Best XP farm on NG+?

[Steven of Astora]

So I'm nearing the end of my achievement hunt. But I'm still a good 20+ skill point away from filling out the techniques for the achievement. Whats the best farming route for efficiency that I can semi AFK? Looks like this one is gonna be a real grind honestly.

At the very end of the game you can kill that purple guy that replaces blue samurai on the first sculpture you get access to. He gives 2 k xp at that point and you can sneak up to him easily.

Two white monkeys on snake temple give a lot but you are in danger there.


I wish they could be a way to spend money on getting more skillpoints.
I'm in Ng+2 and I have so many moneybags that I could probably reach over 100k

Another nice spot i found, but not sure if it is more time efficient than the purple ninja, is in Mibu Manor. The lightning dogs near the bonfire are easily killed with shuriken and there are quite a few. YMMV

i like the spot before the bridge that the giant carp destroys in fountainhead palace. there's 2 flute dudes and the spear chick. you can take them all out in less than 20 seconds.

on first play through they were giving me 1700 xp and like 300 sen. dunno how much it would be in ng+

I’ll give these a try thanks. Something tells me it’s gonna take a VERY long time to get this achievement. Ng+++ and the amount of xp needed for a single level is ridiculous. Something tells me they didn’t really think this one through.

It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ achievement design, imo. At least the ones in their previous games were somewhat interesting, even if grindy.

good end game farming spot is from where you first fought the chained ogre, you can backstab a bunch of guys in like 1 minute

Like getting X amount of invasion rewards that VERY RARELY drop from few mobs?
I still prefer playing the game normally in sekiro then grinding for hours on hours on same two enemies for a rare drop item.

I'm entirely convinced this achievement is a sick and cruel joke from the devs. The divine dragon boss didn't even give me an entire level up worth of XP. Still 30+ levels to go...

inb4 after you finish grinding the achievement, they add a DLC memory with easy enemies that give massively more XP than any other enemies in the base game that are extremely easy to farm, lol.

It's honestly easier to just go through consecutive NG's and gain xp that way.
I got up to NG+4 by the time I collected enough XP to get all skills. (Also, you need more then one ending to get it as you get different skills from different endings. )

Because collecting every single ring across multiple playthroughs in Dark Souls 3 was interesting. Totally.

I myself go to the Mibu Manor shrinie, kill the noble in the hall, immediately turn left, then kill the one left of the house and the one of the bridge go back an reset. They die easy even if you get discovered and you get a couple k xp in less than 15 secs.

This.

Like, seriously? Is anyone seriously going to say they had more fun farming crows in Painted World for hours than they did running the Ashina Outskirts - Stairway? At worst it's the same thing all over again. Dark Souls 1 had a lot of grindy achievements, like farming mats to grind out every weapon type, farming covenant items, etc.

It's really not that bad. I kind of messed up by spending about 15 skill points on the Dragon Mask, so I'll have to grind them out now, later down the line, which won't be fun.

If you're going for this achievement, I strongle recommend that you at least do it on an NG+ run, farming the Ashine Outskirts - Stairway all the way to the bridge and idol back. The run takes a couple of minutes if you do it well and rewards like.. 15K experience per run on NG+. I farmed about 8-9 skill points in about an hour at my extreme high level while watching the news and drinking coffee this morning.

You can just grind when you've got a bit of time where you aren't busy doing anything else.
