Starting Site of Grace: Ruined Forge of Starfall Past

Before you go

  • To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
  • Reach Scadu Altus.
  1. From Moorth Ruins, travel southwest to the ruined forge. Look for the entrance between two burning braziers, with Misbegotten enemies nearby. Go inside and activate this forge grace.
  2. Cross the bridge in the first chamber and use the lever on the left to lower the large iron gate. Drop to the lower floor and go through the opening. Continue past the golem beside the broken rocks into the next passage, then climb the ladder on the right.
  3. In the room with the golem and two burning blobs, climb the rubble to the upper doorway. Drop onto the metal platform beyond it and follow the narrow walkway into the next chamber.
  4. Go past the seated golem and use the second lever to lower the next gate. Use that lever again to raise it, then quickly get onto the moving gate before it rises out of reach. Ride it up and step off onto the upper landing.
  5. Follow the upper passage to this forge altar and examine it. You receive the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone together.

Notes

  • Requires 35 Strength, 10 Dexterity and 19 Arcane, and weighs 22. Two-handing meets the Strength requirement at 24 Strength, while the other requirements remain unchanged.
  • Strength supplies the strongest Physical scaling, Arcane improves both Physical and Magic damage, and Dexterity contributes only a little Physical scaling. Intelligence does not improve its Magic damage.
  • It has no innate Blood Loss buildup despite requiring Arcane. Its Arcane requirement and Magic damage do not automatically make it a bleed weapon.
  • The first heavy attack is a thrust in both the one-handed and two-handed chain, including when charged. That gives it another piercing option besides its crouching attack.
  • White Light Charge costs 10 FP for the forward rush. Its follow-up explosion costs another 25 FP, so reserve 35 FP if you want to finish both parts.
  • Both parts use the weapon's attack power, including its large Physical portion. The bright explosion is not a separate Faith-scaled Holy attack; Strength and Arcane remain relevant to its damage.
  • The rush deals 12 stance damage and the follow-up another 24 if both connect. The second input is optional, which helps when the enemy's opening closes after the initial thrust.
  • Shard of Alexander improves the skill. Spear Talisman can help its Physical piercing counter-hits, while Godfrey Icon does not boost the skill because its name refers to a rush rather than a chargeable attack.
  • Uses Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Its skill and affinity are fixed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
  • After riding the raised gate, examine the altar. It gives both the weapon and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone; no boss or enemy drop is required.
