# 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. #### Boss Respawning ---

### 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 ---

#### 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. - Memory of Vammar, behind the two giants on the roof. - One inside a trapped wooden chest in the hallway full of ambushing Sanctum Soldiers early in Dragon's Sanctum. - Three inside a metal chest in Cave of the Dead. - Two inside a metal chest on the roof of the tower where Maldron the Assassin invades in Brume Tower. #### Enemy Drops --- - Dropped by all enemies in Dark Chasms of Old. (uncommon) - Dropped by Scorchers in the Brume Tower. (very rare) #### 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. - Forest of Fallen Giants - Cardinal Tower - Sinner's Rise - The Saltfort - Iron Keep - Eygil's Idol - Black Gulch - Hidden Chamber - Brightstone Cove Tseldora - Lower Brightstone Cove - Drangleic Castle - King's Gate - Undead Crypt - Undead Ditch - Dragon Shrine - Shrine Entrance Footnotes 1. Special items, like the Drangleic Set and most Fire Seeds, do not respawn either. 2. Select NG+ specific events will not occur while the player is still in the first playthrough, regardless of Ascetics used.
# Human Effigy
![]()
### In-Game Description --- *A warm, soft, shadow-like effigy. Use this item to reverse Hollowing. It also weakens the links to other worlds, preventing invasions and most cooperation. Peer closely at an effigy, and one begins to perceive a human form, but whose form it takes depends on the person looking.* ### Use --- - Reverse hollowing to regain human form and max HP. - 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. ### Availability --- #### Where to buy: --- - Five sold by Merchant Hag Melentia for 1,500 souls each. - One sold by Magerold of Lanafir in Iron Keep for 3,000 souls. - 13 sold by Grave Warden Agdayne in Undead Crypt for 3,000 souls each. - Three sold by Darkdiver Grandahl for 3,000 souls each. Join the Pilgrims of Dark covenant in order to make him available as a merchant. #### Chest and Corpse locations: --- - Found in a chest on the second floor of the Fire Keepers' dwelling in Things Betwixt. - In a chest under the rope bridge when going from Majula to Forest of Fallen Giants. (Note: This chest will replenish if a Bonfire Ascetic is used at the nearby bonfire.) - On a body near the Heide Knight in Forest of Fallen Giants. - Treasure in Forest of Fallen Giants, after the boulder trap in the cave where Cale the Cartographer is. - Treasure in Forest of Fallen Giants, on some scaffolding. - One on a body resting on the railing near the first bonfire in Heide's Tower of Flame. - Three in a wooden chest in Heide's Tower of Flame, near the Dragonrider boss fight (NG+ only). The chest contains three Green Blossoms as well. - Five in a chest in Heide's Tower of Flame, right before the Old Dragonslayer boss fight. - In the tunnel from Heide's Tower of Flame to No-man's Wharf, the first item in front of you. - In No-man's Wharf, on top of a row boat in the last section. - Near the Heide Knight in the Lost Bastille, down in the rubble of the ruined wall. - At the bottom of the ladder that leads to the long hallway with cells and the Ruin Sentinels boss fight in the Lost Bastille. - After the Servant's Quarters bonfire in the Lost Bastille, on the edge of the wall behind some boxes. - One in the last poison mist of Harvest Valley, in an alcove (three at Bonfire Intensity 2+). - Earthen Peak, on a platform in the room with large gears. - At the end of Belfry Sol on a corpse. - Treasure in Iron Keep. At the Threshold Bridge bonfire, directly below the staircase (beware of fire damage). - Treasure in Sinner's Rise. Follow the outside stairs downwards, on the broken end lies a corpse with the treasure. - On a body in the misty part of the Shaded Woods. - Treasure in Shaded Woods behind a pillar, near the Head of Vengarl. - Three in a chest in the open area with Lion Clan Warriors in Shaded Woods. - Five in a chest in Brightstone Cove Tseldora. At the Royal Army Campsite bonfire, located inside a stone house which is accessible by jumping down the well. (Note: This chest will replenish if a Bonfire Ascetic is used here.) - Treasure in Shrine of Amana, just before the fog gate leading to the Crumbled Ruins bonfire. - Treasure in Shrine of Winter after the Heide Knight. - On the staircase with a wall trap in Dragon's Sanctum. - In Dragon's Sanctum, next to the bridge raised by the Dragon Stone contraption. - Three in Memory of the Old Iron King. #### Enemy drops: --- - Dropped by Old Ironclad Soldiers in Forest of Fallen Giants. - Dropped by Old Knights in Heide's Tower of Flame. - Dropped by Stray Dogs in various areas. - Dropped by Skeletons. Guaranteed drop from the ones in the Majula mansion (one skeleton per Bonfire Intensity level, max 8, do not respawn). - Dropped by Lizardmen in Shrine of Amana. - Dropped by Petrifying Statue Cluster and Poison Statue Cluster in Shulva, Sanctum City and Cave of the Dead. - Dropped by Cask Runners. - Dropped by Facsimile Giants. - Dropped by Ice Rats. #### Other sources: --- - Starting gift choice. - Gift from Lucatiel of Mirrah when you meet her for the second time (exhaust her dialogue). - Six can be obtained by killing Strowen the Fire Keeper, or by returning to her after obtaining the King's Ring. ### 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. --- ### Disabling Online Activity --- 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. But we will never know for sure, for soot and ashes tell no story.* ### Use --- Burn at the bonfire in Majula to increase the health restored by the Estus Flask. ### Availability --- #### Dark Souls II --- - ln Heide's Tower of Flame, kill the second Old Knight in the area. - In Sinner's Rise, from the bonfire, go down the steps to the bottom level and take the elevator down to the floor level where there is standing water. Go through the door and to the left, and defeat the Enhanced Undead. The dust will be on a corpse. - In Undead Purgatory, before the boss, where the Red Phantom awaits. Jump to the right of the bridge, and grab it from the corpse. - in Iron Keep after killing the Old Iron King. There is one in a chest. - in Black Gulch after killing the Rotten. There is one in a chest. #### Scholar of the First Sin --- Found in metal chests guarded by a single Royal Guard. Replaces the locations above. - In the passage to No Man's Wharf. - In the Shaded Woods, from the Shaded Ruins bonfire. Jump out the window nearby to reach the area containing multiple petrified lion warriors, the chest is found in the building to the left. - In Huntsman's Copse from the Bridge Approach bonfire, head to the domed building containing Soul Spear. - In Drangleic Castle, after entering the foyer go through the left alcove and enter the the room on the left end of the hallway, behind the halberd-wielding Syan Knight. It's in a metal chest. - Right before Gutter, in a metal chest where the Great Heal Excerpt used to be. ### Notes --- - Each upgrade increases the health restoration of the Estus Flask by 50 HP. - The maximum Estus Flask bonus is +5. After it is reached, the dust can still be obtained but is useless. Trying to upgrade the flasks further will only show a dialog telling you "Cannot burn further items". - Can be sold to Lonesome Gavlan for 1,800 souls. ### Videos --- - Location Guide for All Sublime Bone Dusts
# 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.

The entrance is blocked by a petrified enemy, so you need another branch to enter it. If you have a low equipment burden you can align yourself behind the chest and slightly to the right, then jump over the wall if you aim slightly right of the lowest section, but this is difficult to pull off. You will need to warp back to the bonfire to get out without using a branch.

(This chest can be reached without using a Fragrant Branch via a very difficult jump over the break in the wall behind it \[at least on PC\], but the jump is extremely difficult to pull off since being patched.) - Manscorpion Tark will give you one if you complete his quest (defeat the area boss). You have to wear the Ring of Whispers to talk to him. - The Gutter: One can be found on the same structure that contains the Dark Pyromancy Flame. This is the building next to the second bridge from the first bonfire. - Black Gulch: At the start, immediately after jumping down from The Gutter. - Undead Crypt: In one of the metal chests just before Velstadt, the Royal Aegis. - Dragon Shrine: The chest on the ledge that used to contain Crystal Magic Weapon now has a Fragrant Branch of Yore. ### Enemy Drops (Sotfs) --- - Lord's Private Chamber: Dropped by the hollow Duke Tseldora after The Duke's Dear Freja. - Undead Crypt: Guaranteed drop by an Insolent Knight that appears in the room with Leydia Witches once you light the statue.

This distance is much further than in Dark Souls.

# 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.

Once they are open and you have defeated Burnt Ivory King, Maughlin the Armourer will add the Ivory King Set to his inventory. ### Rewards ---
SoulsReward
5Loyce Gauntlets
5Loyce Leggings
15Loyce Armor
35Loyce Helm
50Soul 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).

### 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".

# Simpleton's Spice
![]()
### In-Game Description --- *A spice exuding a peculiar aroma. A spell demands devotion from its caster, but using this spice makes a chosen spell attainable with 1 less intelligence.

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: 1. st route: From the Undead Ditch bonfire go to the next room and then go up the ladder located near the entrance.

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).

The ledge is accessible from a little higher up and contains the spice. - Shaded Woods: At the Shaded Ruins bonfire, walk halfway along the bridge and look right to see a tower in the distance.

Infinite farming - Use the Ascetics with caution, because this is an obligatory area for finishing the game. If you're considering to get the Illusory Ring of a Conqueror or/and the Illusory Ring of the Exalted on the next playthrough, using the ascetics will make this initial area harder (and getting the rings even harder), specially because there is a place where three Lindelt Clerics and a Amana Shrine Maiden simultaneously aggro at you, despite of trying to luring them one by one. #### Undead Crypt --- - Equip maximum Item Discovery and farm the Leydia Witches: 1. st route: From the Undead Ditch bonfire go to the next room and then go up the ladder located near the entrance.

# Forgotten Key
![]()
### In-Game Description --- *Key found in the Gutter. Intricately designed, but of unknown origin. All manner of terrible things have been cast into the Gutter in Majula, forming a 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.

# Tseldora Den Key

NOTE: The Ogre in the first Forest of the fallen giants bonfire also dropped me an awestone a few times. - Mirror Squires in Aldia's Keep - Dragon Knights in Dragon Shrine - Elite Giants in Memory of Vammar - Flexile sentry boss in No man's wharf dropped me one awestone (NG). Not confirmed if the non-boss version also drops. Nobody said nothing about the boss version, and we have also another enemy that is boss and non-boss in another place (Ruin sentinels) where the non-boss drops awestones, maybe they follow the same pattern. ### Red Phantom NPC invader locations: --- - Huntsman's Copse, on the cliff path prior to fighting the Skeleton Lords boss - Grave of Saints, right after climbing up the ladder (must be offline). **Note**: Spawns 12 times, as normal enemies only on NG+ or higher. - Doors of Pharros, Bowman Guthry invades right after entering the Rat King covenant area (must be offline). **Note**: Spawns 12 times, as normal enemies only on NG+ or higher. - The Gutter, on one of the cliff sides with ambush of undead climbing up edge, spawns Melinda the Butcher on a platform - Drangleic Castle, right after the large painting of the queen - Belfry Luna, a Bell Keeper invades and waits for you next to the bell lever (must be offline) - Belfry Luna, Upper Ramparts bonfire - after the Belfry Gargoyles fight, down the ladder where all the dogs are - Belfry Sol, a Bell Keeper invades next to the bell lever (must be offline) - Shrine of Amana, after Rhoy's Resting Place bonfire - Undead Crypt, Undead Ditch: The room before the long hallway of Wall Warriors - Aldia's Keep, right after entering the keep itself - Dragon Shrine, in the tower with the Petrified Egg #### Royal Sorcerer Navlaan invasions: --- - Forest of Fallen Giants, The Place Unbeknownst bonfire - The Gutter, Upper Gutter: Go directly forward, fall into the hole, and jump across to the torch hollow - Brightstone Cove Tseldora, Lower Brightstone Cove: Area with spikes on the floor - Drangleic Castle, Forgotten Chamber bonfire - Aldia's Keep: near Guardian Dragon fog wall - Dragon Aerie, right before the final bridge to Dragon Shrine ### Notes --- - You must be a member of the Company of Champions covenant for Awestones to become available as a dropped item. - If you wish to go offline: - Join a Party (Xbox 360). - On the Steam client, close the game and choose Steam -> Go Offline. **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.

# 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. 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 --- - 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). 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.

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.
