Dark Souls - 100k souls every 15 minutes and fast way to Nito

[@DrCrowtron]

I'm not addicted, I can quit any time I want... (gently pets controller)

[@superniger4822]

Oh yeah? You still playing this game 10 years later

[@DrCrowtron]

@xSnipeStroker any curved sword works. You need to have Quelaag's soul, a curved sword, 9 titanite shards + 1k souls to get to normal +5, 9 large titanite shards + 1k souls to get to +10, 10 demon titanite + 25k souls to get to Quelaag's Furysword +5. Titanite shards can be bought from Andre near the entrance to Darkroot (800 each), large titanite shards can be bought from the merchant at the top of Sen's Fortress (you have to jump to; 4k each), and demon titanite falls off of titanite demons.

[@Lobselvith]

new game+ the Forest Hunters in Darkroot Garden, give 6k souls per kill and easy to kill. I got like 21k in about 1.5 mins - 2 mins that includes the run back to the bonfire.

[@AydarBMSTU]

Lol, I discovered this way as well. And if you have homeward bones (which are very cheap) your farm will be even faster. And even more than that, there are big mushrooms a little bit further which drop guaranteed golden pine resin which gives a big boost to the damage. And even more than that if you have a ring giving more souls the farm is ridiculously fast

[@MyZCube]

AydarBMSTU except that the mushroom parents in NG+ will nearly one shot you

[@AydarBMSTU]

MyZCube well yeah, even on NG they are scary, however it's not that hard to dodge their attacks (they have like 2 types of attack, slow attack and an even slower one followed by another hit). I don't remember now, but I think that it's possible to block their attacks

[@MyZCube]

AydarBMSTU blocking their attack will most likely still break your shield. ONE of the normal slow attack which they can even chain into TWO attacks is 70% of your hp on NG+ with smough's armor while the slower one with wind up is an instant one shot. so even if you dodge them it's not that safe of a farming technique.

[@TheJackCoffee]

+MyZCube not safe farming technique? you surely don't praise the sun, my son

[@terrymanly5051]

You should put on that you require to have no fear to do this

[@Neorecon19]

The Crystal Golems in the Duke Archives give out 1200 souls per kill, with a chance of Blue Titanite Chunks in the standard game. Or if you're looking for Purging Stones or Twinkling Titanite, the Man-Eater Shells in Crystal Cavern are good for farming after defeating Seath the Scaleless. They give out a decent 1000 souls in the standard game.

[@ProjectDevilEye]

This is actually very useful to know as a first time player! Thanks for sharing.

[@aeoncalcos7830]

Thanks for the help, man! Anor Londo gets boring when I need to run back to the bonfire just so the Silver Knights and Sentinels respawn, at least these guys are easy to kill and I can just homeward bone back when I'm good with the souls that I have

[@firey5]

Wow, I'm late getting to this game but this is extremely helpful. Can't imagine how many humanities you could pull off with the gold serpent ring and 10 humanities loaded. Thanks for sharing!

[@dertoni9778]

In 10 minuts 20 humanities.

[@firey5]

@@dertoni9778 Not bad. Too bad I don't have the symbol of avarius on this save and I'm almost out of mimics lol

[@dertoni9778]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoXHi6OYjKmMpas

[@Returnality]

Use the Symbol of Avarice and this will go even faster.

[@xeno126]

***** With the healing ring it makes sense.

[@PopularPaladin]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just realized that to join the Darkwraith covenant you need to give the lordvessel to Ingward and not talk to Frampt which i completely messed up. Now I need to beat the game and get the lordvessel again but with this video you've speed up the process a ton. THANKS!

[@stemforeveryone6913]

This is so, so much more work than farming the Phalanx in the Painted World of Ariamis. Put on Havel's set and Chaos Firestorm and just rinse and repeat. Clearing them out takes less than a minute and gets you more than 8,000 souls. Plus it doesn't have any of the hassle of being in the tomb of the giants.

[@mozartfx1]

Remember, he's playing in NG+ so Soul drop numbers are higher...and, he's wearing a ring to increase the drop numbers as well. Baby skeletons are great for farming Humanity (and Souls) but, Darkwraiths in New Londo are also easy with the possibility of getting a Titanite Slab. Great video. Thanks.

[@DrCrowtron]

Not everyone is into, or has access to, pvp'ing. You certainly can make get a bunch of souls pvp'ing, but in the event that you'd prefer not to, this method is an alternative.

[@DrCrowtron]

It's been a while since I visited. Wow... thanks for checking out my video. Even if you hate it or have a different approach it is still amazing to see this video still being relevant in some way shape or form. I also want to apologize for the questions I left hanging, and to be honest I am not sure if I could answer them off the cuff right now. Thank you to those that have though.

[@oxnboxn]

Nice guide through the tomb, though for soulfarming, I would most definetely suggest going to the painted world of Ariamis, farming the Phalanx there is not only less dangerous but also more efficient as you get about...I think 9-10k Souls per run and depending on your equip you need less than a minute per run with a bonfire literaly 20 meters away from it. Best farmspot as far as I know. You can also afford to wear the Symbol of Avarice there. Still, like your style and voicework a lot :)

[@aimacminecraft]

dude i loved this video so much i didnt even realice it had a bad quality, you are great keep it up!

[@aufkeinenfall6268]

I had so much trouble in that area...i think i will watch this 5 times or something to get down there that "easy" as well as you did...thumps up!

[@navarrekemp1035]

I'm getting back into dark souls, restarting with the 1st. Thank you, this is really helpful.

[@DrCrowtron]

Working on getting my setup in better shape so I can jump on KZbin. I'm thinking a KZbin Live full play through of Dark Souls 3 would be fun. This Dark Souls video was a lucky fluke, so I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. But, maybe I can keep a few people entertained.

[@conan2096]

overall i heard phalanx is quicker for exp souls, but the soul drops really do push this above it, thanks.

[@abdullahal-azmi2680]

Ok but where you get that sword sweeping location ?

[@ievgeniiromenskyi3375]

use symbol of avarice, evel eye ring will compensate health loss(if it's not enough use leeroy shield) you'll get 20% more souls and most humanities you can (covetus and avarise item discovery does not stack)

[@bobe127]

I was checking my saved videos and this video was here. It's 2020 now but wanted to stop by and say what's up

[@Cygnet13]

Thanks for the guide, really appreciate the effort you put into showing us. And by the way, it may not be hd 106546518694p quality, but it's still very clear.

[@willybirdie6732]

red things with spears at the statue in Painted World of Ariamis . ~1 min per 8500 souls, you have to have great fireball or area attack.. pure mage soul farming> anor londo's 6 big giants, 9000/2 mins. great heavy souls with power within is one hit kill for the giant at intel >50 happy farming guys!!!!

[@statichammer9984]

Combo this with crystal soul spear, crystal catalyst, crown of dusk, bellowing ring, and symbol of avarice. Symbol of avarice + silver serpent ring + overkilling by 50% of enemy max hp gives a huge boost. 50 int crystal soul spear with crystal catalyst, magic booster equips and power within will overkill guardians for like 7777 souls

[@collegeisdabomb]

great video. i like the forest hunter's woods for my souls farming though. A combination of the silver serpent ring, the slumbering dragon ring, and the hidden body spell makes it to where I can kill all the woodsmen without any fighting, just sneak up and backstab, and I get 64,800 souls per run. the bonfire is really close by, and each run take about five minutes. but to each his own. your way gets you a bunch of humanity it seems, so that's pretty sweet.

[@veolu]

Thanks for showing this area, its a pain in the ass to get to but now with the lord vessel I can just warp out when Im bored. I prefer a farming method where I don't have to glitch my game, so thanks!!

[@p4kito92]

In Anor Londo's Castle when you've enough strenght to one-shot dragon guard and giants you can farm even more souls.

[@Dhuradhan]

NG+, Painted World of Ariamis, kill 3 hollows at the entrance, run to Phalanx, kill them efficiently, run back. 40 seconds, 24k souls (around 16k in simple NG). Put on some music, relax, rinse and repeat, and you'll have 1M souls in 15-30 minutes. Do this method until you reach around 250 soul levels... or however patient you can be with the ever increasing amount of souls required for a level, then move on to another NG+. With my INT build (when I started, I had over 50 INT... now it's 70), I used Enchanted Uchigatana for fast, yet still overkill (

[@Enyrm]

Your voice is oddly hypnotic and relaxing. Keep doing your thing.

[@Luanmbwest]

I regret so much for doing that, it took me 1 hour and a half to go back to the firelink

[@bradleyhamilton4409]

Get the lord vessel first so you can warp :P it's a life saver late game.

[@DrCrowtron]

As I remember it, humanity despawns as a new skeleton is given a spawn placeholder. I ended up just taking the loss and kept killing because I was most interested in getting the raw souls. In order to minimize losses I made sure the skeletons were as close to me as possible before killing them, and killing them while stationary.

[@LeonChaos18]

I use the painted world trick too. The 10k in 2 minutes is for first play through. (And using a nice, strong, sweeping weapon, it takes a lot less than 2 minutes) The 100k in this video is done on the second play through it seems. Considering exp is doubled in NG+, and you have symbol of avarice/covetous silver serpent ring equipped you get a little over 20k souls every minute or so. What's nice about the method in the video is that you don't have to run back to a bonfire every time.

[@meat4u]

Yea that's funny, I figured that one out too when I got to the painted world. But still was not sure that it was better than this since I never tried this method. Thanks for letting me know. Made about 250-300k souls that I needed in order to beat the 4 kings. That boss as a dex char is just painful.

[@edgarzeke6389]

Dat 4k quality tho.... but in all honesty this is a good video. it helped me out alot. keep up the good work bro you earned my sub

[@BlackRose4445]

I gotta say that the skull lantern you find in the giants tomb is also extremely effective against the dark gameplay

[@allrequiredfields]

This is the one of the things I really hope they improve on in DS2. These places that are extremely far out of the way without connecting to other areas. It's such an annoying chore getting down there, or down to Ash Lake. And these oppressively dark areas are pretty tedious.

[@donwanderley4026]

That's part of the charm.

[@TheLastVoodooMan]

allrequiredfields on the up side, once you found the bonfires you can teleport to many hard to reach places. still it's quite a walk to bosses sometimes

[@aBetterHumanBeing]

well getting to ash lake the first time must be hard and tedious. Once you get the lordvessel you can simply warp back to it...

[@allrequiredfields]

Yeah, just picked that up, so I feel like a bit of a tard for complaining.

[@Bronx1875]

2 months later everyone agree's that Dark Souls 2 is a flop.

[@Label07]

@Caspyrify A few tips if you want the Furysword. 1) Buy the Scimitar from Undead Merchant in first level 2) Save all your regular Titanite to bring a curved sword to +5 3) Farm any remainder you need of 'Large Titanite Shard' from slugs in Blighttown 4) Save all demon titanite (I was able to get my Furysword to +4 after completing most of Anor Lando)

[@DrCrowtron]

It is the Quelaag Fury Sword, and is crafted from the material dropped by Quelaag (the big spider witch).

[@Saintsrowistheshit]

Quality video (despite the poor quality, which you acknowledged so no big deal) informative and definately a good method to get rich, thanks.

[@PopesDrinkCoke09]

this is super sweet. fantastic job on the video.

[@awk30m]

Exactly, I won't play the Elder Scrolls MMORPG but I like the community involved behind the series, played it since the first game and I have them all. As I do with Demon and Dark souls.

[@JokerofSins]

Awesome thanks! I had to watch your walkthrough step by step cause that place is freaking dark! XD

[@phase866]

"Sealed by the great lord's power" -flips everything-

[@fearthepointman3134]

I agree very good location to farm souls but i didn't realize it at first because i was mainly trying to obtain a white titanite slab from pinwheels. The symbol of avarice is a must for titanite slabs, i must have levelled up ten times before finding that damn slab! This was new game plus and yes i already found the one in the passageway.

[@TimeScout]

"Recorded with a toaster"

[@prdprdprdprdprdel]

OR, you can take symbol of avarice(It's not really necessary but i like to use replenishment with it), silver serpent ring, dragon king greataxe/firestorm/obsidian greatsword and do the phalanxes... Cast replenishment, 2H your greataxe, running attack the first hollow, run past the boxes from the right side and there will be a little hole between the phallanxes. run in there, strong attack, +over10 000souls. running attack the remaining 2 hollows on your way back +1000 souls for the three of them. rest at the bonfire, your replenishment just wore off and you made over 11K souls in exactly 1 minute :)

[@sewagedweller]

I like farming in painted word , the phalax drops around 10000 souls per go when you use silver ring and symbol of avarice . Area effect spells like wrath of gods kill them off quickly . For humanity best place is the abyss . Black spirits drop twin and single humanity at a very high rate with a gold ring .

[@MiGTurtle]

you can also combo that with the mimic helm to increase soul gathering even tho it drops ur hp the ring of the evil eye (if u kill the skels quick enuff) and sanctus u will always be topped off and ur getting 40% more souls (20% from silver serpent ring and 20% from helm of arvice). so go farm guys

[@thesenate9779]

Silver knight sword works good too. Really op weapon in my opinion, has a really good move set.

[@Hackrifice]

And good luck, 'cause getting out of Tomb of the Giants without the Lore Vessel at a low level, and especially if you aren't an experienced player, can be one of the hardest things in the game!

[@mozartfx1]

Great video Caspyrify! Please upload more tips. Thanks.

[@zombie0Breath]

Have boss soul in hot bar swing a weapon I use long sword two handed. Before it ends the animation use the soul and hit pause button. If it goes to the menu screen proceed. If it says use soul hit no cuz u did it wrong. Once in the menu use estus flask even if the flask is empty it will still use the boss soul without ever dissapearing. U can also use this on fire keeper souls for humanity and a cheap way to heal health. Is mainly used for pvp building because hackers r scrubs and someone has to stop em. Makes the game more fun when perfecting a acc rather then grinding mindlessly. I love this game sooo much. \[V]/ praise the sun casuals :)

[@mikaelleighty5991]

+Danny dee how does the estus part work? do i use it from the menu? please tell meee

[@mikaelleighty5991]

+Danny dee nvm i got it. thanks!

[@GodWerewolf]

+Danny dee finally a way of getting souls thx

[@mentalslug7580]

+scorn193 you forgot something the noob way

[@yousefmas6694]

+Danny dee So what ur saying is, have a boss souls in hot bar, swing a weapon, while in animation use the soul and go to menu? then use estus flask?

[@ElegyForTheMasses]

It’s so much faster to get to Nito from the first bonfire. Just jump off the ledge behind the archer behind Patches, where you find the silver covetous ring, and jump down from there to the path where Leroy invades. So much faster than going from the second bonfire, especially since the first bonfire can be warped to.

[@DrCrowtron]

Thanks for the heads-up. I fixed the mistake in the description.

[@Wownerd1265]

5:13 THIRD BONFIRE? OH SHIT. That would've saved so much time.

[@rushnerd]

I don't know that this nets you anymore souls than the secret bonfire/Darkroot forest warriors trick, but it nets a surprising amount of humanity and with Gold-Lined armor set for toxic protection you're set.

[@Frankntooth]

Omg.... I never knew the 2nd bond fire in the tomb was even there after 5 playthroughs. I always rushed through it XD

[@DrCrowtron]

Ascension refers to going to a smith and having your weapon fundamentally changed. Rather than modify, you ascend. Just go to a smith and it will be one of the options on top of their list.

[@Bamshi101]

There's also an illusionary wall in the Catacombs that leads to a bonfire (near the ladder up to the place where you first meet Patches the Hyena, the guy who kicks you into the pit in the Tomb of the Giants) I only just found it in Ng+

[@MrRaggaedeman]

If youre a pyromancer its quite easy to kill them with chaos firestorm or fire tempest. Just run towrds them and start casting when youre close to them. They will need a second before they can attack and that is usally enough time to cast the spell and kill 7 or 8 of them with one hit. Finish the leftovers, go to the bonfire and repeat.

[@BeneathTheVioletSky]

I remember the first time I was in the Tomb of the Giants. I didn't even realize I could use the skull lantern and I navigated the entire thing without any light. I can't count how many times I died.

[@MrCheesyBaconBits]

Thank you very much for this, will try it out.

[@ariadumler410]

another great place to farm is in the painted world of ariamas you can kill the blob guys and including the 3 undead you kill between the bonfire and the courtyard you can get around 8500 per run and you can do a run once per minute if you have decent stats

[@PonzooonTheGreat]

Strong pyromancies one-shot the skeleton dogs. Otherwise just stay behind them and they're fine to butt-poke. Also, you can run past all of those bone-towers really easily. I never thought about that area for soul farming though.

[@InjusticeHater]

+ u can farm humanity there. u can see it drop in the very end but have to be rather quick to collect it.

[@NaughtyKlaus]

If you use decent gear, you can farm anor londo's giants, silver knights, (whatever those bat things are) and sentinels, and return to a bonfire, (preferrably homeward bone). Each run of just killing the giants should yield nearly 30k souls, which only takes a few minutes (1-3 depending on your gear) to commit to, and should be much more exciting than killing infinitely respawning npc's (Which is a good method for people who hate grinding constantly).

[@MRSketch09]

Thanks for the vid. This is definitely a good place for humanity with that ring... If only I could beat the grave lord so that bonfire would activate right next to this area..ugh. But then again I suppose that's like asking gave lord not to spam sword dance.

[@footbroke]

Thanks because my save is currently right before the for gate in that room. Now I can back to my game and farm.

[@ItzMalevolence]

You can get approximately 200k souls per 10 minutes in ng+ in the painted world of ariamis by farming the phalanx guys. Wear the covetous silver serpent ring and the symbol of avarice. 1500 or so souls per kill. About 21k souls off the phalanx guys. 3k off the 3 undead by the door. If you have the Dragon Greataxe (that comes from the tail of the gaping dragon) fully upgraded, one well placed swing will kill every phalanx. 21k souls per swing. Bonfire just outside, easy repeat.

[@MotoErgoSum]

Using Wrath on the spear blobbies in Painted reaps 20,000 every run in NG+ (~1-2 minutes). Following this tutorial, it actually takes MUCH longer to harvest souls than this guy says. I don't know if From changed the drop rate or souls the baby skeletons drop, but it's taken me several hours just to get a couple hundred thousand souls in there, and that was wearing both the Symbol of Avarice and the ring.

[@BljesakiOluja]

It's a nice location, since you can farm humanity as well, but I preffer the Darkroot Garden and the bandits that reside within. There are 4 of them, 3 give you 6k souls, 1 gives you 3k, if you put the Covetus Serpent Silver Ring, it goes up to 7.2k per bandit, if you wear the Symbol of Avarice, it grows even more, and it only takes you 1 to 1.5 minutes to clear them and return to bonfire. So it's over 25k souls every 1.5 minutes, times 40 attempts in 1 hour = 1.040.000 souls per hour.

[@Joma190]

red mist appears in the cave-ish part at 5:49... ''Sealed by the Great Lord's Power'' *facepalms* and my journey was over:P

[@lincolnrayes6464]

If you have the DLC, a really good farming place for Humanity is the Humanity Wisps in the Caverns before the big boss after Artorias, higher chance at dropping humanity and get about 5-10 per run And they a relatively easy to kill

[@alpolo007]

For later game farming the best (or perhaps second best after this video) is going to the painting place from Anor Londo. After a while even the garden doesn't cut it anymore.

[@nicolemckenzie08]

I agree with Hollywoodx21x, you navigated this place quite amazingly. Even after my like 30 deaths in this awful place, I don't think I'd navigate it as well.

[@ashknights170]

very nice vid, i wont be able to do it just yet to low lvl but its still good to know thanks

[@squirtkenny]

Another Method of soul Farming (and this is if you dont have a new game + or if you do) Go to the Painting in Anor Londo and there will be a statue with blob demons that have spears, use any crowd control attack (I personally use Chaos Storm) and run back to the bonfire and this is really quick and can gain fast levels

[@paualamar]

Perfectly explained, thank you. I thought they where infinite, thanks for the video. Im definetly going to farm there tomorrow. (Edited) BTW. Do they stop generating after killing Nito?

[@Speedy-Rabbit]

I posted the comment by accident, so here is the continuation. Not every game needs multiplayer to be good. They are currently making a elder scrolls MMORPG, but i don't think they should. Skyrim is single player and it should be. Dark Souls is great and has a great multiplayer, really original. I love both games too, they both have stuff the others dont

[@Guardians3]

you are the greatest person EBA!!!!

[@3DollarsTooShort]

Very cool I for one couldn't do that I usually go to sens and help out and invade the forest if successful you get a lot more souls while being interactive with other people online!

[@manupainkiller]

this is nice ! to level up a little more i farmed in the beginning a lot in darkroot garden (stone giants-easy to kill with raw longsword and shield) and then i found that in painted world of ariamis it's nice to farm (especially if you are low level,it even works with those 3 zombies at the gates),but the phalanx is awesome...it's like 30 seconds max to kill phalanx,5 000 k souls and is 10 seconds away from the bonfire (phalanx can be easily killed by encircle them until you can reach their backs,they die very easy,even with +5 raw longsword,but black knight's sword is much better)-here you can reach level 90 very easy.

[@tobs001]

That happened to me on my first playthrough too!! Literally took me 3 days to claw my way back out! Was lost in the dark for soooo long.

[@hunterwebster862]

best place to farm painted world blobs with spears and sheild 100000 souls every 10 mins for me

[@pinkiepie6443]

I dont like those guys because they always stab me too much.

[@Battlehammer333]

Pinkie Pie just get them to turn in your direction and then run around the whole group. They're way too slow to turn with you so you can easily kill them from behind. If they made their way around and start stabbing you again, just repeat and make another turn around them.

[@TheJusjay666]

Thx i been using the Cat Covenant guards for farming after getting seriously bored i tried the blobs was alot faster and easier and got more souls from them. ran around them with lock on threw 4 chaos fireballs as i ran only leave 3 or 4 for a fast stab job done so thanks.

[@hunterwebster862]

no prob man easiest way to make new pvp builds

[@stopcallingmegothic]

Fire storm spells are best for this area

[@1demonowl]

If you have a "sunlight maggot" helm, then you can skip using a skull lantern or using the cast light spell. Nice vid btw. Thanx.

[@jdavidson091]

^ this is the best way I've found so far, too. Get that firestorm pyromancy spell thing and level it up a bit so it can 1 cast annihilate them. ~9000 souls ever 30 seconds, 5 minutes gets you 90,000 souls. Almost broken

[@DrCrowtron]

You can replay the game perpetually. I think someone determined that leveling is capped at 740 or so. I played it through three times, and each time the the stats for the baddies increased.

[@Tremblay343]

It's not queelag's furysword it's the great scythe. You get it in the catacombs right before pinwheel off the last respawn guy. Where he falls down into that big chasm and those rolling dudes start chasing him. It's in the room on the exact opposite side of the boss chamber.

[@akblabla]

up to 10 increases item find and up to 20 massively increases curse resist. Otherwise it increases defenses all the way up to 100 by a bit I usually always play with 10 humanity on as it makes so that when you lose them maybe after a hour or two of play you will atleast have gotten 10-15 extra humanity because of the increased item find.

[@MrItalianmustard]

Quelaag's Furysword. Take a curved sword +10 (scimitar is fine) and the Soul of Quelaag to the derpsmith in Anor Londo.

[@AureliCross]

+15 Pyromancy Flame/+5 Ascended Flame + Great Chaos Fireball + Crown of Dusk + Bellowing Sorcerer Ring = Dead Skelly Dogs

[@timmoneter]

I like your voice. It's soothing

[@contrxl5532]

this was a great tutorial, you should make more

[@HiddenWen]

Also don't forget to equip the silver serpent ring found within tomb of the giants. Will add an additional 20% soul gain.

[@DerekHighet]

I found that the best you can do to counter this is by killing the skeletons as fast as possible, in order to minimize the amount of them that are currently spawned, and after its dead, just go over on top of the dead one and spam pick up. Use a weapon like a halberd (or something that isn't a sweeping attack) so that they don't get to spread out. It's not perfect, but I found doing this helped a lot with missing Humanity.

[@mrsun9775]

Great video !

[@pjbogart1]

If you're playing an intelligence build, you can farm souls even faster from the second bonfire in the tomb of giants. Basically, you're just killing five monsters over and over but they're high souls, especially if you use the covetous silver serpent ring. Just run out from the bonfire, kill the skeletal dog and giant skeleton, run down the path and there are three more skeletal dogs. It literally takes a minute or so if you've got crystal soul spears and depending on your playthrough is worth almost 20k souls. Yeah, every minute or two. Unfortunately, if you're playing a strength or dex build this doesn't work so well because those skeletal dogs can chew you up, especially three at a time. But with an intelligence build they never even attack, just crystal spear them as soon as you can lock on. One hit kills.

[@GreatYamatanoOrochi]

This is a good source of souls, another 2 sources for farming: - Painted world of Ariamis, the phalanx are easily killable with pyromancy's Firestorm/Chaos Firestorm and give a LOT of gold if your pyromancy flame is strong enough to overkill them for additonal souls - Again, Tomb of the Giants, the dogs after 2nd bonfire (closest to Nito) can be farmed with a strong oneshot weapon or, again, chaos pyromancy. The rate is (I think) better than your method. Anyway, good video fam.

[@DrCrowtron]

+GreatYamatanoOrochi Alternatives presented with class!

[@Chrome_Flux]

I've been doing the phalanx method, gets 8100 souls without the covetous silver serpent ring in about 30 seconds. i've farmed up to a million in 2 and a half hours Edit: not new game +

[@nocumentum1806]

How about the Painted World farming method? Just use Fire/Chaos Storm and/or any large weapon, such as a Great Scythe or Halberd, the Homeward miracle (if you have enough faith), and a Symbol of Avarice. In NG+, I average around 18k Souls in less than 1 minute, making it take just over 5 minutes to get 100k souls in NG+, not even considering other NG+ difficulties, which this strategy in the video doesn't scale with NG+, making farming the Painted World far more effective.

[@harleydakota9163]

What do you kill there?

[@Koj4]

I think its those pink guys with spears and shields. They drop quite a lot of souls.

[@MightyBatmantis]

I do basically the same thing but with the Symbol of Avarice headgear instead of the Silver Serpent ring because it gives both bonus souls and increases your drop rate. With the health gained from the Ring of the Evil Eye the health drain for the headgear is quite negligible.

[@autensilnamedfork1599]

There's a faster way to get to Nito than that. Run up to the archer skeleton that comes after the first skeletal dog thing and walk of the ledge where the body is. Run pass the corpse towers walk off the ledge closest to the wall walk off the ledge again and then you're on the path to the open Nito area

Theres a path that hugs the cavern wall near where you meet Patches. Folowing that will lead you to near the Pinwheel Boss arena. From there theres a path to escape near the ladder you climb after defeating Pinwheel.

You can still farm the npcs in forest(door that is glowing after the 1st blacksmith) run a big circle stand to the right on stairs near the edge cliff. Nets about 7k souls in a 1 minute if the NPCs don't go dumb.
