Crafting after obtaining Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [20]

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: First Mt. Gelmir Campsite

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook [20]
• Empty Cracked Pot
• Ingredients for one pot: 2 Volcanic Stone
• 3,000 runes

1. Reach Altus Plateau using both Dectus Medallion halves at the Grand Lift of Dectus, or climb the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and defeat Magma Wyrm Makar.
2. Travel around northern Altus and cross the rope bridge near Writheblood Ruins to Bridge of Iniquity. Follow the lower road with the cliff on your left.
3. Near the Abductor Virgins, find the long ladder between two torches on that left cliff. Climb it and activate First Mt. Gelmir Campsite on the upper ledge.
4. Continue northwest past the siege tower and cross the narrow natural rock bridge. A Grafted Scion drops into the next camp; defeat it or move past it to climb the ladder against the cliff.
5. At the next landing, take the ladder on the left. The merchant is on the ledge along this climb. Stop at his campfire before continuing higher toward Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite.
6. Buy the cookbook for 3,000 runes. The merchant is on the ladder route, before the higher Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite and Fallingstar Beast.
7. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kale at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is unavailable. Keep the cookbook; it remains usable after learning its recipes.
8. Collect the listed ingredients and keep an empty Cracked Pot. Open Item Crafting outside combat, prepare Volcano Pot and assign it to a quick-item slot or pouch.

Notes

• Creates a cloud that deals repeated Fire damage for roughly three seconds. The total depends on how many hits connect, rather than one large explosion.
• Its Fire damage favors Strength, with weaker Dexterity scaling. Faith does not strengthen it simply because the cloud is hot.
• Use it against an enemy that is occupied, slow or moving through a narrow path. A target that leaves the cloud immediately misses most of the damage.
• Costs no FP and needs only two Volcanic Stones per craft. It is a repeatable Fire option without using a spell slot or spending an Old Fang.
• The Fire can consume oil or remove active Frostbite. A small early cloud hit may spend those effects before another larger Fire attack arrives.
• Companion Jar and suitable pot headgear improve its direct damage. Shard of Alexander does not treat it as a damaging weapon skill.
• One craft uses 2 Volcanic Stone and an empty Cracked Pot. Throwing returns the container, while another mixture needs fresh ingredients.
• Recipes using the same container type share the empty supply. Cracked Pots, Ritual Pots and Hefty Cracked Pots cannot replace one another.
