Any helpful tips about grinding order of souls missions ?

@fgfoot Yeah. Don't do them without a 4 person galleon.

• Avoid large islands - Devils ridge is a particular pain of mine, I tend to avoid it if possible.
• Favour smaller islands - especially ones where you can use the cannon on the shore.

It's not so much an issue of large/small islands per se, but more of a "cannon accessibility" issue. Mainly, you want to avoid islands where the bounty skeletons regularly spawn where cannons can't reach. Devil's Ridge is a perfect example, as the skellies usually spawn inside the cave.

But it's worth it to go out of your way to scout out the bigger islands, just in case any of the bounties happen to spawn on/near the beach.

The only other tip I would add is: Keep moving so as not to get cornered or flanked

If you are grinding you def want to avoid large islands. Sometimes it takes a long time to find where those guys are ex. Old Faithful Isle. I wouldn't go there especially if it's only one skull. I normally always do a complete circle around the island too. Sometimes it saves time in finding where the skellys are hiding.

Can someone help ?

First of all, it is always going to be easier done as 4 people. So that is my first suggestion.

If like me you are persistent in the idea of doing it solo/duo, here are my tips:

• Stock up - visit a fort and get lots of bananas and cannonballs, also grab a few gunpowder kegs
• Avoid large islands - Devils ridge is a particular pain of mine, I tend to avoid it if possible.
• Favour smaller islands - especially ones where you can use the cannon on the shore.
• Learn to lunge - holding block before a lunge gives extra mobility
• Body block gun shots - if you position your enemy with the sword so that they are between you and a pistol, often you can avoid the damage.
• Be patient - sometimes it's better to wait until sunrise, or lure golden skeletons to the shore than to struggle on.
• If all else fails - gunpowder keg them all to the depths.

Hope that helps.

100% agree with this. Fiance and I usually only can play together. One stays on canons and the other draws the ghosts if possible. I'd also add that have a treasure mission on hand as well for when you get low on bananas so when you go to islands to stock up, you at least get something out of it.
