- One dropped by a Crystal Lizard on the higher stone bridge in the Corvian Settlement, leading into a Corvian with claws that drops down in front of you. From the Snowy Mountain Pass bonfire, head back where Vilhelm was, exit the building, go right and up the ladder, cross the roof and it should be on the left by the stone bridge.
- Two dropped by 2 Crystal Lizards behind the illusory wall in the basement of Ariandel Chapel, the one leading to the Dunnel area.
Notes
- 1 For +1 Upgrade; 2 for + 2 Upgrade; 4 for +3 Upgrade; 8 for +4 Upgrade; and a Titanite Slab for +5
- The drop rate from Rock Lizards in Archdragon Peak is actually pretty high. It's not uncommon to get 2-3 drops in one run, by only farming the 6 lizards between the Great Bellfry bonfire and the lone tower, with a decent item find.

What's the earliest Twinkling weapon you can get? Firelink alone has enough titanites to make it +2...

If you can kill dancer early, then you have yourself plenty of this and scales to get a +4 weapon before abyss watchers

If you do Siegward's questline, you can get a Twinkling Titanite to +5 before ever fighting your second Lord of Cinder.

JUST SAVE THE TWINKS FOR PKCS AND JOINT THE DS3 PRO RANK! But no shiit, the other weapons that require twinks are completely garbage while pkcs is the absolute best in the game so just do as I say and git gud

it's 4 in the painted world, not 3. 1 from the roots leading down to depths, 1 from the stone bridge leading to the corvian, 2 behind the illusory wall in the chapel basement

If you manage to find and kill all the crystal lizards, buy the three from Greirat after sending him to Irithyl and trading the crows(both for a twinkly and a slab) you can actually fully upgrade the weapon before you even fight Pontiff Sulyvahn.

The large leather shield gives a titanite chunk, not a twink.
You can't reach the Crystal lizard in firelink shrine with the tree jump

Most of the weapons from the Ringed City require Twinkling Titanite as well (the 3 Ringed Knight weapons, Ledo's hammer, Aquamarine dagger, White Birch bow, Crucifix of the Mad King, Preacher's Right Arm).

There’s a 4th one in the painted world, after the first incouter with the Great Wolf, just around the cliff side you’ll see a tower with Greatbow archers in it, ascend the tower, climb the ladder and then go down the set of stairs just to the left and there will be a crystal lizard that drops 1x Twinkling titanite.

if you can't get to Archdragon Peak yet, fight Hobbled Clerics in the Ringed City. It can take some time but they definitely drop Twinkling Titanite.

There are two crystal lizards leading to dunnel in ashes and both drop twinkling titanite

With the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +3 you can farm the infinite-respawning knight at the second Archdragon Peak Bonfire for 5,400 souls. Every 3 kills buys you one Twinkling Titanite from the Shrine Handmaiden. With the Dragon Tooth I can kill him once every 30 seconds indefinitely, so thats a Twinkling Titanite every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Not sure if it's only me, but I often find 4 twinkies in Ariandel; there are actually 2 lizards behind illusionary wall leading to Dunnel, second one is just to the right when you enter the room.

i think you always get 2 for killing the "body" of angels in the ringed city
so you know how these are a "common" drop? and that the titanite scales are "rare" drops? i got 4 titanite scales before i even got 2 of the twinkling titanite

Wiki is lacking in info its kinda sad cause your letting alot of players down.

Early game, the soonest you can get enough Twinkling Titanite to upgrade a single item to +4 is right after defeating the Pontiff. (Assuming your Thief successfully scavenged the area, and the Dancer is not defeated yet.)
Also can be bougth if you return the Dragonchaser's Ashes to the Shrine Handmaid.
