anyone else giggle everytime the fire keeper tells you to "touch the darkness inside of me" she's a dirty girl ;)

Anor Londo: From the bonfire shoot the red eyed silver knight ONCE and he'll fall trying to get to you yielding you 4,500 souls without any soul boost in approximately 10 seconds (Could take more than 10 seconds if he refuses to jump). 27,000 a minute, 1,620,000 an hour.

The 'rapport' pyromancy is the best for the winged knight one. It makes them friendly to you and fight each other.

3:14 is perfect. never thought of that one

Just farm for Proofs of Concord Kept. Got millions souls before one drop

Since I've seen quite a few people asking: Head: Fallen Knight Chest: Dragonscale Gloves: Abyss Watchers Legs: Lorians Sword: Dark Sword Shield: Shield of Want Greataxe: Dragonslayer As far as locations go: Fallen Knight Armor is found in the road of sacrifice shortly before reaching the ladder than leads down to Farron Keep Abyss Watchers can be bought at the Shrine Handmaid aber killing the boss with the same name. Dragonscale can be bought at the Shrine Handmaid after killing the Nameless King. Lorians can be bought at the Shrine Handmaid after killing the Twin Princes. Dark Sword is a random drop from Darkwraiths (earliest one is in high wall of lothric and can be reached after getting a pale tongue and reaching the undead settlement bonfire near the pyro teachers sell or before even killing Vordt if you just kill Ringfinger Leonhard since he drops the key - you will however miss out on a soul that can be transmuted into a miracle (useful for the miracle achievement) as well as the Applaud gesture if you do this) Shield of Want is one of the first items you can see in the water once you enter the Smouldering Lake. And you get the Dragonslayer Greataxe by transmuting the Dragonslayer Armours soul.

when i first started out, one of my favorite farming spot was to drop kill the large rat in the sewer by the dilapidated bridge. It drops 500 souls with the occasional consumable soul, and the walk back is super fast. climb back up and repeat. Its not a lot of souls, but early game its pretty useful.

There are 4 items to increase your yield on souls 1. Silver covetous ring 2. Shield of Want 3. Symbol of Avarice 4. Mendicants Staff I don't use Sorcery, but when I kill a big enemy I switch to my weapon to Mendicant staff before the enemy's souls are absorbed and it gives the extra 20% bonus. This works great for the enemy described at 3:16

4:00 hey look, Dark Souls simulator in the dark souls, except you don't die, only that poor guy

I remember seeing this and thinking "wow that's a lot of souls!" Now I'm like it just aint enough jo

You forgot to equip that Symbol of Avarice.

WAIT THATS A SHORTCUT FOR PONTIFF SULAVAHN? FUCK ME I NEVER USED THAT

Just use rapport on the golden winged knights

I like farming the 3 silver knights at the bonfire by the top of that rotating elevator; it's about 11,500 in souls plus 99% of the time they all drop items whether its silver knight armor pieces, large titanite, or titanite shards. A sweep of the 3 enemies takes about 2 minutes and you're never far from the bonfire so there's no need to worry about losing your souls or getting invaded and having to travel all the way back to your souls if you die. I have timed myself and when I got really good I could do a loop in a minute and fifteen seconds and I'd be back at the bonfire to reset the enemies. Its about 100,000 souls every 12 minutes!

what about the 3 silver Knights atop of anor londo?

Its weird nobody mentions this spot but.. I like to farm the small area just outside Yhorm's room. Go to his bonfire and run straight out, kill 4x handmaidens that yield 900 souls each I think without any bonuses, they also have a high drop rate on their daggers, sold for 1000 souls each. After killing the 4 maidens straight ahead of the bonfire, turn around and go left to the closest room with 4 more handmaidens and one gargoyle (Gargoyles give 2500 souls before bonuses, and also drop their weapons that can be sold for 800 more souls, medium droprate) After this go to the opposite room with 6 handmaidens I believe and one more gargoyle, kill them and return to bonfire. This run takes me about 2 minutes depending on how fast I can kill the gargoyles and yields 18600 souls before any bonuses or selling any of the weapon drops. Its also super easy since the handmaidens are squishy and does little to no damage!

Years later I want to add that the farming at Archdragon Peak is actually so safe that you can equip the Mimic Head for even more souls. Since the Knight will rarely have any chance of fighting back, the Drain if 10 HP per second isnt really all that bad.

He forgot to mention the Dark Wraiths also drop the Pale Tongue covenant item, which are also worth farming for in the process if you’re going for the Covenant trophies/achievements. Btw, there’s also 2 Knights right by the Lothric Castle bonfire to make farming Sunlight medals a little less time consuming too. I think farming Covenant items are 99% of the reason players grind. 😑

When it comes to the Drakeblood farming, every first knight yields twice as many souls so if you return to the bonfire outside and rest between each kill you lose a few seconds but get that delicious double soul boost from every single kill. Including the symbol of avarice and swapping your right hand weapon to the medicant staff when you kill them, you'll get another 70% extra souls. Even the health loss of avarice isn't a problem when you rest between each kill. This earns you a total of 20760 souls per kill if I remember right.

Also for the drakeblood knight in Archdragon Peak, the first time you kill it, you get 10000 souls. Every subsequent spawn only yields 5400. However, if you run back to the bonfire after every kill, you'll get 10k every time. It's actually faster than letting them spawn.

This is my first souls game and I'm loving it. Nearing the end and I'm trying to push my SL up to 120 as quickly as possible so that I can finish out my build and buy everything that I want to transfer into NG+. This guide is awesome, thanks so much!

This is really great and it's not glitching or cheating which is awesome

Top of Lothric Castle, use Rapport on the 3 winged knights, then watch them fight to the death, with Shield of want, serpent ring, and averice symbol, they give 25k per kill. Also before you step off of the elevator, make sure it does back down, so that when you go back to the bonfire(grand archieves) via homeward bone or coiled sword fragment, you dont have to pull the lever to bring it back down. Remember, to activate the grand archieves short cut, before attempting this(the aforementioned elevator)

The items that increase souls dropped are the covetous silver serpent ring (+10%), the shield of want (+20%), the mendicant staff (+20%, rare drop from the summoners in Archdragon Peak) and the symbol of avarice (+50%, rare chance of being dropped by any mimic, must be farmed with undead hunter charms). With all of these combined you can reach an outrageous +137,6% of souls dropped. For exemple, the knights summoned in Archdragon Peak, who have the very good idea of giving you plenty of time to switch to the mendicant staff between the moment they die and the moment they grant you souls, will provide a solid 9504 souls per kill with the full combo of items. EDIT : Contrary to what I wrote before, the symbol of avarice does not have 100% drop chance from the last mimic, so keep one mimic alive if you want to farm it. UPDATE : With the release of The Ringed City DLC you can now get the covetous silver serpent ring +3 in NG, which grants a bonus of +35% of souls dropped. Thus if you own this DLC you can now get a ridiculous +191.6% (or *2.916) of souls dropped by combining the four items mentioned above, without even having to reach NG+2.

For the Grand Archives roof you can attune Invisible Body and Rapport and when you run up the steps to where the Ascended Winged Knights drop down, hide in the building and cast Invisible Body immediately, then Rapport one of the knights on the left (from the perspective of someone inside the little room at the top, facing out the door.) They'll kill each other and I'd you're real lucky the third one will join in too. With the Shield of Want, Silver Serpent Ring and Symbol of Avarice equipped, killing all three knights nets over 75K per run, and if you have an upgraded bow and use Invisible Body in conjunction with corner cover, you can kill the last one without it even aggroing on you. If you get good and Homeward Bone back to the fire after the third one dies (you'll be able to afford all the Homeward Bones you could ever want and they won't even make a dent,) you can grab that 75K souls in about 3-5 minutes and it's extremely easy. I went from level 99 to 148 in just a couple hours of playtime, doing other stuff in between runs when I felt like going.

The lothric knights right after the dancer fight give a bunch of souls

I just farm the Silver Knights in Anor Londo, they're literally the easiest enemies to get around. Just walk left or right as soon as the spear one spots you because he'll always charge at you, you'll end up right behind him. For the two sword wielders, just wait for them to rush you with their slam attacks, you can walk around them too

YES HES BACK WOO HOO. I missed tutorials like these.

I remember in DS2 you could farm the Giant Lord so easy. Wish they used bonfire ascetics in 3 as well.

Also you can wear symbol of avarice with bountiful sunlight, you'll get extra souls, and you wont be losing any hp

I found that the 3 Silver Knights before Aldritch was a very good spot, on regular NG, with just the Silver Serpent Ring, they drop around 2500, then the red eye version gives about 4000. If you can kill them fast, then this area is amazing.

Better tactic: (because I love you) -Equip Mendicants' staff, a bow, shield of want, silver serpent ring, helm of avarice -Anor Londo bonfire -From the bonfire (before the stairs) aim your bow at the red eyed knight that spawns on the right side of the castle (facing the castle) and fire -the timing is super easy when you get the hang of it -The knight will agro and try to run toward you, then stop standing on the ledge of the balconey -switch to mendicants staff -the knight falls off trying to turn around -9500 souls (pretty much 10k) The whole process is less than 30 seconds long, you're right next to a bonfire, and only costs 1 arrow. Sometimes the knight doesn't fall, just hit the bonfire and try again, it's most likely to work. I'll accept your thanks in advance

I farmed around the Abyss Watchers' fight for about an hour, so now I have 21 Vigor, 17 endurance, 19 Vitality, and 25 strength. I beat the Crystal Sage after so much rage of almost killing it and then failing. Then I fought the abyss watchers, somehow beat them first try, and dumped everything into their armor and weapon. And now it's time to dump 9 levels into Dexterity so I can wield the boss weapon and become an Abyss watcher myself. Yeah if you couldn't tell I'm doing a strength build but also really like the Abyss Watchers.

these are my favorite spot soul farming beside what shown in this video 1. anor londo bonfire. this spot has 3 silver knight with one of them is the red eye ver. i use only covetous silver ring and on NG, the normal knights drop 2200 souls and the red eye one drops 4400 souls (CMIIW). they also guaranteed drop titanite shards and sometimes large titanite. also they can drop their armor set as well as their shield. you might want to sell those things if you already like in mid or end game cuz extra souls would be welcomed 2. yhorm the giant bonfire. this spot has 3 gargoyles and a lot of those casters. ther gargoyle are pretty easy to stagger with heavy weapons and usually you can one shot those casters with enough dmg. i forgot how much souls they dropped but its still pretty good farm spot. also the gargoyle will drop their weapon and you can sell them too if you want. 3. champion gundyr bonfire. this spot has 3 black knights and each of them i think drop aroun 2000 or 4000 souls. they also drop their armor and weapons very frequent although its not guarantee drop each run. 4. the whole grand archives. believe me, other than the lothric knights and few gargoyles (dont count the winged knights), this spot is pretty good spot and you always guaranteed ended up at that elevator which takes you to the very first bonfire. this is just a bonus if you already open all the shortcuts and basically just wanna get super exploring as well as maybe to get the flameberge and the thrall set.

You honestly have the best walkthroughs, you're very straight forward and descriptive. Thank you very much

A good one for really early on in the game is the Dipilated Bridge where the giant rat is. Drop attack the rat and it's two little rats and you'll get 545 souls per run. This is less than an hour into the game.

The last farming location you mentioned was spot on, but it's even better than 100k-150k every 10 minutes. I was there today and managed to hit 1 million souls in 40 minutes, or 250k every 10 min, so I can definitely recommend anyone else to farm the three fat dudes.

If you have the DLC, and if you're using all soul boosting items. Go to the bonfire before the Gael fight when you leave bank hard left and you'll fined a solo ringed knight, killing him gives you 31k souls per kill, use homeward bone and you can average 31k a min, and around 330k every 10. Hope this helps late game farming.

Grand Archives bonfire, elevator shortcut. Instead of going across the giant walkway to the Princes, turn around and go behind you. Equip Symbol of Avarice, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, and the Shield of Want. Kill the three golden winged knights. You just received over 78,000 souls in a matter of minutes. Rinse and repent. The absolute best method.

The BEST location (mostly gone now)was the grand archive elevator and being summoned o fight the three npcs there. I got 3million souls in under half an hour by being summoned NON STOP each round gave me 35.000 souls... Get summoned, fuck up the npcs and black stone back home to be summoned again. I was laughing my ass off.

My favorite spot is the Archdragon Peak bonfire. Kill the four man-serpents closest to the bonfire, rest and repeat. With Avarice, Want, and serpent ring you get about 12k to 13k souls per run and each round takes about 30 seconds.

Please note if you switch to the mendicant staff after killing an enemy you will get 20% more souls even if you didn’t have it during the fight

even the 2 silver knight near anor londo bonefire are good to farm with ring, shield and mimic head you can get almost 10k souls in like 30 second

if you are having trouble with the Knights. use rapport on them

You should've mentioned the area before the boss Yorm, the giant. Every fire nun gives you around 1.2k and they're easy peezy to kill and there's plenty. And there's also 3 fire gargulas by them and they give 3.3k each. You can make 30-40k every 5 minutes

I just got into ds3, i am EXTREMELY late, however, on the off chance that someone new is also watching this: Anor Londo - with shield of want i get 16,000 souls every 5 mins, for more early to mid game since it is after Pontiff in Irithyll Just lure out the spear silver knight and fight him, then the sword guy, then walk left and theres another red eyed sword guy, all are easy since they move slow, good luck

Thanks to you, TerraMantis - I found a way to get 100,000 souls per minute! Credit given where credit is due :)

I farm the anor londo bonfire there are two silver knights up the stairs you can kill them to get 12000 each kill and they are very easy to kill amd will always spawn back (its good because the bomfire is directly mext to the stairs)

Best farming spot is first bonfire in Archdragon Peaks. 1 soul spear to kill the 2 enemies in front (it always hit both if you stand in the correct spot), 1 soul spear to kill the one to the left, reset. 140,000 souls every minute in NG+.

Best spot for me is do a round through the lower grand archives. Killing all the wax guys and backstab the knight on the balcony then return back down the elevator to the bonfire. It's around 40-50k each run but you can turn your brain off and watch a show next to it.

My personal Spot is the Anor Londor Bonfire with the 3 Silver knights. Something around 17/18k every 30-40 Seconds + they have a 100% chance to drop something + they have a chance for the darkmoon covenant item + they are easy to defeat.

I like the vendrick reference in the shield of wants description

A tip for the last farming spot: the pyromancy rapport works on then. and great vid i did not rly know of the other spots. subbed :)

When you are coming out of Yhorms arena, to the left is a room with a Gargoyle and 8 maids, to the right is one Gargoyle and 4 maids, right in front of Yhorms arena is a room with 4 maids and then after the room to the right upstairs on the bridge is one gargoyle. If you kill all of these guys you get 20.000 souls in like 5 min.

I usually farm at the dragon barracks underneath the bridge. The two corruptions give 34560 souls each run. Using the symbol of avarice, shield of want and covetous silver serpent ring. I'm ng+ though but I get around 23,5 k a minute and it's very easy if you stagger them with fire.

What armor combination is this? It looks awesome !

A tip for the last one, if you use Rapport (a Pyromancy) the winged knights just fight each other and wont fight back if you attack them so it becomes really easy and I found that in new game they give about 100,000 souls per run if you use the covetous silver serpent ring +3, shield of want, symbol of avarice and the mendicants staff so it's pretty much the best farming spot in the game.

I've found one of the more beneficial farming locations for embers and souls is Champion Gundyr's bonfire, you just draw the black knights to the gate and can easily dispatch them (since they won't cross to the boss arena) with chaos bed vestiges and black fire orb if you've a pyro build, as well as pestilent mist and any ranged strong miracle/spell if you're a caster, though I've found they're weaker to fire (and pestilent mist is a cheat code lol). Since pestilent mist does damage depending on the enemy's HP, it's insanely effective, it usually takes me half a minute per black knight and I've farmed 2 embers, as well as black knights equipment and around 40k souls with silver covetus ring +3 in like, 5 minutes. This has worked great for me with my NG+6 run.

Hi Steve.

I'd recommend Anor Londo as well. The 3 Silver Knights not so far from the bonfire. If I remember correctly I'd gain around 11000 souls per run with Silver Serpent Ring equipped. And it should take 1-2 mins for one round, it's quite good.

Or roll through the mages in grand archives for 100k every 3-4 mins with low risk kills :)

My best farming way was this: Attune Rapport pyromancy (if you have 15 intelligence at least), use it to charm one of the Angel knights in Grand Archives rooftops, let him fight the other one. Whoever will survive the fight, will have less enough healthbar to get one shotted. Then charm the third one, use backstabs and he’ll go down without landing a hit. This way I managed to get 300K souls in every 10 minutes with almost no difficulty, it was insane.

Medicant's staff also increases souls gained by 20%

I found a good farming place the first bonfire in anor londo at the bottom of the steps look to the right and you will see a silver knight equip a bow and hit it with an arrow, it will run to the edge of the cliff its standing on and fall off, sometimes it takes 1-3 arrows but on standard game you get 4k souls per kill and just rest at the bonfire lather rinse repeat. I found this as I was trying to farm proofs of a concord kept but came up empty handed.. managed to get over 100k souls in under 10mins and over 400k in an hour

For an added bonus, the Winged Knights atop the grand archives are hyper weak to Frostbite. Helps speed things up.

I also recommend yorms bonfire, it gets you 20k every clear of whats outside the rooms , its just gargoyles and maids they're quite easy

Just farm souls on Anor Londo bonfire with the rings. kill the 3 silver knights for ez souls and maybe drops the darkmoon covenant item too.

A good way to farm the Winged Knights is to get 15 int and get rapport and then run in and rapport the lone Winged Knight on the left, kill him and then hurry and rapport the other halberd wielding knight. If you did it fast enough the other knights should go at it and you should be able to kill them pretty easily while they're fighting

Bro awesome video nice editing and everything bro wow I’m mind blown. People don’t know how much work goes into these but I appreciate it

Dude. Most folk need this in the early game. So the rats in the village and then clear out the area the giant shoots with his arrows. At the chapel where Siegward is in the well you can kill the worshippers and run around the worm guys for about 3.5k a turn. Then inside Lothric castle you can bait the 3 knights then run up killing everything before the dragons for over 20k each run. Just get 30 Int and cheese the dancer then sprint past everyone to the bonfire. By the time you have enough levels for 30 int you'll have a couple of tongues to take off your build for the dancer then put it back on once you've beat her.

Anor Londo is definitely the best place, each knight gives 2500 souls and you can lure them right next to the bonfire do dying isn't even an issue as you Cam retrieve your souls straight away. They also drop something every time without fail.

1:54 those things are terrifying D:

I always Just spawned at the Anor Londo bonfire, killed the three silver knights over and over again. got about a few thousand Souls a kill. thanks for the vid, really helped! gratz on so many views!

Location summary: 1:08 Farron Keep, Abyss Watchers bonfire, the ghrus and darkwraiths killing each other. ~2,000 souls/min. 1:42 Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, Distant Mansion bonfire, the sewer centipedes in the first room of the sewer. ~9,000 souls/min. 2:11 Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, Church of Yorshka bonfire, the route of knights. ~3,600 souls/min plus titanite shards. 3:13 Archdragon Peak, Dragon-Kin Mausoleum bonfire, the drakeblood knights summoned by the man serpent summoner. ~10,000-20,000 souls/min with a powerful enough weapon. 4:44 Grand Archive, top of the elevator, the three winged knights. Up to ~12,000 souls/min plus large titanite shards.

pff, spawn-camper.

I used to desperately want to find large titanite shards. I was following the early +10 weapon tutorial when I first started. Then after I defeated the dancer of boreal valley early and got to the upper lothric castle, they're just completely common now. I have nearly 200 large titanite shards.

For Solo is Grand Archives BigBoi Angels, you play backstab and easy peasy. If you play with a friend who wants to farm too, Archdragon, kill that knight and your pal will do same with the Rapier guy spawning near the Nameless King Boss. Use the shield+mimichead+serpentring3+change your weapon to the staff the serpents use to spawn this guys, it's 11k each kill so you and your friend generating 22k each 6 seconds. This overwhelms any other farming spot in the game. Cheersssssss

In case someone will read it, if you want to farm souls in the most efficient way, you'll have to invest a bit in magic to get a Rapport pyromancy. It basically forces an enemy to fight for you. You go on top of the roof with 3 winged knights, immediately rapport the closest one (there should be 2 that drop from the tower really close to each other) and then go take care of the third one while these 2 figure out which one of them will be killed later when you finish off the third one. On NG+5 I was farming around 800k souls per 10 minutes this way, 150k per run / per 1,5 minutes, but it doesn't always go as planned

You actually missed a really amazing farming location there. If you start at the first Archdragon Peak bonfire, there are four man-serpents there that are very easy to take out and yield a shitton of souls, with the bonfire very near by to reset quickly. They also drop large titanite shards in about 80% of cases (not measured, just by feeling) and have a pretty decent drop rate for chunks, too. Pop a rusted coin, strap on that symbol of avarice and get farming. Just thought I'd let you and everyone else know about that :)

You forgot the best one yet Farm the 3 silver knights in Anor Londo. In your first playthrough, the 2 lesser knights yield 2500 souls each, and a guaranteed drop (titanite shard, large titanite shard, gear, darkmoon covenant item). The other knight gives 4000 souls, and same drops. In NG+, they drop 3x the souls (7500 & 12000).

I usually do this run: In Irithyll of the boreal Valley, Anor Londo bonfire, go through spinning tower, activate it, and exit at the bottom that will lead to the roofs. From there, kill the 6 silver knights, go to the "garden" area, kill the 9 Priest that shoot fire falls and the 2 giants. This run will earn you 168k souls in about 4/5 minutes if you use the ring/shield feature in the video and with the symbol of avarice. Then just use a homeward bone or go to the Puntiff Sulyvahn bonfire to repeat the cycle.

The absolute best farming location when you are at the endgame is by far Anor Lando bonfire. You get Shield of Want, the ring (+3 if you have DLC) and Symbol of Avarice. Then you just go and kill the 2 Silver Knights, and run back to bonfire. 10k+ souls every 30 seconds. For killing them, you can easily do that with pretty much any build at this point. I prefer either pyromancy (2 black fire orbs and they're done) or STR with Vorth Great Hammer (2 hits). + You get a shit ton of titanite shards and Silver Knight Armor Set items

The symbol of avarice greatly increases your souls acquired. It decreases health but way worth it

I do like 300-360k souls every 10 minute at the Archdragon Peak Bonfire killing those 2 long neck monster (With Shield/Ring- Drops 2950 souls). Literally lock-in & one-shot both of them with only Black Fire Ball spell in just 4-5 seconds total (40 int/faith). Then take 2 second to bonfire. So it only took me like 6-8 second just to farm 6k souls. It's both safe & fast. Therefore more than this infinite knight spawn, but that is if you don't do pyromance.

I'm a bit late, just started playing this game. Instead of number 2-3, you can farm profane capital. On your way to Yhorm, there's a few white robe cultist and some flying rock thing with a spear. The path is quite simple, go down the ladder, cross the bridge. Go inside and jump down to attack the 4 cultist on your left. The flying rock will have landed in front of the hallway to yhorm, kill it. After that, kill the 4 around the fire cauldron (the one shooting at you when you were on the bridge). Make your way to the last spot where there's a lot of cultist, you have time to kill 1-2, pull the flying rock that just landed back where the fire cauldron is. He will get stuck at the door, kill the remaining white culist coming through. Kill the flying rock. Make your way back to the initial bridge and kill the last flying rock. Over 21k (no buff) in less than 4minutes. Not the best, but it's a fun rotation.

Thank GOD This video exists!

I got killing those three Angles almost down to a minute each run, best spot but a pain if you fuck it up.

Just put points into vitality instead of strength so thats why im here

Anor Londor - Farm the 2 Silver Knights there for a decent amount. Equip The Shield of Want, Silver Serpent Ring, and the Mimic Head for increased soul drop. Mimic head doubles the spot as a Large Titanite farm as a bonus

Dude , if you are good at pvp ... go to pontiff's bonfire and get to the pvp area ... spawn two friends ( allies ) and wait for invaders to spawn and smash them ( you must have aldrich alive for this ) . Its fun , easy , and gets you alot of souls ... i got like ... ~1M souls .

Lotric castle bonfire, you make more there in less than 10 mins.

If you are too early in the game for these areas, the bon fire at Yhorm the giant is good. There are around 16 jailor Handmades and three Headless Gargoyles to take out. All together it is around 31770 souls. These enemies are not too difficult and the other perk here is that there is a high drop rate for hand made daggers(+1000 sl), gargoyle flame hammers and flame spears (+800 sls each) so that is a lot of loot to sell, also they drop a ton of rusted coins.

Okay I know this was so long ago but, this man helped me get 10mil+ souls this was baller for it's time

The first good spot i found with Magic build was the Keep Ruins bonfire, just turn around and farm the 3 Elder Ghrus, just lure them with an arrow, with the Symbol of abarice you get about 3.7k each, best part is that this is early in the game.

In Cleansing Chapel, if you have a fire weapon, it's quite lucrative to kill those monsters behind the chapel. There are 4 of them, each give 600 souls and have a good chance of dropping a soul that can be used for 400 more souls. It's better than around the Abyss Watchers, in my opinion.

Dark Souls is so freakin intense man. Had to take a break from it to calm my nervs.

The three winged knights by the Grand Archives elevator. 100k souls every 5 minutes.

A little tip for anyone going to the Grand Archives to farm, invest some sufficient points into the required stat to use the Rapport pyromancy, it really helps with dealing with the winged knights since you can make one of them your ally and deal with the other while you pacify the last one and keep backstabbing him, he'll never aggro on you, if you are having trouble with cast time be sure to have a spot available to equip the Sage ring.
