*Soul Form
*Ring of Avarice (optional)
*Whatever equipment is your choice
Method:
#Go to the area before the archdemon from the archstone
#Use blue eye stone
#When summoned, help destroy archdemon
#Get souls for the assist.
The Dragon God is rather easy as far as archdemons go. Though this could very well work for the 4-4 archdemon too. Archdemons yield lots of souls, plus you get to help someone else, and you don't need to be a high level, or have soulsucker or something like that.
1-3 Tower Knight Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
Soul Sucker Spell (required)
Catalyst (must be equipped in the right hand) (required)
At least 100 MP can also be achieved with boosting equipment
MP restoring equipment or consumables (optional)
Thief's ring (required)
Ring of avarice (required)
Method:
This super easy method is able to achieve around 9000+ souls per go in new game+
1. turn around and head towards the two blue eyed nights who will have their backs turned to you
2. as you need to perform a stealth attack for this to work ensure you slow down before the knight spots you
3. get close enough to the knight and use soul sucker with catalyst (right hand) this will instantly kill the target
3a. as the catalyst is in the right hand your character will take a step forward when executing the spell meaning you don't have to be right behind the targets
4. if need be utilise your MP restoring equipment/ consumables
5. Approach the second Blue eyed knight execute points 2 and 3
6. at this point you can either
6a. use the evacuate miracle
6b. kill the archers (low souls so not much point)
6c. turn around and head back to the archstone
Notes:
it may take a couple of tries for you to judge the correct distance behind the knights needed.
once you have perfected the method it can be executed in under 1.30
4-3 Old Hero Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
Necessary
*Soul Sucker Spell (with silver catalyst)
*Soul Form
*Decent Bow w/ arrows
*PBWT for world 4
Recommended
*Fresh/Old Spice
*Soul Thirst Spell
*Ring of Avarice
*Graverobber's Ring
*Silver Coronet
*Evacuate Miracle with Talisman of God/Talisman of Beasts
*99 Intelligence (If you have 99, bring a Crescent weapon, the Crescent Falchion +1 from 4-1 is fine)
*Silver Bracelets for females
*A second silver catalyst
Method:
First I assume you have already gotten PBWT for world 4 and are in soul form. If you are not, the quickest way to do this is to warp to 4-3 archstone and run out the the storm beasts at the world boss area, let them kill you. Use a stone of epheyes and repeat.
There are several ways to do this, the version you should take depends on your intelligence level. You must have at least 100 mp to even attempt this method.
Method 1 - Below 40 Intelligence
- In the Nexus, get equipped. Have the soul sucker and evacuate spell remembered and nothing else. In Left Hand slots, have a bow and a talisman. In your right hand, have two silver catalysts (In case you hit the right dpad button, you won't lose mp). Also be wearing the graverobber's ring, ring of avarice, silver bracelets, and silver coronet. Use heavy arrows from Patches (if you are frugal they definitely pay for themselves).
- Warp to Old Hero Archstone.
- Turn around and run back. Run through the slug area. Be careful until you know the route well enough to sprint through it. If you fall in, you may need to shoot your way out of there. Keep running back through the level until you hit some stairs. Look up and snipe the reaper at the top of the stairs. This usually takes about 4 hits.
- Keep running and enter the small hallway and stop. You may want to jog the first time just so you know what you are looking for. You will see the back of the Black Phantom Dual Katana Wielding Skeleton. Good thing you're behind him, huh? Since you are below 40 Intelligence, you should only have soul sucker.
There are two ways of getting him. If you lock on to him, move your character flush with the doorway right behind him. Take two walking steps forward and cast. If you go any farther you will alert him and you will be done for. The second way is to not lock on to him and manipulate the camera so you can both your character and the skeleton in profile. You want to be about 1 to 1.5 steps behind him. Any farther and you won't hit him, and closer and you die. Sometimes you will get lucky if you get too close and his katana attack will miss you and the spell will still kill him.
- Once you kill the first skeleton, jog along the path aiming for the fence on the right side. When you see the BP Gold Skeleton come into view, slow to a walk. Sneak up behind the near skeleton and cast soul sucker (you may have to replenish mp to do so). Once you cast, the other skeleton will turn around. Head backwards until the flag post. Refill any mana (you will need 150 mp from this point). Wait for the skeleton to turn around.
- Repeat what you did to the other two skeletons, sneak up and take him out with soul sucker. Switch to your talisman and evacuate out, or run back to the archstone.
- Rinse and Repeat - This method will get you a little above 150,000 souls on NG+ if you have all the soul boosting gear.
Method 2 - Above 40 Intelligence
This method is exactly the same, but just involves doing some math.
Let's take a look:
Evacuate: 50 mp
Soul Sucker: 100 mp
Soul Thirst: 200 mp.
Fresh Spice: +50mp
Old Spice: +100mp
I have found that the best way involves using 750 mp. This comes by casting soul sucker three times (300), soul thirst twice (400), and evacuate once. This is where I do math.
For example, if your mp is about 300, I would cast soul thirst right behind the first skeleton, then soul suck him. Now you have 0 mp. Quickly take 2 fresh spices and proceed to take out the second skeleton. The soul thirst should last. Back to 0 mp Run back and then take 3 more fresh spices. This should give you 150 mp and enough to perform 1 soul sucker and evacuation.
As you level up (if you do this in NG+ it should go by very quickly since your soul level should be low), you can change your strategy to reduce spice use and get more souls. At 550 mp You can cast soul thirst and then two quick soul suckers on the first two skeletons. This will give you 150 mp left. You can cast soul sucker and evacuate, or you can take 4 spices and cast soul thirst a second time. Doing this nets you about 9,000 more souls in NG+ using a female with all soul boosting gear. The spices definitely pay for themselves.
At 99 intelligence, using the above strategy, you only need to use 3 spices and you can cast soul thirst twice, soul sucker three times, and evacuate. Or you can use a crescent weapon. (Also works whenever your mp level is ~ <10 points away from the nearest 50 mp - i.e. 593 which is <10 from 600)
By that I mean this. In the Nexus, change your equipment a little bit. In the left hand have the bow, and now a crescent weapon. In the right hand, have a talisman and a catalyst. Now be careful not to accidentally switch from the catalyst, or you will lose some mana if you're at full strength. After you kill the reaper, switch from bow to crescent weapon. Continue on as normal. You should be able to use one less spice than you normally would. It might sound complicated at first, but once you do it once or twice, it'll make since and be a nice little help. So at 99 Intelligence, you only need two spices (unless you mess up of course by being too far away and your soul sucker not working.
Conclusion
This is the best way in the game to make souls. The higher number playthrough, the better. I saw probably a 15,000 soul increase from NG+ to NG++. This is also extremely fast. My best lap time so far is 2 m 18 s. On average this is about 528,000 (in NG+) souls every seven minutes if using a female with all boosting gear. However, it can also get you killed quickly if you fall into the slug pit at the wrong point or a skeleton turns around. If this happens, just be warp back from the adjudicator's archstone and repeat the process again, just a lot more carefully. Also, don't try to run through it a hundred times before cashing in your souls (if you do, you might make the same mistake I did and die after an hour of continual farming, losing 4.5 million souls). If your intelligence isn't at 99, buy as many intelligence levels as possible after every run through. Once it's at 99, good luck choosing. If you want to make this farming method easier, go with strength/dexterity to up the power of your bow, or endurance to increase the amount of time you can spend sprinting which you do a lot of here.
PS - You can pick up the items the BP's drop, but I find it just takes too much time for my liking. I really hope this helps y'all out!
4-2 Adjudicator Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
*Soul boosting items (Ring of Avarice, etc)
*Good melee attack (enough to kill a reaper in 3-6 hits)
*Evacuate (speeds things up)
Method:
*From the archstone, run directly to the Reaper room.
*Run up the left walkway, almost til the end.
*Drop down in front of the Reaper, targeting him as you fall.
*He'll miss with soul ray.
*Slice him up with your weapon of choice (+5500 souls).
*Drop down on the right side, and go up the first two flights of stairs.
*Open the secret door on the right.
*Kill the Black Skeleton at the end of the passage; watch out for Manta attacks, they're pretty good with those ice shards (+4700 souls).
**He's almost always opens with the double katana slash, which can be easily dodged and leaves the BS open to a backstab.
*Evacuate. Repeat as necessary.
This is nice because it can be done at a relatively low level, when melee tends to be weak.

4-2 Adjudicator Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
Equipment: Any weapon that suits your play style for killing w/ out magic (the reason for this will be explained in the actual guide). For rings, you'll want at least a Ring of Avarice on and anything can go into your second slot that you're comfortable w/. And for female characters, Silver Bracelets will of course be a nice touch. Note: my character is male so all numbers below are calculated w/ out the bracelets.
Spells that make this work: Soulsucker and Soul Thirst
Miracles: None needed, so equip anything you'd like.
Method:
First, let me just say that if you follow this guide, you'll be making 32k souls every ~40secs. I hope that got your attention :P so let’s begin the guide shall we?
1. You'll want your world at Pure Black for the true 32k souls; however, even in PW you'll net 16k.
2. Preferably you'll want over 300 MP; if you equip a Silver Catalyst and Silver Crown you can have 309 MP at only 32 INT. If you don't just bring lots of spice or a way to auto-regain MP; however, if you have to wait for MP to tick up every time, the time it takes to do this is of course no longer going to be under 40 secs.
3. Now the fun begins; right from the Archstone, run down to the 1st Reaper and get near the steps and cast Soul Thirst.
4. Move forward a tiny bit in order to aggro the two Lurkers and while you're doing so, make sure you have the Reaper locked-on. Once they've started to close on you, start running and maneuver around them on the right side.
5. The Reaper has more-than-likely tried to shoot you by now, but he'll have missed if you're doing this right. As soon as you're right in front of 'em, start Soulsucker immediately and watch as he dies and you "Reap" in 32,820 souls. This might take a bit of practice to get the Soulsucker timing down pat, but once you do, it'll be extremely fast and profitable.
6. Run off the cliff right behind you and repeat over and over until you're happy w/ your Soul amount.
Now, just to do a bit of cleanup, if while you're running up the stairs and the Reaper didn't choose to shoot at you and has instead waited to melee you, just dodge/block and cut your losses by either meleeing him or killing him however you're comfortable. Note that if you have to do it this way, you'll still earn 24,795 souls (also, if you don't have the ability to equip 6 spells, you can still do this method, it'll just obviously be for a lesser amount of souls per run). Also, one of the best things w/ this strat is that is that your Blood Stain should always be near the bottom of the steps so you can always have your full soul count even if the Reaper gets the best of you. So, in closing, if everything is going right, you can get 32k souls every 40 secs, but let’s bump that up to 1min to account for slight mistakes/variations; that's at LEAST 320k souls every 10mins. Happy hunting!
3-1 Tower of Latria
Rating: 0
Requirements:
For Rydyell
- SoulSucker
- His cell MUST be locked still
- Lots of spice as you will need it
For Yurt
- Firestorm
- SoulSucker
- His cage MUST be closed
- Lots of spice
Method:
In 3-1 go to Rydyell's cell and cast Soulsucker on him (make sure cell is still locked) he wont die and you will get about 3500 souls per Soulsuck.
(Note: He may attack you through the cell, if this happens run to the right from facing him and he will turn, then run back and continue casting. Also note: If you go to the nexus and return to his cell and cast it again he will die, and you can grab the Dull Rat's Ring through the bars without having the key!)
This can also be applied to Yurt in 3-2 but it is more difficult to do as you need Fire Storm. Cast Fire Storm by his cage and he will land on his back and get up and walk to the edge of the cage facing you. now line it up right and cast SoulSucker, you will get about 4000 per SoulSuck. He too will die in the same manner that Rydyell did if you go to the Nexus, return and cast it again. You wont need FireStorm the second time as he is already trying to walk up to you while in his cage.
(Note: He will begin attacking you if you cast Firestorm on him twice, if he starts to attack you you cannot continue farming from him so you must either kill him using the method told above or leave him in his cell. Also note:if you kill him you must go to the Nexus and return in order to get him armor, now outside the cage.)
4-3 Old Hero Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
- Pure Black World Tendency for Shrine of Storms.
- A technique for eliminating the Reaper mentioned above.
- Thief's Ring or the Hide spell.
- Spice (if Will is <30 w/silver catalyst). Fresh Spice is available quite cheaply from the blacksmith in the Nexus.
- Magic: Firestorm, Evacuate (optional).
- A decent shield (emergency use only, so optional).
Method:
- Follow the above method until you reach the Black Phantom Dual Katana-Wielding Black Skeleton.
- Cautiously approach the enemy until you are exactly in line with the doorway around the opening.
- Cast Firestorm. The Skeleton is placed in a crossfire of several pillars, killing it almost regardless of magic level.
- Cautiously approach the two Black Phantom Gold Skeletons. Stop when you are standing just behind the first skeleton. You should be roughly in backstab range, maybe a bit further away.
- Equip your talisman with two hands. Target the second skeleton (the one farther away).
- Cast firestorm. The first skeleton should be caught in a crossfire and die. The second will survive.
- Run away until the second skeleton returns to his position.
- Backstab the surviving skeleton; weapon makes absolutely no difference. After pushing him off your blade, he will fall off the cliff.
- Cast evacuate. If you don't have evacuate, somehow get back to the nexus and repeat the process.
Notes
It's good to have a weaker, fairly cheap spell offhand in case you don't quite get one or both of the Gold Skeletons (while not common, this does happen). This method may take a bit of practice, but you should have it down within one or two tries. Without ring of avarice or silver bracelet, you collect ~30k souls per run.
4-2 Adjudicator Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
- Soul Thirst
- Ring of Avarice
- Thief's Ring
- decent bow
- fast sword
- Wooden Catalyst
Method:
- Equip your catalyst in your offhand and your bow and sword in your main hand, as well as the Thief's Ring and the Ring of Avarice. Make sure you have your bow equipped and ready.
- As soon as you load, rush forward and roll off the edge of the platform.
- Lock on to the Storm Beast while doing so and take one step forward.
- Fire your bow once, hitting the Storm Beast. If it does not kill it in one shot, quickly move up to the edge and fire another shot, which should hit the Storm Beast as it aims to shoot at you.
- Turn around and run down towards the Reaper and kill it with your bow. Count the number of shots it takes to kill it; right as you release the last arrow, hit L1 to exit first-person aiming, tap triangle to unequip your bow, then hit L1 again to cast Soul Thirst. If you did it right you should get the buff up before the Reaper dies.
- Run straight forward and drop off the edge, then roll backwards upon landing to negate landing recovery.
- Immediately run out towards the cliff, equipping your bow as you go.
- Stand by the flagpole to your right, shoot the right-most Silver Skeleton once then shoot the middle skeleton.
- Exit first-person view, then position yourself between the flagpole and the edge of the cliff.
- Both skeletons should roll right off the cliff to their deaths.
- Switch to your sword and run down as soon as you see them fall and melee the archer Silver Skeleton; if you do it fast enough you will be able to kill all three before Soul Thirst wears off.
- Run back up to the Reaper room and grab the Reaper's item drop, then drop off the edge of the stairway and head up to the Black Skeleton.
- Run out at the Skeleton and immediately hug the wall to your left so you run up the path leading to the White Bow.
- The Black Skeleton will do a jumping slash at you while you do so, so make sure to move quickly.
- Once you're safely on the path, move up a bit, turn around, and shoot the Black Skeleton once so he keeps following you.
- About midway up the path there is a segment that makes a bit of a C-shape.
- Stand on the other side of the gap, separating you and the Black Skeleton.
- Shoot him again with the bow if he isn't following. Once he gets close, he will attempt to do a jumping slash but instead fall to his death.
Alternatively, from the hidden passage, lure the Black Skeleton back to the stairs using the bow. Walk backwards up the stairs. When you reach the pressure plate, step on the small stone to near the ledge. From here the Black Skeleton will attempt his jump slash when at the top, and fall. This allows you to safely lock on and confront him with a bow or magic and collect any possible Bladestone drops, even at low levels. Go back to where Graverobber Blige is standing, then turn around and run off the edge. This takes a little bit longer but ensures that your bloodstain is accessible right at the beginning when you re-spawn, so there's no risk of you dying twice in a row and losing all your accumulated souls.

Rating: 0
Requirements:
- A solid melee weapon (you must be able to kill the reaper in one combo)
- Ward is useful.
Method:
- Run down the left hand (or right hand, it really doesn't matter) bridge in the reaper room.
- Run off the edge (the timing is tricky, it might take some practice to get it right) if you get it right you'll land on (fantastic) or in front of the reaper.
- The reaper will usually try and get you with his soul arrow, but if you land in front of him you'll be crouching and the arrow will miss.
- Kill the reaper with your weapon, I get 5500 souls with the ring of avarice equipped and it takes me less than a minute.
- After you kill the reaper run off the edge in front of the reaper (the way you go to get further in the level).
- Repeat.

- Before the last shot, cast Soul Thirst.
- Finish him with the bow and then rush out near the cliff where 3 Skeletons are waiting below.
- One arrow to the middle Blade Skeleton and he will jump of the cliff and die!

Requirements:
- Soulsucker (required)
- Fresh Spice x 99 (recommended)
- Old Spice x 99 (recommended)
- Soul Thirst (optional)
- Ring of Avarice (optional)
- Silver Bracelet (optional)
- Crescent weapon (optional - for mp regen)
Method:
- This can only be done once per game and you can not have beaten 1-3 or seen the last cut scene before the boss fog.
- It is possible that you must have a blue phantom with you for this to work.
- First you need to go through the level and get to where the 3 red eye knights are.
- You should see a video when you approach them if you do not then this will not work.
- After the video you must die. Yes, you must die. Its the price to pay for being able to do this. If you have friends with you it must be the leader who dies, thus resetting the level.
- There have been reports that leaving to the Nexus at this point, coming back and summoning a blue phantom again will still allow the glitch to work.
- You must go through the level again (leaving for any reason may cause the glitch to not work).
- When you get to the end, right before the boss fog, there will be a fat minister. He will not attack and cannot die, but you can use Soulsucker on him and repeatedly get souls from him.
- The enemy will never show up after you beat the Penetrator, also it was originally believed that he would not come back if you go to the Nexus.
Please do not remove the credits this is the 3rd time I am putting them back up here. Give credit where credit is due ya know?

- Evacuate
- Ring of Avarice
- Silver Bracelet (females only)
- Thief Ring
- Make sure you can one-hit-kill the red eye knight with Soul Light or it won't be effective!
Method:
- Track back to the place where 3 red eye knight stood guard, get close enough, JUST CLOSE enough so that you can lock-on them with R3 (personally, I kill the one in the middle first).
- Cast Soul Thirst and use Soul Light to take them down.
- The other red-eye knights won't even notice that their barn buddy just got killed.
- When you're done, loot all the drops (if you want to) use Evacuate and repeat.
1-4 Penetrator Archstone
Rating: 0
Requirements:
- A good bow
- Thief's Ring (not a must have, but makes it easier)
- Decent stamina
Method:
- Turn around and head down the stairs.
- On the lower part of the stairs you will see 3 Red Eyed Knights.
- Go so far that you are about 3 sets of stair from them.
- Shoot one of them in the back (you should do at least 110 damage for this to work), and start running up the stairs again.
- The one you shot will chase you. Run to the hall with the Archstone and hide behind the 4th statue to the left.
- When the knight enters the door he should not be able to spot you.
- If he doesn't, he will give up and turn around to walk back down the stairs.
- Now, before he disappears, shoot him in the back again.
- If you did enough damage on the first two hits, he will use some grass. Shoot him again before he can do that.
- If your bow is powerful enough, he should be dead and give you about 2,000 souls.
- Now do the same thing to the other two knights.
- If you have the Thief's Ring it makes the whole thing a lot easier since you don't have to run very far away from the knights before they give up chasing you.

Requirements:
- Thief's Ring
- Ring of Avarice
- Silver Bracelets (Female only)
- Soul Light
- Piercing weapon
Method:
- Turn around and sprint toward the two Blue Eye Knights you fought at the end of 1-2. Lightly equipped, you can sprint all the way to the archway through which the first knight stands.
- Once you pass through, slow to a jog and then to a walk. Be sure you're walking before you pass the wood wagons on either side of you.
- Walk up and perform a critical backstab on the first blue-eye knight.
- Jog until you're about halfway between the first and second blue-eye knight.
- Walk until you're a few steps behind and to the right of the second blue-eye knight.
- Equip your catalyst.
- Target the right-most crossbowmen closest to you.
- Cast Soul Light on him. If you line it up right, it will kill him and the one in front of him.
- Then switch lock-on from the blue-eye knight to the third crossbowmen and take him out.
- As long as you're still behind and to the right of the knight, you won't alert him. Also, make sure you're not too close to the right wall, or your Soul Light will hit the wall in front of you and it will alert the blue-eye knight and all three crossbowmen.
- After the crossbowmen are dead, move in behind the blue-eye knight.
- Get close enough and perform a deadly "stick it in and break it off" backstab.
- Collect the grass from him and the first blue-eye knight on your way back to the Archstone.

Rating: -1
Requirements:
* evacuate spell (or)
* ring of nexial binding (or)
* splinter of keystone
* soul item (like a Unknown Soldier's Soul or a Boss Demon Soul)
* must have atleast 150 souls
* should be playing offline. ( I don't know if you're online, i still believe it will work)
Method:
1. Talk to Thomas the keeper. Withdraw the soul you wish to use . (like an unknown soldier's soul or the boss demon soul) if you have more than 1 qty of it in storage, make sure you withdraw all.
2. Ready the item or spell in your hotkey wherein you can easily select or use it. The nexial binding will use all the souls you have, nevertheless the splinter will be used up. Just keep it ready this time.
3. Talk to Blacksmith Boldwin. Try buying an item like a crescent moon grass (that's why you need atleast 150 souls to buy the item) Do not buy it. But leave it in the dialog box where you are selecting the amount you wish to buy.
4. Slowly, walk away from Blacksmith Boldwin. the selection screen will close.Walk towards Thomas the Keeper.(Thomas the generous I suppose at this time =) ). Do not walk too fast. If you do, Boldwin will say something like you're being rude, this will interrupt what you are supposed to do next.
5. Try using the spell or item(the evacuate, the ring or the splinter of keystone). There will be selection asking you if you wish to teleport back to nexus. press start to hide the selection.
6. You can now talk to Thomas. Store the soul item you wish to use later. While the dialog screen is still on, your character will cast teleport. the entire game will reload.
7. Surprised? you are still in the nexus. Go talk back to Thomas. Try withdrawing the item you stored.
8. Amazingly, you now have 1024 of the item you store (the soul) You can now withdraw any amount from the storage for use. Withdrawing any amount from the storage will revert the quantity in storage to 99 but you will still get the number of soul item you withdraw.
9. Put the soul item in the hotkey (for use) a Legendary Hero's Soul gives like 8K souls per use. 100 of that will give you 800K souls. You can have as much as 1M soul in 5 minutes!!!!
For faster Soul gain I Used (or duped rather) The Demon Dragon God's Soul which Gives like 24k souls. The only drawback when using a demon boss soul is that you cannot put it in the hotkey unlike the regular souls. You need to open menu by pressing start and selecting the item for use. But it's worth it. one use grants tremendous amount of souls. Re-arranging the item list for convenience will make the process faster. You can net up to 6M Souls (that's right) in 5 minutes. in 15 min time, i was like lvl 106. in 3 hours you can be Soul Lvl 300+ depending on your patience.
By discovering this, you now know too the game-breaking glitch: you can dupe almost any item. Splinter stones, Stones of Ephemeral Eyes, Spices, Grass (Weeds as I call it =P) even the rare Colorless Demon Soul that you can only get like 10 in qty per playthrough.
( I do not know if this still works in updated game version, I used the original, there may be some patches but trust me, this works the best and saves you all the time in the world)
