black gulch soul of giant farming

[Em, who studies chem]

is it still possible to get extra souls of giants by using an ascetic on the black gulch mouth bonfire or has this been patched already?

[brumey]

ehmm.. why should this get patched? this isnt a bug or glitch! ist intended

[Drybonz]

I just posted the same question. Why are you saying it's intended? It's always been possible in the past.

[Em, who studies chem]

I tried using one on mouth and then killing the giants (or atleast one of them and using the quit and reload glitch to get the soul) but it didn't drop. I'm gonna try killing both and see what happens.

[Em, who studies chem]

ok, no more souls of giants from using an ascetic on black gulch mouth. Has anyone tried it on the second bonfire?

[Drybonz]

I'm just wondering if this was changed so there aren't a bunch of people burning ascetics and wasting them trying to get it to work. I don't remember seeing anything in the last patch notes about it, but maybe I missed it.

Meh I find it easier just to kill venrick with the default amount of souls anyway. He's not that hard, just has a lot of HP.

ok, gonna try to kill vendrick with four souls, wish me luck

** You dont actually need any Giant Souls to fight Vendric**

If you summon a phantom or get invaded by a person with the giant souls they will count toward lowering his defences just as if you had them yourself.

As pro as I'm sure you are, this is about whether or why there was a change in the game.
