Brain: you said above that you get "hundreds of thousands of souls per run in NG, 2 minutes tops for one run." I'm confused how that's possible, since each phalanx only gives 400 souls, and there are about a dozen of them in Painted World (give or take a few). If that's the case, using the items described above would net 172.8% of the original amount of souls gained from killing each enemy, which is 691.2 souls per kill, at a dozen enemies would total 8,294.4 souls per run.

So I'm confused as to how you're able to net hundreds of thousands of souls in a 2 minute run. Can you please explain or show me what I'm doing wrong?
