Magic focused players should also keep circling the Old Knight or keep some distance and then shoot their flurry of Soul Arrows where appropriate.Ĭrafty players might consider using the environment to deal with the enemies but must be careful not to fall off the platforms. If you’re a melee player, keep circling them with your shield up and wait until that third attack before you launch on the offensive. There is also a chance that they’ll throw in an extra thrusting attack so keep on your toes. They have a 3 tier attack which is: swing left to right, swing right to left and then an overhead swing. They’re slow, dumb but pack one hell of a punch with their weapons. Let’s begin. Your primary enemy in this area is the Old Knight.
Do not burn a Bonfire Ascetic unless you feel confident enough with your weapons and abilities as it will make the area a lot tougher to play through. Keep that in mind for future soul farming attempts as they will certainly help out. They’re not necessary at all to farm but they do help you get a lot more souls. This is where we’ll start the farming fun.īefore you begin any farming, it might be best to burn a Bonfire Ascetic and equip the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring. However, it’s best not to confront him just yet so head right, and go down another smaller staircase to light the bonfire. When you reach Heide’s Tower, head down the staircase and you’ll come to your first Old Giant enemy. Since Heide’s Tower serves as an alternate starting point to the Forest of Fallen Giants, you’ll find a lot of low quality starter equipment here but you can also find a lot of decent soul releasing enemies that can be taken down easily with a bit of patience and persistence.
