How to trade with Snuggly
Just drop your items in the nest, the dropped items will be instantly traded and you just have to pick it up! If you don't pick it up, the item will be lost.
You can trade each item once per play-through and all trades are irreversible.
Snuggly Location
There are 2 ways to access Snuggly:

Without Tower Key
This may seem tricky, but once you get the hang of it you'll see it's quite easy.
Try to get as high as you can on the tree before jumping... uh... yeah...

Dark Souls III - Getting to Pickle-Pee, tree jump skip

With Tower Key

After you buy the Tower Key (20,000 Souls) from the Shrine Handmaid, go outside, up the circular stair (opposite side from samurai) and jump off the from bridge to the roof of the Shrine, after that just go straight and you'll find the nest on the roof.

  • "Pickle-pee" and "Pump-a-rum" come from an old children's poem called "The Ceremonial Band" by James Reeves. In the poem, "pickle-pee" is the sound of a fife and "pump-a-rum" is the sound of a drum.
  • Demon's Souls version is known as Sparkly the Crow, because she only accepted sparkling items.

Didnt know skelebois in carthus could drop vertebrae shackles. So that helps with farming!

I dropped a rubbish in his nest at undead asylum, used homeward bound to go to the bonfire and when I went back to his nest, it was gone and no titanite chunk.

Good luck with your research, then! I hope I can find some ways to help you finish it.:steamhappy:
Gabrol  [author] 6 Nov, 2016 @ 9:57pm 
not that I know of, I still have to finish the "Where to find the items" section and research a bit, but I don't think so
VerilyValerie 6 Nov, 2016 @ 8:39pm 
Oh well, such a shame.
Is there another way to get the lightning urn?
(Or an iron helm)
Gabrol  [author] 6 Nov, 2016 @ 1:20am 
No, trades are one time only and no reversable
VerilyValerie 6 Nov, 2016 @ 1:03am 
Another question would be if I could get items back from snuggly? I gave Lorettas bone to them before I even knew about Greirat and I was just wondering.
