thats kinda lame :U considering in the past games it killed you and had a detrimental effect as well...

It honestly looks like you just die instantly when curse stacks up. I've died to curse a couple times now and I haven't noticed any detrimental effects yet

It DOES have an other effect: you can't recover lost souls. If you die to curse all your souls are lost permanently. Didn't you try to recover?

Other than that there is nothing.

Interesting, I had very few souls both times I died to curse so I didn't go looking for them. Thank you

Ugh I read this before realising I lost 60k souls :(

[Extraterralien]

uh, i died to curse and recovered my souls just fine

Likewise @ Extraterralien - Died to a curse just now and wanted to know what the detrimental effects were. I was able to recover my souls. The only thing I did notice was a voice when I revived at a bonfire. I've travelled to it and revived there tons of times and the voice never happened before. It said something like "Hello, Hello? hello? is anyone there?". That was the cleansing chapel at the cathedral.

This post is amazing to me. Being all focused on side-quests, untold lore and stuff, I kind of forgot how such funny things can happen in these games.

I also confirm that curses have nothing to do with soul retrieval. Happened to me twice (once in farron keep and once in demon ruins) and got my souls back both times.

Curse does the followings:
#1: Instant death when the curse meter is maxed
#2: You will be able to recover souls uppon death
#3: DOESNT AFFECT STATS IN ANY WAY (edited:nor having any detrimental effects upon death.)

That mob that applies curse counters on hit is just mean, luckily he can be staggered and killed easily
