Awestone Farming

[Mailbek]

I'd like to get 50 for the Vanquisher's Seal so I can do an unarmed run. Thanks in advance.

Edit: SL is 90,000

That's actually really funny, I'm doing the same atm.

Obviously, be part of the CoC.
Grave of Saints. Get 1 Bonfire Ascetic. Start offline. Kill the invader Rhoy(?) (spawn-time: When you climb the ladder; spawn-point just next to the second bonfire). He'll drop 1-2 Awestones every time you kill him. Now kill the area boss, the rat fukkers. Back to the first bonfire: Burn the Ascetic. Congrats, now he keeps respawning whenever you rest at the second bonfire and backtrack to the ladder, climb it down and midway down up again. Farm him till you got your 50 Awestones.

Tip for defeating him: Have 10 Atn and 12 Fth and attune Force and wield any Chime.
Get a Pharros Lockstone. Just near the upper end of the ladder, there's a contraption which'll lower a bridge to the other side of the grave. Now whenever you climb down the ladder and up again, sprint on that bridge. Shortly after, the invader will catch up to you and you can easily kill him by knocking him off the bridge with Force-spam. Cheesy but easy.

Another way of farm I used a couple of months ago was killing bunch of times the cyclops hypo at the start of the forest of fallen giants. That dude drops kinda often the awestones (it took me like three hours to get the 50) The method of TrueArchery is the best tho but since you are in a low sm as I was then, maybe you don't feel the need to venture to the rat cave, but meh, that's just me thinking out loud.

Thank you both for the respones! I'll go ahead and try both methods out, one on my high SL character and the other on my low. Thanks again!

Alternative Farming: If you're having a bad time trying to get Lion Warrior Armor and just happen to be killing invisible humanoids; they drop awestones while you try to struggle for your lion warrior stuff.

farm old knights ,ruin sentinels
alternatively you can farm real random invaders but there are rare on your sm rather
there is lot of npc random invasions trough game. farm them

i get lot of awestones/humanities from doing fight club on iron bridge but you need around 500 000 sm and more

It's easy , but time intensive if rng hates you.( it took me about 3-4hs) I farmed 47 in drangleic castle infront of the looking glass knight boss fight. The other three were drops from invaders.

Burn a Bonfire Ascetic at the bonfire immediately before the Rat Vanguard boss room and farm Rhoy the Explorer by going down and up the ladder. NG+1 he will not stop respawning and invading, only one Bonfire Ascetic is needed.

You can attune Force and stand on one of the bridges to cheese him.

That isn't only reposted, but also wrong. You have to burn the Ascetic at the FIRST bonfire, not at the second.

[Uncle Draža]

The first bonfire is called Harvels resting place im pretty sure, make sure to do it there and NOT the one before the royal rat vanguard, found that out the hard way. If you dont have force, you can stunlock him off the bridge with R1 spam on a fast weapon, but he can do a lot of damage.

Really? I haven't tried it myself yet, so I didn't know. I read that on a few other sites.

Sorry for the misinformation.
