Dark Souls III - Farming Proof of a Concord Kept & 3.5M Souls/Hour [NG++]

  • An efficient way to get Proof of a Concord Kept and massive amounts of souls.
    Feel free to drop any questions and I'll reply as soon as possible!
    EDIT: As one of the viewers pointed out, killing the third one is more efficient. Here's my data using a bleed build with time including buffing.
    Killing two knights running back: 32 seconds
    Killing three knights running back: 53 seconds
    Killing three knights warping back: 50 seconds (PC on a 7200 RPM, 64MB cache HDD, will be way, way faster on an SSD, will be much slower on a console)
    The time it takes to load maps is roughly twice as fast on an SSD.
    With this method you'll gain over 4M souls/h which is absolutely insane.

      I got so many of each piece of armor, that in each armor tab I could have the whole page be just silver knight gear, just from farming enough for 5 proof of concords. FUCKING FIVE! Took well over 10 fucking hours of total grinding to finish! I am NEVER gonna try to get Darkmoon Blade on any other character. Oh, and the titanite they drop? Almost always regular shards, with the occasional large shard, which should be pouring outta your ears at this point anyways. Even with all the item discovery gear, there were still plenty of silver knights that didnt drop anything, and since each run tends to drag due to having to run up and down the fucking staircase, it easily becomes an unpleasant experience. I am now completely sick of being in Anor Londo.
      Don't get me started on Vertebra Shackles. 20 runs and only 3 titanite drops and some Carthus Rogue, with over 350 item discovery. Annoying as fuck loop too. Just gonna get em over time from NG+ cycles that way I am actually having fun. Not gonna torture myself with that shit, already did for Darkmoon Blade. Makes me wish that summoning Holy Knight Hodrick yourself could net you shackles. The spell you get from it isn't even any good, I just need it for the achievement.
      Now, compare that to sunlight medals, in about 40 minutes I got over 20 medals, the lothric castle bonfire puts you in a good grinding spot and is an easy reset, can easily do like 5 runs per coin crush depending on your setup. The drop rate for medals isn't fucking abysmal, its low but still high enough that you could, if you so desired, not use all the item discovery gear and still not have a miserable time. The knight also drops his gear with decent frequency, your armor tab will get just as filled but with far less kills. Titanite drops are better, you can easily get chunks out of this, ya know, the one thing a player will be constantly scrounging for to upgrade all of their favorite weapons to +9 before deciding if they are good enough to warrant a slab.

      Oh, you may experience you being less successful invading, then. Because most people seem to stay at 120-125 and using the invasion formula for matchmaking you'll be able to invade players in the level range: 139 - 189.

      That happened to me too. I filled my inv with shards three times before getting all 24 Proof I needed and it took around 8h. Make sure you have over 400 item discovery and keep praying to the RNG. It's extremely inconsistent with low drop rates.

  • @Skelegoblin
    @Skelegoblin 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Whenever you measure something by Gains per Time (souls per hour here) you have to remember that time is a resource as well. It’s probably worth maxing out your stacks of homeward bones to reset quickly as the gains vastly outweigh the 500 soul cost of bones, meaning that each run will have the soul yield reduces by 500 but you will have more runs in the same amount of time

    • @Veginite
      @Veginite  2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Coiled sword fragment is an infinite homeward bone so no reason to buy and use those over the fragment. I bring this up in the improved video I have but TH-cam's algorithm doesn't want to promote that one, unfortunately.

  • @ENStenson
    @ENStenson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    This is a good method if you plan on accomplishing 2 things at once, I've always just farmed the winged knights at the grand archives for souls, each run takes 1.23 minutes(sometimes but rarely 5 seconds more), yields 225,000 souls a run = 13,500,00 souls an hour giving the fact you have silver serpent +3, shield of want, Avarice, and medicants staff. Each knight drops 75,000 souls in NG++. In NG+++ they only give 5k more a piece...not really worth it imo

    A more efficient method is to use hidden body and a Fume Knight Ultra Greatsword and charge R2 them and finish them off with a regular R2. With hidden body the knights don't agro and so you can just walk up to them and hit them. I respec'd my stats to 40 luck, 50 strength and 15 intelligence, (for hidden body) or you can use the ring that gives +5 intelligence. Ring set-up is Sage ring+2, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring+2, Lingering Dragoncrest Ring+2 and 4th whatever, maybe use Silver Serpent Ring if you want souls? Of course also wear the Mimic head, use Crystal Sage Rapier in off hand if you can and buy Rusted Coins from Patches. It still took me about 10-12 hours in total i think. It's also worth having the covenant item on just in case you get summoned. I earned about 5 on PS4 from online over the course of the farming.

      Could you do like 5 runs with no mistakes and report the average time of a run i.e starting from the bonfire, killing the knights (in my new video I show killing three knights grant way more souls/hour, 4.2-4.5M) to warping/sitting down and getting up? For me, an entire run killing all three knights and warping back takes just about 50 seconds. Could you also add the time it takes to load the map if you're warping? I'll happily add it in the description for those who don't want to/cannot respec (:

    A better soul farming method is the lothric knight at the lothric castle bonfire he gives the same amount of souls as one of these guys (I think) and it's a way way faster run. Takes about 10 seconds each run if you 2 shot him with spell casting. He also drops embers and chunks pretty consistently only issue is he doesn't drop proofs. Only sunlight medals which are easy to get with co op anyway.

    You could kill the silver knight captain to make it 3 in one run and if you have the DLC you can use the covetous gold serpent ring + 3.

      I made a luck bleed build with 60 luck and because you only get +1 item discovery per level it shouldn't make a significant difference. I have made a video on it, you can find it on my channel as well as a link in an annotation in the beginning of this video. The bleed build grants much more souls per hour. According to the wikia item discovery works as a multiplier. If you have 549 item discovery which is the max and let's say a Silver Knight has a 1/50 of dropping a Proof of a Concord Kept with base item discovery. Your new chance will be 5.49/50 = 11% (with only 1 Rapier), compared to 3.1/50 = 6.2% in this video. The difference is indeed almost 1.77x, so if you wanna be reborn at Rosaria's just for this, by all means go ahead. I'd rather save my points as I don't want to go above NG++ to alter my build if I run out of rebirth points.

Because the drop rate is so low, it'll always be inconsistent. I spent one hour in my new video and got 11 drops, the next hour I received 5 drops.
