This item can also be used to bring back bosses as well. One of the new introductions to Dark Souls 2 is the idea of enemy respawn limits, this means that enemies will only respawn a certain number of times before disappearing permanently (unless you use the rare Bonfire Ascetic to reset their respawn limits). Right next to the entrance of the bonfire clearing is a Life Gem to grab as well. This will leave you free to reach the bonfire hidden in a small clearing to the right across the river. Try and deal with only the first two to begin with. In fact there are seven total along the riverbank, so don't rush in and trigger them all. As you emerge from the tunnel, you will probably spot at least one hollow soldier in front of you.
