Dark Souls: 10 Hidden Secrets You Won't Believe You Missed

6. Eggscellent!

Egghead Dark Souls You know the really, really weird dudes who appear just before the Demon Ruins and are covered in hideous eggs? You can get one too! Just let them grab you and your character will become infected with a lovely eggy virus. Your Chosen Undead will then routinely scratch his/her head for a while until - finally - the egg virus takes over and your characters' head turns into an eggy mass! It seems highly inconvenient and totally overrides your spiffy helmet choice, but the weird egg thing actually has some perks. The most inconvenient thing about being an Egg Head in Dark Souls is that the egg will steal half of all souls you gain, absorbing them straight away. What you might not know however is that this is actually for a purpose - if it absorbs around 100,000 souls, the egg will mature into a super-egg! Once this happens your character's kick move will be replaced by a super awesome egg-powered-worm-attack-thing. Weird, but certainly cool.
