Should I give large ember to blacksmith?
To answer the question directly, yes, you should give the Large Ember to a blacksmith, specifically Andre, as it allows him to modify +5 normal weapons to +10 and +5 raw, which is a crucial step in weapon ascension. Giving the Large Ember to Andre is a permanent, unlimited unlock, meaning you don’t need multiple Embers to level up different weapons, and it’s a key part of the standard upgrade path in the game.
Understanding the Role of Embers in Weapon Ascension
Introduction to Embers
Embers play a vital role in the Dark Souls universe, particularly when it comes to weapon ascension. These items are crucial for upgrading weapons beyond certain levels, and each type of ember has a specific use. The Large Ember, for instance, is used to upgrade +5 normal weapons to +10 and +5 raw.
The Importance of Andre
Andre is a key blacksmith in the game who can perform this upgrade. He is located in the Undead Parish and will ask for the Large Ember if you have it. Giving it to him unlocks the ability to upgrade +5 weapons to +6 and beyond, up to +10 and +5 raw, using the Modify Equipment option at his workstation.
