Wesrin Cross enemies respawn?

[Galaduir]

Are monsters capable to respawn without save/reloading the game session? It seemed so to me in the gigantic main hall of Wesrin Cross. I cleared every corner of this enormous location, I lit the torches everywhere just to be sure I've already been in this or that part of the hall but monsters seem to respawn over and over again in distant spots where I had already killed them some time ago. Finally I gave up and just went to the spider boss, killed it and lifted up to the surface. Hurray, I can go to bed at last!

So do they really respawn there of this was just pranks of my already half-sleeping mind?

Monsters normally do not respawn in DS1 to my knowledge. They do respawn in some mods like The Lands of Hyperborea and in DS2 though.

I'm playing through the game now and haven't seen any respawning. I went through that area about a week ago and like you said it was gigantic so maybe that ended up confusing and disorienting you.

You probably know that there are scripted spawns so you may approach an empty looking area and then that triggers enemies to come out of floors or walls. That may have caused some confusion too.

They do not respawn however they can move around freely in their given location. Monsters are limited in where their allowed to go however since that room is so large I would guess the developers forgot to put limitations inside that one room. You can test this by having a monster see you and run backwards some distance and they will just return to their original patrolling area.
