Here’s how to complete this early dungeon and get the powerful Anvil Hammer.
TheRuined Forge Lava Intakeis an optional dungeon inElden Ring’sShadow of the ErdtreeDLC.
For now, continue round the corner into the main chamber, and go down the ladder.
A glowing slab on the floor reads: ‘Hit them where they’re weakest’.
Leave this room and watch out for the fire slime lurking on the ceiling.
Continue down the narrow passageway, and another fire slime will fall from the ceiling.
That’s it for this part of the chamber for now.
Continue your way up the rocky stairway until you reach another straight platform.
Now, head right and go down the ladder.
Drop down to the platform directly below you.
Again, you don’t have to fight the golem if you don’t want to.
Simply grab the dagger and then jump down onto the drill that’s just been lowered into the room.
Now, run up the drill back up towards the entrance.
Jump off into the room, and interact with the altar.
You’ll be rewarded with anAnvil Hammerand1x Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.
