Apr 16

Written By Flame

This guide will show you the location of all Embers in Dark Souls Remastered.

There are 10 embers in total.

Embers are upgrade materials that allow the blacksmiths of Lordran to ascend your weapons beyond their base upgrade limits or into entirely new damage paths. There are 10 embers in total, scattered across the world. Each ember belongs to a specific blacksmith, and only that blacksmith can make use of it.

Creator

Andre of Astora

Andre is found inside the building just below the Undead Parish church, next to the elevator shortcut. He handles the standard, divine, and occult upgrade paths and receives five embers in total.

Large Ember

Large Ember is found in the Depths, in a chest inside the main kitchen area. After entering the Depths from the Lower Undead Burg and making your way through the early sections, you will reach a large open room resembling a dining hall where a Butcher enemy patrols. The chest is located in the same room. Giving this ember to Andre allows him to upgrade Normal weapons from +5 up to +10, and to ascend a Normal +5 weapon into the Raw path.

Very Large Ember

Very Large Ember is found in the New Londo Ruins, in a chest deep within the flooded section. You must first drain the water by pulling the lever near the Valley of Drakes entrance, which reveals the lower portions of the ruins. Once the water is gone, proceed past the Dark Wraith enemies and up the stairs. Turn left into the ruins after the short bridge, pull the lever there, and take the elevator down. Follow the path left, then left again to a spiral staircase. Take the first door you find, then your first right, and follow the winding path up to a chest containing the ember. Giving this to Andre allows him to upgrade Normal weapons from +10 up to +15.

Divine Ember

Divine Ember is found in Darkroot Garden, at the top of a tower on the far side of the Moonlight Butterfly arena. After defeating the Moonlight Butterfly, instead of turning back, cross the bridge ahead and enter the tower. Climb the stairs to the very top to find a petrified blacksmith holding the Divine Ember alongside a Watchtower Basement Key. You can return to collect this at any point in the game, even without defeating the butterfly. Giving this ember to Andre allows him to ascend a Normal +5 weapon into the Divine path.

Large Divine Ember

Large Divine Ember is found in the Tomb of the Giants, held by another petrified blacksmith deep in the area. From the first bonfire, go straight and climb the ladder ahead. To avoid the Giant Skeleton enemies, take the narrow path immediately to the right at the top of the ladder and follow it past a small cave. After the cave you will reach a stone bridge with a square hole in the floor. Drop into the room below, deal with the Giant Skeletons inside, and find the petrified blacksmith at the back of the chamber holding the ember. Giving this to Andre allows him to upgrade Divine weapons from +5 up to +10.

Dark Ember

Dark Ember is found in the Painted World of Ariamis, inside the Annex area. To access the Painted World you need the Peculiar Doll, found by returning to your old cell in the Undead Asylum. Once inside the Painted World, you also need the Annex Key, which is found at the end of a hidden path in the underground sewers: look for an illusory wall at a dead end in those tunnels to reveal the key. With the Annex Key, open the wooden door at the top of the main courtyard steps. Climb the flights of stairs and exit onto the castle walls. Follow the path past three Bloathead enemies and you will find the ember on a corpse in the clearing ahead. Giving this to Andre allows him to ascend a Divine +5 weapon into the Occult path.

Rickert of Vinheim

Rickert is found in a cell in the upper section of the New Londo Ruins, just past the first fog gate after descending from Firelink Shrine. He handles the magic and enchanted upgrade paths and receives two embers.

Large Magic Ember

Large Magic Ember is found in the Duke's Archives, in the large arena room at the very top of the library where Seath the Scaleless first encounters you automatically and you are placed in the prison cell. You can only reach this room after defeating Seath in the Crystal Cave. Once Seath is dead, return to that upper arena via the elevator on the second floor of the library and climb the crystal-covered stairs. A large chest sits in the center of the arena containing the ember. Giving this to Rickert allows him to upgrade Magic weapons from +5 up to +10.

Enchanted Ember

Enchanted Ember is found in Darkroot Garden, in a chest submerged in a shallow pond in the mushroom creature area. To reach it, you need the Crest of Artorias key to open the large stone door in Darkroot Garden, which costs 20,000 souls from Andre. Through the door, follow the path into the woods and continue straight until you see an archway ahead. Take the stairs down into the wooded area and head to the far right, where you will find two Stone Giant enemies guarding a chest in the water. Defeat them and open the chest to collect the ember. Giving this to Rickert allows him to ascend a Magic +5 weapon into the Enchanted path.

Giant Blacksmith

The Giant Blacksmith is found inside the main building in Anor Londo, on the ground floor to the right after entering. He handles the crystal and lightning upgrade paths and receives one ember.

GUIDESDATABASE.COM

Crystal Ember

Crystal Ember is also found in the Duke's Archives, but in a different section from the Large Magic Ember. Starting from the Archives bonfire, go immediately right after entering the main library hall and follow the shelves to a doorway leading into a bright side room. Continue through another doorway on the right into a more cluttered library section. Hug the right-hand shelves and look for a large gap between two displaced shelves. Slip inside to find a chest with the Crystal Ember. Giving this to the Giant Blacksmith allows him to ascend a Normal +10 weapon into the Crystal path.

Vamos

Vamos is found deep in the Catacombs, in a cave at the bottom of the area just before the Tomb of the Giants. He handles the fire and chaos upgrade paths and receives two embers.

GUIDESDATABASE.COM

Large Flame Ember

Large Flame Ember is found in the Demon Ruins, along the path that runs between the Ceaseless Discharge arena and the Demon Firesage fog gate. From the bonfire after Ceaseless Discharge, head forward and take the first right through the columned corridor and down the stairs. A Taurus Demon will appear at the base of the stairs. Past it, take the path to the left where two more Taurus Demons guard the way. Follow the path all the way to the end to find a chest containing the ember. Giving this to Vamos allows him to upgrade Fire weapons from +5 up to +10.

GUIDESDATABASE.COM

Chaos Flame Ember

Chaos Flame Ember is found in the Demon Ruins as well, in a chest inside the lava bed that opens up after defeating Ceaseless Discharge. From the bonfire, head straight and follow the curving downward path into the lava fields. The chest sits in the middle of a pool of lava surrounded by Taurus Demon enemies. Clear the Taurus Demons using ranged attacks before attempting to retrieve the ember. To survive crossing the lava, equip the Orange Charred Ring (found in Lost Izalith), use the Flash Sweat pyromancy, or combine the Flame Stoneplate Ring with fire-resistant armor to reduce damage enough to grab it and roll back out. Giving this to Vamos allows him to ascend a Fire +5 weapon into the Chaos path.
