Blood Stone Shard as Enemy Drops

• Possible drop from Wolf Beasts. Once you have reached the shortcut in Old Yharnam you can farm shards from the wolves in that area, which is nice to upgrade all your weapons. The Wolf Beast just before the Old Yharnam lantern appears to have a near 100% drop rate, with the chance of getting two at a time, and will also drop Beast Blood Pellets rarely.
• Possible drop from Large Huntsmen on the walkway above sewers.
• Possible drop from Church Giant
• Possible drop from Snatchers
• Possible drop from Viper Pits and Greater Viper Pits
• Possible reward for defeating Chalice Dungeon bosses in depth 1 chalices.
• Possible drop from Hunting Dogs in Hemwick Charnel Lane.
• Possible drop from Scurrying Beasts in Nightmare Frontier

Blood Stone Shard Notes

• An efficient, relatively early place to farm is Hypogean Gaol lamp. Immediately down the stairs are two snatchers, who almost always drop blood stone shards (when they don't, they drop twin blood stone shards). Further down the stairs, through the first available doorway, are two more snatchers, with the same drop rates.
• You will need 3 to get to +1, 5 to +2, and 8 to +3 for a total of 16.
