HOW DO I FIGURE OUT WHAT I NEED TO UPGRADE MY WEAPON?

[@ItsShatter]

@@kintarricrawford345 it’s just increasing size of derallium fragments. I have another video on a derallium farm that might help.

[@Lloyd991P]

Hey man, you helped me with my playthrough of everything and now you are helping me with this one. Thanks man keep up the good work 🙏🏽

[@necrolicious]

Thanks for this vid, something you could possibly add. There is a door in that pit that leads to an outdoor area where you can find a necklace that increases your physical damage and physical defense. You need the Pilgrim's Perch Key to open the door.

[@RagnaRantz]

This needs a WHOLE lot more likes or views Str8 to the point & you already know players, especially SoulsBorne vets & rooks alike are wondering when & where this is Thank you for the vid & the work on uploading it m8! ✌️👍

[@mrgray5576]

So good to see you covering this game.

[@_lyndowil_3761]

Thanks for your guides, luv to see it. You have a pleasant voice and i still follow :D. At last in Elden Ring i followed your guide and now here. And the music, god i love it. Sometimes i just watch your guides without playing, because your stream`s relax myself. Thank you so much for all your work. Greetings for you from germany and a big hugger to Marshmallow 😁

[@GCRichter_]

Thanks, bro. You helped me a lot.

[@johnconnor5477]

It is shame of impotent developers, so we have to watch guides to reveal such base game mechanic like enhancing of gears. Thanks for your effort.

Thanks!

[@xXxT0XiiKxXx]

Why does it seem so tedious to get to such an important aspect of the game?

[@Catto217]

Because it’s that important so you must try harder to get it, they want us to explore slowly n don’t get rushed. I think that’s the concept cmiiw.

[@lucktanapah4146]

Thankyou so much

thank you!

[@randbomb]

Oh ok, ty. As if it was so long ago i could've got her. No wonder i felt like I was doing no f'in damage the whole game lol. I was starting to think there was no upgrades and that i was missing some mechanic. Like one boss fight took like 50 minutes. Thought I was playing monster hunter for a moment. Thx again.

[@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw]

How do you know what you need to upgrade a weapon say from +4 to +5? I can't see what materials I need or how many lol

[@marreromichael1726]

This game has some faults like the jump mechanic which has killed me more than the bosses This helps a lot 😂

[@RagnaRantz]

I cannot not WAIT to be “The Penitent One”! This game looks SO clean!

Great content know the games got kinks to workout but the potential and these vids are great. Keep it up! Insta sub

What a great guide did all of it just for her to just say did a old kindness and laughs she won’t upgrade my gear even at the sanctuary

[@kungflupenguin1067]

Same thing here. She also goes back and forth from the cell and the hub. So annoying

[@RandomGuy010]

I've gone through a significant portion of the game without ever finding this. Finally got fed up with doing no damage and googled.

[@jeffkernen8274]

Just subbed nice channel. And can you upgrade armor sets as well? Or is just weapons and catalysts?

[@rich925cal1]

Just weap and catyl

[@stonaraptor8196]

sooo annoying for future playthroughs... I feel they took all the annoying things from the souls genre and mega focused on that. So many BS jump and run sections

[@Big_Chico]

You’re telling me you don’t enjoy getting snipped midair by ranged enemies fire and having it cancel your jump then plummet into the abyss?

finally i can upgrade my weapon yayy

[@jlindo1332]

Where do you find the super big fragment? The one on the far right?

[@andrewsnape1705]

Thank you - I'm on third play through and I never remember the progress route / path to blacksmith. That's perfect. It doesn't help that the game has a ladder top in Axiom with the base in Umbral , you have to transition or it's a fatal fall.

[@ninoherga8270]

hey man where do you find large deralium for upgrade? i dont get it as much as i progress story

[@andrewsnape1705]

More start to drop from the Mines onwards, but there's very few before then. The two Holy Bulwark knights in the Fen can drop them - they're on the hidden umbral path not far from the vestige. @@ninoherga8270

[@Thor-cx4pk]

Yo what about boss weapons? I haven’t purchased any but is it the same upgrade material

[@bigriggaming4639]

❤❤tkx new sub enjoy the video

[@TheEdenSnake]

I don't know if anyone said this yet but you don't have to get all 3 in a single run. So you don't have to die in the same spot trying to lock on to one you already flayed. Only an idiot would do that.. but not me, nope. Lol.

[@ostertoaster1181]

I freed her and now shes in skyrest but that room doesnt look like a forge at all and shes just banging on a table and not offering any upgrading. Her only dialogue is her telling me im a credit to my species. Am i missing something. Please help

[@tacoma81]

When upgrading a weapon, it will say (Runes 1) as a bonus stat...what does that mean exactly?

[@joshvaneck3806]

I can’t soul flay through that area. It says I need more embryo. Not sure how to open that area once I kill those enemies

[@thisisntthewholesomefuture649]

I ran past this right to the boss.. Killed the boss and kept going to a drop, where another boss awaits. I didn't wanna wait anymore.. Wondering why i haven't found a blacksmith yet. I missed it...

[@kottaun1414]

The blacksmith is in the room but the rooms looks different to yours and I can’t upgrade anything? Do I have to get further through the story?

I didn't talk to her in made it all the way pass the 3rd boss then made it back to short cut by sanctuary.

what do runes mean underneath weight stat on the weapons

[@3tears3johnny]

Really annoying that I have to find the blacksmith wish he was already there the amount of times I wish my weapons could be upgraded to know discover why I couldn't is because you have to find him

[@NickC_222]

I dont understand why my experience in a game is NEVER what I see in videos. There are SO many more enemies on this route in my game.

[@jumartinez727]

I can't change armor or weapons 🤔. I'm on level 67 but it doesn't let me. Do i have to do this first ? Let me know please I subscribed and liked. Thanks

[@ItsShatter]

Make sure you are trying to change equipment from the equipment tab and not from your inventory.

[@Greg29]

My god that was complicated!

[@TerryHughes64]

Where do i find the bellroom

[@MisterPutUdown]

How can you tell what upgrade items you need? I don't see it. It just says insufficient materials. Thx

[@ItsShatter]

should be right inside the box/icon of the weapon you are trying to upgrade.

[@leaguetime2323]

in her cell is an item i WANT It i dont know how to get it please help

[@LaRvae01y]

Anyone knows what materials are needed to upgrade Pieta’s Sword more than +1? It keeps saying Insufficient Materials without showing me what is the missing material :(

[@ItsShatter]

Regular derailing is what you need. Check my video on a low level Deralium farm to see where you can get the required materials. Hope this helps!

[@realcandidtrader]

No I did exactly all this before i watched the video and I speak to her in skyrest and she doesnt allow me to upgrade anything at all

[@realcandidtrader]

She appears at both places at skyrest and down there at the bell room

[@ItsShatter]

try exiting the game and loading back in. I think that should fix it.

[@asbias]

@@ItsShatter big thank you, it resolved after exit a game and restart a console on PS5

[@Winterfang]

Question. How do I upgrade rememberance weapons? I can upgrade the regular ones but those always says I have no materials

[@ItsShatter]

you need higher ranked deralium (regular nuggets/large shards) I have another video out on where to farm these.

[@Winterfang]

@@ItsShatter I'll check it in out

[@UglyWinnie]

How to upgrade pietas's sword to +2 and beyond? I have vigor and stones...

[@ItsShatter]

you probably need higher quality/larger deralium. Check my "how to get overpowered fast" video to see a good farm spot.

[@joeyholubeck7066]

All I need to know is where are the materials used to upgrade stuff at

[@ItsShatter]

Enemies have a small chance to drop them and the harder the enemy the higher quality the material

[@cassidy18908]

What a pain in the ass just to upgrade weapons

[@pie_ky6272]

The black smith for me is stuck at the same dialogue and wont let me upgrade in skyrest
