Use the rat route that fits your progress
The Undead Parish bridge offers an early Humanity route; Depths rats are another repeatable option once you reach that area.
Dark Souls: Remastered rewards careful route repetition around bonfires. Rats can drop Humanity, enemy loops provide souls, and rare Titanite upgrades often have one guaranteed pickup plus a low-probability enemy source. Item Discovery improves farming, but late-game routes carry real risk because death can erase unspent souls and Humanity.
