I realize you're not asking for help in Dark Souls, but should you ever find yourself playing it again, I feel like I should tell you that you can run past nearly every standard enemy in pretty much every FromSoftware game. I often play the game sections in reverse. Sprint through looking for the next safe spot, then after activating it, work backwards to the previous safe spot.
- maroonblazer 5y agoDon't the enemies you're running past, though, drop loot/weapons/spells/stuff that you need to reach the next safe spot?
- jimmaswell 5y agoNot that I can remember, maybe once or twice.
- bluefirebrand 5y agoNot at all, in fact the enemies basically wind up being red herrings. They drop trivial amounts of souls which are used to buy levels, but souls are also gained by beating bosses and from using items that also grant souls. I've experimented a lot with this. If you just fight bosses and use boss soul items and other easy to reach soul items, you will end each game roughly 5 levels below someone who is more meticulous and clears each zone of enemies without grinding them repeatedly. At the end of the game, those 5 levels will be a trivial difference.
