The Dink Network

There's a glitch in the forest area if you unlock the door where you can aggro some of the ghost knights and then make them walk off the edge. I farmed souls this way and the game became really easy. Even on the second play through I wasn't really having any difficulties. I never finished the second play through though because the game was pretty boring the second time. Pretty sure I was almost done with the second play through too.

Are you playing with a controller? I can't imagine playing this game without a controller.
