How can I increase my chances of finding Awestones?
In Dark Souls 2, there is the Covenant of Champions, which requires you to find Awestones that drop from certain enemies, at certain rates. For example, any invader has a 100% chance to drop an Awestone. Some NPC's also have 100% chance of dropping one.
However, other enemies in the game can drop them as well, just at an incredibly low rate.
So my question is in 3 parts:
- Which NPC's drop Awestones?
- At what rate do other enemies drop Awestones?
- Can I increase my chances of finding them, and if so, how?

Where can I farm Awestones?
Grave of Saints Black Phantom- By far the most effective way to farm 50 Awestones. Go to the Grave Entrance Bonfire in Grave of Saints, and burn a bonfire ascetic. He will invade 12 times before needing to use bonfire ascetics (on the First Bonfire of Grave of Saints).How to obtain Awestone?
You get Awestones from 3 sources: Rare random drops from certain enemies, scripted named NPC invasions and PC Invasions (from the Cracked Red Eye orb ONLY). You can only control one of these (NPC invasions), so that's the easiest method to focus on, though you may pick up a few from the other two.How do you get the RHOY Explorer to spawn?
Rhoy will invade offline players in the Grave of Saints, when the player approaches the ladder leading to the top levels of the area. It is important to note that Rhoy will not spawn unless the player is offline and not part of the Rat King covenant.Does covenant of Champions increase souls?
Contrary to playing in NG+, joining the Company of Champions will only make enemies harder but they won't yield more souls when defeated.How to Farm Awestones Offline | Dark Souls II SOTFS
