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:

  • Find the broken stained glass window on the top balcony of the large cathedral room. Pass through the window and drop down to the right on to some large steps. Walk around a small ledge and drop down to a balcony where the Dragonslayer Greatbow and single Dragonslayer Arrow are located. Pick off at range or drop down again to finish off the Bat Wing Demon located outside the blacksmith's front door.
  • Near the Silver Knight Archer, there's a small bridge that leads to the building with a spiral staircase. At the bottom of the staircase is the blacksmith.

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

Use

  • Can reinforce weapons using the appropriate Titanite.
  • Can ascend +10 Normal weapons to Lightning weapons.
  • Can ascend +10 Normal weapons to Crystal weapons if given the Crystal Ember, found in the Duke's Archives.
  • Can ascend weapons using boss souls if the player has the correct materials.
  • Can repair any1 damaged equipment for souls. Cost depends on the equipment's soul-cost-per-durability ratio and the amount of durability repaired.
