Use the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring on soul runs
This ring increases souls received from enemy kills, improving the return from routes you already know how to clear.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Use the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring on soul runs
Equip it from the ring menu before starting a route such as the Silver Knight circuit in Anor Londo.
Before you go
- Find the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring in Tomb of the Giants.
- Have access to a repeatable enemy route with a nearby bonfire.
- Keep a ring slot free for the farming run.
Farming steps
- Open the equipment menu before leaving the bonfire.
- Equip the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring in an available ring slot.
- Clear the chosen enemies using the route you can perform most safely.
- Collect the souls from kills and avoid detours that add unnecessary risk.
- Return to the bonfire, rest, and spend the souls before they are exposed to loss.
- Repeat the same route with the ring equipped while the souls remain your goal.
- The ring increases soul rewards; it does not raise Item Discovery or improve Humanity and Titanite drop odds.
- The Symbol of Avarice can also increase soul gain but drains health, so the ring is often a simpler choice for longer runs.
Repeat, collect and use
The ring can be equipped for any number of runs. The route itself resets when you rest at a bonfire; the ring does not create a separate reward or one-time payout.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the ring to improve drops: use Item Discovery equipment for enemy item farming instead.
- Entering a dangerous route just because the ring is equipped: select a familiar circuit and prioritize reaching a bonfire.
- Forgetting to spend souls between runs: use them on levels, purchases, or upgrades before pushing farther.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have the souls for the intended purchase or level, or remove the ring if another ring is more valuable for the next challenge.
