Dark Souls 3 Easy Way to Farm Titanite Shards
Upgradability is an essential aspect of RPG games and is one of the main elements that reinforce the idea of "progression" in them;
Once they graduate from this inevitable learning curve, they begin to see real progression in the actual game, which manifests itself in several ways. This includes gaining new mechanics, learning more about the game's lore, and, most importantly, combatting unique and more formidable enemies. Upgradability, hence, is a vital aspect of such games as overcoming powerful foes requires an equally powerful kit (weapons, spells, armor, and many others).
What are Titanite Scales In Dark Souls 3 ?
As the lore goes in
- Crescent Moon Sword
- Curse Ward Greatshield
- Dragonrider Bow
- Dragon Tooth
- Eleonora
- Sage's Crystal Staff
- Shield of Want
- Tailbone Short Sword
- Tailbone Spear
- Storm Ruler
- Dragonhead Shield
- Dragonhead Greatshield
- Earth Seeker
Titanite Scales reinforce all of the above-mentioned weapons upto +4. You can carry out the final +5 reinforcement with a Titanite Slab. To make it simple for you, you need a total of 15 titanite scales to get any soul-transposed or unique weapon to +4 – 1 scale for +1, 2 scales for +2, 4 scales for +3 and lastly, 8 scales for +4.
Blacksmith Andre: The Upgrade Guy
All sorts of upgrades take place with the infamous Blacksmith Andre. He is an NPC in
Infusion
You can carry out infusions with him, essentially infusing many different weapons and shields with certain gems that grant them properties, damage type, or scaling. To carry out a proper infusion, you need to give Andre the appropriate coal, have a particular gem that you want to infuse, and the number of souls required to proceed with the infusion. Might I add, the only exception to the coal requirement is the Refined, Raw, and Fire gem. Lastly, in order to reverse a particular infusion on your weapon, Andre can do that easily if provided with a Shriving Stone!
Maintenance
In
Upgrade
While infusions and maintenance are fantastic and all, Andre's ability to upgrade your equipment is most relevant to us in the context of this guide. To upgrade, you must have the appropriate amount of pertinent upgrade material and the number of souls required to go through with the upgrade. Most weapons can be upgraded through titanite: Titanite shard from +1 to +3, Large Titanite shard from +4 to +6, and Titanite Chunk from +7 to +9. On the other hand, unique weapons are upgradable from +1 to +4 via Twinkling Titanite and Titanite Scale in
Titanite Scales Location Dark Souls 3
As you can probably tell by now, in
Shrine Handmaid (NPC)
You can purchase Titanite scales from Shrine Handmaid, an NPC located in the Firelink Shrine (down the hallway, against the wall, between Andre and the Fire Keeper), who serves as your primary merchant. You can buy them for 20,000 souls each after giving her the Dragon Chaser's Ashes obtained in Archdragon Peak. From the Great Belfy bonfire where you fight Nameless King, exit the room to the left and follow the path leading to the sparkling dragon body stone. Hug the left edge. Dragon Chaser's Ashes are located to the left of the first archway, on a corpse guarded by a Rock Lizard. Keep in mind that the Shrine Handmaid's stock of Titanite Scale never ends!
Enemies
There are two enemies in
The other enemy that drops Titanite Scale is the Ringed Knights, who are potent knights that guard the streets of The Ringed City. They appear in three variants: sword and shield, spear and greatshield, or paired greatswords. They are generally weak to Frost, Dark, and Strike damage but have resistances towards standard, slash, thrust, fire, lightning, bleed, poison, and toxic damage. Moreover, they are immune to Alluring Skulls, the Aural Decoy sorcery, and the Rapport pyromancy, so don't even think about aggro'ing them!

Farming: Where, What, How?
Enemy:
If you need more Titanite Scales than what's naturally obtainable in
Location:
So, to start farming Rock Lizards, make your way to the Great Belfry Bonfire in Archdragon Peak. Go across to kill the Man-Serpent Summoner in the other room, and then continue to the other side until you find an archway that leads outside. You will find a group of 4 Rock Lizards down the small set of stairs. You could either kill them all the way you want to, but if you're going to maximize time efficiency, then keep reading!
The Sweet Spot:
You can bait the rock lizards to go near the ledge on the right (the one with broken handrails). This will gather them in one spot, and you will only be vulnerable against their Flamethrower attack, which can go through walls but is easily telegraphed and has a short range. After that, it's just a question of picking them off at range, which you can do so by going to the right, onto higher ground where the flamethrower attack can't reach you.
Gear:
Now that you're in the sweet spot where you can quickly kill all four Rock Lizards, your gear choice is critical. Before making the weapon choice, you should maximize your Item Discovery, a derived stat that measures how likely you are to receive items from foes. An easy way to increase it is rocking the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring, obtained on the quest path of Siegward of Catarina in the Irithyll Dungeon. Moreover, you should use whatever Rusted Coins you have at your disposal since players usually end up hoarding on them without realizing it! Lastly, as you may have guessed, leveling up the Luck stat permanently increases Item Discovery, 1 point of Discovery per point of Luck.
Weapon:
While you can utilize a wide array of weapons to take out the four Rock Lizards, this is what I recommend: the Crystal Sage's Rapier along with Wrath of the Gods. In my personal experience, this golden duo has made my life easy whenever I wanted to farm for Titanite Scale in
Summary
Titanite Scales are crucial when wielding some of the most iconic weapons in the game, notably soul-transposed weapons such as the Moonlight Greatsword, Frayed Blade, Gael's Greatsword, etc. You can obtain 67 of them naturally across the world of
So rather than farming for souls, you are better off directly farming for the Titanite Scale themselves. One of the most effective ways is heading for Archdragon Peak with the Crystal Sage's Rapier and Wrath of the Gods. With boosted Item Discovery, you can quickly get 2-3 Titanite Scales per refresh which pretty much takes less than a minute – just stay stocked on some Ashen Estus Flasks!
