I think I know what you're trying to say, I even counted how many times the enemies respawnded which was 11 times giving you a total amount of 12 kills for each enemy until the area was finall killed. For example in the Cardinal Tower bonfire area when you go down the ladder there's 3 enemies in that room, one sitting down, one walking across the bridge with a halberd and another one laying down across the bridge. Since you have to kill each enemy 12 times until they stop respawning it'll be a total amount of 36 kills in this area. And for these type of enemies they're at least worth 90 souls if you're playing on just NG and don't have the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring ( which adds an extra 10% of souls after you kill an enemy. But anyways since they're at least 90 souls and you have to kill 36 of them it'll be a total amount of 3,240 souls. Most enemies respawn 11 more times after you kill them, but I found out that some enemies don't respawn 11 more times just like the exploding noisy chain enemies, which are in the lowest area of the pit that you could survive falling if you have full health and wearing the Silver Cat Ring right before you enter the area with all of the ladders and platforms which then lead to the Gutter. I haven't used a bonfire ascetic, but I'm wondering the same thing, if they only respawn once after using the bonfire ascetic, or if the whole 12 kills for each enemy cycle will continue but be harder and reward you with more souls. I know it mentioned that if you use several of bonfire ascetics in Things Betwixt then some new type of enemies will spawn, but I'm just wondering if those new enemies will respawn 11 more times after I kill them. And if it is like a whole 12 kills for each enemy cycle then what would happen if I clear the area while I'm on NG+ 10? I know NG+ 10 is the maximum level that you could get to, but would if you cleared the whole area on NG+ 10 and then try to use another bonfire ascetic to respawn them. Will the difficulty and the amount of souls you get still be the same as NG+ 10, and will the enemies be able to infinitely respawn by keeping on doing the 12 kills for every enemy cycle and using a bonfire ascetic over and over again?
