The Harvester:
To unlock The Harvester (Scythe) for purchase, pause the game and select "Options" > "Enter Code" and enter "The Hollow Lord" (case-sensitive). Then, visit Vulgrim to purchase it for 1000 Souls.
Chaoseater Max Level:
When fighting the Stygian, you can max out your Chaoseater Blade by attacking it repeatedly. Begin the battle with the Stygian by killing phantom guard soldiers while riding Ruin. After the Stygian frees itself, ride along side the Stygian and strike its body. Do not strike the helmet or it will break off and the Stygian will attack. Equip Combat Lore to increase the experience you get from each strike; Bloodthirt will replenish your health. The Stygian will sink under the sand and resurface. Repeat the process to get the maxed out Chaoseater.
If you mess up and knock off the helmet, you can exit the battle. After removing the Stygian's helmet, ride Ruin to the closed doorway during the battle. You will jump off Ruin and have control of Ruin. Keep your back against the door and wait for the Stygian to come right at you. He will knock you right through the door and you can go back to Vulgrim. Come back to fight the phantom guard soldiers and the Stygian when you are ready.

Finding the final Wrath Shard:
To find the final Wrath Shard, use the Serpent Hole to reach The Ashlands. Take a right out of the small cave you are transported to, and continue down the path until you reach the area with the three monsters hanging from the ceiling with the wire that you can jump to in the middle. Jump on the wire to the left of the monsters, and continue left. Grab the growth, and pull yourself up into the opening. Then, look to the right and up. You should see an orange object you can use to grab with the chain. After using the chain, walk slightly further into the area to find a chest with the last Wrath Shard.
Infinite Souls:
In The Black Throne, on the way to the Third Guardian, you will approach a bridge with spinning portals (The Black Throne, The Third Guardian III). When you get across, you will first be ambushed by a Rot Mauler and a Shield Lord. Defeat them and your next opponents will be one Shield Lord and four low-level soldiers. Do NOT kill the Shield Lord. Instead, keep killing off the four soldiers and they will keep coming back, giving you as many souls and as much experience to max out your weapons as you want! To make things easier, run away from the Shield Lord whenever he gets close, and the four soldiers will follow (they are faster than the Shield Lord so you should be able to get some hits in, run away when the Shield Lord gets close, hit the soldiers some more, rinse and repeat).
