So basically, I'm a noob at this game so I picked up the Drake Sword (obviously). After ringing the bell in the Undead Parish I couldn't find my way to the second bell, so I looked it up online. I noticed that the guy got A LOT more souls than I did from the Gargoyles and 1) he didn't use the Drake Sword and 2) he wasn't on NG+ or anything.

tl;dr Does the Drake Sword change the amount of souls picked up? Specifically from bosses (since they give you the most)?
