First off, sorry about the video quality. My capture card only deals in composite cables and hd cards aren't practical for me at the moment.
This video shows my strategy to get to Nito's area fast from Firelink Shrine. It is in this area that you can farm 1 million souls+ every 2.5 hours (roughly 100k souls per 15 minutes) in new game+. Results vary in other game levels, but the method works in all of them. If you have Kingseeker Frampt on your side you can score an additional 99k by feeding him souls from the humanity drops alone. Hope this is helpful!
*Also, there are more than enough videos out there for people start e-wars on. I have decided to edit comments to keep them constructive and useful. - เกม

I'm not addicted, I can quit any time I want... (gently pets controller)
Oh yeah? You still playing this game 10 years later
Having such a bad quality video with so many thumbs up....rare to see these days. But the content is just too good you forget about all of this,
+petepiaire I don't think I could have asked for a nicer comment. In a twist on things, I now have a playthrough of DSIII ongoing on my channel; this time much better quality video, the connect... well, let me know how it works out. Thanks again!
I really liked your commentary, your voice isn't bad to listen to, i was planning on seeing what you had nowadays after the video was done. So i'll go check out those vids and see how it is and come back and report :)
Alright, after watching the first video you have of the let's play of DSIII, my conclusion is
1. There are youtubers that play a game and have viewers that only come for the game, and there're those that have a fanbase that doesn't care what game they play and come for their personality. I'd say you're half and half right now. you have a lot of potential to have great commentary, but i feel it mostly consists of lackluster "oh i'm doing this now, Rawr killed a guy, ah stupid bich hit me." type of stuff. Make the commentary about a subject while you're playing the game and people will want to stick around longer. A perfect example of this is +TheUrbanOrb he's heralded for his dark souls skills but at the same time people watch his videos of his playthrough in NG7 because his commentary is top tier. always has thoughts about something, and the way he explains his thoughts is captivating.
2. alot of what i could say is about improvement. over time you'll improve and become better, and i realize that. But you might want to facilitate the way you and your channel grows. What i mean by that is you want to play a game because people know you for it. It helps grow a channel if they stick with a game they're known for. But at the same time sticking with a game and then switching halfway through at a point where people don't watch your videos for you is a problem. So what i'd suggest is, i see you have a few minecraft videos on your channel. Play dark souls mainly, or if you wish to, play minecraft mainly. But have a healthy amount of other stuff on your channel so that people know you're not always gonna be playing dark souls. it'll create a fanbase but at the same time you can probably switch at any time if you ever get popular.
Thanks for the suggestion and thoughtful critique! It is the first constructive suggestion I have received since attempting a series in earnest, and means a lot to me. I am going to give a couple things a go and see how they fit.
I know this is an old comment, but, this is an old video as well, even in relation to the comment.
The video was uploaded in 2011. At this point in TH-cams history, 720p was just becoming the standard for TH-cam videos. And they had just increased the video time limit from 10 minutes to *15* minutes the year before, for non partners. It was just normal for this quality of video at the time. While I agree the content is great enough to be worthy of so many views and thumbs up regardless of quality... I doubt it would be so well received if uploaded today, or even at the time of your comment.
@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.
You should put on that you require to have no fear to do this
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.
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
AydarBMSTU except that the mushroom parents in NG+ will nearly one shot you
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
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.
+MyZCube not safe farming technique? you surely don't praise the sun, my son
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.
This was a really great video! You were very concise, skipped when was necessary, and were informative. Great video.
I'm getting back into dark souls, restarting with the 1st. Thank you, this is really helpful.
Working on getting my setup in better shape so I can jump on TH-cam. I'm thinking a TH-cam 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.
overall i heard phalanx is quicker for exp souls, but the soul drops really do push this above it, thanks.
Ok but where you get that sword sweeping location ?
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)
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!
This is actually very useful to know as a first time player! Thanks for sharing.
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.
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
dude i loved this video so much i didnt even realice it had a bad quality, you are great keep it up!
Awesome thanks! I had to watch your walkthrough step by step cause that place is freaking dark! XD
Use the Symbol of Avarice and this will go even faster.
***** With the healing ring it makes sense.
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!
In 10 minuts 20 humanities.
@@dertoni9778 Not bad. Too bad I don't have the symbol of avarius on this save and I'm almost out of mimics lol
th-cam.com/video/PTdZpbWDYoI/w-d-xo.html
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.
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 :)
Great video Caspyrify! Please upload more tips. Thanks.
this is super sweet. fantastic job on the video.
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?
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!
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.
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
Your voice is oddly hypnotic and relaxing. Keep doing your thing.
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.
very nice vid, i wont be able to do it just yet to low lvl but its still good to know thanks
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
Great video, I might try this, how much are you getting per baby skeleton?
If you use the "Symbol of Avarice" Head gear you get a further 20% as it stacks with the Silver Serpent Ring. It eats your HP but if you have the "ring of the evil eye" you should be fine.
Plus if you can get "overkill" on them (do greater than 120% of the target's max HP in one attack.) then I think this will stack again so you would get a tripple soul bonus of 60%!
And hitting a million souls would be a lot faster!
Thank you very much for this, will try it out.
Great video !
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!!
Ty mate, thats very helpful. :) So hey what do those little dudes drop besides humanity?
+Fiachra Tighe nothing
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.
"Sealed by the great lord's power"
-flips everything-
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.
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.
"Recorded with a toaster"
Thanks for the heads-up. I fixed the mistake in the description.
I gotta say that the skull lantern you find in the giants tomb is also extremely effective against the dark gameplay
Quality video (despite the poor quality, which you acknowledged so no big deal) informative and definately a good method to get rich, thanks.
5:13 THIRD BONFIRE? OH SHIT. That would've saved so much time.
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+
It is the Quelaag Fury Sword, and is crafted from the material dropped by Quelaag (the big spider witch).
So I don't remember when the DLC came out, but how is Baby Skeleton Humanity farming compared to Humanity Sprite farming in the Abyss?
In Anor Londo's Castle when you've enough strenght to one-shot dragon guard and giants you can farm even more souls.
I'm on the first playthrough still, not quite on NG+ so can't confirm if it works or not, but I find that using the Ring of Fog on the Pinwheel clone area allows me to hug the left wall and jump across to them to melee before they become aggroed enough to land a hit. :)
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.
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
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.
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.
you are the greatest person EBA!!!!
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.
Omg. Massive! I'll remember that spot. Although I'll grind at Darkwood's Garden first. I want that Quelaag's Furysword too. Does it matter which curved sword I upgrade? And how much will it cost (for the upgrading) to get it to +10 ? And the cost for making that Furysword? What should +5 Furysword cost?
Sorry, I just don't understand that Wiki too well. :S
Hope you can help me. :D
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.
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.
Thanks because my save is currently right before the for gate in that room. Now I can back to my game and farm.
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
An awesome farming spot! The only problem with this area though is that if you don't pick up the humanity drop (almost immediately) it will disappear.
thanks man this is awesome
Very nice. Very helpful.
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.
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
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.
@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)
this was a great tutorial, you should make more
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.
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.
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 .
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!
Also, you don't have to find the symbol of avarice in the archive's, mimic's have a very low chance to drop them everywhere
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.
This is a GREAT way to stave off boredom while waiting for Co-op summons.
really good video helped alot.
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.
I regret so much for doing that, it took me 1 hour and a half to go back to the firelink
Get the lord vessel first so you can warp :P it's a life saver late game.
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 :)
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.
You rescue a sorcerer in the Lower Undead Burg using a key you purchase from the undead merchant in the undead burg. The mage returns to Firelink shrine adn will offer to sell you sorcery if you have high enough Int.
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
On your way to lower undead burg there is a mage locked in a house (shortly before capra demon boss fight)... free him and you can buy "fall control" from him at firelink shrine. I don't know if he sells "cast light" too. But isn't that a miracle?
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).
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.
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.
dam that sucks but thanks wait but what if u find them do they hav the same attack power or are they more powerfull?
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!
@Caspyrify Thanks. :D
But whats does ascension mean? :P
Thanks for the heads up!
I know this is an old video but if you buy firebombs, throwing knives, and wooden arrows from the merchant in the undead burg than you can sell them to frampts for more money.
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.
What is your class? Knight? Warrior?
What is the most balanced class to use? Pyromancer?
@Caspyrify im a noob but how do u get all those flasks cause when u kill the bell demons and go bak to firelink shrine through elevator u get that fire orb thing and how do u get the shadow gear and goos weapons
I had no idea there was a bonfire past the one near Patches until I watched this video.
The more you know.
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.
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.
Is your scythe chaos or fire? And to what upgraded extent?
How did you get fire damage on your scyth, or was that just charcoal pine resin
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.
I think this goes up with the humanity maximum of 99, but I am not sure about that. I think I read that the more points you have he weaker the effect gets, meaning the early humanitys are the strongest. Only curse I think gives you 10 more per humanity, meaning you can go pretty much afk at a boss like Seath :D
