Since your comment mentions the original Dark Souls, I'll add that in that game you would never be invaded if hollow only in human form. Only a portion of players elect to join the Blue Sentinels, and then they both have to sacrifice a ring slot and not lose their humanity to be able to help. With all these conditions, I'm not surprised people have seen few protectors these first few weeks after the game is out. I don't believe it matters whether the Way of Blue player is hollow or not, but the Blue Sentinel must be human, wearing the ring and also not fighting a boss or near a boss gate. The Way of Blue supposedly summons available members of the Blue Sentinels covenant to help the Way of Blue player being invaded. Perceive a human form, but whose form it takes depends on the person Peer closely at an effigy, and one begins to It also weakens the links to other worlds, preventing invasions and The item description for the human effigy mentions this effect:Ī warm, soft, shadow-like effigy.

Like the comments above mention, you can minimize invasions while online for about an hour by burning a human effigy at a bonfire. In my 72 hours of playing the game, I've been invaded only 3 times, not counting the areas belonging to the PvP-covenants. That said, there are many conditions for both being able to invade and being susceptible to invasions, so your friend shouldn't have to worry too much. Disconnecting the console from the internet is the only sure way to prevent player invasions in Dark Souls 2.
