This is true; though im not too fond of the fact. I guess that’s why I really loved Sekiro. You HAD to get mechanically good to beat the game, and even if you farmed experience to get skills, you still had to know when to apply those skills to a myriad of situations. No arbitrary “numbers game” advantage. Out of all of FromSoft’s games, Sekiro is the truest embodiment of “Git Gud”. That being said I do love dark souls. I’ll just never play it like a numbers game
Really worth mentioning; if you do skip the blade master before the adjudicator fight, move away from the fog door as soon as the boss' HP drops to zero, because if you don't, that son of a bitch bum rushes you from behind before you can get to the arch stone...
thanks for this man, I didn't kill the blade master because he's still too strong, I roll my ass towards the stairs to the right as soon as the boss died lol
Their is somthing so remarkable about the demon souls remake it looks absolutely next gen plays fantastic and makes me really want blue point to redo dark souls 1 or 2 with this games engine.
Great guide! Thank you!!! To anyone struggling with getting past enemies, (especially those two big guys outside the cave,) you can throw soul fragments to distract them, and then easily run around them.
So for your first play through. Killing the flying enemies in that last area is considered the best soul farming spot :) Check this video out at: th-cam.com/video/cpqRjbcKF8o/w-d-xo.html
@@tobi_versace you can return to the same area without going to the nexus. When I started playing I farmed the skeletons in 4-1 and I just went back to the archstone and selected 4-1 and it reset the area.
I ended up just farming the first reaper, going right from the pedestal thing, up the stairs to the second floor, hit the illusionary wall, kill the red eyed skeleton, get a pure bladestone in the process with the exp ring and you get like 10k souls every 5 mins probably less
No need to pick the hunter class. There are two powerful bows very early in 1-2 or 4-1. There are probably better options for starting class in general since you dont need a bow for 1-1
@@Actiontime70 yeah royalty os generally seen as the best starting class because you get a valuable ring, ad you start at sl 1 so you have more customizability than other classes. Temple Knight is arguably better for melee classes bexause there are less wasted points in magic stats. Starting gear barely matters at all
@@Actiontime70 For melee and bows, 4-1 is the way to go. The crescent falchion is on a ledge next to the first black skeleton. The compound longbow is on the top of the tower with the archer near the grey demon. Compound longbow is the best base bow in the game. Upgrade it to sticky even if you only use a small amount of dex. You may prefer the lava bow for non dex characters, but you can get this one right away and upgrade to lava if you want with the hard demon soul once you get a bow to +7 I prefer the falchion on most characters but there is also the crushing battlaxe at the top of the first tower across the bridge with rock throwers in 2-1. Use the chain lift to go up and kill the fat guy. In the bug tunnels of 2-2 there is a fire longsword. For faith builds there is a blessed mace in 5-1 in the area before the rats where you drop down. Its in a room with a crystal lizard and a blood bug. Falchion is the easiest and most worth the small amount of effort to get it.
Don't use arrows wait till your leveled up before you start using arrows and just use the royalty class with magic magic is cheaper because from the warden's in the tower of latria you can actually Farm Old Spice which will give you almost unlimited magic capacity meanwhile arrows cost a lot of Souls
@@AshenOneGaming oh it looks pretty tough from that boss fight that was shown.. perfect timing and perfect parries required.. Keep up the great work.. you make hard asf missions a walk in the park..

You didn’t even show the soul farming part. Are you saying the Storm King boss area becomes a farming spot after you beat him? The main point of the video was glossed over at the end.
A little late but you can snipe the second reaper right after getting past the skeletons on the bridge before the first shadowlurker with laser beams. He is right under the bridge to the side.
the storm king boss arena is a good soul farm if u get the "gloves" in latria that boost soul gain. u can farm the stingrays for easy souls just hide behind a rock.
Finally got round to playing this on the PS5, and this vid is just so good! Literally the easiest to follow guide I have found, and definitely makes the game easier to deal with when you can level up so quickly.
Very good! You can improve this even more, if you save Ostrava he will give you the telescope, you can go to Sparkly and exchange it for the MP recovery ring, if you are a mage, you will always have mana and you can cast infinite spell (with patience to recover the MP) so you won't need to spend it on arrows
Just buy a club off the undead vendor when you pass by him in 1-1. 500 souls and you'll make short work of the skeletons (3 hits, swings fast). Useable at SL1 for all starting classes except Royalty (1 STR short), but magic user can just use flame toss.
I think the reaper is the best place to farm. When you farm the reaper if you start running exactly when you spawn at the archstone you can get the stingray right before you turn around and go down to the reaper for an extra thousand or so souls. And of course you get even more souls if you are in female form and you wear the silver bracelets and the ring of Avarice. And one more thing you get even more souls if you get your world to pure black and then go do that with the ring on and the bracelets. And don't go back to the Nexus. To save time just run back up, and jump off the cliff, and then pick up your souls down by the reaper when you go back down. Rinse and repeat. When I farm in pure black with the ring and bracelets and get the stingray I get 22,298 souls every 40 seconds on NG+.
Yep exactly this. I have a video on my channel where I show off two new farming spots and female form etc. Check out the first farming run in this video, I think it beats the reaper th-cam.com/video/kVCcVNiI-gk/w-d-xo.html

For a tip with the old hero, literally easy as hell method. Shoot or hit him once then let him do his roar and wait til he starts walking again and repeat, took me like 5 min to beat him and he nevers jumps at you or anything, i literally stood in the same spot in the middle basically the whole time.
You make getting through the reapers look easy. But.. yes this is a good strategy to farm for souls. :-) Also, (I'm NOT the best at this game) the Old Hero is one of the easier bosses with the thief ring. You don't need to snipe him, just walk around and do hit and roll tactics against him.
@@JohnSmith-ch9sm that’s brilliant. Just speeds up the fight so much. Got a mage build now with 40 magic and the Crested Falchion +5 that’ll do some nice damage 💪
You can farm the best in 4-3. 13000 souls in like 5 minutes. You don't even have to die because you have a gateway. Once you get the storm breaker you can oneshot the stingray like creates. If you time your swing correctly you can one-shot 5 - 6 of them at once. Each giving 1250 souls
Yep! But remember, if you get your world tendency to pure black you can over 100,000 souls! You can get more than 13000 souls from 4-2 with pure black world tendency. Remember to equip the Ring of Avarice and the Silver bracelets for even more! 👍😀
@@AshenOneGaming I have got PWWT and with the Ring of Avarice and Silver Bracelets I am getting 2011 souls per kill. This might be the way forward to get PBWT.
@@happiestaku6646 PBWT will give you the most souls! So when farming anywhere it’s better to have Pure Black. Just make sure you’re completely done with W4 before you do go to PBWT, unless you have friends who can help you alter WT whenever you need :)
@@AshenOneGaming😭😭😭😭😭😭 the black phantoms on the cliff path the black phantoms on the cliff path the black phantoms on the cliff path 😭😵💫😵😫😭😭😭 (rocking in a corner sucking her thumb) they are in the walls they are in the ceiling THEY ARE EVERYWHERE 🤪
your strategy against the Old hero worked perfectly .. i used it with Soul arrow and a combo of the thief and fragrant rings.. took me like 40 minutes to kill him but he didn't even touch me
08:23 when you enter the room, look to the right. Roll to land on the pillar and STAY on it to snipe at the reaper who's.... just below you -> zone skipped. Also if you take the time to look for the merchant of the area, he comes just before the 2nd best farm area and sell tones of different arrows.
Reading all your comments I felt like I was on a bitcoin farming page but with Demon's Souls instead. Ca-chihing. I love these games, oh Toe-nished ones. 🦶❌ *"Praise the Sun!"* 🔆 Thankee for this vid, man, and bless thee too. 🙏
So true. The golden skeletons are so much more intimidating at a glance but they're actually way easier than the silver skeletons once you actually go at them. The number one thing the silvers have going for them is their hyper-aggressive nature with all the attack rolling and not giving you an inch of room. The gold skeletons hit hard but they don't do that hyper-aggressive rolling shit.
I wanna thank you dude because you literally helped me through all of this!!!! I managed to do everything thank you so fucking much!!!! Definitely subscribing for more!!!!
Dude. I was pretty wild about the Ritual Path farming spot for a LONG time. I used to total how much I'd make per run and I always tried to break 15K but always ended up in the realm of 14.5K (with Ring of Avarice,) and each run took probably 4 minutes (a guess.) I thought that was so good. I just followed your video and FINALLY made my way past the creepy laser ghosts and got through the Storm King fight and holy shit, this Monolith spot is so much better. On my first run through it, before I've even become familiar with the patterns, and before I've worked out the most efficient way to kill everything, I just made 21,048 in 1 minute and 24 seconds LMAO. From 14.5k in 4 minutes to 21k in 1.5 minutes... This Monolith Forest spot is literally four times better than Ritual Path.
I figured that in my first NG+ all you have to do is get your dex to 60 and use the stick bow on the sting rays and its a one shot I think 50 for regular new game I take 45 seconds with black world tendency in soul form and pull 55k souls each run
7:17 this does not work for me. There are enemies to my left and right as soon as i walk in to shoot the old hero or whatever he is called. The dude u snipe. Is it because i don’t have the thief ring?
I don't know where you were standing when you were striking at the bird, but each time he screeched the beast stretched his tongue through the floor and could still hit me no matter where I was standing.
Was the Adjudicator updated? This attack goes through the second floor somehow and the ring isn’t helping at all. Even when I’m in one of the corners. It’s BS.
I just tried this method two times as of Jan 27,2023 When I first fought the Adjudicator I went in soul form and didn’t not have the thief ring equipped once I entered the fog I went into my inventory and equipped it but the Adjudicator tongue clipped through the floor even while I hugged the fog wall. The second time I went in human form with the thief ring equipped already and the Adjudicator didn’t clip through the floor this time and I killed it with 18 to 20 arrows with my lvl 5 long bow also I only have 12 points in dex hope this helps
Holy shit I take it all back I'm glad I drove myself crazy and developed an ulcer getting here This is insane I've never seen a farm like this and a souls game 139,000 in just a couple of minutes
@@ThePokestopPapi works the same way as alluring skulls in dark souls. Pretty much every enemy goes after and attacks where you throw the remains, granted you throw them within their aggro range. All the skeletons, reapers, and even black phantoms will fall for it
Anyone know how I can get the official gloves I think I might of dropped it and they fat official who drops it won’t give it anymore and it’s not in my storage and inventory
Where is the actual soul farm though? How many souls does it give? What enemies are you farming? This video isnt about a soul farm its how to beat level 4 easily.
Yeah this was one of my first ever videos when building my channel and I just assumed everyone knew of the farm from the original game back in 2011 - I learnt a valuable lesson from this video. There’s another video on my channel which goes into the farming spot in depth ❤️👍
So, just to make absolutely sure, the manta rays will respawn in the sky even after the King of Storms has been killed? Because during that boss battle, I noticed killing them was netting HECKA souls. I considered not killing the storm king just so I could keep farming them.
Yeah mate. Get the boss killed. And then just use archstone to reset and all rays come back without boss. Once cleared just hit archstone again and repeat :D
8:13 safer play this part is put thief ring on snd use bow to snipe guy from archway an stairs then st top of stairs u can snipe the reaper and despawn all thr moves snd go down all the stairs back to thr next outdoor part but gotta deal with the mobs then
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Got another vid going live in the next hour. "Advanced Soul Farming', 100,000s in minutes. More for the NG+ and beyond players, but it follows on from this quite well!
You can also use the poison pad abilities and literally just sit stay away snd watch him slowly go down and out on thief ring takes awhile but it safe that's what I did maybe can do both poison then slowly shoot arrows
@@s0me188 hey mate, thanks for the comment. Do you mind asking you something? Obviously there are real game-breaking glitches in the game, essentially ‘cheats’. You could argue that being able to max out all your stats via the luck glitch could basically make all other soul farming redundant. But do you still prefer seeing alternatives that are more about playing the game rather than just cheating it?
@@s0me188 I feel like such a fool. I’ve seen videos of people just exploiting the game to crazy extremes and therefore decided to not create videos. You’ve inspired me to make more. Thank you! :)
Yeah man! The royalty class is awesome and my favourite class! Take a shed load of spices for The Old Hero fight as opposed to a shed load of arrows. The believe Flame Toss does more damage against both the Adjudicator and the Old Hero :)
@@hollywooda111 hey mate! So yeah. You don’t want to run through this in body form. Dying in body form will make a world increasingly harder. I have videos on my channel for the following: - 15 things I wish I knew - World tendency explained - Character tendency explained These will help you out!
Is the roll to skip to the boss still working? Or did it get patched. I beat phalanx I hope it isn't patched. Elden ring brought me to this game since I beat elden ring several times with 500+ hrs and it being my first souls game I plan to go back and play every souls game I missed. And I came across your videos which are great man?👍
Cheers mate! Also, I’m so jealous that you’re about to embark on a souls marathon for the first time. It will change you as a gamer forever 😄 Roll still works make sure you’re rolling fast. Sometimes best just to unequip your gear then roll. Just to make sure
@@AshenOneGaming I love the light roll in elden ring I did a no armor playthrough as well, Yes man and the beauty of this demon's souls remake looks amazing. I can't wait to go to bloodborn and all the dark souls as we'll. I have quite the long journey ahead of me. Well I appreciate the response. Good to know this works. And great informative vids much thanks!👍
How can you upgrade an axe? I can't even upgrade even though I have enough souls and shards. And the skeleton dies within 5-7 hits with my axe. And I get teamed up by the skeleton.
Man did they patch the adjudicator boss or something coz he sees ma ass immediately even with thr thief ring :( Nevermind, I was not near the fog gate. Bro this was super helpful, the cheese for this boss was fantastic, even got another trophie! Subscribed 😁👍
Magic>a Bow for this Farming, because MP doesn't cost Souls. Arrows do. So, I'd suggest the Royal Class, which comes with Magic Recovery to stack on the Crescent Falchion. Might as well pick that up in 4-1 on the way, it's not much of a detour.
@@AshenOneGaming While you're in the Shrine of Storms, unlock Graverobber Blige, and buy the Leather Armor off of him. Just the body, it's the best thing to Reinforce the Glass Cannon, so you can survive a few whacks of Melee. You can't shoot everything, but you can weaken them enough to finish them off with a few well timed slashes. Also, a Crescent Broadsword can do everything the Crescent Falchion can do and more. (You can get that from the Dredgeling Peddler in World 3. Same place you can buy the Claymore.) So, save your Moonstone Shards for that.
@@Psiberzerker I can’t help getting to Crescent Falchion immediately and getting it to +5 ASAP. I have a video on my channel fighting the Tower Knight. Omg he does so quickly! 😂
It’s something cool and different, almost every other guide is royalty which becomes bland after a while. Don’t mind the whole bow farming tbh, you’ll have enough souls by then.
Yeah so in the storm king area. You take out all the flying rays with storm ruler. Quickly hit the arch stone and repeat. Depending on soul boosting items and world tendency you can get 100,000k + every 2 mins
There’s a shit ton of red skeletons that I can’t get passed on the pathway to the old hero boss fight. Does this mean if I do manage to beat the king of storms I’ll get 100k souls from using the lightning sword on the stingrays?
Ok if you want a consistent rune farn, DO NOT kill the boss, with avarice ring each of them drops 1,500 souls and more with bracelet, kill a group of them with the sword and then save and exit and just keep repeating, when you save and exit you’ll be teleported outside the fog gate and the boss resets allowing you to keep farming the mobs
you jus made me believe all souls games are easy with farming, this may sound dumb but i’ve always seen these games x10 challenging then they really are(still all these games are not a difficulty to joke with and they are hard especially the first few play throughs of each) and as dumb as it may sound i’ve always played these games with what i had and kept moving and leveled up when i destroyed a boss. hence why i’ve quit ds1 and 2 but now i’m gunna retake this whole series on and farm early on. after this i looked up a grass farm, and while healing in this game is a tad easier imo than dark souls , the concept of farming has never really hit me like this. so from a noob idiot thank you ! lmao

You make getting through the reapers look easy. But.. yes this is a good strategy to farm for souls. :-) Also, (I'm NOT the best at this game) the Old Hero is one of the easier bosses with the thief ring. You don't need to snipe him, just walk around and do hit and roll tactics against him.
Ha nice one butt. I’ll try that! Have a good Christmas boyo!
@@AshenOneGaming By walk around, I mean walk, and don't run. Running will get his attention.
@@JohnSmith-ch9sm that’s brilliant. Just speeds up the fight so much. Got a mage build now with 40 magic and the Crested Falchion +5 that’ll do some nice damage 💪
@Aiden Phoenix yeah I find this way faster and more efficient
Great Video. Thanks for your help. Greetings from Germany
Thanks mate, no problem. Hope you're keeping safe!
You can farm the best in 4-3. 13000 souls in like 5 minutes. You don't even have to die because you have a gateway. Once you get the storm breaker you can oneshot the stingray like creates. If you time your swing correctly you can one-shot 5 - 6 of them at once. Each giving 1250 souls
Yep! But remember, if you get your world tendency to pure black you can over 100,000 souls! You can get more than 13000 souls from 4-2 with pure black world tendency. Remember to equip the Ring of Avarice and the Silver bracelets for even more! 👍😀
@@AshenOneGaming I have got PWWT and with the Ring of Avarice and Silver Bracelets I am getting 2011 souls per kill.
This might be the way forward to get PBWT.
@@happiestaku6646 PBWT will give you the most souls! So when farming anywhere it’s better to have Pure Black. Just make sure you’re completely done with W4 before you do go to PBWT, unless you have friends who can help you alter WT whenever you need :)
@@AshenOneGaming i hate that summons boss kills don t count
@@AshenOneGaming😭😭😭😭😭😭 the black phantoms on the cliff path the black phantoms on the cliff path the black phantoms on the cliff path 😭😵💫😵😫😭😭😭 (rocking in a corner sucking her thumb) they are in the walls they are in the ceiling THEY ARE EVERYWHERE 🤪
I finally beat old hero’s punk ass.. bout to do king of storm now !!!! Thanks bro this vid helped me alot!!!
You’re smashing it mate! Nice one, keep it up! 👍💪
It worked thanks this game frustrates the hell out of me!!!
But It's a good game
your strategy against the Old hero worked perfectly .. i used it with Soul arrow and a combo of the thief and fragrant rings.. took me like 40 minutes to kill him but he didn't even touch me
Ha nice one mate! Nice strategy!
I beat him in 3 minutes with melee
08:23 when you enter the room, look to the right. Roll to land on the pillar and STAY on it to snipe at the reaper who's.... just below you -> zone skipped. Also if you take the time to look for the merchant of the area, he comes just before the 2nd best farm area and sell tones of different arrows.
Legendary guide!
Thank you.
Reading all your comments I felt like I was on a bitcoin farming page but with Demon's Souls instead. Ca-chihing.
I love these games, oh Toe-nished ones. 🦶❌ *"Praise the Sun!"* 🔆
Thankee for this vid, man, and bless thee too. 🙏
I didn't find the red-eyed blade skeletons to be that bad. Just move around to avoid the telegraphed hits and then backstab
So true. The golden skeletons are so much more intimidating at a glance but they're actually way easier than the silver skeletons once you actually go at them. The number one thing the silvers have going for them is their hyper-aggressive nature with all the attack rolling and not giving you an inch of room. The gold skeletons hit hard but they don't do that hyper-aggressive rolling shit.
Dude, this absolute power grin in the thumbnail has me in tears laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but appreciate the tips! Awesome game!
Bless your soul for giving us this gift
You are more than welcome! :)
I wanna thank you dude because you literally helped me through all of this!!!! I managed to do everything thank you so fucking much!!!! Definitely subscribing for more!!!!
Brian by friend! You are welcome sir!
You don't even need to roll from the steps anymore, you can vault over the wall next to ostrava
Yep!
Just getting back to playing demon souls and u must say u are a legend 😎
This game has been kicking my butt, I'm still on the TowerKnight but this helps so much
Where you at now bro? I’m NG+ now and got 3 bosses left
Dude. I was pretty wild about the Ritual Path farming spot for a LONG time. I used to total how much I'd make per run and I always tried to break 15K but always ended up in the realm of 14.5K (with Ring of Avarice,) and each run took probably 4 minutes (a guess.) I thought that was so good.
I just followed your video and FINALLY made my way past the creepy laser ghosts and got through the Storm King fight and holy shit, this Monolith spot is so much better.
On my first run through it, before I've even become familiar with the patterns, and before I've worked out the most efficient way to kill everything, I just made 21,048 in 1 minute and 24 seconds LMAO.
From 14.5k in 4 minutes to 21k in 1.5 minutes... This Monolith Forest spot is literally four times better than Ritual Path.
I figured that in my first NG+ all you have to do is get your dex to 60 and use the stick bow on the sting rays and its a one shot
I think 50 for regular new game
I take 45 seconds with black world tendency in soul form and pull 55k souls each run
Damn I remember this farming spot in the original demons souls. Glad it still worked in the remake
7:17 this does not work for me. There are enemies to my left and right as soon as i walk in to shoot the old hero or whatever he is called. The dude u snipe.
Is it because i don’t have the thief ring?
Just started the game and I think I'm just gna farm world for forever 😂
Congrats u made an infomercial guide out of Front Software games.
You can vault over that ledge without the roll onto it for their ring
Tip from a noob: if you’re having trouble with the roll take off your armor
Spoken like a true demon slayer mate. Nothing noob about you! 💪👍
I don't know where you were standing when you were striking at the bird, but each time he screeched the beast stretched his tongue through the floor and could still hit me no matter where I was standing.
For the thrift ring you don’t need to roll of you can vault stuff in this game just walk up to it
Was the Adjudicator updated? This attack goes through the second floor somehow and the ring isn’t helping at all. Even when I’m in one of the corners. It’s BS.
I just tried this method two times as of Jan 27,2023
When I first fought the Adjudicator I went in soul form and didn’t not have the thief ring equipped once I entered the fog I went into my inventory and equipped it but the Adjudicator tongue clipped through the floor even while I hugged the fog wall.
The second time I went in human form with the thief ring equipped already and the Adjudicator didn’t clip through the floor this time and I killed it with 18 to 20 arrows with my lvl 5 long bow also I only have 12 points in dex hope this helps
dont know if anyone else said this but you can literally just vault over the wall to the thief ring. but your way works too lol
Myron! Yep! Hah back then I was too sure haha
You absolute legend......
Does this still work? Currently started the game
@@FunKaYxxD1sCO yes.
Your the best I could not get pass this level thank thank thank you yes I did it
Duke my man! Nice one mate!
So the best farm spot is the end, where the manta rays fly by right?
ye
Holy shit I take it all back I'm glad I drove myself crazy and developed an ulcer getting here This is insane I've never seen a farm like this and a souls game 139,000 in just a couple of minutes
You are amazing and I have been following your guides ever since I got the ps5 a couple days ago . You have sub or life
Yes! So glad you finally got one. Hopefully more people can get a PS5 now. Thanks for subscribing!
@@AshenOneGaming thank you . And you earned it
I tried the thief ring trick on adjudicator and he was still attacking me as if I was never wearing it.
Using Soul Remains works against all the ground-based enemies in world 4, truly making this the easiest archstone to finish
What does Soul remains do? I have dozens of these but haven’t looked up what they do yet
@@ThePokestopPapi works the same way as alluring skulls in dark souls.
Pretty much every enemy goes after and attacks where you throw the remains, granted you throw them within their aggro range.
All the skeletons, reapers, and even black phantoms will fall for it
@@PaladinLeeroy42069 Ahh ok, thank you!
Thanks for the great video! 👍 just subscribed
Cheers Mike, appreciate it. I have another video that I’m just piecing together now for advanced soul farming in NG+ 👍
not sure Adjudicator even with the ring just keeps lashing me till i die even against the fog wall
edit: nevermind i just had to git gud
Hey Julius? Really? Never known that to happen? I think it’s about timing and not trying to get too many hits in 😊
ok but same, what did you do differently?
Here in 2024 and I forgot a bow in general so now I’m using a silver catalyst with no upgrades and doing 29 damage a hit on the old hero
Anyone know how I can get the official gloves I think I might of dropped it and they fat official who drops it won’t give it anymore and it’s not in my storage and inventory
Thanks Boss! This is a great guide!
Where is the actual soul farm though? How many souls does it give? What enemies are you farming? This video isnt about a soul farm its how to beat level 4 easily.
Yeah this was one of my first ever videos when building my channel and I just assumed everyone knew of the farm from the original game back in 2011 - I learnt a valuable lesson from this video. There’s another video on my channel which goes into the farming spot in depth ❤️👍
This video deserves more likes. Get this man some likes!!
Ha thanks mate!
So, just to make absolutely sure, the manta rays will respawn in the sky even after the King of Storms has been killed? Because during that boss battle, I noticed killing them was netting HECKA souls. I considered not killing the storm king just so I could keep farming them.
Yeah mate. Get the boss killed. And then just use archstone to reset and all rays come back without boss. Once cleared just hit archstone again and repeat :D
that was a very good game, I just played this game, fortunately I found this video early on, thanks for the guide.. Hope to see you on other game 👍
Utterly brilliant, life saver 💪🏼
8:13 safer play this part is put thief ring on snd use bow to snipe guy from archway an stairs then st top of stairs u can snipe the reaper and despawn all thr moves snd go down all the stairs back to thr next outdoor part but gotta deal with the mobs then
Such an amazing video for farming souls my friend. I already left a like and will jow Subscribe. Thank you thank you.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Got another vid going live in the next hour. "Advanced Soul Farming', 100,000s in minutes. More for the NG+ and beyond players, but it follows on from this quite well!
You can also use the poison pad abilities and literally just sit stay away snd watch him slowly go down and out on thief ring takes awhile but it safe that's what I did maybe can do both poison then slowly shoot arrows
I passed the area it felt good 👍 after 3 hours lol 😆 I keep trying to go back for my souls when i die and I die again before even getting my souls
Adjudicator has a glitch where his tounge goes through the floor its so annoying
Just here to confirm that wall skip is still doable, just a bitch and a half to do
XD he made it look so easy in the video, it’s not…
Keep rollin rollin rollin🎶
Something very important is not said: if your character is on high equipment burden, remove armor and weapons so you can roll.
Good video and tips thanks a lot
No problem, the game can be quite rough, even for returning fans. So, it's always nice to have a few tricks up the sleeve :D
@@AshenOneGaming this is not a glitch so thank you
@@s0me188 hey mate, thanks for the comment. Do you mind asking you something? Obviously there are real game-breaking glitches in the game, essentially ‘cheats’. You could argue that being able to max out all your stats via the luck glitch could basically make all other soul farming redundant. But do you still prefer seeing alternatives that are more about playing the game rather than just cheating it?
@@AshenOneGaming of course playing and raise your self with all hard stuffs in the game better than cheating .. that's why I love souls games
@@s0me188 I feel like such a fool. I’ve seen videos of people just exploiting the game to crazy extremes and therefore decided to not create videos. You’ve inspired me to make more. Thank you! :)
Holy hell this farm is great
Holy hell this comment is Great
Could you do this with the Royalty class?, I like the magic & would like to do a Mage build.
Yeah man! The royalty class is awesome and my favourite class! Take a shed load of spices for The Old Hero fight as opposed to a shed load of arrows. The believe Flame Toss does more damage against both the Adjudicator and the Old Hero :)
@@AshenOneGaming Awesome! thank you. I've also read that you should die immediately when you enter the Nexus, does this help?
@@hollywooda111 hey mate! So yeah. You don’t want to run through this in body form. Dying in body form will make a world increasingly harder. I have videos on my channel for the following:
- 15 things I wish I knew
- World tendency explained
- Character tendency explained
These will help you out!
@@AshenOneGaming Brilliant! on them now. and thanks again bud!
where did u go after the reaper i cant figure it out @7:35
Solid guide, but would be nice to have chapter markers in the video guide
Save the guy in 4-1 first so he shows up in the room right before the reaper and sells arrows for 10 souls instead of 20 in the nexus
Then you have even faster, cheaper farming of the reaper! Lovely stuff!
@@AshenOneGaming yeah and the key is right below the shortcut and his cell is just over the other side of the wall
@@cynicalpotato6837 yep! Copper Key. And he sells Moonlightstone shards in 4-2 as well. Really handy for the Crested Falchion if you pick that up 😀
@@AshenOneGaming unfortunately you need darkmoonstone to upgrade the Crescent falchion :(
@@cynicalpotato6837 cant u buy that from the filty man? In the beginning of the level with the mine?
Is the roll to skip to the boss still working?
Or did it get patched. I beat phalanx I hope it isn't patched. Elden ring brought me to this game since I beat elden ring several times with 500+ hrs and it being my first souls game I plan to go back and play every souls game I missed. And I came across your videos which are great man?👍
Cheers mate! Also, I’m so jealous that you’re about to embark on a souls marathon for the first time. It will change you as a gamer forever 😄 Roll still works make sure you’re rolling fast. Sometimes best just to unequip your gear then roll. Just to make sure
@@AshenOneGaming I love the light roll in elden ring I did a no armor playthrough as well, Yes man and the beauty of this demon's souls remake looks amazing. I can't wait to go to bloodborn and all the dark souls as we'll. I have quite the long journey ahead of me. Well I appreciate the response. Good to know this works. And great informative vids much thanks!👍
How can you upgrade an axe? I can't even upgrade even though I have enough souls and shards. And the skeleton dies within 5-7 hits with my axe. And I get teamed up by the skeleton.
Still working! Thank u 👍🏻
Man did they patch the adjudicator boss or something coz he sees ma ass immediately even with thr thief ring :(
Nevermind, I was not near the fog gate. Bro this was super helpful, the cheese for this boss was fantastic, even got another trophie! Subscribed 😁👍
Man dude be smaccin da shit out my temple knight with his tongue (pause). I wear theif ring but he still detects me.
Im new to this. Its solid haha. What should i carry and put in storage? Does everything have a use?
Magic>a Bow for this Farming, because MP doesn't cost Souls. Arrows do. So, I'd suggest the Royal Class, which comes with Magic Recovery to stack on the Crescent Falchion. Might as well pick that up in 4-1 on the way, it's not much of a detour.
Currently playing the Royalty class and it is hands down my favourite! This is a great comment 👍
@@AshenOneGaming While you're in the Shrine of Storms, unlock Graverobber Blige, and buy the Leather Armor off of him. Just the body, it's the best thing to Reinforce the Glass Cannon, so you can survive a few whacks of Melee. You can't shoot everything, but you can weaken them enough to finish them off with a few well timed slashes. Also, a Crescent Broadsword can do everything the Crescent Falchion can do and more. (You can get that from the Dredgeling Peddler in World 3. Same place you can buy the Claymore.) So, save your Moonstone Shards for that.
@@Psiberzerker I can’t help getting to Crescent Falchion immediately and getting it to +5 ASAP. I have a video on my channel fighting the Tower Knight. Omg he does so quickly! 😂
@@AshenOneGaming I saw that. Yeah, the Crescent Broadsword might take a while to get up to +5, but it's optional, and I'm late...
It’s something cool and different, almost every other guide is royalty which becomes bland after a while. Don’t mind the whole bow farming tbh, you’ll have enough souls by then.
Great video !!
Thank you!
adjudicator is killing me everytime, what you presented here is not applicable for me somehow
It would've been nice to know you had to hit a pressure playe behind the reapers tomb area
I killed the storm king before watching this vid but im new to souls games can you clarify what the farm is because im a little confused
Yeah so in the storm king area. You take out all the flying rays with storm ruler. Quickly hit the arch stone and repeat. Depending on soul boosting items and world tendency you can get 100,000k + every 2 mins
@@AshenOneGaming oh wow that’s gonna be very helpful for a noob such as myself
There’s a shit ton of red skeletons that I can’t get passed on the pathway to the old hero boss fight. Does this mean if I do manage to beat the king of storms I’ll get 100k souls from using the lightning sword on the stingrays?
Ok if you want a consistent rune farn, DO NOT kill the boss, with avarice ring each of them drops 1,500 souls and more with bracelet, kill a group of them with the sword and then save and exit and just keep repeating, when you save and exit you’ll be teleported outside the fog gate and the boss resets allowing you to keep farming the mobs
The mobs respawn without the boss.
5:44 you can also get the regenerator ring there
Finally🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I got to be honest I hated every minute of that it was an absolute pain in the ass it took me hours I hope this farm is worth it
The adjudicator manages to hit me through the floor
What bow are you using? Short bow? I am playing as a mage.
I'm having trouble getting the roll skip to work. Anyone know if it's been patched?
The adjudicator skip still works did it first try today
you jus made me believe all souls games are easy with farming, this may sound dumb but i’ve always seen these games x10 challenging then they really are(still all these games are not a difficulty to joke with and they are hard especially the first few play throughs of each) and as dumb as it may sound i’ve always played these games with what i had and kept moving and leveled up when i destroyed a boss. hence why i’ve quit ds1 and 2 but now i’m gunna retake this whole series on and farm early on. after this i looked up a grass farm, and while healing in this game is a tad easier imo than dark souls , the concept of farming has never really hit me like this. so from a noob idiot thank you ! lmao
