I had a completely new Dark Souls experience yesterday on my 8th or so playthrough. Upon my return to the Northern Undead Asylum i decided to run past (rather than fight) the Black Knight patrolling the tutorial area. He gave chase to me in earnest. In my efforts to escape i ran through a number of areas and inadvertently picked up another 2 enemies. Oscar the Hollowed and aggrowed NPC and another random Hollow. So i now had 3 enemies on my tail. I decided my best chance of survival was running into the open and trying to sweep attack all 3 with a 2 handed R2 longsword. So i ran into the open area with the first bonfire and began circling backwards in a defensive fashion trying to find an opportunity to strike all 3 in a melee. Amazingly, in their attempts to strike me, they all ended up hitting each other, and taking health of each other. The hollow was first to fall, followed by Oscar, but not before both of them had reduced the Black Knights health by around 50%. I was then left with the relatively easy job of soloing the Black Knight.
In all my time playing Dark Souls, i have never known regular enemies and Aggrowed NPCs to damage each others health in this way. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
