Is it intended to constantly have enemies respawn?

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

Just started playing this and it says these sites of grace give you hp/flasks but all enemies will come back. Are we supposed to constantly refill our stuff and let enemies respawn? Or is this the game's way of saying we'll be punished if we take the easy way? I have no clue yet how else I can replenish my stuff. Even my arrows lol

I'm new to the series as a whole. I understood most of the mechanics but this is a little strange. I would very much prefer not to have to trounce around and kill a castle full of people after just doing it 20 min ago or ride my horse through a path of 30 enemies I also just cleared

Is the enemy reset just for a certain region or is it the entire map?

most normal enemies you've killed will respawn when you sit at a grace, there are a few enemy locations that spawn a grace after defeating them and those won't respawn, bosses wont respawn either thankfully

That's a game mechanic in all Dark Souls games and in ER as well. It's very usefull, this way you're able to farm items and gain runes to level up, you can also train your combat skills with some mobs next to a grace.
Only bosses and a few minibosses don't respawn. You don't need to kill all this enemies over and over again, just take another way around, run past them or use Torrent and ignore them all.

Yes, you respawn at site of grace if you die and enemies respawn or if you teleport to a site of grace, enemies will also respawn.
In case if you die you lose all your runes and need to get to where you died to retrieve your runes, if you die again before that these first runes are 100% lost.
And "WELLCOME TO A SOUS-LIKE GAME ", it is all intended mechanics of a souls-like game, if you died after defeating most or all enemies inside the castle and you did not get 1 single site of grace inside you have to kill it all again (or just get through dodging everything).

Oh i see. So the enemy respawns are endless on purpose so you don't get softlocked after dying a bunch

Consider it chance to farm gear/weapons/runes

Anybody know if anybody managed to kill all enemies in the game without resting at grace?

Good luck with that by how big the game is at at base level (tho I dont know if it is possible even if trying to).

it would be possible with the enemies that refill flasks after they die, it would just take...forever

I think I was expecting something like skyrim/fallout 4's system where enemies do respawn but takes a decently long time. I guess i'll need to stealth a lot in this game lol

easiest tip i can give you is all the enemies have tells for what attacks they are doing. the game encourages you to learn the patterns and abuse them to make your progress past them easier each time until you just are blasting through most enemies in the game. they do reuse assets some bosses early might be regular enemies later as an example, the gargoyles.

Tip I give you . . skip nothingm, fight everything, improve your gaming skills and understanding instead of just avoiding, it will grow on you and will for sure help you get through the game either way (be it by gear/weapons/upgrade-materials/runes farm, be it by the practice).

Stealth works at times, but more often than not you'll just be running past them, either on foot or horse, then jumping over a ledge or through a doorway. You can agro a castle full of enemies as long as you dodge roll through their attacks and run past them to safety.

You should kill your way through them initially for a number of reasons, but if you've already cleared and looted an area a couple times there's not much reason to fight them again just to reach the last place you died. Plus you run a high risk of losing your runes that are laying on the ground where you died.

At some point sooner or later you will be good enough at the game to crawl and completely clear an area of the big dungeons and reach the next grace without dying, which is very satisfying.

They also respawn if you walk too far away. That "island" where you get to after defeating Astel is a good example of that. There are also endless ghosts in certain catacombs.

I wouldn't think so, at least not without major glitches.

You have to rest to burn the Erdtree and i think at least one trip to RTH is needed somewhere along there, too.
