If you wish to access Velka without purchasing the key, you can drop down into the chasm just up from the bridge near cliff underside bonfire onto some steps that reduce the fall damage to survivable levels (best way to survive is to reduce equipment weight to 0% and be embered). Alternatively, you can also travel to the bottom of the cliff on the exit of the sewers (when you enter from the Cliff Underside bonfire side) and enter through a passage down there, requiring you to fight through a few skeletons to get to the altar. Unlock the gate, and take the first right. The locked gate is about halfway through the sewer, between the parties of rats. You will require the grave key, purchasable from the for 1500 souls upon giving the Mortician's Ashes. If you have not yet explored the Settlement, the Undead Settlement guide has directions. The sewers can be accessed by going down the stairs near the Cliff Underside bonfire and taking a right to follow the cliff face. Hollowing can also be reversed by spending souls equal to 100x your current level at the Altar of Velka, found in the sewers below the Undead Settlement. You can reverse hollowing with Purging Stones sold by Yuria of Londor. Removing the Dark Sigils will stop the Yuria of Londor quest. However you will keep your hollowing levels. It is also automatically healed by starting a new NG. As of a recent patch, this also cures your current level of Hollowing. When the Dark Sigil is healed, all Dark Sigils are removed from your inventory, and your Character will no longer gain more Hollowing on death. The cost of healing the Dark Sigil is equal to the number of sigils you currently hold as a level per sigil.(If you have 8 sigils it will cost 8 levels worth of souls). The Dark Sigil may be healed by giving a Fire Keeper Soul to the Fire Keeper, which will allow her to heal your Dark Sigil. If you heal the Dark Sigil before getting five free Soul levels from Yoel of Londor, he will no longer offer to "tease out your inner strength". After Yoel gives you the first Dark Sigil, you may revisit him at 2, 6, 12, and 15 hollowing to gain these levels in exchange for another Dark Sigil. The five first Dark Sigils each unlocks a free soul level. The amount of hollowing gained per death is equal to the number of Dark Sigils you have. Triggers levels of Hollowing upon death which can be tracked from the player status screen below player level. You need all of the Dark Sigils to unlock the Usurpation of Fire ending. Three are given to you if you decide to "marry" Anri of Astora. One is given to you by Yoel of Londor each time you "tease out your inner strength" (up to 5.). This Dark Sigil will never heal, but there is a tale told of a Fire Keeper who returned from the Abyss, and brought great comfort to a bearer of the curse. The darkness of humanity seeps from this bottomless pitch-back hole, the gap filled by the accumulation of the curse. A black gaping hole in the flesh that resembles the brand of an Undead.
