Dark Souls - Soul Farming Tips: Quick 7,000 in 2-3 minutes.

[psdtm]

i liked the drake sword when i first started out but when i got to that area it wasent doin shit eny more so i changed to my katana and i love the bleed effect its so much better. im about to get chaos queens quelaags sword soon cant wait.

[RedTarget1000]

OK I have enough souls to buy the thing off of the blacksmith that lets you enter the forest. I'm level 30 so I want to know if i'm going to get raped or not...

[hellsmachine]

Ahahaha they just jump off?!

[lilbilliethefirst]

Thanks so much for the tip man and an even bigger thanks for showing me EpicNameBro, that dudes a beast!

[TheMichaviel]

they really need a ranking system that gives you a grade (ala MGS) based on how many times someone has died. I'm level 83 looking to grind and there is NOTHING out there. The only thing I can find are the tower knights in Anor londo, but I effed up and pissed off gywndolin.

[GameGuyG]

well this was great for me! your the same level as me, you have the same armour as me, and you have the same sword as me, plus where both at the same part of the game! Only difference is that my shield ia little bit better then your lol

[MrBoyhuman]

hey man would you recommend killing of the east and get his sword and stuff? or let him be? appreciate it man, thanks :)

[KyleNanners]

Not aggro activate... I think that's what he said

[Gleam16]

your shit man

[weegieboy2]

See drake-sword close video.

[kdreadnought]

@weegieboy2 Good for you.

[trippychannel420]

@weegieboy2 No you commented..

[916superman22]

Nice

[XcarmraX]

@snakehunt89 no joke man, I'm loving that thing. Still prefer Quelaag's fury sword though.

[ConnorBigTime]

Lmfao way to talk shit and almost die

[snakehunt89]

drake sword suck gravelords great sword ftw

[eishikibahamut]

You wouldn't have died if you put some points into vitality. If anything that makes you look more hard-core.

[dulro]

this sucks compared to my painted world trick ng+ 20k souls in 20 sec

[SummonerMeleagros]

@dulro this was posted the day after the game came out in NA man, the painting world trick probably wasnt discovered yet. also, this place is far easier than painting world.....i hate painting world >.>

[Drakedog777]

killing them with an ultra great sword in 2 hit each was easier for me

[fullmetalchamploo]

@Drakedog777 Lightning Zweihander +5 awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeeeee

[Drakedog777]

@fullmetalchamploo :P

there is an even better farming area right before the princess chamber, when you kill that big tity woman, the big ass golems disappear and you'll see 2 hollow knights, each give 5k, so thats 10k in a minute if you kill them fast, after you kill them you return to the last bonefire (princess chamber) using the item, which can be sold from that female undead in the sewer for 500, 99 for about 50k, and if you use all those 99 you get 1 mil souls

[AkaMax007]

I use claymore+5

[leusdapogi01]

theres a bonfire there?

why does my game hasn't?

[Drakedog777]

@leusdapogi01

attack the wall

[Sublime5556]

this dude is a fucking moron!!!seriously??have you ever listened to yourself man???

[DrChron1c]

You're the man Snake.

[DrChron1c]

Best video to watch after lighting one up hahaha.

[reproish]

thx a lot acid this works perfect

[v2shan]

I love the way you talk; it's funny :D

[saviopowah]

I have som problems with the mage guy. He stands at a distance and throws magic against me, he wont come to that point below the stairs, so i die. Anything i can do, or have they moved something (from software)? please help ;D

[MrBooneism]

@saviopowah you can use the trees bro, the magic hits the tree you have about 4 to 5 secs to attack. I use a Raw halberd +2 but a normal Halberd is fine. now use this lengthy weapon and kill the mage first then go and do this guide. any questions? (use tree to shield you from magic)

[MrTomkat030]

@saviopowah what i do is use my legendary great scythe and slumbering dragon ring, run in double handed and do a running R1 attack on him mage first 3 hits hes dead, the ninja cleric and axe guy.... NG+ theres 7 NPC's they give you 68,400 souls. after you kill them Pharis and the other archer, both knights are gone then only 27,600 each time

[FlipadieFlip]

Be wary of "fuck" word ahead

[onthespoke2]

6:03

Is that a "haters gonna hate" emote?

[WillyWallace100]

Where did you find the shield?

[crzykd1305]

I got lucky and got the gargoyle halberd at this point, so much better than drake sword with some upgrading. Mainly because it scales with stats (not loads, but enough) the range of the swing is also really useful.

[mandrato678]

7:35 : *Enemy mage smashes with catalyst*

Dumbass.

[theillestBelmont]

My good friend game_timers has shown me that there are actually 5 guys in this garden area worth 10k or 12k depending on health and how fast you ice them.

[africah]

Someone said that you can leave the covenant by visiting the priest in the 1st belltower. is that true? is this the only way you can leave a covenant? can you rejoin a covenant after leave it with the priest's help?

[rolando819]

Good trick thanks for it, but something's bothering me...

Basically anyone searching for a quick soul farming trick would already know wtf Dark Souls is about, so no need to explain every single detail.

[overcorpse]

Props to you m8 for making this.

[wirehot09]

lol hes playing skrillex

[AcidSnake87]

@wirehot09 Not a single Skrillex song was played buddy. Read the video description.

[beanspad]

@AcidSnake87 Noisestorm love them got a whole playlist for em

[beanspad]

@AcidSnake87 Lol drake sword sucks ass to tho...

[gtjet1]

@beanspad drake sword ftw nigga

[beanspad]

@gtjet1 drake sword is for someone whose brand new to the game an dont kno what they want.

[rober300300]

@AcidSnake87 If your on NG+ You get over 20k souls every run xD Ng++Over 60k, Ng+++ Over 100k, NG+++, Over 150k. Yeah. Its crazy O_O

[xB1OHAZARD]

@wirehot09 Skrillex isnt the only Dubstep out there buddy.

[TheJackMUK]

How do u open that door dude? i come to it and it says i need some key or shit? plz let me know how u opened it :) THnx

[lazputiini]

@TheJackMUK buy the key from the blacksmith for 20000 souls.

[sergiocejas]

@lazputiini Or kill him.

[RadicalRyan95]

Great tut vid and all, but the vid would have been half as long, maybe shorter, if you didn't pretend that the people watching this are dumb and have no idea how to play. I'd like it better if you didn't explain things that are unrelated to the farming exploit.

[UmadBRO1999]

I just escaped Anor Londo, and now its time to do some soul farming... I was able to get to Ornstein and Smough but given my current level its fucking impossible. Gonna need to boost my vital, str, endur and dex. xD

[MrSkkeo]

I did it just now it works but you might want to bring a partner just in cause of invasion when you could get invaded a lot!!!!!

[Cresture]

Peace out bro

[DimeWyldeSynTremonti]

@wtothez It's no that serious bro, it's just a game

[ChainChomp77]

was it patched??

[TheMark01]

@ChainChomp77 It works with the actual version too! Yesterday I had about 100.000 souls.

[ChainChomp77]

@TheMark01 thats fucking awesome! I tried it last night and made a new character, and rushed through till that part, saved 20,000 for the key and easy beginning of the game leveling. im 44 now. Invaders suck ass though lol. Thanks a lot.

[SensiMania18]

I would just leave the mage, save yourself like 5min and a chance of death. Still get the 7000'ish souls.

[aoeemp]

my favourite farming area is in Anor Londo, at the first bonfire. go left, kill 3 guys, go right kill 3 guys, go back to bonfire, rinse and repeat. first playthrough gives 9k souls each time, and once you get their move set down its incredibly easey to kill them.

[aoeemp]

thumbs up if you cant wait for this guy to fight the centipede demon. (or any other badass late-game boss)

[Makgath]

you should of up ur music down abit more, i was abit hard to listen to u :p but songs sounded good

[wtothez]

"If you don't know what the term aggro means, then what the fuck are you doing playing RPG"

AMEN

[bawan44]

@wtothez agro means: taking the attention of the enemie right?

[blixi123]

@bawan44 yes

[AngryPrawn]

@baaroodii Thaaaat's not what aggro means...

[baaroodii]

@AngryPrawn Then tell me what does it mean .

[imdave1990]

@wtothez ..to have fun thats what

[chocobomtom]

@wtothez ive been playing rpgs for years and have never ever have heard of agrro.

[FUUAAAAAAAARRRRKKKKK]

@wtothez Everyone has a first RPG. I think DkS is a good place to start.

[TheMichaviel]

@wtothez mostly an mmo term sir. console folks don't know what mmo's are ;)

[djuro91]

tnx man this help a lot... This helps me to use gravelord sword in one hand, so I can kick all ass like a joke =)

[PegasuZProductions]

You can also get the Crest of Artorias for free by killing the blacksmith at the Undead parish. Even though he is hard to kill, he drops 3 humanity, 2000 souls and the Crest of Artorias (if you haven´t bought it yet)

[metafixi]

@PegasuZProductions Or you just beat the hydra in Darkroot Basin and take the secret ladder up to Darkroot Forest.

[gjhernandez]

first 5 mins are worth shit... only blabbing and blabbing... you should remove that part

[bluewhitepukki]

yeah cool ;D

[MrJmaster09]

Awesome

[Hexagram777]

thank you!!!

[wiggmortem]

Anyone? Still work on first run through, patch 1.05?

[juniorrules1]

You kinda remind me of Scumbag Steve. But thanks for farming area it really adds up after a while. Oh and you have great taste in music. ;D

[GozalM97]

i fight them. i like parrying them to know im strong.... cant even defeat the asylum demon T_T

[TheBloodyBlackJackal]

Is there anything better then 7k??? I want to make a level 200 but this is going to take sooo long like this. Damn I wish I made the character before they patched the damn dragon head glitch...

[generalcreation]

@TheBloodyBlackJackal well you can delete the patches...

[TheBloodyBlackJackal]

@generalcreation I heard that doesn't work...

[TheBloodyBlackJackal]

@generalcreation From what I have read, the game won't let you play until you patch...

[generalcreation]

@TheBloodyBlackJackal did you try it while offline? i think it might work if youre offline because i did it on other game, but i dont know for sure

[TheBloodyBlackJackal]

@generalcreation hmm maybe, will I be able to repatch it once I make the character/s I want though??? Cus I like the scaling increase (though I think it should be more then how they have it)...

[bigtraum1]

black knight halberd +5... best weapon in the game! easily!

[Quillet1992]

oh god it worked !!

[RandomlyMaximum]

i have a problem. theres is a few enemies missing from this area in my game theres normally i think 7, but in mine there is only 4. im on a ng+. The first time i got here in ng+ there was an enemy that gave 15000 souls when i killed him and 2 of the other invisible guys they didn't respawn after i went to the bonfire. Is there any way i can fix this problem?

[JinKisaragi]

@RandomlyMaximum You can't, 3 of them just don't respawn so nothing's wrong.

[RandomlyMaximum]

@JinKisaragi well i was wondering because i've seen my friend at this place and all the enemies respawn everytime. was it a patch or somethiing?

[TheBloodyBlackJackal]

@RandomlyMaximum Characters, bosses, and minibosses do not respawn

[mkocja5a]

what's the max level cap? please answer :3

[Zackariah79]

@mkocja5a Every stat maxes out at 99.

[mkocja5a]

@Zackariah79 thanks =)

[marshel87]

Okay guys, i got it... thanks for the lot of replys ;)

[ninjabastard666]

drake sword is NOT the best sword in the game lol.

[Caizu809]

If you go into the graveyard next to the campfire where you find the giant raven, keep goin down the path til you find a big skele, kill it or run past it nd pick up the body's loot behind him nd ull get a Zweihander , it's a pretty damn good 2handed sword, hellishly powerful when you upgrade it. Just incase u wanted a weapon ^^

[Enum995]

took way too long to get to the farming souls bit. you go on and on about things I didn't really come to this video for for nearly 4 minutes

[hassmann2000]

I fucked up the drake sword bit.

[TheSituation59]

somebody know how to do this move on ps3 7:28 ?

[Caizu809]

@TheSituation59 well if it's the same basic layout as the 360, then you need to be behind someone nd press R1 (right shoulder button)

[TheSituation59]

@Caizu809 thx man :D

[Caizu809]

@TheSituation59 glad 2 help ^^ , anyway we all need 2 band together and kick the ass of this god forsaken game! too many times have people gotten really far inna place with around 30k souls, only to die then on the way back get killd to lose them all (myseld included -_-) DEATH 2 THE DEATH GAME! but its also quite epic so.. meh idk

[tobs001]

@TheSituation59 Walk behind the enemy and hit light attack (R1)

[LETHALGAMESTAR]

dam nice vid only ima be using this shit all day haha dark souls harder then demon souls cant co-op an soul farm like lotta ppl did in demon souls but its badass got more stuff if ppl cant pass demon souls they probably wont be able to pass dark souls lol

[DagOnYouToob]

Helpful, but the guy the guy talking sounds like he has brain damage.

[DoctorLightXIX]

Also, for anyone having trouble with the last dude falling on the ledge, just make sure you're all the way at the end and that won't happen.

[ltplaytyme]

Kick ass video dude. Thanks for all the tips. I like the pacing. Drake Sword FTW!!!

[griderkg]

you can smack the black smith to generate his aggro then run him around the demon in the room next to him to get him killed. Upon his death he will drop that 20k item, really useful if you buy all the items you need from him. In addition you won't have to worry about that banging noise he tends to love to make

CHEERS!

[MarkR4022]

"oh noes!"

[XxFalseChordxX]

soo how can I get 20k souls? any alternative ways on farming? having a hard time and I really would like to lvl up/buy awesome shit by farming...

[DoctorLightXIX]

@XxFalseChordxX Use the bridge dragon soul farm between the undead burg and the undead parish. I'm surprised you haven't stumbled across that one already cause its the first main one in the game. Obviously, you can't do it if you defeated the dragon and you had better get the drake sword before you beat him anyways.

[OdinTheTrueGodOfWar]

the drake sword is shit

[j0shtalgia]

Once your level is high enough and you have a decent weapon it's much faster to just kill them. About a minute per run as seen here in the video on my profile.

[killchain187]

great guide but the music makes you hard to hear. next time you should skip the soundtrack.

[Aoriun]

nice stuff, very useful, thanks a lot! *suscribes*

[Trunghuynh90]

think you gotta pay 20000 to get the key from the black smith to open it.

[ShaudX]

Heyy btw... There are supposedly 10 of those characters in the forest... One for each starting class... In the video he only kills like four... When I ran through I killed the knight for 3000 souls

[MrLiveinabox]

where do u get that armor anyway............

[Becauseimaoreo]

@swordster1000 it's not a special attack you just have to be behind the enemy and hit him

[LlamaLlord21]

Way to get right to the point...

[redmoonsheep]

TYVM!!!!

[mastersword97]

if you go outside of the church on the other side of the gate with the pig there is an axe called halberd or something its stronger than the drake sword btw what do you press to do that thing where you get behind an enemy and just stab them.

[whoabiach]

@mastersword97 definitely not as quick or as strong as the drake sword

[swordster1000]

how do u unlock that door mine says locked by some contraption

[swordster1000]

what vl u need to be to use the drake sword and is there any merchent that sells arrows as i killed a merchent who sold arrows

[DARKNINJAJCV763]

this help low level to level up quick.

the dragon covenant head is faster then souls farming it a cheat in the game.

[AthousndBUNNIES]

U don't have to buy it u can kill the npc but u will lose the modifying ability he has its advised to buy the repair kit and the other kits before killing him

[MrDarapstar01]

you rock man !! haha

[tingtongfromtongting]

the item u need to open the door before entering the farming zone.. that smith u went to at the beggining has it right!!!

[forseken666]

thx

[hycaza]

how to open that door?

[domrolando]

@hycaza The blacksmith in the undead parish sells the seal of astorias which opens the door

[stenky0wenky]

it was in one minute !

[SweetOdinsRavens]

Dude, AMAZING guide. And you are by far the coolest person IMO to play Dark souls

[xaoc2nd]

-250 with a backstab... :O NUB

[VAMPIRE6780]

VITALITY 9??????????? HOLY SHIT MAN YOU RE PLAYING DARK SOULS NOT POKEMON BLUE!(WHERE ALSO HP IS IMPORTANT) GET A BIT TANKY FOR GODSHAKE

[MrKimVasa]

awesome!!!!!!!!!! thanks

[Snelliuss]

81 people farmed the hollow soldiers at firelink shrine till they were maxed out

[alikia41]

how to open that door



[soulfoodman]

You are honestly my favorite Dark Souls player ever for the commentary.

[tedigc]

You should invest in some sort of recording device. I would totally watch you do a Lets Play

[expetriat]

"if u die u can start right here" LMAO even without one of em fuckin bonfires u can start where u fucked up, just quit the game b4 it's done loading after u die. And to the retards that say this might effect my save file, well i'v been doing this since the bigenning and i'm about lvl 80 now so yeah, fuck u.

[marshel87]

How to open the gate next to the bonfire?

[j0shtalgia]

@marshel87 Collect 20k souls and buy the crest from the blacksmith by the titanite demon.

[marshel87]

@j0shtalgia thanks, now i got it =)

[FDoute]

Need to buy the key from the blacksmith by the church, 20,000 souls and it's a CREST, not called a key.

[wildgaruk]

@marshel87 You need to ring the second bell for the gate to open(thats if your talkign bout the one near the blacksmith bonfire, if not then its a lever usually behind the gate or killing the dragon for yet a different gate)

[rednek316]

@marshel87 Crest of Artorias for 20K.

[leptile]

@marshel87 buy the seal from the blacksmith

[11guitarfabian11]

@marshel87 You have to buy an emblem for 20.000 souls, you can find it at the blacksmith right before the Demon which defend's the entrance to the garden

[ITHADchannel]

@marshel87 You have to buy the crest from the blacksmith to open the door!!

[robert42thebest]

@marshel87 You need 20.000 souls to purchase a sort of medal-key from the blacksmith before you enter to the forest,which allows you to open that door. This guy is a genius, with his tip I get easily like 12.000 souls in only 2 minutes !!! Now I have leveled up and skiller my strength and dexterity enough to hold the black knight sword, and I fuckin pwn all the enemies !!

[marcellobello2]

@marshel87 Buy the "Crest of Artorias" from Blacksmith Andrei for only 20000 souls...

[Biggswb]

and great vid btw will help a lot thx :D

[Biggswb]

the vid plainly states where to get it and what you need to get it, watch the vid and dont be lazy :p

[stehill2822]

How do you open the big door to enter were this is done :( plz reply :)

[luizbelicelidad]

[juuwtuub]
