How to stop this guy from killing me

dark-souls

After the first boss, you enter a new level (Firelink Shrine) and there is a knight sitting on a log nearby. I attacked this knight a few times and that apparently made him mad, so he killed me.

Now this guy is ridiculous strong, so I figured I'll just respawn and leave him alone this time. Apparently this guy REALLY hates my guts though because every time I respawn he immediately begins attacking me. 3 hits later, I'm dead and have to respawn. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. I realize Dark Souls is known for its difficulty, but infinite dying at a checkpoint is kinda lame.

I have tried reloading my save point, but that didn't seem to help. I'd rather not start over, if at all possible.

Here is a screenshot of the guy if that helps.

NOTE

I found a cliff and got him to roll off the edge and die. I'm not sure if this is the only option though.

Unfortunately, there's no way of resetting the Crestfallen Warrior (short of starting over) after he's become hostile. See below for a way to actually calm him down. (I forgot all about Oswald!)

However, you are not penalized in any way for killing him/causing him to die. According to the Wikidot:

Be wary about accidentally making him hostile the first time you meet him, as he'll attack you as soon as you respawn at the bonfire.

It goes on to say:

As he doesn't drop any item nor does he have any effect on other NPC's story, you don't need to worry about killing him by kicking him off cliff as his "full reward" is only his souls.

Which is to say, there are no penalties for killing him, and you can snag a quick 1000 souls in the process!
