Crystal Upgrades | Dark Souls

Crystal Upgrades are a type of Upgrade in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered. They enable players to "Ascend" weapons and shields in a specific path.

Crystal Upgrade path and Requirements in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered

Crystal Upgrades for weapon and shield are performed by the Giant Blacksmith at Anor Londo.

Crystal weapon upgrades often deal more damage than their alternatives, however crystal weapons only be repaired by upgrading them further. Crystal weapons actually break, when their durability becomes 0.

The Repair spell cannot be used to repair crystal weapons and they cannot be reverted back to Regular +10 weapons at a blacksmith unlike other upgrade paths.

Note that each upgrade level requires a number of soul that varies depending on the weapon.

• From Regular +10 to Crystal +0 requires Crystal Ember and Titanite Chunk
• Crystal upgrade from +0 to +4 requires 7 Titanite Chunks to ascend.
• Regular upgrade from +4 to +5 requires a Titanite Slab.
