Boss souls?

[PawPatrolFan101YT]

Hello everyone I'm doing my first playthrough I've acquired a good amount of boss souls does anyone know how to use them? Also can someone help me fight atrorius?

If you consume their Souls you will get many souls to upgrade or level up, also, you can use that souls craft weapons with the giant blacksmith upgrading specific weapons to have the bosses weapons

[TheAlmightySunBro, Silkaire]

You should save them. You can speak to a Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo to make boss weapons.

Certain regular weapons can be combined with the boss souls to create special boss weapons. The weapons you combine the souls with must be level 10. What weapons are needed for which soul is needlessly trial and error, so consult a wiki for the specifics.

save them, you will need them for an achievement

Boss Souls are either used at certain blacksmiths to ascend normal weapons into boss or special weapons (just so you know, it doesn't automatically mean they're good for your character. It will have to depend on your build).

Or you can just consume them like normal souls items for a lot of souls.

Or just keep them in the inventory like trophies.

I'd personally always advice against consuming boss souls like normal soul items.
farming souls is about the easiest thing you can do in the game. meanwhile getting a boss soul is once per ng cycle only.

In every Souls game, it is best to keep your boss's souls unless you are certain you do not need their weapons or spells.
In most soul games you can trade boss souls for weapons and or spells.

If you want to 100% DS1R you also need to transform ALL boss souls into their weapons.

To obtain all the weapons, you need to kill some bosses twice, and one boss needs to be killed thrice.

Also, the soul reward best Spot is likely NG+ phalanx enemies with magic or fire dmg AOE spell+soul gain items and if possible wearing a mimic head and with certain builds, you can overkill them for an extra 20% souls.

So in short you can farm souls very fast likely in sub 5 minutes you can get more souls than consuming a boss soul.
But you can get only one boss souls per NG cycle.

Boss weapons, or Frampt can swap some of them for more souls than you would get for using them....NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS, double check the wiki before handing them over so you know if you're gaining or losing souls and also ouble check if you plan to give them to Frampt, as you will need to go into NG+ to get them again to make them into weapons.

Moonlight butterfly for example: Souls gained: 1,200 from using. 8,000 from feeding to Frampt. Where as the Soul of Ornstein gives 12,000 souls when consumed. 8,000 souls from feeding to Frampt. Smough is even worse Gives 12,000 souls when consumed. Gives only 1 soul when fed to Frampt.
