Ruined Forge of Starfall Past Walkthrough
| 1 |  To reach the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past in Scadu Atlus, start from the Castle Front Site of Grace and then go through Castle Ensis to defeat Rellana. Alternatively, you can also use the Rellana Skip (via Fort of Reprimand) if you want to reach Scadu Altus without having to fight Rellana. |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Starting at the Ruined Forge of Starfall Past Site of Grace, cross the bridge to the southeast and pull the lever to open the gate. |

| 3 |  Continue moving forward and go up the rubble past some enemies until you reach an elevated black platform. |
| 4 |  From the black platform, drop down onto the bridge and pull another lever to unlock a gate. |

Proceed through the gate and follow the corridor until you reach a circular room with a waterfall and some sleeping enemies. You'll find the Smithscript Cirque on a corpse, but be wary of the enemies waking up as soon as you pick it up. |

| Smithscript Cirque Ashes of War | |
|---|---|
 Ash of War: Swift Slash
|
 Ash of War: Blind Spot
|
The best Ashes of War to use for the Smithscript Cirque are the Swift Slash and Blind Spot Ashes of War.
Swift Slash is a great Ash of War for closing on enemies and dealing physical AoE damage along the path of the skill's dash. Alternatively, Blind Spot is great to have if you are fighting strong single targets (such as bosses) due to its high damage and side dash with I-frames.
