Taylew's Ruined Forge: Complete Walkthrough
1. Starting from the Site of Grace
From the Site of Grace, proceed down the tunnel to Elden Ring Items reach a balcony overlooking a lava-filled lake. On the railing, you’ll find a corpse holding a Shadow Realm Rune [3]. Collect this rune, then head down the stairs to your left. Be prepared for a Lava Slime that drops from the ceiling. Use the nearby ladder to descend to the lower level.
2. Exploring the Lava Room
Upon reaching the lower level, you’ll enter a room dominated by lava. A large metal pipe runs through the area and serves as a walkway. Carefully jump onto the pipe and traverse it to reach a crumbling stone balcony on the other side. Here, you’ll find the Smithscript Greathammer guarded by a Lava Slime. After collecting the Greathammer, return to the metal pipe.
3. Navigating the Upper Balconies
Continue along the pipe, ascending until you encounter two balconies: one on the left and one on the right.
Left Balcony: Start with the left balcony, where you’ll find a corpse holding a Smithing Stone [4]. Be cautious of two Golem Smiths patrolling the area. You can bypass them by heading to the back of the room where the second Golem Smith stands. Retrieve the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone from a nearby corpse and then return to the pipe.
Right Balcony: Proceed to the right balcony. This room contains two more Golem Smiths and a Lava Slime. Climb the broken pillar to buy Elden Ring Items reach an area where a Lava Pot-wielding Golem stands. Here, you’ll find the Smithscript Shield on a corpse. After collecting the shield, look for a balcony you can jump to, which will lead you down to the floor below.
