move to the back of the room where the second Golem Smith is standing guard. There, you will find an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone next to a metal pipe. After collecting the stone, jump back onto the pipe.
3. Exploring the Upper Balconies
Follow the pipe upwards until you see two balconies you can jump to: one to Elden Ring Items the left and one to the right. Start by jumping to the left balcony. Here, you will find a Smithing Stone [4] on a corpse. Two Golem Smiths guard this area; it's best to avoid engaging them directly. Instead, move to the back of the room where the second Golem Smith is standing guard. There, you will find an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone next to a metal pipe. After collecting the stone, jump back onto the pipe.
Next, head to the balcony on the right. The room to the right leads back to the pipe, while the tunnel in front of you takes you deeper into the Ruined Forge. Proceed through the tunnel to find a room with two more Golem Smiths and a Lava Slime. Carefully make your way up the broken pillar to the section where a Lava Pot-wielding Golem stands. Here, you'll find the Smithscript Shield on a corpse. Turn back and look for a balcony you can jump over to drop down to the floor below.
4. Reaching the Final Section
After dropping down, turn right and pick up the Smithing Stone [8] from the corpse next to the wall. Behind this corpse, you will find a small tunnel with a ladder inside. Climb the ladder to reach the final section. Once you climb the ladder, you'll be on a platform with a Golem Smith and a Lava Slime directly behind you. Collect the Somber Smithing Stone [3] from the corpse there.
Go up the stairs in front of the ladder and pull the lever at the far end of the room to best site to buy elden ring items the left. This action will trigger a mechanism that changes the direction of the large metal pipe.
