I cleared the way to that boss out even though it only took me two times to kill it in the end.
I've done this a couple of times actually - clear a path to the boss by killing enemies 15 times, spending the souls at Majula and then warping back to the boss. I would never do such a thing previously, but the spawn limit has turned me into a real scrimper on souls. If it takes a few times to kill a boss and you lose your souls in there, that's all the spawns of those enemies 'lost', so I chose to exhaust the spawn before going for the boss.
Actually the more I play the more I realise worrying about the spawn limit seems unnecessary, I'm already at level 85-ish and I feel like I'm not even that far into the game, it seems I'm at way higher a level than previous souls games for where I am in the game (or where I think I am, it could be I'm further but I assume I'm about 40% done at the most). Still it's been good to stock up on item drops.

Go up to stairs, then both the knights will follow you. Then run down and into the door that you came through. Then the knights will go back up, run up and hit one of them and run back down. This way, its possible to fight one knight at the time, while the other knight is just waiting at the top of the staircase. If you have enough stamina, you can just run past the shield guys.
50,000 was the restriction that Bamco stated, so you probably heard it from an official source. Through testing the going theory is now that the restriction is 50,000 +/- 25%.
According to the Japanese FAQ it's possible for From to adjust the ranges at any time server-side without necessarily having to push out a patch for the game, so that could be a moving target depending on how active they are at making adjustments.
Do you have
the souls of the Lost Sinner, Old Iron King, Rotten, and Duke's Dear Freja? If you do then you need to go to the forked path in the Shaded Woods and take the leftmost door to reach your next destination.

lol, yeah, my paranoid insistence on using every soul I get the second I get it has actually made me a lot more liberal in my use of souls than previous games. I figure I should use it before I lose it. In the first two I didn't give a shit if I lost 100k+ souls.

At first I wanted to kill the pigs with my beginner-sword. No damage at all, pigs attacking me, I run away and fall into pit.
Lol
So, I accidentally killed Mild Mannered Pate before speaking to him. Yeah, I'm a Bandit and just shot him down from afar. I heard that you can (possible spoiler ahead)
resurrect NPCs by praying at their graves? If true, how do I do this? I reversed Hollow and went back to where I killed him but there is no gravestone...
Anyone? I want to know how to maximize my gain here before moving on in Aldia's.
Worrying about the spawn limit really is unnecessary. If you're concerned about there being a finite amount of available souls, don't be. Even if you're playing completely offline there are some enemies that can be spawned endlessly.

That part is easier with ranged attack thoughIt's not easy mode, trust me.
But yeah, there is no universal easy mode through the whole game, that is true. There are advantages and disadvantages with both closed and ranged combat throughout the game.End game boss spoiler below
Just get a Shield with high fire and high stability, need 80+ on the first, 75+ on the second. Block the fire. Yes, you can run from each breath. However, unless you have great area awareness, you may end up in spot where you can't run far enough due to the position of you, the boss, and the end of the platform.
Who's that?

Those pigs and their supernatural lock-on whiffing properties. What a random enemy.
Is this chariot boss skippable? A friend was telling me about it, but I've already gone through the area, and don't remember it at all.
Oh cool. Don't think I stumbled upon him. Damn I missed a lot on my first playthrough.
Yes, only needed to

Nothing is limited, there are infinite bonfire ascetics, you can also go to NG+. Leveling past the 200's doesn't provide give you anything other than more options. Your character reaches max effective power the second you can wield an end game weapon while equipping a 100% shield with high stability. Hitting a boss for 620 instead of 570 means you have to hit them 17 times instead of 19? You're not winning or losing because of this.
The only thing that's really limited is the difficulty of completing the NPC quests involving summoning them for boss fights without them dying. It's only limited in that the difficulty of doing this on NG+ or Ascetic levels is much higher for some bosses.

I love some of the freedom I have with this game. There are about a billion things I want to do in several different areas, which is great because I've run into some incredibly hard challenges this far into the game. At this point I can choose to:
Probably going to explore some areas and gather items, the bosses that I can challenge right now are very tedious with two of them being incredibly strong, and the third is a pain in the ass to walk to given the nearest bonfire is 15 minutes away. Not sure how much putting off I should do on them, I'm already at about soul level 100 but I still feel unprepared to take them down.
Kill Royal Rat Authority
Kill Freja
Kill Smelter Demon
Finish exploring/gathering things in Earthen Peak
Finish Iron Keep and make my way to the other boss there. (at least that's what I've heard from a friend)
Finish The Gutter and make my way to the boss there.

What enemies? Even the spiders in Brightstone seem to all go away after a while.
But yeah, I think it's unlikely that you'll clear out EVERY area.
Oh shit, the ones in Majula do? Nice!
These guys were responsible for my second death in the game. They'll follow you all the way to the bonfire.
ok, I'm here with this thing in the room (picture link) - I only got
3 big orangey looking boss souls: the iron king, the lost sinner and the rotten. I'm guessing the spider would be big and orangey too, right? if you only have to pick it up, when you stand next to the red glowing splooge on the floor, then I guess, it's a game breaking bug? :/
there are two freja souls, right? the one before the spider boss was a freja too but only a normal demon soul, right? then I'm missing the other one.
could be remembering wrong but I thought there was another room after this boss room?

If you're at the bonfire though you can just sit down and they will reset.

In the early area, NMW
, I think I've searched through it pretty thoroughly, I think I've collected everything/searched all rooms etc, but it kind of comes to an end with nothing really significant happening (ie Boss). I've done the whole loop to the point you're on a
Without getting too spoilery should I head back for something I've missed, or was that it?

I definitely never did anything with the stone stalagmite thing in your picture. I picked up the splooge on the floor. I will say though, that I remember not having 4 big orangey souls and being confused by the fact that I only had 3. I think one of them might have been a darker smaller soul? I don't remember very well. But I was still able to walk up to the shrine of winter and have the doors open. I also don't think the 4th soul was for freja but belonged to whatever the stain on the floor was. Like as if Freja wasn't 'really' the 4th big boss but whatever was was long gone.
If all else fails, maybe try using a bonfire ascetic and re-fighting the boss.
The easily farmable one is in a late-game area:
the ghostly pyro swordsmen in the Royal Crypt. The bell in the large corridor leading to the boss door spawns a group of them every time you ring it, and they never seem to stop spawning. You can ring the bell, clear them out, ring it again, and repeat indefinitely until your relentless thirst for grinding is sated.
That you can engage in an endless number of localized and generalized NG+s does little to address concerns about limitations on souls available within a single playthrough.
You missed pulling a lever past all the spider monkey's, it moves the ship closer to you to board, and you fight a boss there.
Alternatively, you can skip No Man's Wharf by beating The Pursuer, at Cardinal Tower using the key you got from the Giant.

None as far as I know. There is a ring that allows you to keep your humanity upon death. It breaks every time you die but you can repair it for 3K souls

Are there any cool looking mage outfits in the game? If so, where? Like example, I loved how the Gold-hemmed Black set looked in Dark Souls 1. Basically any nice looking light gear will do. I'm currently using Wanderer's set which I like, but I've been using it for a while. Any help?

I'd take that over another "garbage dump shanty town at the bottom of the world" level any day.
Just take it slowly. Also, starting of as a knight or bandit is probably the easiest as those are the most defensive. Make sure you don't try to rush through things in frustration, that's definitely going to get you killed. And learn to roll.
Finally got the first boss down, second try as a knight. Now time for the next area.
No,
there's only one soul of Freja, and it's not big and orange. You're done collecting Old One souls. Head for the left path in the Shaded Woods to show off your spoils.
