Dark Souls - Blight Town/First Bonfire (Easy Souls)

~1000 souls in one minute.

After the Hellkite Dragon in Undead Burg giving you the first grinding spot. Blight Town is second spot to grind some more. This is done pretty early in the game for those that want to level up fast.

Where did you get the eagle shield?! I swear to god I've been looking in that area for a good 7 hours now and I cannot find the damn thing

@kydrice Instead of going up the first ladder (like in the vid) continue forward to the second wooden plank area after the 2 flame dogs there you will find 2 ladders to take you down, one will let you continue the level, the other to a dead end with this shield. Hope that helps.

This is a cool method. I came on here looking for this video because I noticed a similar method. You know that first guy you attacked and knocked off the platform? If you stay standing around the same area a little longer, the flame dogs on the bridge will run off to their death. I can get a good number of souls by just standing there for a bit. I'll try a combination of what I do and what you do and see what happens.

Yeah, grinding sucks, but I like the game more when it's easier.

@hendenson Yeah, you're right! If you stay for a few seconds the Flame Dogs will jump off. Nice find. That will add 700 more souls.

Isn't that the second bonfire? Don't tell me I started exploring Blightown the wrong way..

[raijinEBR]

@s4msam You probably have the Master Key which lets you get into Blighttown from the back.

That's all well and good, but this is done pretty early in the game. I was level 20 when I first started this place.

@ILikeDarkSouls What...?

Here's what I said: "It's "you're", not "your". You may pretend to be a PS3 user, but your atrocious grammar speaks a different story." Forgetting the obvious sarcasm, where exactly is the problem?

[MunkyDrag0n]

This strategy is okay, but making the jump to the Iato corpse can be tough. I usually just kill these guys by hand and take their souls of the proud knight or lost undead.

@Aeolistify

When you say "...but when you start putting other demographics down because they don't like the same things as you... Well, that's just sad." That's an opinion. I don't think it's sad at all. PS3 users don't think it's sad to put down 360 users, and vice versa.

Nicely done.. Question? how are you able to climb that second ladder with the enemy climbing down... when i try it I get slaughtered.. lol
