Is hollowing bad?

[medjed]

What if i go full hollow? Are there amy side effects of being hollow?

Doesn't affect anything gameplay wise. Hollowing is just for Yuria's questline and for luck builds, which aren't really great or popular anymore. Oh, and it also makes you look like dried leather, so there's that. Usually when I'm done with Yuria I'll kill her and cure the hollowing.

The only bad thing is that your char will look like a walking corpse, the good think is that when hollowed you will gain more luck from hollowed infused weapons and more dmg

appearantly hollowing changes the ending?

[don't talk to me]

affects your appearance only

It doesn't change your ending, but it allows you to get an alternate one, specifically the one from Yuria's questline. You have to be hollow to get that ending, but you don't have to get it just because you're hollow.

You are made to look like overcooked bacon.

Also, in case you were wondering, the Hollowslayer Greatsword does not deal extra damage to hollowed players neither in DS2 nor DS3.

No one has mentioned this but being Hollowed will affect any weapon that has a Hollow Gem equipped. Hollow Gems make the weapon become affected by your Luck, and you gain +5 Luck while being Hollowed and having a Hollow weapon in hand. I don't remember if two handing a Hollow weapon will also give you another 5 Luck, but I think having two seperate Hollow things in each hand will.
