Giant Blacksmith Location in Dark Souls

  • The Giant Blacksmith is located in Anor Londo.
  • From the second bonfire you encounter in the area, proceed up a few flight of stairs until you pass the room with the mounted boar head. Find the bedroom and continue through. You will find spiral stairs leading up to the roof. There you will head towards the Silver Knight located near the center of the roof. It will lead to another spiral staircase, where later you will continue to run up the flight of stairs to find the inside of the giant door that was being guarded by the two Giant Knights. Across from you, there will be another set of stairs. Once you make it across, you have two choices:
    • Continue forward toward the stained glass windows to find a broken one to exit. Jump down and avoid/fight the Bat Wing Demons and you'll find the Giant Blacksmith.
    • Alternatively, you can go towards the stairs leading down towards the floor level and there will be a path just to the left of the stairs which will lead you straight to the Blacksmith avoiding any confrontation with the demons. (These stairs should be located on the right wall once you make it across to the other set of stairs).
