To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches. Additionally, this glitch was performed on patch 1.03 of the game. Thus, if you make a mistake you can restore your saved game from the cloud or USB and try again. Note: It is recommended to create a cloud or USB backup of your saved game before attempting this exploit.

Repeat this process as many times as desired. If the equipment box did appear briefly during the button sequence and the HUD has disappeared, select 'Yes' to use it and get a lot of souls and still have the Boss Soul equipped. Otherwise, you will use the soul and not retain it. If you do not see the equipment box briefly appear and the HUD is still visible, select 'No' when prompted to use the soul. If done correctly, the equipment box will appear for a split-second and you will get a prompt to use the soul and the HUD (that displays the quick item slots with the Boss Soul in it) in the bottom left corner will have disappeared. Another method is while holding D-pad Down the entire time, press LT, then quickly press X(3), Start, A. Finally, while holding D-pad Down the entire time, perform a parry (LT), then during the parry (when the shield is parallel to your character's shoulder - just one frame before he starts to drop it down), very quickly press X, Start, A. Make sure there are no other items in your quick item slots. Then, add a Boss Soul to one of your quick item slots. Equip a shield that lets you parry (for example, the Knight's starting shield). Next, add an empty estus flask to your tool belt slot.

It can be very difficult to do at first, but once you get the timing down it becomes much easier. This exploit can be used with any of the Boss Souls you acquire after defeating a Boss. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.

Note: This exploit was performed on patch 1.04 of the game. Additionally, equip the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring to get even more souls between rests at the bonfire. This increases the amount of souls you gain for a limited time, but you have to be embered for this to take effect. After you ember yourself, use a dried finger. To get more HP and survive longer, ember yourself while doing this. This can be done with any bonfire to respawn enemies. You can kill them again with minimal difficulty and work your way back to Firelink Shrine. Then, teleport back to the first area and all the enemies will have respawned. Thus, once you reach the Firelink Shrine, use the bonfire.
