Andre of Astora

Description


A blacksmith residing in the old church building in Undead Parish. Specialized in physical path and Magic weapon enchantments using Faith

Location


Undead Parish
Next to the main church building is a stone bridge (guarded by 2 sword-wielding and 1 crossbow-wielding Undead Soldiers) that goes out towards the forest. Halfway through the bridge, you will hear metals clanging. Follow this path to a small structure (the old church). The old church has 3 floors, the top is a ruined temple, the middle floor has a bonfire and bridge to Sen's Fortress and the lowest level is where Andre will be working. Also down a short staircase from Andre is a large room with a Prowling Demon.

Giant Blacksmith

Description


A giant blacksmith residing in the main cathedral building of Anor Londo. He's an acquaintance of Hawkeye Gough, keeping the latter's Hawk Ring after his retirement from the Four Knights of Gwyn. Specialized in crafting unique weapons.

Location


Anor Londo

In the right-wing side (your left side) of the main cathedral building. Can only be accessed from the inside, as the grille door is locked from the outside. From the large cathedral room with two Royal Sentinels and a Silver Knight Archer, there are 2 paths:

Remember to open the grille door leading back to the Sentinels, so it is easier to access the blacksmith again.

Vamos

Description


A skeletal blacksmith residing in the Catacombs. Specialized in fire enchantments.

Location


The Catacombs
At the end of the spiral staircase near the fourth Necromancer (who's guarding a switch), look below. You'll see an item glow, a Green Titanite Shard, on a corpse below. Drop down to it (don't roll, as you may overshoot and slip further down below and the fall damage might kill you). From the corpse, drop down to the broken wooden plank below, then enter the hole. After the cutscene, you can access Vamos' room from the Skeleton Wheel area.
In the Remastered version, a new bonfire has been added to the area, but it isn't recommended to rest at it early into the game, as it'll make the walk back to Firelink Shrine considerably more difficult.
