Can you still farm giant souls from black gulch?

[Pickles]

If I use a bonfire ascetic on the first bonfire and kill those giants underneath will they drop another one? Thanks

[ennui]

Yeah you can

[Pickles]

thanks

[Pickles]

Just tried it, doesn't work -_-, guess i'll kill ancient dragon

memory of jeigh or w/e it is makes for the best soul farming, that i know of anyway. put on tes gear and i used to get around 450k a run. run up the first little platform on the left, get bonfire aesthetic, wait for the big statue giant head to roll down and squish everything. go up and kill the giant boss. rinse, repeat..

no you can't and neither via memory of jeigh; either dragon or in next playthrough

You misunderstood. OP wants giant souls to fight Vendrick, not souls farming.

He didn't misunderstand. That's how you farm Giant Lord for his Giant Soul. There's a Bonfire Aesthetic at the start. The statue always rolls down. Then you go fight him. You're going to get a bunch of souls on top of the Giant Soul every time.

Pretty sure you only get the Giant Lord's boss soul that way. The giant soul in discussion here, is located at the corpse of the giant right after the boss fight. That soul does not respawn if you use bonfire ascetics.

Lashan was right, op wants giant souls for the vendrick fight, sadly they made it so you can only get 1 giant soul from each source once per playthrough, there are no more tricks for ez giant souls unfortunately

He'd have to farm Ancient Dragon then if the Giants in the Gulch don't drop Giant Souls after burning an aesthetic to respawn them. Is AD still farmable or is that patched?

ya Lashan was right. i did misread OP. Lashan was also correct in you get the giant memory soul once off that dead giant in the room, left hand side, behind the giant boss that you can farm for souls. the giant you farm gives you just like a normal soul worth 25k, but not the giant soul OP meant.

silly me.

I killed him with 4 souls in the end, it's doable if you just stay behind his left leg without rolling. Ancient Dragon is way harder than doing Vendrick with 4 souls so it's not worth it imo.

[Flair]

Anicent Dragon can be cheesed, so then both bosses are pretty easy

[svatem1]

Vendrick is super easy with rapier +10 and e.g. rob and "only" 4 souls; it's one of the easiest boss figths
