i use the carthus greatsword and half the time it can't hit these guys because they're too low on the ground, any tips on weapons that will actually hit them?

“Other Murkman wild the same staff, but will instead shoot Deep Soul projectiles toward the player.”
Wield* is in fairly sure the intended word

The murkman great soul dreg transformation can be repelled with twisted wall of light. Like most pve spells, the hitbox does linger requiring two casts to fend off it successfully.
You wont need a lingering dragoncrest ring.

They drag half your body into the ground and then... they begin to hump you. Guess they didn't have pleasure for a long time.

Anyone else gets Heart of Darkness (an old platformer game...) vibes from these little guys? :)

The Great Soul Dreg kamikaze attack will fck you up. Hard to dodge too, monster hit box. They're funny little dudes tho, I like em.

A close look with the binoculars shows they have crystals on them, so i assume they re cursed. Also, the crawling ones does dark damage with their hand scythe.

Are these guys worth farming for Human Dregs or should I stick to Devout?

Hollowslayer doesn't do extra, neither does wolf knight/beyblade swords. Strike weapons seem to hurt them a lot

The Hollowslayer GS not dealing bonus damage to them. The Wolf Knight's GS (551 attack) deal 535 damage and The Hollowslayer GS(539 attack) deal 521 damage. There are no 20% bonus damage for both of these GS.

Odd how these guys seem more like monstrosities of the Abyss, yet they're considered Hollows

It seems murkmen's deep soul deals magic damage instead of dark. Is this a bug?

Every single area with infinite spawns has a summoner with a staff. They can be discerned by the glow at the tip of their staff, as opposed to normal staff-wielder that has no glow.
In the first area, the summoner is down the stairs, next to the ledge that crumbles.
In the building filled with murkmen, the summoner for most of the building is on the second floor (behind the illusory wall), in the room with an ember, just before the room with Great Soul Dregs. There is also a separate summoner for the room with Great Soul Dregs, standing directly next to Great Soul Dregs.
In the area just before the higher drop-off to the Earthen Peak Ruins bonfire, the summoner is up on top of the cliff. Reaching it requires taking the upper route, past where you met Lapp.
In the area with Projected Heal, the summoner is standing directly on top of Projected Heal.
Keep in mind that killing the summoner will NOT prevent the initial spawn of any of the Murkmen, only prevent them from being resummoned. Some may still be resummoned for a short while after the summoner dies, but resummoning should stop quickly.

As far as I can tell, blessed weapons will NOT cause these to stop spawning, which is really unfortunate as they're quite annoying when trying to explore.
So why is it that I kill the summoners and STILL the murkmen keep respawning (along with summoners)?? O.o So.... does it mean I cannot get an area cleaned at all??
