Will the Giants' resentment for the King be pacified in death, or only emboldened?
Can be used to acquire souls, only...

Availability[]

There are five Souls of Giants to be found in the game, one in each of the following locations:

Usage[]

Each Soul of a Giant can be used to gain 10,000 souls. However, if the player holds onto them, each will reduce Vendrick's defense multiplier by half:

Number of Souls of a Giant Vendrick's defense multiplier
0 Ɨ32
1 Ɨ16
2 Ɨ8
3 Ɨ4
4 Ɨ2
5 or more Ɨ1

Notes[]

  • Souls of a Giant collected in NG will remain in the player's inventory in NG+ and beyond.
  • It's possible to farm Souls of a Giant by burning a Bonfire Ascetic at the Black Gulch Mouth bonfire (the first one) and then defeat the Elite Giants in the underground cave of the Black Gulch. Note that this doesn't work in Scholar of the First Sin.
  • For unknown reasons, the drops from the Elite Giants in Black Gulch can be acquired while only killing one of them. This is done by quitting out to the menu after killing the first one and then re-entering game.
  • It's also possible to farm them from the Ancient Dragon by burning a Bonfire Ascetic at the Shrine Entrance bonfire to make him respawn.
  • None of the souls found off on the Giants' corpses will respawn by burning Bonfire Ascetics.
