It honestly wouldn't surprise me. Weird people hang around my (your) house (i.e. the Firelink Shrine) and they don't pay rent or nothing. They just squat (as ostensibly the Ashen One does). I mean, Sirris herself just pops in one day and decides to kick around on the steps. Having a Hollow jazz band decide they want to hold practice sessions in there would be par for the course (Undead like being near the First Flame as well).

[@MrNuclearz]

Kill the shrine maiden, Andre, or Fire keeper is pointless. The keeper respawns like nothing happened, Andre wont even talk to you anymore and the shrine maiden ups her prices. They drop no souls or items. Never kill them. It gives you literally nothing.

From what you said about the golden winged knight soul farming: You can get the most amount of souls possible by using: The Coveticus silver serpent ring +3 (found in the dreg heap) The sheild of want (found in smouldering lake) The symbol of Avarice (Dropped by mimics) and The Merdicant's staff (dropped by the werid serpent mages in archdragon peak) With these 4 items you can get about 50,000 souls per winged knight. To make farming easier you can buy the spell Raport (Bought from Karla) to make 2 winged knights fight while you backstab the last one.

HINT: you can Respecc infinitely by relocating your stats then immediately f4 out when you go back to the menu that pops up when you talk to Rosaria. DO NOT back out of that menu once you respecc, it will not work and you will still use 1 of the 5 chances. Very useful to those wanting to test out weapons or who are not sure about their build. Tip: I highly HIGHLY recommend you complete covenants and ranking up in your early build...for some covenants (those fucking Darkmoons) it becomes very rare to be summoned for items I would recommend: Mad Spirits: Early game Watchdogs: Early game Sunbros: Early to Mid game (I recommend Rotwood) Blue Sents/BoTDM: Early to Mid game Aldrich Faithful: Mid game Red Phantoms: pretty much any point SoTC: End game (At the end of BoTDM once you got all items be sure to kill Yorshka for her chime)

Tips for farming those three fatties at the grand archives: -use rapport on one of the two and let them kill each other. use rapport on the third alone and keep backstabbing him. finish off whichever survives from the other two. fighting them is too slow and risky. -get the symbol of avarice (mimic chest Headwear). 50% more souls is seriously crazy (about 90% increase with SoW and Serpent ring). u can farm the avarice with undead hunter charms. just find a mimic, throw charm (mimic opens mouth) and the mask will appear at some point. punch the mimic if it doesn't give u the mask to return it to its chest form and retoss the charm (try pontiff sullivan bonfire second floor of chapel for an easy mimic).

[@Jsuelieta]

You don't really have to kill half the NPCs in the game if you follow their quest lines. Buy all the miracles from the miracle lady and she'll become a fire keeper while Eygon's body can be found where she was originally with his loot on it, Sirris' loot can be found in the cemetery of ash just outside of Firelink if you follow her stuff to completion (can't do anything with Rosaria's Fingers until the princes are killed for this), What's-his-face that gets you the Red Eye Orb dies as part of a quest line anyway, Andre doesn't drop anything, summoning the lady from Londor for the final boss will result in her leaving her stuff where she stood after it's over but before NG+, ect.

[@vvesblack]

I know I'm late to the game, but I've found that farming the 3 Man-Serpents right next to the Archdragon Peak Bonfire yields better results for me. If you equip the Ring (no plus), the shield of want, the symbol of Avarice and the Merdicant's staff each Serpent drops around 3,700 souls. Basically get up from the bonfire and walk just a few feet towards the Serpent on your right. Aim at him with your staff, making sure to have the one further behind him in your aim, and use the crystal spear spell to one shot both at once. Then just turn to your left and one shot the other one. Once done turn around and sit down at the bonfire to start over. This method, in my option, is a far better conversion rate for souls. You will get around 11k souls in about 10 seconds. This adds up quickly. You can easily and safely make 1M souls in under 20 minutes of grinding.

[@OzziBogan]

The Drakeblood Knight NPC that respawns by the Dragon-kin Mausoleum bonfire that gets summoned by the man-serpent sorcerer after killing the Havel Knight, in my opinion; yields more souls per hour in your first playthrough (7500+ Souls if equipped with CSSR, SOA and SOW) just based on the fact that you don't have to return to a bonfire to respawn him everytime he is slain, only takes up to something like 6s for him to be summoned again. By this time of the game you should also already have majority of the Estus Shards throughout the game and should be able to get through a run without dying, just relying on Estus when your health is low or to prevent you getting one-shot by one of the Knights heavy or weapon art attacks. Even if you do die by the Knight or from the DoT effect of the SOA headpiece, it's only a legit 3s run to get your souls back. In the meantime you can stand behind his back on the first level of the mausoleum (to avoid being hit by the soul mass spells that the man-serpent sorcerer sends out) to get a quick and easy backstab with either a Chaos or Fire infused +10 dagger and finish him off with a +10 DEX or STR weapon that hits hard and quick. I usually use a combination of CSSR, Hornet Ring, Pontiff's Right Eye, and a mix between Chloranthy Ring, Flynn's Ring, or a ring the greatly improves M/S/P spells to enhance buffs. I can average over 1.5M souls in just under 45 mins, could probably be pushed to 2M if you kill the man-serpents around the mausoleum while you wait for the serpent sorcerer to summon the DB Knight. A bit longer of a run but it saves you from going insane doing the same thing over and over again.

[@Raezra]

You messed up a little, MOST of the covenant NPCs don't drop anything. The Darkmoon covenant lady actually drops the best Faith Catalyst in the game. Other than that this guide is pretty useful. Another great farming spot is to go to the second bonfire in Archdragon Peak, then kill the summon over and over again without killing the summoner lady. With the Silver Serpent Ring and the Shield of Want you get around 5,000 Souls every time you kill him, and if you are very strong you can kill him in around 10 seconds just backstab, heavy attack, light attack. Him getting summoned again takes like 15 seconds too so I'll have to time myself, but If you keep dying to the angel knights this is another option.

[@vinicius401]

Charzar There is one spot that is better than this one. The lothric castle bonfire. You kill the lothric knight at the right and rest. It is a lot faster to gather souls as you don't have to wait those 15 seconds for the respawn. The ammount of souls they drop is almost the same.

[@NKB_POE]

I always grin at that place Kin Mausolemoum or something rite?just use R2 from behind as the spawn,repeat over and over,easy no sweat :)

[@proximityclockworkx1572]

I think I kinda optimized farming those 3 bigbois at the top of the Archives. Symbol of Avarice, (LH1)Shield of Want, (LH2) Pyromancer Flame, (RH1) Dark Dagger, (RH2) Mendicant's staff, Hornet Ring, Dark Clutch Ring, Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +3 1. Run up to the first narrow staircase and turn left. Stop when you ran past the entrance to the rafters (where you can drop down for the Divine Pillars of Light miracle). This way, only one of the knights will aggro you, the other two will just chill. 2. As the first knight starts falling, starting the casting animation for Rapport, and don't be too close, otherwise the knight will cancel it, and try to free aim it at where it will land. 3. Depending on your stats, the Dagger will 2-3 shot it with backstabs. Now, as soon as you know you landed the final blow, switch to the Mendicant's staff and Shield of Want, if you haven't already. 4. Do the same rapport backstab with the other two as well. If you're quick enough, you can rapport the halberd knight before the twinaxe one walked out of it's aggro range, leaving you only one to take care of. 5. Use Homeward / Coiled Sword Fragment and repeat as much as you need to. Every knight should yield around 37K souls, netting you around 121K souls per run.

[@patrickfleck1248]

there are 40 transposable items- you missed Rosaria's soul which gives you a miracle if you decide to transpose it instead of reviving her with it.

[@drewastuart]

As for the soul farming, I found that if you spawn at the 2nd bonfire in Arch-dragon Peak, you can repeatedly backstab and kill the knight that spawns in from the caster upstairs. If you equip soul boosting items like the Shield of Want, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, and the Symbol of Avarice, you can boost the amount of souls you get too! Guaranteed 7,000 souls every 30 seconds, and no need to run back to the bonfire either, since he spawns in the same place each time, you hardly have to move.

You don't have to kill the giant at the tower. If you collect all the white branches from all of the white birch trees from all over the game world. He will die him self and drop the ring.

[@husseinmansour4378]

What ring?

[@bio0link]

hussein ali Hawk Ring. It extends arrow "distance". This is misleading because it sounds like crap but by distance it means the distance scaling. Arrows don't go farther at least from what i have noticed, but they keep there damage for farther distances. The farther the arrow travels the less damage it does this ring helps nullify some of the damage lost by distance.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Any other tips to make bows not utterly shit and pointless?

[@tdhhellian7509]

I just wanna add that when you're farming for souls against the winged knights, it's best if you start from lothric bonfire. You need three rings on for the grinding. Serpent ring +3, slumbering dragon crest ring, and hornet ring. Put on the shield of want, and if you have it, the mendicant staff. Use throwing knives to get the lothric night at the back of the formation to come fight you alone. Crit him to death. Each knight will drop around 11000 souls each with all your soul sucking items. (The mendicant staff can be found on the champion summoning dragon witches in the Archdragon peak area and it also boosts soul consumption) Sneak up on all the enemies down the Lothric stairway selectively to avoid a hoarde. Dealing with the knights first is the best way to avoid this problem. By the time you hit the end of the stairs, you should have around 45000 souls. Make your way to the winged kights. Instead of tricking them down the stairs, sprint to the furthest knight away from you. When they drop down the twin axe knight starts a patrol in the oppisite direction and the second halberd knight will stay stationary with his back to you. The one you sprinted to will drop down with his back to you as well, letting you get a headstart with a backstab. If you don't have quiet footsteps he will immediately turn to you and attack which sometimes alerts the other halberd knight to come investigate. It's best to take out the furthest one first because you can choose whichever ones are left to fight next. The twin axe knight wont reach you until well after you've killed the first one meaning they will all be separate from.one another at all times. If you're quick with taking them out with easy backstsbs and managed to conserve your estus on the way down the stairs, you can wear the symbol of avarice as well while you fight them. Keep the mendicant staff in your second weapon slot so you can swap to it the second you kill one. With this tactic each winged knight will earn you 31000 souls each instead of 17000. From the Twin Princes bonfire to the golden knights, you will net nearly a whopping 150,000 souls. I do this with my level 300 character. He requires 500,000 souls per level up. I can get him 1million souls in under 40 minutes by doing this. Since im on NG5 with him I usually net 400,000 souls every time I do this.

[@Crashed131963]

Try farming the 3 gold wing nights with the Pyro "Rapport" The first two kill each other quick or the winner is almost dead. The last knight you sneak up and lock him as your ally and just hack away until it drops in 4-5 swings with a +10 sword . 51,000 souls very quick.

I am sure very many people said it before but: DONT KILL THE SHRINEHANDMAID!!!! THE PRICES WILL BE DOUBLED FOR THE CHAR FOREVER! Besides of that it is a very good list. Thank you.

[@IsraelMedrano]

I know I'm very late, but the best late game soul farming (strength buil recommended) is at the Dragon-Kin Mausoleum bonfire where the knights get spawned by the man serpant wizzard guy. With the Covetous Silver Serpant Ring +3, Shield of Want, and Symbol of Avarice equipped along with a heavy weapon - I found the Drangonslayer Greataxe +5, or the Heavy Greatsword aka Guts, work the best for all it takes is a back stab and a charged heavy (at 55 strength) to kill each one - it takes about 21 seconds at 9,720 souls per kill. That's approximately 100k in about 3 and a half minutes.

[@Butcher_Of_The_Sands]

Oooooor you can just fuck everything up and go NG+ right after killing the end boss

[@SunBro_Talos]

That's what I did on my second and third characters lmao you get so many more souls in ng+ than in ng it's pretty unbalanced

[@Butcher_Of_The_Sands]

Solaire The Bae - Gaming Tutorials and Let's Plays the only problm is i wanted the combined lothric holy sword thing, but i did not take any boss weapons into NG+ :( now i have to wait for NG+2 in order to get my sword

[@JustSilverCh]

+x RaSoR pretty sure you can transpose as long as you have the soul. just gotta kill the tree

[@Butcher_Of_The_Sands]

Alan Trough thats right but this boss weapon requires two souls of prince lothric

[@JustSilverCh]

+x RaSor but you should still have two souls, either way you need ng+. i may be misunderstanding you. you can have multiple boss souls and they carry over so you should be able to make Lorian and Lothrics sword and if you have both its a separate option to combine them.

[@koryanderson9133]

Very helpful video. Thanks P.S - that cool jazz in the background was perfect.. 😌

[@christiancunningham8899]

love the elevator music

[@quintazz5664]

With the winged knights it is possible to get 30 k from each knight and if ur good at it and use a certain strategy you get 90 k each 1.30 minutes u need the dark spell rapport from Karla You need mendicants staff - shield of want - symbol of avarice and silver serpent ring equiped

[@googleyoutubeaccount]

\[T]/ Praise the Sun!

[@TheAnanaki]

Equip the Shield of Want and Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, Lloyds Sword Ring and Hornet Ring. Head to the Great Belfrey and farm the Drakeblood Knight that constantly respawns. He's worth 5280 souls every 25 seconds. Backstab him and he should only require one additional hit to kill, depending on weapon used and build. 15,000 souls in just over a minute with no effort, no risk. I use a Greatsword+10 STR 40 DEX 25. PS - Position yourself a little to the right when backstabbing him so he gets knocked down in between the Dragon statue and the staircase. He has a tendency to be quick to roll out of the backstab and his sword does major damage. This boxes him in giving him no means of dodging the follow up attack without rolling off a ledge.

[@Pandamonious13]

You'll want to find all of the mimics as well, so that you get the Symbol of Avarice

[@johnbauer7658]

+TimelordPandamonious and using the undead hunter charm counts as "killing" it which makes farming for it a lot easier.

[@UmbrellaCorpTeam]

+TimelordPandamonious you dont get the symbol for killing them all its a % drop of any of them.

[@tymcsian]

+UmbrellaCorpTeam in ds3 it's a 100% drop after killing every mimic if it hasn't already dropped for you by chance.

[@MrTornado61]

The Symbol of Avarice is a rare drop I got it only in NG+

[@tymcsian]

It's a 100% drop.....you missed a mimic man. It's confirmed

[@HonkzeeBeezs]

I just wanted to say that I love the music choice you went with. very classy

[@proximityclockworkx1572]

You could also just collect all white tree branches, the Saint-Tree Bellvine, the Crown of Dusk, and the undead bone shard near the first white tree, and the giant passes away (for unknown reasons), so you don't need to kill him. You also don't need to kill the NPCs in Firelink Shrine, unless you feeling edgy and roleplaying as a dickwraith.

[@legitname8567]

Tfw you hear screaming from within the shrine and then the ashen one goes up to you wanting to buy all of your inventory

[@bhashwatshrivastava5949]

Don't you think the fire keeper is really beautiful before you kill?? I mean, my heart breaks when I think about killing her

[@vbes5454]

the most usefull ds3 video i've ever watch, thanks

[@5ivestarent43]

My jaw dropped anime style I never knew you could trade with crows 🤣

[@nerobiblios4086]

To anyone watching this recently, there is no need to kill the NPCs who have quests since by the end of those quests they usually die one way or another, and if you do kill them before concluding their quests you'll get LESS stuff. There is also no tangible reason to kill Andre, the Shrine Handmaiden or the Fire Keeper.

[@MrRandom400]

Ng+ is a joke in dark souls 3, easier than first play through

[@fighter2013pl]

+MrRandom400 Exactly. It's much more fun to start from a scratch.

its been the same since ds1 (never played demon souls)

+David Bowie-Sama-Senpai-Sensei-San-Sama...-kun i mean the dark moon covenant item that let's you be one.

[@BigSweetC]

with an item discovery of 250+ they can be farmed fairly commonly from the dark knights in anor londo

[@CatManDoom84]

good vid! dont know if anyone else has pointed it out yet, but on top of your late game souls farming area i also go out to the left after you go up the elevator and use a white summon to get in and help kill the 3 dudes in that courtyard (where you get the twin katana drop) they are super easy and will net you around 40k souls i believe. THEN ill lead the co-opers up to the 3 winged knights. rinse and repeat. good million souls in 30-45 min

[@DemoIn]

helm of favor is my favorite boss armor : ^)

[@hattedgamer.1411]

but but but it's not a boss... IT'S JUST ANNOYING

[@Mr3w]

[@itsv7710]

HATTED GAMER. It is a boss in dark souls 1

[@bretmclennan2147]

Its V No its not. Its worn by Knight Lautrec. He’s an npc

[@RagingMagikarp]

Better soul farm is the infinite re spawning knight loop at dragon peak. If you use the hornet ring, serpent ring of +3 (ring city), and the mimic helmet (can drop from mimic by undead hunter charm and then kill it), and shield of want (smoldering lake). It yields 10k per kill so roughly 60-80k per minute. Basically back stab the knights and then fully charge a heavy attack and it should die. Rinse and repeat and you can farm as long as you like.

[@Capta1nAsh]

i found farming for Covenant items were easy in NG

[@Capta1nAsh]

that and high level Farron watchdogs. The Auldrich Faithful/Moundmakers were easy enough

[@cowaiisheep3451]

I found this on another video, but another way to get a lot of souls is to use 2 shield of wants, rapport and symbol of avarice. First, you need to make the winged nights fall down and then run away from them quickly. When they don’t see you, equip symbol of avarice, use rapport when they don’t see you, when they start attacking each other you need to equip both shields and then you will get around 40 thousand souls per winged knight! When one dies then hopefully the other winged knight will be weak enough to finish off. Happy farming!

[@ja-si]

since you forgot, so, #16: repair your broken controller

[@toasterplays3060]

When doing the Winged Knight farming, you can also use a Symbol of Avarice (if you didn't get one as a random drop off a mimic, you can use Undead Hunter's Charms to make them sleep and loot them) and get an extra 50% souls, and higher item drop (for more chance to get chunks. Chunks equate to more souls if you sell, or obviously more upgrade equipment)

[@REEMIKS]

If you kill Andre and the handmaid do they raise their prices in NG+? If so it seems so unnecessary. I wouldn't recommend it.

[@gordi3]

If you start NG+ the prices will go back to default. Also you can pay in the undead settlement to lose your sin and that also sets the price increase back to default.

[@picklepum_the_crow5001]

+REEMIKS i do not get why killing the NPC, you can their armor by doing their quest (Sirris, Morne, the pyro , even the firekeeper)

[@REEMIKS]

Sandra Mousse yes you can basically get everything without killing anyone.

[@PVWNSVCR1F1C3]

+Sandra Mousse well if your going in to new game then your probably unable to finish a good amount of character quest lines.

[@MrTornado61]

I agreed I did what he said and paches is not ther in the NG+ That was just retarded and when the Pilgrim dies the girl is not there either I dont know why.

[@BeaDSM]

I like the music choice and the video in general, but I'm not sure it's as helpful as it could be. For example, killing Leonhardt before getting the red eye orb using the lift key he gives you results in it being replaced with a pale tongue, meaning you can't get it until NG+. A checklist of things to do before NG+ should contain all the questlines that can still be done after killing the final boss (like Leonhardt's), since players may have missed them before and now is their final chance to do them before starting journey 2.

[@HankJ666]

helm of favor "I dont even know wich boss does the helm represent" Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude did you even played Dark souls 1?

[@ManofNoConsequence]

+HankJ666 Pretty sure he meant how he got the armor set to appear in Firelink (Collecting the FaP ring from one of Sulvayn's Beasts)

[@berosar]

use shield of want, the ring and the symbol of avarice to farm 91k from the 3 gargoyles. you can use the cleric stick thingie for another 20%. all these items stack on each otehr

[@roundandedgeless.1218]

you can alt f4 as soon as you respec to be able to do it infinitely your welcome lol

[@keeroogaming2265]

For late game soul farming you can easily make 95 K souls in 2 min in that location, without even fighting all of the 3 winged guys. To get 95 K souls out of them, you need the shield of want, silver serpent ring +3 and the mimic helmet. So you will get 95 K of souls each run. You can also use pyromancy on them and charm them. Charm the first and he will fight the 2nd guy. The one that survives the fight will only have a bit of health left and be an easy kill. If you struggle with them at all, you can also charm the 3rd guy and kill him without him fighting back. If you are on NG+ you can also use 1 shield of want in every hand and get something like 150 K souls in 2 min.

[@ronaldg7522]

You monster...

[@bartek6158]

Exactly what i needed for a week

[@declangames9038]

I feel you get more souls just by doing ng, and more entertainment

[@hanzobi1926]

For a easy way to farm the 3 Fat Wing enemies use "Rapport" which is a Pyromancy spell. Alert them and back off and then Hit one with the spell, both will attack each other, so you can run around to the next one. Use the spell on the other one and go around to were the other two was before. One will be dead most times and other will have nearly it's life gone. Just sneak up and repeat the spell and rinse and repeat the whole process. I managed to grab over 1 million souls in a hour using the Covetous Ring, Avarice and Shield of Want on NG.

[@fokkenlost1490]

PLS IM IN LOVE WITH THE BACKGROUNDMUSIC, sry for the caps, but... PLS GIFF NAME!!!

[@procyon6445]

Actually you can do the winged knights a lot easier. Get a high damage weapon for backstabs, hornet ring and as soon as you get to that spot run left so that you're next to the knight that drops down farther from the others backstab him and then at that point the winged knight with the twinaxes should be starting to patrol around the tower so take out the other one without aggroing the patrolling one and then meet him to the left when he's circling back. They are incredibly vulnerable to backstabs since a lot of their moves can just be sprinted around for an easy backstab.

[@procyon6445]

Also use the symbol of avarice it helps a lot.

[@halex5405]

[@johnrhodes3487]

If you run to the right of the stairs (fighting winged knights) the axe one pulls easy over. Kill him where you have space, pull second one beside him with halberd. Run to the right around the dome, backstab the third and then stunlock/cheese him. Easy 50-60k souls w/ shield of want and cssr I refuse to kill the giant. That guy saved me my first play through a lot at cathedral and UD settlement. I gotta start Ng+ today because I got yhorms machete instead of shield like an idiot. Learned that vigor needs to be 40-50, armor in 4 slots (havels vs cloth is one more hit so armor isn’t worth tons of vitality, and a good shield is what stops dmg in its tracks (vitality IS needed to carry heavy shields/weapons).

[@kokkiemonster6939]

I can't watch the video :c

[@mirageiii3176]

I know this video is old, but the winged knights farming can be made trivial with Rapport and good positioning. With all the soul increasing items including the silver serpent ring +3, you can get 113,000 souls in 2 minutes in NG.
