so to answer some questions that keep getting asked. For PC - 1. If it only says 99 instead of 999 when you go to purchase the caestus, you’ve done the prompt swap wrong. Keep trying. Its quite hard to get if youve never done it b4. I raged a lot lmao. 2. Apparently buying 1 normal caestus. Then doing the prompt swap lets you get 999. Worth a shot if you cant seem to get it to work. For Console - 1. If you pick up the caestus off the ground and still only get one. You need to then drop more pikes. Max you can drop is 40, otherwise the caestus drop disappears. If u drop 40 and still get only 1 caestus you need to get rid of some pikes, as dropping them isnt getting you under 10000 inventory limit to glitch the caestus. 2. Want to dupe upgrade materials? Rearrange your upgrade materials in their tab. when in the 2 menu glitch press 'right' first then the listed 'x down right x'. hope that helps
Thanks for the guide! I seem to sort of be doing the dupe correctly-ish, but instead of picking up a few hundred caestus, I’m getting somewhere between 7-50. This can still work, it’s just a bit more tedious and requires more dupes to get things up to 99. Not sure what I’m doing wrong to prevent picking up more caestus after dropping pikes. Thanks
I am on PC and doing my best to follow. But I seem to have a consistent ability to get only to 99 on the axes. I do not know if my timing is off but I feel like I would have gotten it sometime betweem my couple of hours of trying. Is this glich for PC still working as of now?
@@Lunar_Cow 17/03/2022 PC VERSION still works, although I've done it in a different way. Instead of clicking the weapon icon to get the prompt swap, click the arrow on the top left corner. It seems nothing will happen but after several tries you will get it.
September 2023 update for PC users: - When buying the Axes/glitched Caestus, you need to already have a normal Caestus in your inventory. - When you pull off the glitch to buy multiple axes, you will only be able to buy 99. This is correct. - Before you try to glitch the menu to drop negative items, you need to equip your glitched Cestus and drop any other Caestuses you have. - Due to the above, you will only be able to drop -98 items unfortunately. Luckily, this usually doesn't matter as most items stack to 99.
Consoles Only: Go get 1015 pikes. drop 29 pikes then pick up the caestus. It supposed to say 31. Afterwards, go to Andre and purchase the caestus but cancel it. Then proceed to go with the video. -31 is tedious but you get to your goal that way.
@@B3LL7293 I could be wrong to exactly what the cause is, but i think that if you don't drop enough pikes, you'll get the -31 or a different random number that's not --100 or better Usually if it happens to me, I'll drop more giants shields. Then pick ceastus up and it will give a better - number. My best method tho is I buy 540 giants shields, then I buy ceastus, drop it, then I drop ten giants shields at a time, attempting to pick up ceastus in between just so it won't dissappear while I lay more shields down. Once I get near 40, I'll drop 15-20 shields and it always gives me -260 or better. The amount of giants shields you needs depends on the amount of items you already have. I only need 520 on a late game character. On a side note, once I have the glitched -260 ceastus I drop all my giants shields. As long as you never touch the glitched ceastus you don't need the max inventory. Don't ever move or upgrade or interact with the ceastus tho.
To make it convenient for you when you want to dupe again, just keep all the pikes in your bottomless box instead of dropping them. Much faster and easier then buying 1000 pikes again.
@@flawedzak pressing DEL to place the sword in storage , it gonna show 999, press INS to put back in inventory it gonna show 999. Wear it again and it gonna show the 3k weight again.
Can confirm it works on PS5 as of February 6, 2023. Followed everything exact, except I used giant armour purchased from the blacksmith in Anor Londo. Bought 615 giant armour, initially dropped about 23 but it still wouldn’t let me pick up the Caestus because I had so much other gear in me, had to keep dropping armour until I could pick it up (dropped in groups of 5 to make sure I didn’t drop too much). When I finally picked it up it there was only 180ish of it - not the same number as in this video, but it was still plenty to dupe any item to 99 in one go. Not sure if this makes a difference or not, but when you go to purchase the Caestus again after picking it up, I hit “start” to exit out of the purchase menu - I didn’t click on cancel. Also, to keep duping more items, just keep going back to the purchase menu and select the Caestus, hit “start” (on ps5) to back out of menu and then do brightness menu glitch again, keep repeating that process for each item you want to dupe. Gonna go wank now good bye
For PC: if you have none, but a Caestus from Andre. Do the glitch and get 99 caestus. Put the broken weight in your hand and drop the normal one. Do the rest of the video and you should be able to get -98.
The soul duplication glitch also works using Inventory-Item-Drop instead of Merchant-Item-Purchase. I had 999 Wood Arrows and a soul worth 200 unit souls in my inventory. Duplication glitch resulted in the soul being used in exchange for 199,800 unit souls.
Yes but this is a different glitch that actually dupes the item. The one you are referring to only uses the item 999 times but u still lose the item afterwatds
This video is not for using 999 souls, but for getting 999 soul items. For example, there is one soul that you can get only one time per playthrough. With this glitch here you can duplicate it, so you can have it 999 in you inventory, and then use it with the glitch 999 times for 999 stacks
Feb 2024: Can confirm it still works. It's just tricky. Also I have an alternative method for duping upgrade materials after you have the glitches Caestus. Organize whichever one you want to duplicate into the first slot of the materials menu. Do the typical brightness menu overlap. Press right once and you should see the menu change to your materials menu. Press X/A to select the one in the first slot while the brightness menu is still open. Then press down 5 times. This will highlight the drop option. Then press right. This will highlight the default button in the brightness menu but will not change the item menu as pressing right does nothing. Now press X/A and you will see the drop prompt come up. Press down for the negative values and drop them. Pick them back up and you now have 99 of the material. Enjoy.
@@PotatoMateYTyou need a stack of a negative quantity item causing you to exceed weight limit then you purchase a different item and drop it, thus creating a positive value in your inventory .
fr the only darksouls youtuber that embraces the toxicity in darksouls "community". All others are much better and actually spoken. 10 years to late tho lmao
In case anyone is wondering. After you have the glitched ceastus you can drop all of the armor/shield/pikes and as long as you don't touch that ceastus you can still do the dupe. That way you're character doesn't have to be a dedicated duplication character
Does this glitch work on Xbox one? I tried, but when I bought over 1000+ pikes from Andre, and the caestus, and dropped the specified number of pikes if not more, I still couldn’t pick up the caestus for the glitch to work?
@@asdfghjkllkjhgfdsa8725can you pin point what glitches the caestus? I am not able to reliably glitcht it. Sometimes I can, sometimes I cannot....I dont know why....
@mecagoenbb the ceastus is glitched because you bought it when you were overweight limit. So you drop ceastus on ground, then clear enough pikes/armor out of your inventory to pick the ceastus back up. The ceastus you pick up will be glitched. I'll say I've had it not work or only partially work if I didn't go high enough above the weight limit or if I don't drop enough pikes/armor back down. The way I make sure it works is I always use 570 giants armor and drop 50. It's never messed up for me then. This may change depending how much other stuff you have because everytime I've done it I've had a relatively small inventory. If you have a massive inventory you may not need to buy 570 giants armor or you may need to drop more than 50. Just be careful not to go drop to many because at some point the ceastus will dissappear. I want to say the dropped item cap is 80 but I could be wrong. When it works perfectly you will pick up -260 ceastus or something like that. Somtimes I've picked it up and it says there are like 60 or even less.
PC version here. It worked Problems: Didn't realize I needed a caestus in my inventory to collect the heavy caestus. Also didn't know why negative drop values -98 were not showing up, but somehow it worked out when I hit cancel purchase with A instead of B. It finally worked, and I managed to dupe everything except for firekeeper souls
GUYS I FIGURED OUT AN EVEN EASIER WAY (FOR PC) Hover over the wooden bolts, same as in the video, but this time place your mouse over the little left arrow at the top left Instead of clicking then trying to purchase, you have to click them around the same time, you have the slightly delay the purchasing input by like a frame or two This worked second try for me but I couldn't get the one in the video to work once Hope this helps
can confirm this method works WAY easier. i keep having only 1 item to purchase (cant get 999/99), with this method, your mouse clicking left arrow (THE MENU, NOT Andre's Wares or keyboard arrows) + E at almost a same time, took me about several times i finally get heavy longsword, at least it does works!, and i only 17 hours away from OP who find it first
To anyone on PC failing to get the prompt sawp try this. Instead of clicking the weapons tab with your mouse, click on the arrow that is all the way to the left of all of the prompts. This time, click on Mouse1 and X/A at the exact same time instead of having a little bit of a delay when clicking X/A.
So I've been trying this for a little bit on PC, but to no avail. Could not get the Axe prompt with 999 axes. Then I had an idea. I got a Logitech mouse, so I made a macro (this doesn't work for quit out part, only for buying). For anyone interested it is Press Left click - 15ms Delay - press E - 15ms delay - release left click - 15ms delay - release E Now after writing this down it wouldn't work with the 15ms delay anymore but with 10ms, so you might have to experiment a little bit with the delays. It's not consistent, but a whole lot easier and quicker, getting it once every 5-10 tries. This only works if you click on the arrow on the left to switch tabs instead of the Weapon icon. It bought a super heavy battle axe for me instead of a caestus, but the dupe still worked, I just canceled buying a battle axe instead of the caestus afterwards Hope this helps
This is glorious lol. I replayed remaster this week and quit after I put Manus soul to the wrong nest so it disappeared :( Now I have to only beat him 1 more time instead of 2 for both items :d
30 drops is the cut off before the caestus disappears. Tried dropping up to 29, tried buying less pikes, still over 1000, trying moving stuff to box, every time, only pick up one caestus.
Edit) Go get 1015 pikes. drop 29 pikes then pick up the caestus. It supposed to say 31. Afterwards, go to Andre and purchase the caestus but cancel it. Then proceed to go with the video. -31 is tedious but you get to your goal that way.
Side note. Do not rush this proceed. You must rinse and repeat each time you get your dupes. But quicker way is to go and purchase the caestus and cancel then proceed the dupe glitch.
If anyones having trouble getting it to go negative move the item you want to dupe to the top then go over to the 999 do the "drop" thing then back out and act like your going to buy caestus then do the brightness glitch
Just want to do my part, but wasn't able to get the - value after all the other steps. This fixed it. Thanks a ton. Still only drops 99 of them but 99 is more than enough when combined with the soul-dupe glitch.
March 14th, 2022, still works on Xbox one. Once you get the caestus (getting more than you dropped) I believe you can use the bottomless box to store the hundreds of items you bought to do the glitch. I used Giant's Armor, and did this glitch on divine blessings, then stored all the armor in the box, and I'm still able to do it. Next, I just need to make sure it works after purchasing an item.
Thank you so much! I had never done this glitch and your tutorial was very well explained. I tried it for fun on firebombs and then on titanite shards. I eventually ended up with an unmanageable amount of caestus (caestuses or caesti?) but it was all good fun. Worked on Remastered latest patch on PS4.
January 15th 2023 still works on Xbox. A few tips: 1. Can’t have another caestus in your inventory! The one you drop before dropping pikes/ giants shields should be your only one. I spent an hour trying to figure out why it didnt work 2. To dupe titanite shards/chunks/slabs click right before the “A+down+right+A” combo on the brightness screen. This switches the inventory menu you’re on so you can select the titanite. 3. Buy giants shields. They weigh 18 compared the pike’s 10. I know that requires access to Anor Londo though, so depends on where you’re at. Not sure if you’re at the imventory limit? Drop one while still at the giant and try to pick it up
Something to add to this: If you have the dupe glitch working on NG and beat gwyn, you can run back to andre and it will still be working. I just confirmed this and duped 99 Souls of Gwyn so you don’t have to beat the entire game a second time to 100% it
If you want to make getting the glitched Cestus easier, transfer all weapons and armor outside of the Caestus and Pikes into the Bottomless Box, that way you only have to deal with the weight limit for the pikes.
FOR PC PEOPLE!!!! : if the prompt shows only 99, you can still get it to work IF your equip load is low enough so you can only walk when the caestus is equipped. then the next steps are the same. edit: i found out that even if i equipped the caestus and wasn't walking and i could mid roll, the item dupe glitch still worked.
Tip for everyone who is struggling to do this on pc because you can only buy 99 axes, not 999: Instead of hovering over and clicking on the weapon icon directly with your mouse, hover over and click on the arrow to the left of the menu of the smith. Still needs good timing but this worked for me.
Doesn't work for me, feels like I would have to do the inputs super slow to get them to work but everytime I try there's just the normal prompt to buy the battle axe for 1000 souls. Got the timing when clicking in the weapons tab muktiple times but it only let me scroll to 99 every time
Pc worked out fine 5/14/22 make sure you only have the heavy ceastus any extras will cause it to not go negative. Was able to dupe black bomb, pine, souls, humanity, upgrade materials, arrows. Thanks!
PC user - 4 June 2023 i found that dropping off all caestus onto the floor EXCEPT the glitched one (one with abnormal weight) allowed me to get the -98 drop amount for the dupe to work. the glitched caestus should be the only caestus in your inventory.
YOU! YOU WERE THE KEY! THANK YOU! Here is the steps I took. 1. Buy normal Caestus 2. Menu swap, Get 99 Caestus 3. Drop normal Caestus 4. Menu swapped again but got -98 Caestus 5. Drop 99 Caestus 6. Then purchased/canceled with Andre 7. Profit It was as simple as that. Thank you so much again!
if your getting an issue where you end up with a 36/43 ces with a 25/29 pine drop Theres a large part of this she forgets to mention drop the ces than try pick it up if you cant you passed the weight limit now drop 25/29 pikes and try pick up it should fail try to repeat that 3 times depending how passes the limit you are, by than it should have cycled through this and picked up a ces eith at least 150 n above
You don't need to purchase the pikes again to pocket Frampt on console, you can just put them in your box (they show up as a negative quantity) then retrieve them and buy the caestus .
am I able to put them all in my storage when I'm done and if I wanna do it can I just grab them from my storage so I dnt half to re but then NVM I figured it out but what I did learn was that If u put all pikes into ur storage but keep the "caestus" that has like the 243 or something mine has (2438) in ur inventory you can keep on doing it over n over without anything on the ground or anything like pikes or armor in ur inventory
Getting the bugged caestus was such a pain in the ass, but once that finally worked this really made completing my Boss Weapon collection a cinch. Thanks!
17 of Oct 2024 and still works, just a thing, if the game dont let you the option of 999, instead of clicking on the weapons page try at the left arrow on the menu (upper left corner) click and press A or X at the same time and it should let you do the trick, salu2
Fyi for all those trying this and not being able to pick items back up even after putting down tons of spears, try to put all your heavy armor and other items in the bottomless pit.(It worked for me)
For the love of god it took a while before I could get this working so Imma just put how I got it working to save someone a headache... Make sure your offline... Buy 1 caestus, then you buy enough to get to 10,000 weight, then you drop whatever item you used to get to 10,000 carry weight... Now the goal is to drop enough of those items (pikes or golem stuff) to where you can actually pick something up (under 9,999 calculate it out first). Then once you know where the weight is buy an extra 29 (pikes or anything heavy), now drop the caestus first, then drop those 29 extra items you bought, then pick up the caestus... {{The max you can drop before the caestus on the ground disappears is 29}} Instead of 1 it should say a number higher than that. So now you good, whatever you do don't drop the caestus after this. First make sure whatever item you want to dupe is in the first slot for both items or materials like shards. Once your set up talk to the blacksmith, go to the caustus and hit buy, instead of buying or canceling press start TWO times to back out of both menus, then go to the brightness setting and do the glitch. Once you get the two menus its two different ways you can do this. 1. X, Down, Right, X, Down, Left, X, to dupe items or boss souls. 2. Right, X, Down, Right, X, Down, Left, X, to dupe materials like chunks. (I was on ps5 so I guess it would be the same for xbox) You start it over again by talking to the blacksmith and repeating that same process. If you did it this way, then congratulations and praise the sun on your new materials.
How do you get the -# to appear when you press down everytime I try to I get 999. I have no other items in my inventory but 1028 pikes and 1 caestus and I drop 29 to get exactly below the carry weight. Plz help
@@SexualWhiteChocolate I'm thinking you have too many pikes maybe drop the caestus first then drop some pikes in a different area... if you have too many pikes you won't be able to pick up the caestus, and you know your under 9999 because your able to pick it up. Thats why I say you really need to calculate that part out first. So then when you pick up the caestus it picked up many.... After that just don't drop or sell the caestus and don't actually buy another caestus cause that might reset it too. As for the - number you have to act like your buying another caestus first but once you get the buy prompt just press start twice, then bring up the system settings, then do the soul glitch... but follow the (menu cheat code) I put above to a T you should know it worked when it sets your brightness on your game back to 5.
@@PigZzzZ its been like a month since I last used this glitch but honestly an explanation wouldn't even be that helpful. You just have to keep trying with different timings until you get it right.
So you're probably wondering if this still works? Today is the 04/30/2022, and I managed to pull the 999 battle axe after fidgeting around. I switched the controller for the keyboard to avoid latency issues and instead of changing menus by clicking on the weapons icon, I used the arrows on the side. So you know, keep trying!
You put 3 “eye of death” on top then show the “souvenir of reprisal” at 99 which it was before you did the glitch and still only have 3 “eye of death” 2:08
well the trick on PC didnt work for me, but i just manualy bught every pike, and then everything worked(that was a pain in the ass to do). Sooo thank you very much, now I can cosplay and enjoy the game, without hadicaping myself too much
great guide and can you make a video how to make a faith build in ds3 i really want to make one and you give great advice and your guides are awsome please
Works on Ps4. Though I had to do some math myself because it wasn't working. I stored all armor and weapons in the box (besides the one I was wearing which on its own weighted 41,4) then bought 999 pikes and one caestus. Then I followed the rest of the video and got 63 caestus and even though this isn't ideal it works.
Yea but it darks souls 3 on PC you can just use item gib to get anything you want without getting banned just make sure you read up super well in what you can and can't spawn in because there are things that could get you banned but I have been using item gib to get whatever I want in dS3 for over a year without getting banned
How can i see how much weight is in my inventory??? I just bought the 1000 pikes, bought the light item, dropped it and then dropped the 25 pikes but i can not pick anything up after doing this :/ i hope someone can explain what im doing wrong Edit: I Solved my problem! I just put all my other weapons and stuff in like the bonfire storage thingy and kept only the 1000 pikes, for anyone else that are facing the same problem as i was there is the soulution 😊👍🏻
You made it much harder than it needed to be. You should of just dropped more pikes. Her estimation of 1000 probably pertains to characters who are near the beginning of the game and don't have many items in their inventory. Also if you're far enough to have a lot of stuff, you should be buying giants shields. I normally need 520 or so giants shields. It's much faster
I almost coughed when reading the the "Thank you to all my legendary SIMPS," 10/10 recommend this channel. they know they got em and make sure everyone knows lmao
I've gotten this to work a few times, but only for items in the first inventory column (boss souls, covenant items). Just can't get it to work for any smithing items. So, this works.... just seems very inconsistent. On XBox.
So the exact number you need for giants gear is as follows shields- 556 this is with no gear at all in your inventory. Can confirm this works as of 08/20/2022
Works for me on ps 5!thanks!but as someone mention if you cant pock up cetus item you must decrease pike number by throughing it on ground or in box on your camp fire.
Works on ps4 remastered as of july 2023. Thank you for this easy to follow guide. Now, anyone now of an easy way of getting rid of all these damn pikes lol
I'm also playing on PS4 but I can't get it to work. Is there something I'm missing cuz every time I go to duplicate an item and press down, I don't get a negative number. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm on PS5. This was working two times then I've tried doing it again and nothing I do seems to get it to work again. Edit: I basically kept playing with it and got it to work about 50% of the time. It doesn't always work as good as I want but it definitely will work if you keep messing with it. Wish I had better details of how but the video basically handles it.
IF YOU ARE STUCK GETTING 99 ON PC READ THIS: The 99x caestus will work, just proceed with the glitch as normal after getting the prompt to buy 99. If it isn't, check the the caestus is making you medium roll when you would otherwise fast roll wielding a normal caestus. If you are stuck getting prompted to only drop one instead of 99, try buying one regular caestus.
Think this may have been patched. Dropped 29 pikes and still got 1 caestus. Only tried doing this because Gravelording sucks against lag switchers EDIT: There's a hidden step, you have to try to pick up the caestus before you drop pikes. If you don't it doesn't work
(Console) May of 2024 I did the thing word for word (bought 1k pikes), bought caestus dropped it then dropped 25 pikes and I can’t pick it up even after I started dropping more pikes
So i discoverd this a bit after i saw the video on the console method if you quit the game you dont have to do the steps all over again you just need to cancer the casetus buy and do the souls dupe glitch and thats it
ive done everything exactly like in the video, but i always get -3 which means i only get 3 more items which takes forever, never mind ive figured it out. she didnt really explain how it works exactly but i know it now, first of all, the max amount you can drop pikes is exactly 29, not 40 like she said in the video. when you drop one more the caestus will disappear and you have to start over. not only that but you wanna drop exactly 29, not 25 like she suggested, if you drop less than that then it will be a bad stack of caestus, only 3 or 20 or something, so count them and make sure its exactly 29. also all these steps dont really matter if you got it to work once. what were looking for is to create this broken stack of caestus, normally you cannot have stacks of weapons, so i guess that fks with the game. either way the bigger the number the better but since you can only make 99 anyway its fine if its above 99 i believe. as long as you have that broken caestus in your inventory you can do the glitch as often as you like, just dont put it into your bottomless box, but you can check with your bottomless box how good the stack is, because it will say the exact number. but the most important part: you can only have one caestus for the method as far as i can tell it only counts the caestus that shows up first in your menu, so if you have one really bad one like a 3 stack like i did at the top, you can only get 3, even if you also got a good one later on. so you need to throw away all the bad ones that are less than 99 by checking them with your bottomless box like i said earlier, this is what had me trippin. if she gave the correct numbers in the first place then i wouldnt have had this issue but what can you do.
so to answer some questions that keep getting asked.
For PC -
1. If it only says 99 instead of 999 when you go to purchase the caestus, you’ve done the prompt swap wrong. Keep trying. Its quite hard to get if youve never done it b4. I raged a lot lmao.
2. Apparently buying 1 normal caestus. Then doing the prompt swap lets you get 999. Worth a shot if you cant seem to get it to work.
For Console -
1. If you pick up the caestus off the ground and still only get one. You need to then drop more pikes. Max you can drop is 40, otherwise the caestus drop disappears. If u drop 40 and still get only 1 caestus you need to get rid of some pikes, as dropping them isnt getting you under 10000 inventory limit to glitch the caestus.
2. Want to dupe upgrade materials? Rearrange your upgrade materials in their tab. when in the 2 menu glitch press 'right' first then the listed 'x down right x'. hope that helps
Thanks for the guide!
I seem to sort of be doing the dupe correctly-ish, but instead of picking up a few hundred caestus, I’m getting somewhere between 7-50. This can still work, it’s just a bit more tedious and requires more dupes to get things up to 99.
Not sure what I’m doing wrong to prevent picking up more caestus after dropping pikes. Thanks
I am on PC and doing my best to follow. But I seem to have a consistent ability to get only to 99 on the axes. I do not know if my timing is off but I feel like I would have gotten it sometime betweem my couple of hours of trying.
Is this glich for PC still working as of now?

@@ivanllera8588 Omg, that worked like charm. Tyvm.
Mine won't go to 99 or 999, only one or -98
September 2023 update for PC users:
- When buying the Axes/glitched Caestus, you need to already have a normal Caestus in your inventory.
- When you pull off the glitch to buy multiple axes, you will only be able to buy 99. This is correct.
- Before you try to glitch the menu to drop negative items, you need to equip your glitched Cestus and drop any other Caestuses you have.
- Due to the above, you will only be able to drop -98 items unfortunately. Luckily, this usually doesn't matter as most items stack to 99.

Consoles Only: Go get 1015 pikes. drop 29 pikes then pick up the caestus. It supposed to say 31. Afterwards, go to Andre and purchase the caestus but cancel it. Then proceed to go with the video. -31 is tedious but you get to your goal that way.
When you do it right it will be over -100 and you can make full stacks every dupe.

@@B3LL7293 I could be wrong to exactly what the cause is, but i think that if you don't drop enough pikes, you'll get the -31 or a different random number that's not --100 or better
Usually if it happens to me, I'll drop more giants shields. Then pick ceastus up and it will give a better - number.
My best method tho is I buy 540 giants shields, then I buy ceastus, drop it, then I drop ten giants shields at a time, attempting to pick up ceastus in between just so it won't dissappear while I lay more shields down.
Once I get near 40, I'll drop 15-20 shields and it always gives me -260 or better.
The amount of giants shields you needs depends on the amount of items you already have. I only need 520 on a late game character.
On a side note, once I have the glitched -260 ceastus I drop all my giants shields. As long as you never touch the glitched ceastus you don't need the max inventory. Don't ever move or upgrade or interact with the ceastus tho.
it only shows me the reset defaults thing
It won't let me pick up the caesyus
Thank you - saved me an extra playthrough just for Sif's soul!
Awesome, glad I could help
Same reason I searched for a dupe glitch.
who here is doing this to complete covenant rewards?
here bro lol

Yeah

I want the darkmoon talisman my ass cannot find 10 people to invade, let alone win with a faith build 😭
To make it convenient for you when you want to dupe again, just keep all the pikes in your bottomless box instead of dropping them. Much faster and easier then buying 1000 pikes again.
How tho they don't stack
@@flawedzak pressing DEL to place the sword in storage , it gonna show 999, press INS to put back in inventory it gonna show 999. Wear it again and it gonna show the 3k weight again.

Can confirm it works on PS5 as of February 6, 2023. Followed everything exact, except I used giant armour purchased from the blacksmith in Anor Londo. Bought 615 giant armour, initially dropped about 23 but it still wouldn’t let me pick up the Caestus because I had so much other gear in me, had to keep dropping armour until I could pick it up (dropped in groups of 5 to make sure I didn’t drop too much). When I finally picked it up it there was only 180ish of it - not the same number as in this video, but it was still plenty to dupe any item to 99 in one go.
Not sure if this makes a difference or not, but when you go to purchase the Caestus again after picking it up, I hit “start” to exit out of the purchase menu - I didn’t click on cancel.
Also, to keep duping more items, just keep going back to the purchase menu and select the Caestus, hit “start” (on ps5) to back out of menu and then do brightness menu glitch again, keep repeating that process for each item you want to dupe. Gonna go wank now good bye
Cheers mate. Also how was the wank?
DUDE YOURE A GOD
THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAY MADE IT WORK FOR ME THANK YOU I HOPE YOU DO WELL IN LIFE
last sentence was funny as hell. nice.
6 Feb 2024!
For PC: if you have none, but a Caestus from Andre. Do the glitch and get 99 caestus. Put the broken weight in your hand and drop the normal one. Do the rest of the video and you should be able to get -98.
thanks bro i couldn't get the 999 caesti.
ty
I love you brother
Thank you men
This is exactly what I needed to know!
The soul duplication glitch also works using Inventory-Item-Drop instead of Merchant-Item-Purchase. I had 999 Wood Arrows and a soul worth 200 unit souls in my inventory. Duplication glitch resulted in the soul being used in exchange for 199,800 unit souls.
Yes but this is a different glitch that actually dupes the item. The one you are referring to only uses the item 999 times but u still lose the item afterwatds
This video is not for using 999 souls, but for getting 999 soul items. For example, there is one soul that you can get only one time per playthrough. With this glitch here you can duplicate it, so you can have it 999 in you inventory, and then use it with the glitch 999 times for 999 stacks
Feb 2024: Can confirm it still works. It's just tricky. Also I have an alternative method for duping upgrade materials after you have the glitches Caestus. Organize whichever one you want to duplicate into the first slot of the materials menu. Do the typical brightness menu overlap. Press right once and you should see the menu change to your materials menu. Press X/A to select the one in the first slot while the brightness menu is still open. Then press down 5 times. This will highlight the drop option. Then press right. This will highlight the default button in the brightness menu but will not change the item menu as pressing right does nothing. Now press X/A and you will see the drop prompt come up. Press down for the negative values and drop them. Pick them back up and you now have 99 of the material. Enjoy.
Is there anyway to quickly get rid of the Pikes
What about for souls cause mine isn't working
Life saver
So will this only work after getting the glitched caestus? Cause I tried it before doing that long and tedious process and I got one item back
@@PotatoMateYTyou need a stack of a negative quantity item causing you to exceed weight limit then you purchase a different item and drop it, thus creating a positive value in your inventory .

In case anyone is wondering.
After you have the glitched ceastus you can drop all of the armor/shield/pikes and as long as you don't touch that ceastus you can still do the dupe.
That way you're character doesn't have to be a dedicated duplication character
Does this glitch work on Xbox one? I tried, but when I bought over 1000+ pikes from Andre, and the caestus, and dropped the specified number of pikes if not more, I still couldn’t pick up the caestus for the glitch to work?
@@jonahbenjamin5295 yea just keep dropping them until you can pick ceastus up.
Thanks for that I was just looking for the answer to this.
@@asdfghjkllkjhgfdsa8725can you pin point what glitches the caestus? I am not able to reliably glitcht it. Sometimes I can, sometimes I cannot....I dont know why....
@mecagoenbb the ceastus is glitched because you bought it when you were overweight limit.
So you drop ceastus on ground, then clear enough pikes/armor out of your inventory to pick the ceastus back up. The ceastus you pick up will be glitched.
I'll say I've had it not work or only partially work if I didn't go high enough above the weight limit or if I don't drop enough pikes/armor back down.
The way I make sure it works is I always use 570 giants armor and drop 50. It's never messed up for me then. This may change depending how much other stuff you have because everytime I've done it I've had a relatively small inventory. If you have a massive inventory you may not need to buy 570 giants armor or you may need to drop more than 50. Just be careful not to go drop to many because at some point the ceastus will dissappear. I want to say the dropped item cap is 80 but I could be wrong.
When it works perfectly you will pick up -260 ceastus or something like that. Somtimes I've picked it up and it says there are like 60 or even less.
PC version here. It worked
Problems: Didn't realize I needed a caestus in my inventory to collect the heavy caestus.
Also didn't know why negative drop values -98 were not showing up, but somehow it worked out when I hit cancel purchase with A instead of B. It finally worked, and I managed to dupe everything except for firekeeper souls
so you can't do it with firekeepers soul?
@@ugandaknuckles4446 correct, fire keeper soul doesn't work.
GUYS I FIGURED OUT AN EVEN EASIER WAY (FOR PC)
Hover over the wooden bolts, same as in the video, but this time place your mouse over the little left arrow at the top left
Instead of clicking then trying to purchase, you have to click them around the same time, you have the slightly delay the purchasing input by like a frame or two
This worked second try for me but I couldn't get the one in the video to work once
Hope this helps
can confirm this method works WAY easier. i keep having only 1 item to purchase (cant get 999/99), with this method, your mouse clicking left arrow (THE MENU, NOT Andre's Wares or keyboard arrows) + E at almost a same time, took me about several times i finally get heavy longsword, at least it does works!, and i only 17 hours away from OP who find it first
@@m1.01zahranormansyah4 haha epic!
thank god, i finally got it to work this way
@@Samandreil no problem, happy duping
Ur a god sheeeeesh
To anyone on PC failing to get the prompt sawp try this. Instead of clicking the weapons tab with your mouse, click on the arrow that is all the way to the left of all of the prompts. This time, click on Mouse1 and X/A at the exact same time instead of having a little bit of a delay when clicking X/A.
this
this worked almost immediately, I cant help but laught at the people who supposedly spent hours trying the normal way
So I've been trying this for a little bit on PC, but to no avail. Could not get the Axe prompt with 999 axes.
Then I had an idea. I got a Logitech mouse, so I made a macro (this doesn't work for quit out part, only for buying).
For anyone interested it is
Press Left click - 15ms Delay - press E - 15ms delay - release left click - 15ms delay - release E
Now after writing this down it wouldn't work with the 15ms delay anymore but with 10ms, so you might have to experiment a little bit with the delays. It's not consistent, but a whole lot easier and quicker, getting it once every 5-10 tries.
This only works if you click on the arrow on the left to switch tabs instead of the Weapon icon.
It bought a super heavy battle axe for me instead of a caestus, but the dupe still worked, I just canceled buying a battle axe instead of the caestus afterwards
Hope this helps
This is glorious lol. I replayed remaster this week and quit after I put Manus soul to the wrong nest so it disappeared :( Now I have to only beat him 1 more time instead of 2 for both items :d
30 drops is the cut off before the caestus disappears. Tried dropping up to 29, tried buying less pikes, still over 1000, trying moving stuff to box, every time, only pick up one caestus.
Edit) Go get 1015 pikes. drop 29 pikes then pick up the caestus. It supposed to say 31. Afterwards, go to Andre and purchase the caestus but cancel it. Then proceed to go with the video. -31 is tedious but you get to your goal that way.
Side note. Do not rush this proceed. You must rinse and repeat each time you get your dupes. But quicker way is to go and purchase the caestus and cancel then proceed the dupe glitch.
@Abdjd Gjshs make sure you don’t have too many stuff in your inventory. Drop another 29 more and pick up the caestus again.
@@B3LL7293 I can't pick the caestus
If anyones having trouble getting it to go negative move the item you want to dupe to the top then go over to the 999 do the "drop" thing then back out and act like your going to buy caestus then do the brightness glitch
I LOVE YOU
Still nothing
Just want to do my part, but wasn't able to get the - value after all the other steps. This fixed it. Thanks a ton. Still only drops 99 of them but 99 is more than enough when combined with the soul-dupe glitch.
A year later and this saved me you’re the absolute goat
March 14th, 2022, still works on Xbox one. Once you get the caestus (getting more than you dropped) I believe you can use the bottomless box to store the hundreds of items you bought to do the glitch. I used Giant's Armor, and did this glitch on divine blessings, then stored all the armor in the box, and I'm still able to do it. Next, I just need to make sure it works after purchasing an item.
How many giants armour did u get
Thank you so much! I had never done this glitch and your tutorial was very well explained. I tried it for fun on firebombs and then on titanite shards. I eventually ended up with an unmanageable amount of caestus (caestuses or caesti?) but it was all good fun. Worked on Remastered latest patch on PS4.
how did u do it on titanite
How is it done with upgrade materials?
i can't dupe firebombs, throwing knives etc using this glitch.how did you manage to duplicate yours?
January 15th 2023 still works on Xbox. A few tips:
1. Can’t have another caestus in your inventory! The one you drop before dropping pikes/ giants shields should be your only one. I spent an hour trying to figure out why it didnt work
2. To dupe titanite shards/chunks/slabs click right before the “A+down+right+A” combo on the brightness screen. This switches the inventory menu you’re on so you can select the titanite.
3. Buy giants shields. They weigh 18 compared the pike’s 10. I know that requires access to Anor Londo though, so depends on where you’re at. Not sure if you’re at the imventory limit? Drop one while still at the giant and try to pick it up
Something to add to this:
If you have the dupe glitch working on NG and beat gwyn, you can run back to andre and it will still be working. I just confirmed this and duped 99 Souls of Gwyn so you don’t have to beat the entire game a second time to 100% it
So, hold up. How do you get the titanite to dupe? I got to the pikes and caestus. She showed item duping. Not sure how to apply this to titanite.
Ay thanks a lot bro was confused as
If you want to make getting the glitched Cestus easier, transfer all weapons and armor outside of the Caestus and Pikes into the Bottomless Box, that way you only have to deal with the weight limit for the pikes.
Thank you! This really helped :))
Yeah already dropped 100 pikes
Thanks it was a pain in the ass going to anor londo for the giant gear haha this will save me big time
Just wanted to thank you for all your work, really helped me!
FOR PC PEOPLE!!!! :
if the prompt shows only 99, you can still get it to work IF your equip load is low enough so you can only walk when the caestus is equipped. then the next steps are the same.
edit: i found out that even if i equipped the caestus and wasn't walking and i could mid roll, the item dupe glitch still worked.
I know this is late but can you explain this to me a bit more i dont understand
@@MarvelousChester-nr9xv if the prompt shows 99, then it would still work so just follow the next steps.
@xkAzehaze no problemo
@@rythic3638 thanks dude
I bought the 99 caestus and followed the next steps. Couldn’t get it to work
Tip for everyone who is struggling to do this on pc because you can only buy 99 axes, not 999: Instead of hovering over and clicking on the weapon icon directly with your mouse, hover over and click on the arrow to the left of the menu of the smith. Still needs good timing but this worked for me.
i can do the item part right every time, but the game hates when i try to quit game/ click inventory. i cant for the life of me get that timing.
This worked for me, POG.
Doesn't work for me, feels like I would have to do the inputs super slow to get them to work but everytime I try there's just the normal prompt to buy the battle axe for 1000 souls. Got the timing when clicking in the weapons tab muktiple times but it only let me scroll to 99 every time
this actually worked for me too, ty for the tip (could only select 99 Battle Axes with the "normal" trick)
Yep this worked better for me thanks king
Pc worked out fine 5/14/22 make sure you only have the heavy ceastus any extras will cause it to not go negative. Was able to dupe black bomb, pine, souls, humanity, upgrade materials, arrows. Thanks!
Still works in 2022 on ps5. Thank you for this. Helped me get the platinum in one play through.

Dark souls post 6 hours ago about a dupe glitch?!?!
I love this community
PC user - 4 June 2023
i found that dropping off all caestus onto the floor EXCEPT the glitched one (one with abnormal weight) allowed me to get the -98 drop amount for the dupe to work. the glitched caestus should be the only caestus in your inventory.
if you bought an extra caestus before getting the super heavy one try dropping the one that isn't heavy if you can't get the drop -98 or -998 prompt
can you help me this glitc
Thanks ! It worked for me after I dropped the light caestus just like u said
YOU! YOU WERE THE KEY! THANK YOU! Here is the steps I took.
1. Buy normal Caestus
2. Menu swap, Get 99 Caestus
3. Drop normal Caestus
4. Menu swapped again but got -98 Caestus
5. Drop 99 Caestus
6. Then purchased/canceled with Andre
7. Profit
It was as simple as that. Thank you so much again!
Honestly the only reference my friends and I use, thanks
I successfully pulled this off on the switch 28th Oct 2023
May the dark shine your way
if your getting an issue where you end up with a 36/43 ces with a 25/29 pine drop
Theres a large part of this she forgets to mention drop the ces than try pick it up if you cant you passed the weight limit now drop 25/29 pikes and try pick up it should fail try to repeat that 3 times depending how passes the limit you are, by than it should have cycled through this and picked up a ces eith at least 150 n above
On xbox one and I did all the steps but it wouldn't let me pick up the caestus
Same ceastus disappeared ,:(
Drop more pikes until you can grab it, and if you drip too many pikes the caestus dessapear
Do the glitch with no other items in your inv besides thoses youll dupe. Super easy that way
You are awesome, saved my platinum run!
ty a build I was doing needed both the manus catalyst and the pursuers spell, so this literally saved me from a whole 2nd playthrough lmao
Thank you so much for the help! While I love the music(being a metal head), its a bit louder than your voice.
Can confirm it works on latest PC patch as of Jan 4th 2023 :)
You don't need to purchase the pikes again to pocket Frampt on console, you can just put them in your box (they show up as a negative quantity) then retrieve them and buy the caestus .
am I able to put them all in my storage when I'm done and if I wanna do it can I just grab them from my storage so I dnt half to re but then
NVM I figured it out but what I did learn was that
If u put all pikes into ur storage but keep the "caestus" that has like the 243 or something mine has (2438) in ur inventory you can keep on doing it over n over without anything on the ground or anything like pikes or armor in ur inventory
Getting the bugged caestus was such a pain in the ass, but once that finally worked this really made completing my Boss Weapon collection a cinch. Thanks!
Oh damn you still making darksouls content I respect that

Fyi for all those trying this and not being able to pick items back up even after putting down tons of spears, try to put all your heavy armor and other items in the bottomless pit.(It worked for me)
For the love of god it took a while before I could get this working so Imma just put how I got it working to save someone a headache... Make sure your offline... Buy 1 caestus, then you buy enough to get to 10,000 weight, then you drop whatever item you used to get to 10,000 carry weight... Now the goal is to drop enough of those items (pikes or golem stuff) to where you can actually pick something up (under 9,999 calculate it out first). Then once you know where the weight is buy an extra 29 (pikes or anything heavy), now drop the caestus first, then drop those 29 extra items you bought, then pick up the caestus... {{The max you can drop before the caestus on the ground disappears is 29}} Instead of 1 it should say a number higher than that. So now you good, whatever you do don't drop the caestus after this.
First make sure whatever item you want to dupe is in the first slot for both items or materials like shards.
Once your set up talk to the blacksmith, go to the caustus and hit buy, instead of buying or canceling press start TWO times to back out of both menus, then go to the brightness setting and do the glitch.
Once you get the two menus its two different ways you can do this.
1. X, Down, Right, X, Down, Left, X, to dupe items or boss souls.
2. Right, X, Down, Right, X, Down, Left, X, to dupe materials like chunks.
(I was on ps5 so I guess it would be the same for xbox)
You start it over again by talking to the blacksmith and repeating that same process.
If you did it this way, then congratulations and praise the sun on your new materials.
How do you get the -# to appear when you press down everytime I try to I get 999. I have no other items in my inventory but 1028 pikes and 1 caestus and I drop 29 to get exactly below the carry weight. Plz help
@@SexualWhiteChocolate I'm thinking you have too many pikes maybe drop the caestus first then drop some pikes in a different area... if you have too many pikes you won't be able to pick up the caestus, and you know your under 9999 because your able to pick it up. Thats why I say you really need to calculate that part out first. So then when you pick up the caestus it picked up many.... After that just don't drop or sell the caestus and don't actually buy another caestus cause that might reset it too.
As for the - number you have to act like your buying another caestus first but once you get the buy prompt just press start twice, then bring up the system settings, then do the soul glitch... but follow the (menu cheat code) I put above to a T you should know it worked when it sets your brightness on your game back to 5.

@@AnxiousCinder I don’t believe it can dupe armor purely because it can only dupe items that you can have stacks of multiple
You made it much harder than it needed to be. You should of just dropped more pikes.
Her estimation of 1000 probably pertains to characters who are near the beginning of the game and don't have many items in their inventory.
Also if you're far enough to have a lot of stuff, you should be buying giants shields. I normally need 520 or so giants shields. It's much faster

Ok my inventory was to full to pick caestus back up. Had to empty it.
IF YOU ARE STUCK GETTING 99 ON PC READ THIS:
The 99x caestus will work, just proceed with the glitch as normal after getting the prompt to buy 99. If it isn't, check the the caestus is making you medium roll when you would otherwise fast roll wielding a normal caestus. If you are stuck getting prompted to only drop one instead of 99, try buying one regular caestus.
Im just simping for you for this video alone!
Think this may have been patched. Dropped 29 pikes and still got 1 caestus. Only tried doing this because Gravelording sucks against lag switchers
EDIT: There's a hidden step, you have to try to pick up the caestus before you drop pikes. If you don't it doesn't work
That's not a hidden step. She says it in the video
how would you do this with titanite chunks since you cannot change the order to be on top of the estus?

For some reason it got me 999 axe not fist weapon but what ever it still worked in the end, lol, heck of a lot better than getting 99 and not working
(Console) May of 2024
I did the thing word for word (bought 1k pikes), bought caestus dropped it then dropped 25 pikes and I can’t pick it up even after I started dropping more pikes
Drop some I had to drop around 36 my theory for needing to drop more is that our inventory weight when we did this trick was higher than hers
On Xbox One, when going to brightness, if you hit "A" and then "RB", you're immediately taken out of the brightness screen.
Thx, now I can upgrade multiple armor sets to +10 without having to play through 20 times
How did u do it
Can confirm it works PS5 version Jan 4 2023.
So i discoverd this a bit after i saw the video on the console method if you quit the game you dont have to do the steps all over again you just need to cancer the casetus buy and do the souls dupe glitch and thats it
How do you purchase cancel the caestus? Nvm just figured it out, thanks for the video!! Really helped me save time on farming titanite chunks :)
how did you do it?
Yo how do you dupe materials like titanite??
ive done everything exactly like in the video, but i always get -3 which means i only get 3 more items which takes forever, never mind ive figured it out. she didnt really explain how it works exactly but i know it now, first of all, the max amount you can drop pikes is exactly 29, not 40 like she said in the video. when you drop one more the caestus will disappear and you have to start over. not only that but you wanna drop exactly 29, not 25 like she suggested, if you drop less than that then it will be a bad stack of caestus, only 3 or 20 or something, so count them and make sure its exactly 29. also all these steps dont really matter if you got it to work once. what were looking for is to create this broken stack of caestus, normally you cannot have stacks of weapons, so i guess that fks with the game. either way the bigger the number the better but since you can only make 99 anyway its fine if its above 99 i believe. as long as you have that broken caestus in your inventory you can do the glitch as often as you like, just dont put it into your bottomless box, but you can check with your bottomless box how good the stack is, because it will say the exact number. but the most important part: you can only have one caestus for the method as far as i can tell it only counts the caestus that shows up first in your menu, so if you have one really bad one like a 3 stack like i did at the top, you can only get 3, even if you also got a good one later on. so you need to throw away all the bad ones that are less than 99 by checking them with your bottomless box like i said earlier, this is what had me trippin. if she gave the correct numbers in the first place then i wouldnt have had this issue but what can you do.
Can I put the pikes into the bottomless box? I can’t pick up any weapons that are purely world spawn or loot drops.
@@blackwatermerc9135 once your done you just drop your pikes until you can pick up other items again
Sweet! I followed your comment to the T and it worked! Thanks for saving me tons of time 😁
