Parrying soul bonus.

I have been running around in Anor Londo fighting silver knights while waiting to be summoned and I noticed something yesterday that I thought was strange. I have been using a MSGS and my equip load was over 50% so it made it difficult to backstab the silver knights so I decided to start parrying instead. I killed about 10-15 knights before I noticed they were giving me 1200 souls so I killed one regular to confirm that they give 1000. I then tried a backstab and it netted me 1000 souls as well. I decided it was a parry bonus of 20% because it stacked with my Symbol of Avarice. I switched to a Flamberg and was only getting 1000 souls for a parry. So not sure what is going on here.

TL;DR Getting 1200 souls for a parry kill on silver knight with MSGS and only 1000 with a parry kill with Flamberg. Haven't tested other weapons. Both weapons OHKO and upgraded to +14.

Doing 150% damage against an enemy in one hit gains you a 20% bonus to souls. Try smack around some hollows with your sword, you'll see that they now give 24 souls instead of 20.

Appreciate it.

I like how there's a reward for not just killing an enemy but really pimp slapping the hell out of them.



Apparently this post revived me as well. Yay!
