This means you have to defeat Prowling Magus & Congregation each time, which drops a Titanite Slab, making the farming all the more worthwhile.

Bonfire Items
Bonfire Ascetic
|
In-Game Description
Tossing this into a bonfire strengthens nearby foes.
Once the Bonfire Ascetic is devoured by
the flames, its effects can never be reversed.
Be prepared before using this perilous ember.
Fire exhibits a connection to the curse,
and when the flames grow stronger,
so does the curse.
Use
Burn at a bonfire to strengthen nearby foes.
- Bonfire Intensity, indicated in the area warp menu, permanently increases by 1.
- Most enemies and items respawn, which makes Ascetics valuable for farming.
What the Bonfire Ascetic resets:
- All monsters in the area, including those who spawn only once and scripted NPC invasions. This resets the "15 kills" respawning counter back to zero. Includes Crystal Lizards.
- All items found on corpses.1
- Boss opening cutscenes.
- The bosses themselves. All of them in case of multiples.
- Wooden Chests
What the Bonfire Ascetic doesn't reset:
- All opened shortcuts stay opened.
- Special encounters, like the first one with the Pursuer.
- Doesn't respawn dead NPCs, reset their aggression or their inventory.
- Metal Chests
- Souls of a Giant in memories (to farm them, use the Dragon Shrine bonfire)
Some NG+ exclusive loot appears in the world or is dropped by enemies old and new even when a Bonfire Ascetic is used. For example, Gower's Ring of Protection is available in the Shaded Woods if an Ascetic is used on the Ruined Fork Road bonfire. Many bosses also have additional drops.
Bonfire Ascetics may or may not update merchant inventories to include NG+ or NG++ items. For example, Chancellor Wellager will not sell NG++ items until the player is actually in NG++. However, Maughlin the Armourer will sell his new items.
For a full list of Bonfire Intensity 2+ changes and what bonfire causes the change, see the tables below.

Bonfire Intensity
Using a Bonfire Ascetic will irreversibly change the corresponding area's difficulty into the same as the next New Game Plus cycle2. All bonfires in the first playthrough start with the intensity of "1". Entering NG+ increases all bonfires by an additional point (all become "2" if no Ascetics were used), however using one Ascetic during the first playthrough will change that one specific bonfire to "2". Upon entering NG+, while normally all bonfires would change to "2" that bonfire will now change to "3".
Bonfire Intensity can be increased to 99, though enemy stat increases max out at 8 (NG+7).
You can still burn Bonfire Ascetics after you reached Bonfire Intensity 99, everything will respawn as normal. Just the number won't go up anymore.
Scaling
Enemy Souls Dropped
Bonfire Intensity | Souls |
---|---|
1 | x * 1 |
2 | x * 2 |
3 | x * 2.5 |
4 | x * 2.75 |
5 | x * 3 |
6 | x * 3.25 |
7 | x * 3.5 |
8 | x * 4 |
Example: if an enemy drops 100 souls at Bonfire Intensity 1, they will drop 200 souls at 2 and 400 souls at 8.
Enemy HP
Early testing indicates that it will differ from enemy to enemy. Though the values found so far have either been equal to (or less than) the souls dropped multiplier.

Chest and Corpse Locations
- One in the last tower in the Lost Bastille before Sinner's Rise, there is a door to your right as you go up the steps to enter. Open this and enter the room with the cage lifts, and roll onto the ledge below.
- One at the end of a path of lava rocks near the first bonfire of Iron Keep. (Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin: three Bonfire Ascetics instead of one, along with a Simpleton's Spice)
- Exit the Prowling Magus boss room in Brightstone Cove Tseldora and turn around to face the building, look for a ladder which leads to the attic with various items, including a Bonfire Ascetic.
- Three in a chest after the Looking Glass Knight in King's Passage.
- Found in a chest at the bottom of the shrine after the Demon of Song.
- In a chest up the stairs from the second bonfire of Undead Crypt, near the Leydia Witch.
- Two in a chest on top of the main stairs of Aldia's Keep, to the right.
- Three in a metal chest in Dragon Shrine. First door to the right of the first knight.
- Memory of Jeigh, first platform to the left after entering the fog gate. (Have a very rare chance to pick up 2 Bonfire Ascetic (for me it happend ones on 113th walkthrough from about 400)).
- Memory of Orro, three in a metal chest found by knocking down a wooden platform and jumping into the hole in the wall.

Other Sources
- Take one as a starting gift.
- Reward if you invade in Dark Chasms of Old and personally kill the host player or another invader.
- Also rewarded if the host kills an invader personally.
Most Reliable Source
Using a Fragrant Yore Branch on the leftmost Petrified Hollow facing the Giant Basilisk in Aldia's Keep (SotFS Only) will yield 2 Bonfire Ascetics on kill.
By using 1 of the two on the outside bonfire, you can respawn this Hollow (already unpetrified) for an additional 2 Bonfire Ascetics, repeatable ad-infinitum.
Notes
- Be warned, as any area you enhance with a Bonfire Ascetic WILL carry over to NG+. This means an area that you have made NG+ level on regular playthrough will then be NG++ on your NG+ playthrough and so on and so forth. Exercise caution when using Ascetics due to this reason, especially in areas you find particularly difficult for yourself.
- No loot is accumulated upon burning an ascetic; it is all replaced. Because of this, it is recommended you get all the loot from the area which you may want in the future before burning an ascetic.
- Using a total of 8 Bonfire Ascetics on each of these bonfires will turn their flame on the map in the Majula Mansion to blue.

- Burn while resting at a bonfire to disable most forms of PvP and co-op.
- Given to Darkdiver Grandahl to enable access to the Dark Chasm of Old.

- Starting gift choice.
- Gift from Lucatiel of Mirrah when you meet her for the second time (exhaust her dialogue).

Farming Effigies
- Burning Bonfire Ascetics in Majula will respawn the skeletons in the basement of the mansion, and they are guaranteed to drop one Effigy each. The more Ascetics you burn, the more skeletons will be in the basement, up to a total of 8 at Bonfire Intensity 8. This means you get 8 Effigies per Ascetic once the Far Fire has reached an intensity of 8 or higher. Bear in mind that the skeletons get very difficult and have a lot of HP, and there are 8 of them, but it pays off in the end.
- In Shrine of Amana you can farm Effigies by killing Lizardmen. Start by equipping Item Discovery gear. Then go to the Tower of Prayer bonfire and work your way until you reach the cave with the chest and four Lizardmen inside, then rinse and repeat.
- You can buy infinite Prism Stones from Sweet Shalquoir after opening the Shrine of Winter. If you trade these with the Dyna and Tillo, there is a chance to get Human Effigies. Small Smooth & Silky Stones and Smooth & Silky Stones can be traded too, but the chance of getting Effigies from the silky stones is smaller.

When burning an effigy at a bonfire, online activity is disabled for that area for half an hour.
- A status effect icon of a crossed-out soapstone will indicate that the effect is still active and applies to your current area.
- Online activity can resume after waiting a half hour for the effect to finish. The timer must be waited out in the area where it was used, and quitting/reloading or entering the area on the next playthrough will not reset it.
- As of Ver 1.10, Cal 1.13, the effect of a human effigy is gained automatically after beating a boss, to prevent invasions at that time. The effect can also be cancelled at a bonfire in the area with the "Nullify Human Effigy's effect" option, without waiting the full half-hour. This option can also be selected to see the time remaining on the effect counting down.
- The player is protected from Cracked Red Eye Orb invasions. The player cannot use or summon signs created by the White Sign Soapstone, Small White Sign Soapstone, Red Sign Soapstone, nor the Dragon Eye.
- It will not protect the player from Bell Keeper invasions or Rat King Covenant summons, as effigies cannot be burned at the bonfires of their corresponding areas.
- It will not protect the player from Blue Sentinel invasions if they have acquired enough sin.
Other Ways to Regain Humanity
- The Altar of Amana in the Shrine of Amana restores your humanity as long as you are completely out of effigies. This includes having zero in your item box.
- Successfully completing a session of co-op with either the White Sign Soapstone or Small White Sign Soapstone will restore humanity.
- Wearing the King's Crown after receiving Vendrick's Blessing (obtain all 3 DLC crowns) will also prevent the player from losing humanity upon death.
Sublime Bone Dust
|
Description
Charred, ashen bones.
Cast them into the Far Fire in Majula
to increase the HP restored
with each use of your flask.
They say these are the remains of a saint
who cast himself into the bonfire.

for soot and ashes tell no story.

Availability

Consumables
Aged Feather
|
In-Game Description
An aged bird feather.
Return to last bonfire rested at.
Can be used repeatedly.
The child of the dragon, sequestered away
from the world, imagined a world of boundless
possibilities from the mere sight of a feather.
Use
Acts as a reusable homeward bone that will teleport you to the last bonfire you rested at.
Availability
Given to the player by the Emerald Herald upon reaching Dragon Aerie.
Dropped by the Emerald Herald on death.
Notes
- This item, along with the Darksign, Homeward Bones, and the Miracle Homeward will warp you back to the spawn gazebo in Things Betwixt if both the Fire Keeper's Dwelling in Things Betwixt and The Far Fire in Majula are unlit, potentially as a softlock prevention measure and/or a default warp location.
- Warping with a Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward will not cause you to rest at the bonfire, but it will reset the world and all enemies as if you had.
- This means a Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign are safe to use during "no bonfire" runs, and Homeward is safe on NG+ "no bonfire" runs.
- Since all enemies will be restored and you will not be, you will usually want to immediately rest after using Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward.
- Even if you avoid resting at bonfires or using Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward, enemies can respawn if you get far enough away that an area is unloaded. This distance is much further than in Dark Souls. If you run from Majula to Vendrick at the end of Undead Crypt and then back, only Shaded Woods will have been reloaded - Shrine of Amana and Drangleic Castle will be the way you left them.
- Warping with a Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward will cause any summon signs you placed to disappear, no matter how short the distance you warp.
- The Emerald Herald holds it when leveling you up, but you still cannot level up without using the Emerald Herald.

- Brightstone Cove Tseldora: In the room preceding the Prowling Magus & Congregation boss, there is an illusory wall across from the door leading into the room. The shard is on a corpse hanging out of a window.
Scholar of the First Sin:
- Things Betwixt: On the path to Majula, bring a Fragrant Branch of Yore and unpetrify the Undead Traveler blocking the third fog gate. Knock down the tree platform to cross the gap and find a pit. Drop down to find 3 Basilisks and the Estus Flask Shard.
- Forest of Fallen Giants: On the platform where you can first meet the The Pursuer near the Cardinal Tower bonfire. One of the corpses is holding an Estus Flask Shard.
- No-man's Wharf: In the watery passage between Heide's Tower of Flame and No-man's Wharf in a room with a Basilisk, there's a petrified hollow blocking stairs. Use a Fragrant Branch of Yore to get past him and pick up the Estus Flask Shard on the corpse nearby.
- Huntsman's Copse: From the Undead Lockaway bonfire, clear the area and go to the dropped portcullis in the skeleton caves. You will find a Crystal Lizard and a corpse holding an Estus Flask Shard.
- The Gutter: in the area with the Heide Knight Lancer and chest with visible Aurous set, climb the long ladder upwards and the Shard will be at the top, on a corpse. It's near the zip-line.
Dark Souls 2 & Scholar of the First Sin:
- Majula: Next to the big gaping hole in the ground is a well with a large rock resting on the edge of it. Attacking the stone will cause a corpse holding the shard to be pulled up by the rope.
- Majula:Use the House Key to unlock the mansion. Once inside the house, head to the basement. Defeat the Skeleton and continue forward to find the shard on skeletal remains.
- The Lost Bastille: From the Exile Holding Cells bonfire, progress until you reach a ladder. Descend the ladder, exit the small room and follow the wall to the left. On the other side of the destructible wooden scaffolding there is a narrow path which leads around the building to a metal chest holding the shard. Alternatively, from the McDuff's Workshop bonfire, follow the wall around through the dogs until you reach the narrow path. The chest is visible from the McDuff's Workshop bonfire, through a crack in the wall.
- Shaded Woods: Use a Fragrant Branch of Yore to restore Rosabeth of Melfia to human form. After pulling the lever and entering the next room, the shard can be found inside a metal chest which lies in a room on the ground floor and right side of the stairs.
- Brightstone Cove Tseldora: Descend the stairs from the Chapel Threshold bonfire and continue until you reach the area overlooking the quick-sand sinkhole. Find the building with the Hollow Mage, two exploding barrels, and a corpse on top of the roof. That room contains the estus shard and there is more than one way to reach it. If you have high health, and/or fall-damage reduction gear/spells, a well timed jump can place you on the landing in front of the entrance to the room. Otherwise, ride the zip-line rope down once, then follow the rock face and drop down on the wooden beams and then onto the roof of the house. Carefully step from the edge of the roof to the landing in front of the doorway, and head inside to find the shard on a pile of bones.
- Drangleic Castle: From the Central Castle Drangleic bonfire, head down the hallway with the descending stairs. This path leads to a small circular room containing; a platform that will later rise, a locked door which leads to the Looking Glass Knight, and a ladder. Climb the ladder and enter the room containing seven Stone Soldiers and a large golem statue. Activate the golem by defeating an enemy in close proximity to it, and progress through the passage until you arrive at a large entryway decorated with numerous knight statues. From this grand entryway, head outside and down a set of stairs which leads to an armory room. Adjacent to the lever which activates the exit is a metal chest containing the estus shard.
- Shrine of Amana: From the Crumbled Ruins bonfire, progress until you encounter the Ogre enemy. Behind the Ogre is a series of pillars which indicate the path to the shard. Carrying a lit torch will make it much easier to navigate the treacherous pathway without falling to your death. The estus shard will be near the end of this pathway on a corpse behind a pillar, and just before the metal chest containing the Sunlight Blade Miracle.
Notes
- You'll only need to find a total of 11 shards to max out the flask's uses.
- After reaching 12 Estus Flasks the shards can still be obtained and show up in the inventory but are unusable. Trying to upgrade the flasks further will only show a dialog saying "Estus Flask at maximum strength".
- They can be sold to Lonesome Gavlan for 1,200 souls.

Estus Flask
|
In-Game Description
A green glass bottle of unknown make.
Fill it with Estus at a bonfire, and drink
from it to restore HP.
There is some kind of link between the Estus
Flasks and the bonfires that illuminate the
world of the Undead, but knowledge of this
has been long forgotten.
All that is known now is that this flask
remains a prized possession of the Undead.
Use
Drink from it to restore 550 HP (+1 = +50 HP) over about 3-5 seconds, replenish at bonfires.
Availability
Given by the Emerald Herald in Majula.
Notes
- Estus Flask Shards are be found across the world. They can be given to the Emerald Herald to gain one more flask up to a maximum of twelve flasks.
- The Far Fire Bonfire in Majula can be kindled with Sublime Bone Dust to increase the potency of each flask, with a maximum benefit of +5. Each Sublime Bone Dust slightly increases the rate of health recovery, and increases the restoration value by 50 HP, up to a maximum of 800 HP.
- The Adaptability stat increases the speed of the drinking animation.
- Wearing the Ancient Dragon Seal increases the healing of flasks by 50 HP.
- Reaching maximum strength and number of uses can be done in a single playthrough without the need of Bonfire Ascetics.

Firebomb
|
In-Game Description
Bisque urn filled with black powder.
Explodes, inflicting fire damage.
Though this urn is a crude and commonplace
weapon, it owes its continued usage to its
simplicity and effectiveness in a variety
of situations.
Use
Explodes, inflicting Fire damage.
Base damage from a direct hit is: 200 + 1.3 x Fire Bonus
The explosion can deal damage to many nearby enemies at once.
Availability

- Three in a chest behind an illusory wall in No-man's Wharf, ground floor of the building with the shortcut
- Three in a cell near Straid of Olaphis in the Lost Bastille. Requires Bastille Key.
- Three found on a ledge near the Shaded Ruins bonfire in Shaded Woods

Notes
- Can be batted out of the air, or even back at the thrower.
- Can be used to blow up barrels of explosive substance in various places:
- In the Forest of Fallen Giants, near the Firebomb-throwing Hollow Soldier standing alone on a wall there are barrels. Throwing a Firebomb here will cause them to blow up the wall and open a shortcut to the Cardinal Tower bonfire.
- In the lower part of the Bastille, where three dogs guard a gate at the base of a long staircase, which has an explosive barrel and a large enemy at its peak. Push the explosive barrel down the stairs to destroy the weakened wall to the left of the door, revealing a bonfire and the rear entrance to McDuff's smithy. If the barrel does not explode on its own, you can simply nudge it into place and detonate it yourself with a Firebomb. May be able to set off barrel with any weapon that does Fire damage.
Flame Butterfly
In-Game Description
Bottle filled with dried red butterflies.
Stimulation of these rare butterflies creates a
small flame, allowing torches to be lit on the go.
These butterflies exude secretions which ignite
upon exposure to air, protecting them from
natural predators. Known and loved as handy
fire-lighters, but feared as the catalysts of
disastrous fires when found in swarms.
Use
Light torch autonomously.

Sweet Shalquoir | 600 souls | 10 / ∞ after opening the Shrine of Winter |
Chest and Corpse Locations
- Five on a corpse by the Victor's Stone in Majula.
- Three on a corpse next to Benhart Of Jugo, between Majula and the Shaded Woods. The corpse holds three Lifegems as well.
- One on a corpse in the tunnel from Majula to Forest of Fallen Giants, in the water.
- One after the lone Old Ironclad Soldier in Forest of Fallen Giants, along with a Lifegem: in order to find it, go right and up the stairs.
- One after dropping down from the platform with the lever that calls the ship in No-man's Wharf.
- Three on a ledge in the Ruin Sentinels arena in the Lost Bastille.
- Three can be found in Grave of Saints on the second floor.
- One in the room with bell-ringing hollows in Undead Crypt. (three at Bonfire Intensity 2+)
Enemy Drops
- Dropped by Undead Prisoner in Grave of Saints. (uncommon)
Notes
- This item, along with the Darksign, Aged Feather, and the Miracle Homeward will warp you back to the spawn gazebo in Things Betwixt if both the Fire Keeper's Dwelling in Things Betwixt and The Far Fire in Majula are unlit, potentially as a softlock prevention measure and/or a default warp location.
- Warping with a Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward will not cause you to rest at the bonfire, but it will reset the world and all enemies as if you had.
- This means a Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign are safe to use during "no bonfire" runs, and Homeward is safe on NG+ "no bonfire" runs.
- Since all enemies will be restored and you will not be, you will usually want to immediately rest after using Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward.
- Even if you avoid resting at bonfires or using Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward, enemies can respawn if you get far enough away that an area is unloaded. This distance is much further than in Dark Souls. If you run from Majula to Vendrick at the end of Undead Crypt and then back, only Shaded Woods will have been reloaded - Shrine of Amana and Drangleic Castle will be the way you left them.
- Warping with a Homeward Bone / Aged Feather / Darksign / Homeward will cause any summon signs you placed to disappear, no matter how short the distance you warp.

|

Talisman used by cleric knights.

It is said that the cleric knights used these talismans to hunt down the accursed Undead.
Cleric knights fight with pride,

Loyce Soul
|
In-Game Description
Soul of the Knights of Loyce.
The Knights of Loyce were taken by Chaos,
and lost all sense of purpose and being.
The few woeful souls that trudged back home
were guided by some faint vestige of self.
This soul is pure sorrow,
and only Alsanna can put it to rest.
Availability
Dropped by Charred Loyce Knights.
Use
Collected for assessment by Alsanna, Silent Oracle, after The Burnt Ivory King is defeated, she will reward you depending on the number of held souls.
As you receive rewards, the two stairways leading up to Alsanna progressively open up. Once they are open and you have defeated Burnt Ivory King, Maughlin the Armourer will add the Ivory King Set to his inventory.
Rewards
Souls | Reward |
---|---|
5 | Loyce Gauntlets |
5 | Loyce Leggings |
15 | Loyce Armor |
35 | Loyce Helm |
50 | Soul of Alsanna, Silent Oracle |
Notes
- Placing souls in your item box or discarding them before talking to Alsanna still yields the appropriate reward depending on the total souls you owned.
- They do carry over into ng+.
- Consuming the souls gives nothing, so its better not to.
- Co-op phantoms can get these as a drop from the knights and with a MUCH HIGHER drop rate than as a host.
- The drop rate is staggeringly low
- After defeating the Burnt Ivory King and returning to the area, Charred Loyce Knights will respawn indefinitely from the three portals approximately every 2.5 minutes. They don't spawn indefinitely in Scholar of the First Sin (This can be fixed by joining the Company of Champions covenant).
- Seeing as you have to engage the Charred Loyce Knights solo after defeating the Burnt Ivory King it may be of greater benefit to farm these souls by repeating the boss fight to garner help from 4 - 6 allies (or even 7 in Scholar of the First Sin).

an imitation can be quite enough.
Use
Cures Poison and restores 850 HP.

Weaponsmith Ornifex | Dragonslayer Greatbow | 10,000 |
Consume | 75,000 souls | - |
Notes
- This Soul could be a reference to Lord Gwyn from the original Dark Souls. However, as the three other Great Souls acquired in NG+ are references to the Lord Souls from the original game, it could also be a reference to The Four Kings of New Londo. The fact that it can be traded for Blinding Bolt, the description of which mentions the "God of Sun", points more towards Gwyn.
- Without the awful English translation it's pretty clear that it's a reference to the sun's firstborn, same for "ichorous earth".

Farming Guide
Belfry Sol
- Play offline to avoid being invaded by members of the Bell Keepers covenant.
- Use Bonfire Ascetics on the Belfry Sol bonfire to respawn the spices.
- One is located to the left of the door at the beginning of the area.
- One is located behind the tower with the ladder going up to the rooftop.
- One is located at the bottom of the rooftop, on the far right side (from the ladder going up to the rooftop).
Other items of note:
- The Mad Warrior may occasionally spawn near the second spice, and can be killed for his armor set.
- The Dual Avelyn Bell Keepers have a small chance of dropping the Black Witch Domino Mask and are the only source for it.
Keep in mind that this method will make the enemies stronger each time you use a bonfire ascetic. This is not recomended if you're trying to farm the Mad Warrior, either for his loot or for progressing in the Bell Keepers covenant offline.
Harvest Valley
- Use Bonfire Ascetics on the Mines bonfire to respawn the spices.
- One is located in one of the rooms in the area with all the Artificial Undead.
- One is located in the underground poison gas-filled corridor just after the bonfire.
- The Covetous Demon must be killed every time.
Other items of note:
- In the area with the first spice, there is also a Skeptic's Spice, and a Twinkling Titanite.
- Just before the Covetous Demon is a hole in the ground with a poison bug and another Skeptic's Spice.
- Various consumable souls are scattered around the area.
Undead Crypt
- Equip maximum Item Discovery and farm the Leydia Witches:
- st route: From the Undead Ditch bonfire go to the next room and then go up the ladder located near the entrance. Kill the witch, drop down (to your left) and run to the bonfire to repeat this process. On the first run try to destroy all the grave stones that will get in your way.
- nd route: From the Undead Ditch, backtrack towards the entrance of the crypt avoiding the syan knights. Soon you'll find three Leydia Witches not looking at you. Kill them the fastest way you can, and return to the bonfire either on foot or by homeward bone. This way should be more effective because you kill more witches in less time, but is also harder, because it requires you to avoid the spells that are cast on you, and the undead that will get in your way.
- Join the Company of Champions covenant for endless respawns of enemies.
- In comparisons to other methods, this can be slower because its based on luck, but it doesnt require the use of Bonfire Ascetics.
- The witches can also drop Skeptic's Spice.
- The witches can aslo drop Awestones (only if a member of Company of Champions). This becomes useful for progressing in this covenant offline.

settlement of filth and chaos.
Use
The key can be used to open the following doors:
- In Black Gulch right above where you find the cave entrance to the two Elite Giants which drop the key, leads to Darkdiver Grandahl.
- In Majula if you drop down to the Pit in front of the Mansion, or climb down the 12,000 soul ladder bought from Laddersmith Gilligan, you will find an iron ladder leading up to another door. Through the door is a room with three metal chests which contain the Witchtree Branch and Witchtree Bellvine, Soul Vortex, and Great Lightning Spear. A corpse in the room will hold the Dragon Talon in Scholar of the First Sin
- In the Gutter if you take a left from the first bonfire, jump onto a lower building with two hollows (one which wields a torch), and then take the ladder up to a room filled with countless Poison Shooting Statues, you will find another door. Inside is Havel's Set and Havel's Greatshield.
Availability
Dropped by the two Elite Giants in Black Gulch.
From the first bonfire walk downwards, until the first worm attacks you from the wall. At this point walk off the cliff on the right side. You will land on a ledge with a door, which you will be able to open as soon as you have the Forgotten Key. Look for a corpse underneath the ledge and drop down towards it. From there you will be able to drop to an even lower ledge with a cave entrance. Inside this cave entrance you will find two Elite Giants. The second one will always drop the key and a Soul of a Giant.
Notes
- Poison Arrows are helpful if you have trouble killing the Giants.
- Using a bow and large amounts of arrows one can hide inside on of the two smaller caverns in the area (preferably the one with the chest due to its larger size and lack of holes to fall into) and shoot arrows from within the relative safety of the smaller caverns although on occasion some of the Elite Giant's attacks will connect through the wall.
- Fast way to the Forgotten Key: Rush the Dragonrider and get to Lonesome Gavlan in No-man's Wharf and buy 20 poison throwing knives, buy the Silvercat Ring in Majula and go into the Gutter. From there, make a run for the Black Gulch and kill the giants with poison. If you hit all knives, you will still need to finish off one giant with melee, if you do not have another ranged option. It takes four knives to poison a giant; applying poison two times almost kills them.

Giant's Kinship
|
In-Game Description
Each king has his rightful throne.
And when he sits upon it,
he sees what he chooses to see.
Or perhaps, it is the throne,
which shows the king only what he wants.
The flames roar, but will soon begin to fade,
and only a worthy heir might burnish their light.
What is it, truly, a claimant of the throne
could desire?
Use
This item is required to trigger the encounter with Nashandra in the Throne of Want.
Availability
Obtained by defeating the Giant Lord in the Memory of Jeigh.
Notes
The purpose of this item is in lore only, as the game doesn't check its presence in your inventory as a requirement to encounter Nashandra.
Obtaining this item through illegitimate means won't allow the fight to begin, the only relevant trigger is having defeated the Giant Lord.

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.
The crystal sends phantoms back to their
homes, or sends you back to yours.
Whether ending in hope or despair,
encounters are valuable experiences.
Beware fickle use of this item.
Use
- Banishes friendly phantoms summoned into your world.

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.

Seed of a Tree of Giants
|
In-Game Description
A lump of something, obtainable from a Giant-tree.
Makes enemies react to invaders.
When the giants fell, they grew into great trees.
Death is not the end, for anything that has ever
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
- Starting gift choice.
- Harvested from the resting giant in the room next to the Soldier's Rest bonfire, in Forest of Fallen Giants.
Has roughly a 25% chance of spawning every time the player is invaded by a Red Phantom: both real players and NPCs.1
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.
- Keep Armorer Dennis in Forest of Fallen Giants alive by not defeating him.
- From the Soldiers' Rest bonfire, head outside and towards the seed's spawn point.
- Armorer Dennis will invade as you leave the bonfire room, spawning in the seed's room.
- 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.
- Respawn back at the Soldiers' Rest bonfire.
- Repeat.
Armorer Dennis/Fencer Sharron in Iron Keep (Scholar only)
This method requires Scholar of the First Sin, and to die.
- Keep Armorer Dennis and/or Fencer Sharron alive in Iron Keep by not defeating them.
- From the first bonfire, cross the bridge, and into the keep to spawn the invasion.
- Die.
- 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.
- Keep Rockshield Baldyr in Shulva, Sanctum City alive by not defeating him
- From the Priestess' Chamber bonfire, run across the thin walkway to spawn the invasion.
- Die.
- 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.
- Keep Aslatiel of Mirrah in Aldia's Keep alive by not defeating him.
- From the Foregarden bonfire outside the keep, run into the keep's first hallway to spawn the invasion.
- 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.
- Warp or run back to the Foregarden bonfire.
- Repeat a few times, then head to the Soldiers' Rest bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants to check for the seed.
Notes
- Using a seed will also cause enemies to become aggressive towards Blue Sentinels who have been summoned through the Guardian's Seal ring.
- Once the seed is spawned on the resting giant, it must be collected in order to allow more to spawn afterwards. Be sure to check back periodically after every several invasions, otherwise you may miss the opportunity to collect more seeds that would have spawned if the previous seed was already taken.
- If there is an invader in your world when the 60 minutes is up and the aura on you disappears the enemies seem to continue attacking the invader until the invader is dead or leaves your world.
- Seeds do not fall from red sign invasions.
- For invasions, you do not have to win(i.e., beat the invader) to get the seed to appear. Just the completion of the invasion is sufficient (win or lose).
- Can be used in all invasion types (red, blue, dragon, bell), EXCEPT Rat King invasions (as you are in their world, not your own).
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
successfully assisting the other player.
The effect is not as long-lived as that of
the White Sign Soapstone, and it is used
only in particular places to provide assistance.
Use
Place a small summon sign where you stand, allowing human players to use it to summon you into their world as a Shade for co-op.
- After being summoned, fulfilling your duty to the host will earn you a Smooth & Silky Stone and restore your humanity. You may fulfill your duty in one of the following ways:
- You assist the host in defeating an area boss.
- You remain in the host's world long enough to "time out" and be sent back to your world without killing an area boss.
Availability
In the room above the Cardinal Tower bonfire in Forest of Fallen Giants. You can simply destroy the first door if you do not yet have the Soldier Key.
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.
Notes
- If you are a member of the Heirs of the Sun covenant, you will appear as a Gold Shade, otherwise you will appear as a White Shade. Note that the host will NOT receive a sun medals.
- Matchmaking is determined by Soul Memory and the item used. See Online Matchmaking for more details.
- Unlike the large White Sign Soapstone, defeating an area bosses does not stop the ability to see and summon from small white signs in that area.

Availability
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.
Notes
- If you are a member of the Heirs of the Sun covenant, you will appear as a Gold Phantom, otherwise you will appear as a White Phantom.
- Your character model will darken as you get closer to the end of your available summon time.
- Matchmaking is determined by Soul Memory and the item used. See Online Matchmaking for more details.
