of the whole.

Use

Offer to the Victor's Stone in Majula to increase your rank in the Company of Champions covenant.

Farming Guide

Equip whatever Item Discovery articles you can. The Old Knights in Heide's Tower of Flame are an excellent place to farm Awestones, provided you don't have access to the Grave of Saints or Bonfire Ascetics, in which case continually farming Rhoy the Explorer is your best farming option as mentioned above, considering you can trigger the invasion 12 times per Bonfire Ascetic used. You must be in offline mode to trigger this invasion. Remember that you need to use the Ascetic on Harval's Resting Place after defeating the Rat Vanguard boss, and NOT at the Grave of Saints second bonfire, Grave Entrance. Kill Rhoy, rest at the Grave Entrance bonfire (it's closer than Harval's Resting Place), and then run down the ladder on the left-hand side. Go back up the ladder, and the invasion will start. I typically run across the bridge until Rhoy comes, which allows you a 1v1 fight without rats. If you have the Force miracle, you can push him off of this bridge for a cheap win. Repeat this 11 more times, then use a Bonfire Ascetic to do it another 12, so on and so forth.

Keep in mind that only the Old Knights who wield the Old Knight Ultra Greatsword can drop Awestones. The most time efficient method is to start at the second bonfire and go down the staircase to where you fought the Dragonrider. Kill the Old Knight there, and proceed up the stairs to the central circular section. You can draw the Old Knight wielding the ultra greatsword by damaging any of the knights with a ranged attack. Run back down the stair about halfway, and the shield knights will not pursue you. The Old Knight with the ultra greatsword will, however. This is a good strategy if you are not confident about your ability to fight all three knights at once. If you are confident, just murder them all simultaneously. Once that knight is dispatched, proceed towards the Old Dragonslayer boss and kill the final Old Knight without a shield. This is the complete run. Rinse and repeat until you have as many Awestones as you need. I just did this run over and over in 5 hours and got 36 Awestones from it. I got approximately 350k soul memory, so do understand that this will take a considerable amount of time and inflate your soul memory.

The best way to do this run, providing you can kill the knights without being hit, is to run through, kill all of the knights, and jump off into the sea. This is a fast way to get back to the bonfire. Although risky because you can be killed easily with the half reduced HP you will eventually, if you collect your bloodstain each time, retain a considerable amount of souls. Alternatively, you can use homeward bones, but getting enough is tricky, and it's just much better to take the honorable death of the samurai. You can, of course, walk back to the bonfire. Trust me, this gets old by the 1000th time.

Of course, all enemies respawn infinitely, so this is a repeatable strategy, since you're in the Company Of Champions, as mentioned above.

Second Strategy (I don't recommend this one): The Razorback Nightcrawler enemies in Black Gulch drop Awestones quite often, but this is a considerably slower farming location than the knights, due to the cumbersome poison statues and the distance required to get to Black Gulch.

Go to the Hidden Chamber bonfire and kill the Nightcrawlers. You can also kill the Coal Tar enemies for some upgrade materials while you're at it. Rinse and repeat.

Undead Crypt
Another place you can farm the awestones is in the Undead Crypt. Start in the second bonfire and backtrack to where the Grave Warden are. You'll need to avoid two Syan Knights but this is very easy. Kill the Grave Warden and proceed to the next room to kill the three Leydia Witches. Use a homeward bone and repeat.
This method can be very useful because the 6 enemies are close to the bonfire and to each other, they all drop awestones, and the witches can drop Simpleton's Spice or Skeptic's Spice.

Black Separation Crystal

In-Game Description

A symbol of farewells that has been passed
down since time immemorial.

Notes

Bone of Order

In-Game Description

Online play item.
You will be punished for fleeing from other
worlds by disconnecting unjustly. However,
this charm will disperse the ire directed at you.

But sins are not easily buried, and there's no
telling if you will be let off so easily next time.
Each encounter in life is a precious turn of fate,
and fate will not be cheated.

Use

Restores the link to other worlds

If you repeatedly quit the game or go offline when invaded, summon signs will become completely unavailable, as will help from the Blue Sentinels. You will still get invaded, but now you must now face the invader with no help. This bone works as an apology, allowing you to restore the link between worlds. However, several hours of waiting/idling is needed to get a new one, so it is best to make sure that you will never need to use it.

Availability

Character automatically starts with this item.

When a bone is used, another one respawns at the altar in Things Betwixt after an unknown number of hours.

Notes

The first ban seems to happen after 10 disconnections (unconfirmed/varies). After waiting in Things Betwixt for 8.5 hours while online, the Bone of Order did not appear.

After the second ban, going offline and staying on the second floor above the old ladies for ~10 hours then resting at bonfire spawned the Bone of Order.

After using the Bone of Order, stayed in the house of the old ladies in Thing Betwixt offline for 11 hours and rested at the bonfire, just as described, and nothing appeared. Tried both while hollow and human. More research must be done.

I was playing with my banned character for about 6 hours offline and 6 hours online and after that I got my new Bone of Order.

once lived remains a part of a great cycle of
regeneration.

But what of those outside of the cycle?

Uses

Consumable item that causes all enemies in the area to attack invaders for a limited time (60 minutes).

Availability

Farming

Invading NPC phantoms trigger the chance for a seed to spawn. This creates a farming opportunity that is much faster than waiting for random online invasions.

Scholar only: Extremely easy way to farm is to bonfire ascetic soldiers rest and run straight from the bonfire into the tree room. Armorer Dennis will spawn and you will see if you got a seed or not. If you did grab it and jump off the edge, if you didn't jump off the edge again. He will infinitely respawn and you will see if you get a seed each time.

Armorer Dennis in Forest of the Fallen Giants (Scholar only)

This is the fastest method to farm seeds, but can only be done in Scholar of the First Sin, and requires you to die each time, but the entire process can be done in under 30 seconds (Depending on your load times), which includes the time to check and loot a seed, making it the fastest possible way to farm seeds.

  1. Keep Armorer Dennis in Forest of Fallen Giants alive by not defeating him.
  2. From the Soldiers' Rest bonfire, head outside and towards the seed's spawn point.
  3. Armorer Dennis will invade as you leave the bonfire room, spawning in the seed's room.
  4. The seed will either spawn or not, either way loot if needed, then die (Fastest way is to run back outside and fall into a pit.
  5. Respawn back at the Soldiers' Rest bonfire.
  6. Repeat.

Armorer Dennis/Fencer Sharron in Iron Keep (Scholar only)

This method requires Scholar of the First Sin, and to die.

  1. Keep Armorer Dennis and/or Fencer Sharron alive in Iron Keep by not defeating them.
  2. From the first bonfire, cross the bridge, and into the keep to spawn the invasion.
  3. Die.
  4. Repeat a few times, then head to the Soldiers' Rest bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants to check for the seed.

Rockshield Baldyr in Shulva, Sanctum City

This method requires you to die.

  1. Keep Rockshield Baldyr in Shulva, Sanctum City alive by not defeating him
  2. From the Priestess' Chamber bonfire, run across the thin walkway to spawn the invasion.
  3. Die.
  4. Repeat a few times, then head to the Soldiers' Rest bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants to check for the seed.

Aslatiel of Mirrah in Aldia's Keep

This method does not require you to die.

  1. Keep Aslatiel of Mirrah in Aldia's Keep alive by not defeating him.
  2. From the Foregarden bonfire outside the keep, run into the keep's first hallway to spawn the invasion.
  3. For DS2 - Run passed him into the main hall, and up the staircase, to cause Aslatiel to despawn. For SotFS - Run passed him into the main hall, and all the way up to the giant basilisk at the top, then head into the dragon switch room to cause Aslatiel to despawn.
  4. Warp or run back to the Foregarden bonfire.
  5. Repeat a few times, then head to the Soldiers' Rest bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants to check for the seed.

Notes

Footnotes 1. Early reports suggested an increasing 10% chance for every invasion until it spawns, but there is no evidence for this and testing so far indicates a flat 1/4 chance.

Small White Sign Soapstone

In-Game Description

Online play item.
Leave summon sign.

Be summoned as a shade to another world
in order to help that world's master for
a certain time. You will be rewarded for

only in particular places to provide assistance.

Availability

Summon Timer

By default, the Small White Sign Soapstone allows the player to be summoned for a little over 8 minutes. However, every enemy that is killed will lessen the remaining time. This can result in a very short session if a summoned shade is helping a host kill lots of enemies in a level.

Forest of Fallen Giants
Speak to Mild Mannered Pate twice after you trigger the gate trap in front of him. If you die or use Homeward or a Homeward Bone without escaping the area beyond the gate, Pate will still give you the soapstone when you return to him.

If you kill Pate before getting the soapstone, you can still get it by going to his gravestone and paying 2,000 souls to talk to him. Making the gravestone appear seems to be somewhat finicky and unreliable, but resting a few times at a bonfire or dying usually works. The gravestone should be right where Pate sits when alive.
