Drag to pan. Zoom in to read labels and markers.
Before you go
- Reach Lothric Castle and activate the bonfire.
- Be able to defeat the nearby knights reliably without frequent deaths.
- Equip soul-boosting gear only if you already have it and can use it safely.
- Carry enough healing for multiple consecutive runs.
Farming steps
- Rest at Lothric Castle bonfire and approach the nearby knights.
- Pull enemies apart so you can fight one at a time.
- Defeat each knight and collect the souls and any drops before leaving the area.
- Check your soul total and equipment inventory after clearing the route.
- Return to the bonfire and rest to respawn the enemies.
- Repeat the same loop while it remains safe and useful.
- Spend the accumulated souls at a level-up, vendor, or reinforcement before risking another run.
- If a cleric is supporting a knight, separate the knight or handle the support enemy to avoid healing and buffs during the fight.
- The route can also support Chunk, Large Shard, and Refined Gem goals; track those separately from souls.
Repeat, collect and use
The nearby knights respawn after resting, so the soul loop is repeatable. Soul totals can vary with game cycle and equipped bonuses; no fixed yield is promised here.
Common mistakes
- Fighting several knights at once: draw them apart to keep the route consistent.
- Ignoring drops to rush a reset: collect materials before resting so the attempt is not wasted.
- Holding a large soul total while continuing risky runs: spend souls regularly to avoid losing the accumulated amount.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough souls for your planned level, purchase, or reinforcement, or switch to a safer route if repeated knight fights are costing more than they earn.
