Meaning, if a player falls off a cliff then clips another ledge before falling into a kill plane, the bloodstain will be near the location of where they originally fell from. It is important to note that the bloodstain is usually left in a place a few moments back in time.

When a player dies, they lose all acquired souls and revert into Hollow/ Unkindled form.Ī victim of death will leave a bloodstain when they die. Bloodstains from other worlds can be interacted with to see how a player died. The player's own bloodstain is a means of regaining lost souls and humanity, and it can also be interacted with by players from other worlds. When a player reaches zero Health, they die, receiving a message on the screen saying "YOU DIED" and being taken to the last bonfire they rested at. Death is very common and occurs very often throughout the series. Death is an aspect of gameplay and a major part of Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Dark Souls III.
