Board Thread:Dark Souls/@comment-26423525-20150522133940

I just got Dark Souls like 2 weeks ago and I made it to the Ornstein and Smough boss battle and I summoned someone to distract on of them so it wouldn't be as hard.

After the battle I wanted to help people with the boss battle and realized that you get 25,000 souls + the souls from the two silver knights you kill and also the extra souls you may get if you kill the demon in the room next to the trophy room then you could also kill the giants that guard the way to the boss battle but some new players don't go through the area at all and you help them as soon as they get to the bonfire so that is about 27,000 souls to 35,000.

Helping people with that boss battle also got me 10+ levels in about an hour. (level was about 60 - 70)

that also included the wait time of being summoned
