Airbnb sucks . You have to call . <| sep |> I ' m pretty sure it ' s the second , because if you remove sub the word is pronounced mriner <| sep |> I was on Scholars , I never tried it in the original version prepatch I used to use soul geyser to farm the guardian dragon . For me with jester head watchdragon parma prisoner tatters CGSR 2 and using a rusted coin on most runs I had the dragon knights dropping at least one item every run . Often multiple items . Awestones were actually the most common , though by the time I had 10 scales from them I farmed 10 more from the harder method below I also had multiples of all of their weapons minus the warpick as there is no warpick dragon knight in that area . In my experience , they will only open the door if you stand too close . I did a run through using firestorm instead and they would manage to open the door , but when I run to the middle of the hall and just repeatedly fire the curved dragon greatsword projectile from a distance they never open the door . They didn ' t even try when I stood there changing my gear . If you equip the bracing knuckle ring 2 they should be all dead before you run out of durability . The other offline farming method that does not involve ascetics is farming inperfects in shulva , now THAT method works poorly . Those enemies have shockwaves and grabs and drop titanite slabs and petrified dragon bones sooner than any scale .
