros Lockstone (if the Lost Bastille vessel has not yet been picked up) or Bonfire Ascetic? There's one at Sinner's Rise.

In any case, messing up a build to the point of not being able to progress (or a softlock even due to bad stats) is simply not possible. Worst case, you farm yourself out of a bad spot.
Not to mention that weapon level ugprades are far more meaningful, than character levels are. Up to Drangleic Castle anyways. HP and ADP is also important (you can mitigate low HP somewhat with infinite Lifegems sold by Melentia), but weapon level will be the biggest help up to that point.

Soul Vessel and Bonfire Ascetic cannot be given to other players.
