Since AWC has yet to defeat the Gargoyles, he would not yet have access to the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring (assuming he/she is not yet in NG+).

But farming those three rats, as stated, is an effective strategy. They are directly below the main entrance to the Parish, the one that is guarded by the Red Drake. There is also a single rat between the aqueduct/sewer that connects Firelink Shrine to Undead Burg. In addition it is also possible to be rewarded Humanity from random enemies, but they are limited (10) and only in areas where the boss has yet to be defeated.
