The knights, while tough, drop a decent amount of souls, as well as their armor, weapons, and other items like Ember or Titanite Shards. Once defeated, use his Bonfire to quickly run up the long courtyard towards High Priestess Emma, and kill the four Lothric Knights who patrol the courtyard. If you know of great places to farm, share them with us by editing the page or letting us know in the comments!Ī good early place to get plenty of souls and the chance for powerful items is right after defeating Vordt of the Boreal Valley. The following sections will detail ideal spots to farm both items and souls at various stages in the game. There are a few places in the world you can obtain a finite amount, but the only other place to obtain them is by defeating the Handmaids in the Profaned Capital outside of Yhorm the Giant's boss room - and even then it is a rare drop.
However, for late game farming, you'll either want to be sure to upgrade the weapon so it can actually damage enemies, or wield it in the off-hand instead of the Shield of Want, while using your main weapon to kill enemies. Simply wielding the weapon will raise your Item Discovery stat, making it great for farming.
This helm boosts your Item Discovery Rate - but at the cost of constantly draining health. Every Mimic you meet has a chance to drop it, but the last Mimic left in the game should drop it regardless - if you haven't found it before then.
