Well fuck

Kinda looks like he took a rocket to the head and this is what's left

Just beat the Depths, that much apprehended chapter of Dark Souls where once I felt forced to quit. What happened in the very next second, barely a minute into the next locale? I screwed up for the first time in this run. Double-died, permanently losing the huge soul reward from beating the Depths boss. Had to shut off the game for the night, but this is doubtful the end. Finally moving on to new territory!
