However, to make the trek through this poisonous waste far easier, a comprehensive guide through Farron Keep can be followed below. Luckily, these beacons can be activated in any order players so choose. Scattered across the egg-shaped map are three main points of interest, the Ritual Fires, which grant players access to the Abyss Watchers boss battle and on into the Catacombs of Carthus when extinguished. Farron Keep is also one of the main places to farm Wolf’s Blood Swordgrass from fallen Ghrus, allowing players to quickly boost their standing in the Watchdogs of Farron Covenant and receive highly valuable rewards upon each new rank.
Despite its toxic-riddled wastes and the myriad enemies that populate it, Farron Keep is home to the Watchdogs of Farron Covenant, a PvP covenant that transports its members to defend the Crucifixion Woods from embered trespassers. Filled with various forms of Ghru, Basilliks, and Rotten Slugs, this area of Dark Souls 3 is certainly not one to scoff at. The infamous poison swamp, a recurring feature in Dark Souls, makes its fated return in the franchise’s third installment as Farron Keep.
