random humanity gain

[Icedfate]

sometimes when i am fighting enemies, i will suddenly gain 1 humanity for no apparent reason. why does this happen and how can i ge tit to happen more often?

[Tigrisfish]

u get "random" humanity when u killed certain amount of things in an area u havnt killed the bosses in if i remember correct u can get up to 10 humanity in each area before taking out the boss

[Kaala☆]

What Tigris said, there's a hidden counter in each section which tallies your souls collected, once you reach a certain number you are awarded one humanity and the counter increases. This happens 10 times before you take out the boss.

Where did you read that?

The other two gentlemen are correct. There is a hidden soul "table" that awards soft humanity to the player once he/she accumulates a certain amount of souls from killed enemies, but only if the area boss is still alive. It is fairly easy to get the first soft humanity, but it takes more and more souls to get each additional humanity up to a maximum of 10 per area.

based on my experience, i get soft humanities when i killed undead merchant ,hollow soldiers,balder knighs,heavy knights,necromancers,butchers,bloated heads. all of them are hollows and has red eyes

Here's a comprehensive explanation of how the soft humanity earning works.

well i still got soft humanity from bloated head when manus is dead already

[naptalie]

You still get humanity if the boss is alive or dead, the game has a hidden counter for enemies killed, when it fills up, you get a soft humanity, the amount needed to kill keeps increasing until it's so high you'll almost never reach it.

Fact, you get none after 10. Proved this with hellkite wyvern bridge farming.

i only know in my experience, early in the game i was stuck in undead burg for a LONG time and i somehow accumulated 14 humanity from all the stuff i was killing over and over again on the way to taurus demon. when i finally killed him and then went deeper and found capra demon i died about 20 times on capra demon before finally giving up and abandoning m 14 humanities, i was pissed off. I think i might have used a couple humanity items but most of that came from all the fighting i was doing crawling back to the bosses.

i never had that much trouble on any boss since the capra demon...(just finished seath the scaleless) and i still get humanities from time to time but never as much as i got in that first part of the game. probably because i have not been getting stuck in the areas the way i was stuck in undead burg

Interesting , i didn't know it was max 10 humanities per area , i thought it was unlimited to help new players who have trouble killing a boss and get repeatedly invaded , so they can restock in humanities
