Hawk Girl |
|---|
 |
Hawk Girl, informally referred to by the community as Snuggly (Warm and Fuzzy) is a character in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. Located in the Northern Undead Asylum, she will trade items with you. To trade, drop the item you are offering in her small nest, then quit your game and reload. When you come back, your reward will be in the nest.
Where to find the Hawk Girl
In the Northern Undead Asylum, after beating the Asylum Demon fight and opening the large door with the Big Pilgrim's key, move forwards up the pathway. Once you see gravestones to your right, break from the path and go right. the Hawk Girl's nest is located on a narrow platform jutting from the cliff.
Hawk Girl Trading
Note: You do not have to save and quit the game to trade items (on Xbox One, however, you do). Simply jumping off the edge to your death and then re-spawning at the bonfire will have the same effect. You can also use a Homeward Bone or equivalent. As long as your game has to go through a loading screen, the Hawk Girl will have your exchanged item.
- IMPORTANT: Only one item is exchanged at a time. Dropping more than one of an item, either separately or in a stack, or dropping different items and trading it away will result in the exchange of only the last item dropped, and the loss of all the excess items, without any additional gain. Only drop one item at a time.
- This barter merchant is located in the Northern Undead Asylum, she is accessible the moment you beat the first boss of the game (not many people have something to trade at this point in NG, though).
- After stepping out from the large crow's nest and facing towards the Asylum, the Hawk Girl's small nest is located a bit downwards and to the left (before the torch Hollows).
- Once you trade an item, you cannot trade the same item again on the same playthrough.
- If you drop an invalid item inside the nest, the Hawk Girl will tell you if she doesn't want it, either saying she has enough if you already traded that item or that the item isn't soft and warm if she doesn't want it at all. If she says nothing (and you dropped the item in the correct location) she will carry out the conversion as soon as you leave the area.
- It is important to drop the item into the nest. It will be gone if you drop it in front of it.
- For the Pyromancy Flame trades, the Hawk Girl will only accept flames without any additional upgrades (+1, +2, etc).
- Upgrade the Pyromancy Flame to +15, then ascend it from the Blighttown swamp NPC to the higher level Pyromancy Flame (can be upgraded to +5 eventually), trade this ascended version with the Hawk Girl, and you will gain a Red Titanite Slab.

Glitch:
Before patch 1.05 you could trade items with the Hawk Girl infinitely or so as long as you had the item to trade (do not try it now).
- Place the item you want to trade in the nest.
- Quit and reload (or die, but that's slower).
- BEFORE you pick up the item the Hawk Girl gives you, drop another (identical) item, if you change the item type, you wont be able to trade that one again until next play through.
- Now pick up the item she gave you.
- Repeat (OR if you want to stop trading, pick up the item you just placed so you can continue at another time)
- This exploit has been corrected in patch 1.05. If you try to trade ANY item already traded at any point in the past (per play through), it will simply disappear. the Hawk Girl will then no longer accept the item for further trades. (It has been confirmed that patch 1.05 has removed the infinite trading with the Hawk Girl)
- If you are trading for twinkling titanite and run out of the moss clumps you are trading, you can just leave the last traded titanite there and continue at a later time.
AnonymousBe careful not to put more than one item in one go, it trades only one item, the rest is gone.

For all who are interested, Snuggly has 2 nests at Northern Undead Asylum when you get there. leave the Big nest you travel. Follow path down. turn to your left on an outcropped ledge just before you make contact with the hollows is the smaller trading nest. Drop your item here one at a time. Reload.
*I did not know from reading this there are 2 nests at the asylum. No wonder players have difficulty trading & lose their items.

I've left a Sunlight Medal in the nest, quit the game, continue, my medal has gone, nothing else in place of it. The trading didn't work. Playing offline, if that matters.

It’s no longer working after defeating the Stray Demon! A bug? A feature? Lease help!

I dropped Ascended Pyromancy flame, and I tried to skip out of the dialogue by pressing B. I accidentally backstepped and died. My last bonfire was the Daughter of Chaos, but when I came back, the slab was there. Thank god.

Heads up, if snuggly isn't talking to you, jump off the cliff at her nest and when you come back she'll speak to you. Atleast that's what happend to me.

It's purely luck based if Snuggly actually gives you the item or not, which is why I hate the fact that valuable items such as humanity and the Soul of Manus are included as tradeable items. This could've been avoided if they had used literally any other system that didn't involve quitting and reloading the game.

Ok but why is it called "Snuggly"? It never gets referenced in the game.

Could put a big warning: IT'S NOT THE ONES YOU USE TO TRAVEL WITH THE BIRD. Or something like that
worded the directions to hopefully have less people drop their items in the wrong nest by accident, also changed the image to be higher quality.

IMPORTANT: Trading is not done through the two nests that allow travel (curl up like a ball), but a THIRD nest somewhere in Northern Undead Asylum.

I enjoy that the photograph for this article was taken on an old digital camera, complete with the date in the corner.

This is one of those legendary Dark Souls 1 "events" that is almost impossible to imagine how much hard work the community must have put in, just so we can come along over a decade later and see a nice, neat, convenient little list.

Does snuggly not show up until after the Taurus Demon? I used the Master Key to get past Havel and bypass TD. Snuggly is not there.

Wtf why would you ever wilfully kill yourself? Quit-continue takes like 5 seconds or so

Well, I guess thats a soul of Manus I'm never getting back. Maybe I should be more careful about where I put my items when trading next time

The big headed crown can’t be upgraded or he won’t accept it

This is actually one of the most useful NPCs in my opinion, like, you can give him trash and he will give you a diamond

There’s no reason for the crow not to accept upgraded stuff other than to screw the player over for something they couldn’t possibly predict to make the game feel unnecessarily punishing. A pyro flame up to +15 is still a regular flame and ascended up to +5 is still an ascended version.

English is not my native language, so I can't really say for sure (an so I don't dare to edit it myself) but to me "Only drop one item at a time." feels like a very misleading phrasing, it should say something like "per play through"

So... I'm playing Remastered on PS4 and... something weird happened.
I want to preface this by saying I'm playing offline cause I'm a broke mf. I was trading with Snuggly, exiting and coming back, then, the start menu had me agree to some terms and conditions that turned out of be for online features, which I thought weird, but... I actually started seeing bloodstains, messages and phantoms. I don't know why this happened, but it only lasted like 4 days until I tried trading with snuggly for something else and the start menu just sent me to the "Subscribe to PS+" screen. It's weird because my brother, who was playing DS3, could also access to online features.
As if that wasn't weird enough, some time after finishing it (this happened like 3 weeks ago), THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN while trading with the birds in DS2 (SotFS) two days ago...
Then my brother disconnected the controller a few hours ago and I lost online features again.
Am I cursed/blessed by the gods of free ephemeral online gaming?
Seriously, though. What the fok happened?

Yeah, why use a lawn mower, when you can use nail scissors instead? Way more convenient.

You can still trade in Manus' Soul for Pursuers even if you don't have the AotA

i put down the Xanthous Crown, but it was +5 aaaaaaaaaaaand now its gone

Putting down the same item before picking up your first dropped item after you quit game and come back won’t allow me to get another of the same item traded again ie I can’t continually drop purple moss if above information is in correct or I’m doing something wrong please advise

Is Snuggly fan named, or is it in the game files like Oscar?

I'm also having trouble Remastered on PS4. Had to quit/reload to make Snuggly speak, then when I try Dung Pie she won't take it. Tried Prism Stone; no dialogue whatsoever and no item upon reload. Now I need to warp out, buy another one, come back... I'm running out of Dung Pies to keep trying. I completely understand why a crow doesn't want a dung pie but the list says I can trade for Demon Titanite and that's an important item, so I really want it...

Not sure why this isn't part of the guide but: Every time you reload Dark Souls, your character's position is moved backwards very slightly. Therefore, if you have your back to a cliff and quit and reload the game repeatedly, you will eventually spawn off the cliff edge and fall to your death. Simply make sure you are facing the cliff edge and this will never happen.

On remastered I found it useful to quit to the main menu and reload before dropping my first item, after reaching the nest. Hope that helps some other people.

For some reason it won't allow me to drop purple or bloodred moss clump to snuggly. Blooming purple moss clump works just fine. Also I can't even see him, I only hear his voice and can trade with him just fine but there's nobody XD just the voice.

Learn from my mistake and be very careful of where you reload your game while trading: I got complacent and just stayed in the nest, dropping items, quitting, reloading, and getting my trades from Snugly. But then, on the last trade I was going to make, I dropped an Ascended Pyromancer Flame, quit (staying in exactly the same place I had been for a dozen other trades, hadn't moved an inch), then loaded the game already falling out the nest! By the time I made it back to Snugly's nest, the Red Titanite Slab was GONE! I can only assume that Snugly went hollow and pushed me
Snuggly is not working on the second time around. It's not sqwakin or anything. I left rubbish with no luck. What's up?

My game is not updated so thanks for the item trade. I was able to get the dragon Torso Stone.

Dropped single, valid item in the center of the nest. Quit game, reloaded. No item for me to pick up. Tried again in a slightly different location (in the nest). Still nothing, and now I'm out of those items. Not happy about it.
Don't quit the game to reload unless you want to lose your items for nothing.
