I picked the bonfire ascetic for the start gift but where should I actually use it to be useful
>>747650757You use it to re-battle a boss you like, as God intended
>>747650757At bonfires, outside of Majula.It resets the boss and makes them ng+. That allows you to farm them again and get a second boss soul.Not necessarily the best starting gift if you don't know what to do with it. Not a bad choice either. Wait until you actually have some boss souls and see if you want to farm one again.
>>747650757Some boss souls can only be received from their NG+ version. Like the Moonlight Greatsword from the Duke's Dear Freja.
