How To Reach Max Level In Dark Souls 3

*NG+7 (JOURNEY 8) IS THE MAX DIFFICULTY/SOUL GAIN*

Hi all! Just a quick guide on the leveling system in Dark Souls III. This is for those that are quite lost and dont know what to do after endgame, and if you already know this, this is for if you forgot.

The maximum level in Dark Souls III will be 802, In order to get to this maximum level we can utilize the famous farming route given to us on top of the Grand Archives rooftop. This will help us get most of the levels down until you have had enough and want to start going through the NG cycles and getting the free levels off of Yoel. It is highly advised to maximise the most levels via soul gain and when the souls required drops off to a ridiculous amount where you feel the payoff is wasting your time, use the rest of the remaining levels on Yoel.

Start at the Grand Archives bonfire with the appropriate gear. Shield Of Want Mendicants Staff Symbol Of Avarice Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +3. Follow the equipment layout I have in the video and use rapport on the first single Golden Winged Knight that drops down from the left. That alcove is safety, next use rapport on the group beside and go in for the first backstab on the single knight, while they are having it out, you can use this time to back stab chain the allured single winged knight to death. Note after the second backstab is when one of the two knights fighting usually perishes so have the Mendicants Staff out to catch the bonus souls from the 2 winged knights duking it out and then finish the single one off with the final back stab and swap out to staff appropriatley after each fatality.

Make sure after each kill you swap your weapon out to the soul gaining item for maximum soul recieval.

Every hour you will consistantley be recieving 10 million souls. It will take you around 300 hours of raw pure game time to farm souls this way to max level. You can cut that time in half via going through the NG levels with Yoel.

If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment!

Thank you!
