Less souls from ennemies ?
I don't understand something....
When i began the game, i used to farm the skeletons, the giant one was giving 1000 and the little, i don't know, but that was correct.

Now, they give me so less souls...
And that's the same from every enemies, they give less and less souls...

I didn't see anything on the net about that. Can anyone give en answer about all that ?

I mean, that's stupid, you need more and more souls to level up, and enemies give you less and less ?

First off, farming is good only in certain areas , and only in certain stages of the game.
I dont know if Im correct, but its probably becuase ur just bigger level so it gives you less. It doesnt really matter anyway

The enemies will always give you the same souls. Your level doesn't matter. There are no diminishing returns from soul gain.

The only thing that gives you less souls is when you have an infected head. Do you have the infected parasite on your head that gives you half souls?

Harrison, no i dont have the parasite, and i m perfectly sure that the ennemies give me less souls from earlier in the game.

Like, maybe as Jabba said leveling up make you earn less souls from early game ennemies.

Because i m perfectly sure about the skeletons.
The 2 Big ones gave me 1000 each, and the littles 100 souls.
Now its 500 and 50.

Also, the balder soldiers (the dark knight in the fortress after the helkite dragon).
It was 500 souls, its 160 now...

160 souls from Parish Balder knights is the correct amount, the ones in Sen's drop 500.
You're probably just remembering wrong.

i have walked in many different area and not have follow a specific order...

I have gone to the sewer, but didnt killed the dragon and came back.
Then have walked to the priest in the ghost londo.

I have cleaned the catacomb then keep in the giant cemetary and been block (a wall of orange smoke).

I have walked throught an area (forget the name), it was closed and i needed to spend 20 000 souls to buy a stone key from the smithers.
This area was linked with the pass going to the Hydra (killed it too).

Then, I came back to the sewer and killed the bone dragon....

Curently, i'm at the lava spider woman.

And about my soul problem, it was some time before.
I mean, i saw the decrease of soul of the skeletons when i came back to di the catacombs...
I saw the decrease of Balders soldiers when i came back to the smithers to do the Locked area (20 000 souls).

Also, when i have traveled, i saw that the undead in the burg gave me less souls, but i wasnt really sure until i saw the decay of the Giant skeleton....

Try killing those undeads near Shrine. They give me 60- 90.

Nope.
The first skeleton used to give more.

https://darksouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Giant+Skeleton

In the souls from the monster, there is the 500-1000.

And i dont knlw why there is this decay...

There is one "gold" version of the giant skeletons guarding the winged spear, I never payed attention myself but that's probably the one that drops more souls than the rest... I don't have the game installed to check sadly

Same types of enemies in different areas give different amount of souls. For instance:
The skeletons in Firelink Shrine give 50 souls.
The skeletons in Catacombs give 100 souls.

Giant Skeletons: Firelink = 500, Catacombs = 800, Tomb of the Giants = 1000

Balder SideSword: Parish = 160, Sen's Fortress = 500
