defeating its two bosses), but the branch is free, plus sheer amount of souls you will get by clearing the forest will help you in getting your pyromancies and even fire seeds. Going for the Lost Bastille does require clearing the Forest of the Fallen Giants completely (i.e. I wouldn't recommend it, specially considering you already need to spend 13,400 souls on the Silvercat Ring in order to get the rest of the items.

Getting it from Melentia does require less grinding in order to get the needed amount of souls, but will leave you with less souls to buy pyromancies, other gear you may want or level up. Your best alternatives for this are buying one from Merchant Hag Melentia (Located in the Forest of the Fallen Giants or Majula, after defeating The Last Giant and exhausting her dialogue) for 12,000 souls or getting it from a chest in The Lost Bastille (coming from The Tower Apart bonfire).īoth have their pros and cons, but I prefer getting it from The Lost Bastille. You will need one of these to gain access to some Pyromancies early on.
