Talk:Large Titanite Shard (Dark Souls II)/@comment-67.174.187.51-20180204000245

In Scholar of The First Sin, you can farm large titanite shards in Huntsman's Copse; from the second bonfire, drop down to a ledge just outside the bonfire room and then go in the cave. At the bottom of the cave is a large basilisk that drops 3 Large Titanite Shards each time you kill it, and it re-spawns. So, you can get 30 large shards per bonfire ascetic, or more if you use the Covenent of Champions.

This doesn't work in vanilla Dark Souls 2, even with the DLCs, because the basilisk won't be there.
