How to Reach Snuggly the Crow in Dark Souls: A Comprehensive Guide
So, you’re venturing through the treacherous lands of Lordran, and you’ve heard whispers of a peculiar crow named Snuggly, offering valuable trades in exchange for seemingly useless items. Reaching this feathered friend in the Northern Undead Asylum requires a bit of legwork, but fear not, intrepid adventurer! This guide will lead you straight to her nest.
First, you must have already completed the initial section of the game, escaping the Undead Asylum and arriving at Firelink Shrine. This is crucial because the path back to the asylum only opens after you’ve progressed to this point. From Firelink Shrine, locate the crow’s nest near Pickle Pee, Pump-a-Rum, a different, similar crow in Dark Souls 3. Interact with the nest, and you will be transported back to the Undead Asylum. Once back in the Undead Asylum, proceed through the level until you reach the area outside the boss arena where you fought the Asylum Demon. Instead of entering the arena, look for a broken wall to the left. Carefully drop down and navigate the ledges. Snuggly’s nest is located on one of these ledges. As you approach, Snuggly will begin to speak to you, signaling that you’ve found the right spot. Now, prepare your trades and reap the rewards!
Understanding Snuggly’s Services
Snuggly the Crow isn’t just a friendly face; she’s a shrewd trader. She only accepts specific items and offers unique rewards in return. Knowing what to offer and what you’ll receive is key to maximizing your encounters with her. You can only trade one of each item per playthrough. Keep this in mind to make the right selections!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Snuggly
How do I interact with Snuggly?
To interact with Snuggly, simply drop the desired item into her nest. She will not respond immediately. You must then quit the game and reload your save. Upon returning, the item you dropped will be gone, and your reward will be in its place. Do not drop multiple items at once; she only accepts one at a time.
What items can I trade with Snuggly, and what do I get in return?
Here’s a list of items you can trade with Snuggly and the corresponding rewards:
- Bloodred Moss Clump: Twinkling Titanite
- Purple Moss Clump: Twinkling Titanite
- Blooming Purple Moss Clump: 2 Twinkling Titanite
- Cracked Red Eye Orb: 2 Purging Stone
- Dung Pie: Demon Titanite
- Egg Vermifuge: Dragon Scale
- Pendant: Souvenir of Reprisal
What is the Snuggly glitch?
The Snuggly glitch (or rather, an exploit) involved manipulating the game’s save system to duplicate items. It typically involved dropping an item into Snuggly’s nest, quitting the game without letting it save, and reloading. This could sometimes result in both the traded item and the reward being present, effectively duplicating the reward. However, this glitch has been patched out in many versions of the game.
How many times can I trade with Snuggly?
You can trade with Snuggly once per item per playthrough. This means you can only receive one Twinkling Titanite for a Bloodred Moss Clump in a single playthrough, for example.
Why isn’t Snuggly talking to me?
If Snuggly isn’t talking, ensure you are in the correct location (the nest on the ledge after returning to the Undead Asylum). Also, make sure you’ve progressed far enough in the game (escaped the Asylum and visited Firelink Shrine). If you are in the correct location and have met the prerequisites, try quitting and reloading the game.
