Starting Archstone	1-2 Phalanx Archstone
Required Equipment/Spells/Miracles	Able to kill Red Eye Knight effectively Soul Arrow or Soul Light
Method	Once practiced and perfected, you'll farm 2800-3100 (White WT) souls in 3-5 minutes, very early in the game as well as stock up on healing items. Begin by traveling to the 1-2 Archstone and turn around to enter the 1-1 area. Travel up the tower you opened from 1-1, taking out any enemies along the way. Kill the Blue Eye Knight and proceed along the wall until you reach the second tower. Go through the second tower passageway to a wall segment, killing the Red Eye Knight. You'll have 2600 souls from the red-eye and blue-eye knights, plus souls from enemies you killed along the way. After killing the red eye knight go back to the first tower you traveled up from. Kill yourself by jumping off from the top floor of the tower. You will re-spawn at the 1-1 archstone. Go to your bloodstain to collect your souls and the enemies will be reset. Wash, rinse and repeat.

Trick to kill Red Eye Knight

Killing the Blue Eye Knight is manageable for a new player but the Red Eye Knight can be very tough. There is a trick to kill him, though, that is very easy. When you are heading up the spiral staircase towards the Blue Eye Knight, DO NOT break the two barrels near the top that partially block your path. Walk around them on the left side leaving them intact. When you reach the Red Eye Knight, get close to him or use a throwing knife to get him to head towards you. Now run back to the spiral staircase letting him follow you the whole way. Don't just run because he is pretty slow and will turn around and go back to his post. This can be a bit of a pain on your first time but you can hear his feet and armor as he chases you so just slow down and make sure he keeps coming.

When you get to the staircase, make sure he is still following you and hurry down to where you left those two barrels intact. Go around them again and stop halfway across the next platform next to the wooden railing. When the Red Eye Knight comes down the stairs, he will stop at the barrels. Then he will turn towards you and run off the edge committing suicide and giving you his souls for free. This works about 9 out of 10 times, occasionally he breaks the barrels and comes after you but it is rare.

This takes slightly more time than actually fighting and killing him but to anyone who gets repeatedly owned by him when they first start playing, it is worth it.

This is a great run :)
it a simple run that isnt rediculously complicated sounding that sounds like it take 10 min to complete blah blah blah…
Just kill things and kill yourself —— that easy!
Now combine this with the ring of arivice and the silver bracelet, BOOM! Over 3k souls a run :)
Great idea :) thanks!
