Falling damage

Is falling damage always avoidable?

If you're talking about, wether or not the game has areas, where you have to take fall damage, in order to progress, then only the entrance into Nito's boss arena comes to mind.

If you're talking about ways, to avoid fall damage in general, only with Fall Control[darksouls.wikidot.com]. Though, like in the other games, at a certain height-threshold, you will always die, no matter what.

The fall into the (optional) Stray Demon arena is another, but if you have Fall Control active you can prevent it.

Fall damage is % based up to a certain distance, then it's auto-die past that. The Fall Control spell will prevent non-lethal fall damage. One merchant sells Prism Stones that you can throw off a ledge to check heights. If you hear a ping, the fall distance is lethal.

You should be able to avoid damage, by rolling into the notch in the wall or, if you like livin' on the edge, the railing.
