Dark Souls 3: Snuggly the Crow trading guide

Pickle Pee, Pump-a-rum!

Dark Souls 3: Snuggly the Crow trading guide

Rare Dark Souls 3 loot is available via trade with a semi-secret NPC. There's a crow's nest on the roof of Firelink Shrine, accessible after obtaining the tower key. Visit this nest and you can trade in some of your gear.

Snuggly the Crow doesn't offer much guidance in the way of what it accepts ("That no pickle pee! That no pump-a-rum!"), but we've got the full list of available trades here. The list shows the item you receive, followed by what you'll need in order to obtain it. In some case the items you're trading away are also quite rare, so we've provided guidance on how to obtain them.

To trade an item, stand in the nest, highlight an item in your inventory and select "leave". Confirm the quantity (just one) and as soon as the menu closes, the trade will be complete - provided Snuggly accepts the item. You must pick the item up immediately; if you leave the area it will vanish forever.

You can only perform each trade once per playthrough. If your item is rejected, you can just pick it back up again.

The first time you trade with Snuggly, you'll receive the Call Over emote.

Multiplayer communication carvings

  There are multiple Sacred Chime class weapons in Dark Souls 3. The easiest way to obtain one is to purchase from Greirat after his inventory has expanded, or by farming the grunt you can plunge attack in Cemetery of Ash.

I'm Sorry Carving

• Trade: Shriving Stone
  Collect from Road of Sacrifices, or receive as drops from Corvians in Road of Sacrifices.

Upgrade materials

Large Titanite Shard

• Trade: Firebomb (or Rope Firebomb)
  Receive as enemy drops, or purchase from Shrine Handmaid (or Greirat). A very cheap trade in the early game when you first star needing Large Titanite Shards for weapon upgrades.

Titanite Chunk

• Trade: Black Firebomb (or Rope Black Firebomb)
  Obtain as burial gift, collect near High Tower on the Wall, or purchase from Unbreakable Patches. Again, well worth the price when you first need Titanite Chunks.

Twinkling Titanite

• Trade: Prism Stone
  Collect in Farron Keep swamps, or purchase from Shrine Handmaid. A very cheap trade when you first begin upgrading magic weapons.

Twinkling Titanite

• Trade: Large Leather Shield
  Purchase from Shrine Handmaid.

Titanite Scale

• Trade: Blacksmith Hammer
  Unique weapon found in Dark Firelink Shrine. Worth trading if you have no interest in the weapon and have run out of Titanite Scales.

Titanite Scale (3)

• Trade: Avelyn
  Unique crossbow found in Grand Archives. Worth trading if you have no interest in the weapon and have run out of Titanite Scales.

Titanite Slab

• Trade: Coiled Sword Fragment
  Unique item found in Dark Firelink Shrine. Worth the trade as its only function is as a free Homeward Bone, which are cheap. Titanite Slabs, on the other hand, are extremely rare.

Lightning Gem and Ring of Sacrifice

• Trade: Loretta's Bone
  Collect in Undead Settlement. Absolutely not a worthwhile
• Trade: you need to return this item to Greirat to expand his inventory. Lightning Gems occasionally drop as loot, and Ring of Sacrifices aren't all that.

Lightning Gem

• Trade: Xanthous Crown
  Receive as drop from Yellowfinger Heysel on Road of Sacrifices, or if Heysel's window has closed, from a Maggot Man in front of Rosaria's Bedchamber.

Blessed Gem

• Trade: Moaning Gem
  Unique shield dropped by Eygon of Carim either on defeat or after death; depends on Irina's sidequest.

Hollow Gem

• Trade: Eleonora
  Unique axe dropped by specific fist beasts in Profaned Capital.
