Anvil Hammer Route Video Summary
Step-by-Step Guide
1
From the Ruined Forge Lava Intake site of grace, head down the stairs to your southeast and turn right at the bottom to reach the main area of the dungeon. From here, follow the path leading deeper into the dungeon.
2
On the way, 2 Lava Slimes will drop from the ceiling to ambush you. At the area with the 2nd Lava Slime, pass through the door it's guarding to reach another large area inside the Ruined Forge.
3
Upon entering the large area, immediately drop off the ledge to your right (southwest). Head straight up, platforming across the broken stone pillars until you reach the balcony on the opposite side of the room.
4
At the balcony, turn right (northwest), being careful not to get ambushed by the Lava Slime dropping from the ceiling. Once past the slime, drop down the ladder to reach a balcony overlooking the main lava intake.
5
Pull the nearby lever to lower the large lava intake pipe. Once it's lowered, jump on it and use it to reach the very top of the Ruined Forge.
6
Once you reach the top of the intake pipe, jump to your right (southeast) to reach the ledge leading to the end of the dungeon.
7
Interact with the altar to pick up the Anvil Hammer and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. You can use the teleporter next to the forge to return to the entrance of the dungeon.
