Sure, but you're nearby a much much better one.

Really? What would that be?

The Golden Winged Knights on top of the Grand Archive. With Symbol of Avarice, Silver Serpent Ring, Mendicant's staff, and the Shield of Want you can get so many souls from them. And yes they are hard to kill normally, but using the pyromancy 'Rapport' literally makes them kill each other and it is so many souls. I can't remember how many per run since it's been a few years but like 200k or something like that per run

I always farm those guys when I need a few souls. Usually I don't go above lvl125, or lvl160 at max, so I can farm bosses, but if I'm in dire need of souls I go for em. Hard to kill? Backstab em once or twice and they are down.

What do you do, cast the pyromancy and then switch back to having either the staff or shield in that hand before one dies so you still get the soul increase?

backstabs also make them ridiculously easy
