Ganking, helping with non-boss parts. (The area you need to go through for Pate to give you the large White Sign Soapstone comes to mind.)

The reward is given after a set amount time and this time is reduced by gaining Souls from enemies. This is why the full Phantoms are often preffered as most areas only lets Shades get through about 1/2 to 1/3 of the area.
