Titanite Slab | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

I thought I would see people talking about how to use their slabs in a efficient way but then I realized that most Souls fan cant stop yapping about dumb things for more than a second

Submit

Seems a lot of people here are console peasants unable to back up their saves with 15 slabs, and also appear to be without friends whom they can ask to mule over 15 of their maxed weapons after using those 15 slabs, so they can revert to their save backup where they had those 15 slabs. What a sad state of affairs.

Grab one totally free slab in Ariandel DLC after Crystal Sage, get maxed weapon early and then absolutely smoke Abyss Watchers. Most likely have to kill Dancer early to farm Lothric Castle, especially if we're talking about twinkling/titanite scale weapon, but that's no issue for experienced players, have done that a couple times already. And people are clowning on the fact you can get +10 somber weapon early in ER, lol.

I think this needs to be said, if the weapon you're testing has crappy damage or moveset at +9, then using a slab on it won't make it suddenly good. 15 slabs per cycle is enough.

So many slabs, fear my +10 torch of the gods slightly dark area

I still think they made it the best way in DS1 - 1-2 guaranteed slabs of each kind for a playthrough, but you can farm more infinitely. Simply because it's better for all playstyles - for someone using 1-2 primary weapons throughout the whole game it is more than enough, and for fanatics it is possible to have their whole line of weapons upgraded. Although I like how they made even boss and twinkling weapons require a slab, since in DS1 it felt kinda unfair

Submit

He who whines for lack of slab has no economical knowledge, 15 FU**ING SLABS for 5 builds! That is 3 for each combat-related stat. Which means you can have a maxed casting weapon and two more weapons for each stat.

It is missing a titanite slab in the Lothric Twinprinces elevator, the one that goes down.

Ppl who say there isn't enough Slabs in one NG have no resource management skills whatsoever

Doesnt really give you a lot of room for experimentation with such a low amount of Slabs available and no way of farming cause it doesnt drop. RIP.

A location for one that isn't mentioned is in Smouldering Lake. You get a titanite slab from killing the big worm there

Submit

Just in case anyone is unsure (I was), you can get the slab off Shira before the Gael fight even if you don't kill Midir. In my first playthrough I killed Midir but beat Halflight before I could talk to her to get the slab and thought maybe it only dropped from her here as a failsafe, and if you didn't beat Midir maybe you wouldn't get it, but you do. Just wanted to grab a couple extra slabs before going into my second NG+ and wasn't gonna deal with Midir again so I thought maybe she won't drop it and wanted to confirm. I also never actually took her request to kill Midir, I only talked to her through the doors when I first passed through the area, not sure if she will drop it if you never talk to her at all though.

Submit

15 slabs is enough you say? sorry but no. There are more interesting choices of weapons besides 12 variations of the same spammy straight sword. some catalysts, shields, bows and crossbows could use a slab.

Yes, i can go through ng+ as much as the next guy. But the only enemirmes in the entire playthrough that would put a smile in my face would be the likes of the dragonslayer armor. Everything else is a damn chore.

Submit

I did the Siegward glitch to have a lot of titanite, but I realized that I don't need more than 5 slabs, there really isn't much variety of "useful" weapons, if you want another weapon you just make another character with another build

Submit

1rst: if you really think 15 slabs is enough, then your sense of "build variety" is limited to straight sword r1 spam.

2nd: it is no incentive to replay the weakest ng+ iteration of all the souls games. Farming the darkwraiths/moonlight butterflies/lesser pinwheels/octopus demons in ds1 was way less of a chore than running through the nostalgia simulator again and again.

Submit

Shocked there are so many people complaining about limited slabs. I just gave the game a replay and was going to say they were way too plentiful on here. To those complainers I'd say there's a lot to be said for a game making you somewhat responsible for your decisions and making you work with limited resources, even though there are so ****ing many that what I just said doesn't even really apply to DS3. If there were the 8 of the base game, but spread out between vanilla and the DLCs (say, 4, 2, and 2), I'd say that's a much more reasonable amount, though I'd personally make it 5 total.

Such a paradox. So many slabs, such little build variety.

Best solution would be an ingame rewarding system that costs time but is still doable.
Whilst 15 slabs is plenty, sometimes it is not enough, maybe.
Having to re-do the story several times on several characters might get boring for many, for others it might be a breeze.
The best solution in my opinion would be a trade of items like the pump-a-rum crow which will be hard if not even impossible to abuse.
Make it by aquiring key items that only drop from npcs from an area you cant summon other players in.
No matter how easy enemies are on the firelink shrine, if you need to kill 1000 of those to get a slab you still need quite a lot of time to get even one.
Exchange these easy mobs with something that is a bit harder to kill.

Another way could be an arena fight vs 5 summoned npcs at random. Imagine having to fight Tsorig, Hodrick and those 3 from the grand archives in a circular area to get a slab.

Well. we won't see it, it's just an idea anyways.
Good luck picking your weapons and don't be the boring guy with a +10 claymore and the other mainstream stuff.

PEOPLE, Siegward dupe if you don't want to start NG+. If not, download honest merchant. Seriously, it's been said before, read. And now I'm just like you because I'm complaining about you complaining and people did that already so now I'm just sad. You did this to me.

this comment section tho, its cursed

Submit

Have a bunch of 4/5 and 9/10 weapons and it never bothered me. I know that slab wont make me better at the game.

Submit

Is there a good reason to not give them a 1% or lower drop rate on some lategame enemies, or make them buyable for something crazy like a million souls a pop or whatever?

Why limit how many you can get completely? Would the game be any worse off if some people were able to get more than 8 per playthrough through tedious grinding? Who ever made this game i can make better just with 15 people.

Submit

You people are so stupid having limited slabs its is okay to complain what a joke

Kill seigwards fat arse in jail, and do the area reload glitch for infinite slabs.

Submit

I think the best solution would be if you got a slab for every fight with Spear of the Church. Just think about it: this is basically end of the game and finding way to repeat this boss fight without a guide is hard enough. Plus playing online this might be even more difficult (but sometimes easier). And it wouldn't be a f****** random drop.

Submit

Imagine if dragonchaser ashes let you buy slabs for a million souls each

Submit

gotta love the souls community, the entire comment section has to do about the whole limited slab thing. this is why i don't come here often.

Submit

For anyone complaining these aren’t farmable, they are. Not by killing the same enemy, no, but by running the game quick. 90-120 minutes for fewest bosses gets you 2-3 slabs in the grand archives, around 4 hours for all bosses necessary for all 15 slabs. That’s quick enough farming for me.

Submit

Why can't we have best of both worlds? Like, 15 confirmed slabs is cool and everything, but why not keeping a way to farm them? I don't really feel like doing a NG+ for another 15, but I'd enjoy being able to upgrade every weapon of a class I've got. Like... If I wanted to use a spear, be able to use every spear efficiently.

You won't need more than 15, not even more than 6 if you just wanna play the game. But if you're going for fashion, and you feel like changing every once in a while your character look, it would help to keep it efficient.

Submit

Praise be to Bloodborne, for having blood rocks sold at the insight bath

Are these able to be traded?

Submit

Would be nice if we could farm titanite slabs.

Submit

Don't be scared of ng+, it's fun

Submit

why are people complaining so much? 15 slabs is 15 fully upgraded weapons I've finished the game and still have slabs left over. Find a weapon you like get it to +9 and if you like it throw a slab in. I only have 5/6 fully upgraded weapons so 15 is plenty in my opinion

Submit

DS2 is the best of both worlds when it comes to slabs, you get plenty of guaranteed ones (the number being around 12 or so). But you can also farm them and also you have a much higher chance of getting them while farming (It's still not a high chance but it isn't like the terrible 2% chance of darkwraiths)

Submit

You have 15 slabs in one ng cycle, I don't get why people complain about not being able to farm these.
You have enough slabs to change your build all 5 times through Rosaria and you would still be able to have 3 +10 weapons per build. And in DS3 it's almost impossible to miss a slab, while in DS1 it's very easy to not find one the entire game.

Submit

I AINT STARTING NG+!

Submit

Nice to see people are still defending the limited number of Slabs per playthrough. Hopefully Miyazaki has come up with actual incentives to make you want to do repeat playthroughs with Eldin Ring. If you can get as many Slabs as you want and respect your stats as much as you want, normal people will praise that as an objective improvement over DS3. Not you people though, unless somehow the narrative conveniently shifts lmao.

Submit

Y'all excited for Elden Ring? Or more accurately, are y'all excited to point out how much of disappointment it is compared to DS1?

Submit

I think slabs should work differently on the game. First, weapons upgraded with Twinkling and Scales shouldn't need slabs to get to +5. Second, there should be fewer slabs in the game. 5 seems like a good number. And third, they should be farmable, maybe as a rare drop from more difficult enemies like the golden Winged Knights, the big snakes dudes at Archdragon Peak, or the big giant dudes that summon the ruin sentinels in the Ringed City. With those changes trying new builds on the same character via Rosaria becomes much less restrictive, since now you doesen't have a limited number of slabs until you'll need to create a character and play the game all over again, but it isn't ultra easy, since finding slabs is rarer. This is just my opinion though

Submit

Why so many slabs? I mean, pkcs only needs 1 so...

Submit

I get that you can’t farm slabs in ds3 like you did in ds1, but you’re not gonna need 15 slabs to complete a build anyways. No one wants to farm darkwraiths for 12 hours anyway

Submit

I just learned about the slab dupe glitch with siegward. Crazy stuff

Submit

The fact that people think that farming in DS1 is better is so upsetting and sad, you can literally get 10 of these things before you fight the abyss watchers, you wouldn't do it that way, but it's possible, and it goes to show how many of these are, I feel people just act like DS1 has a better upgrade system just because it's easier

how the absolute **** do you people use so many weapons per playthrough? for pvp i might be able to understand, but still makes absolutely no sense
every NG+ = 15 more max refinement weapons
not only that, but life ring and sage ring both require you to go to NG++ to get their +3 version, so youre probably going to need to do NG+ anyways.

Submit

there's no second elevator for me in grand archives?

DS1 upgrading system as a whole beats DS3 because you can max out weapons that require twinkling and demon titanite without needing slabs while DS3s 15 slabs beat DS1s 3 guaranteed slabs because nobody is going to farm 10-12 extra slabs from darkwraiths and we all know that. If you’re an elemental build this is even more true because the coloured slabs in DS1 are even rarer than the regulars. DS3 would need to give you the option to max weapons with twinkling titanite and titanite scales without slabs to be on par with DS1 but it doesn’t and those 15 slabs are 15 weapons you’re locked with regardless of what type of titanite each need. I didn’t fully think about these specifics previously. Things only go further downhill for DS3 when you remember that catalysts need to be upgraded too. So yeah if I was making a build with only weapons that needed slabs I would take the 15 in DS3 any day but if want to take advantage of weapons that require special titanite as well as regular titanite then DS1 is the clear winner.

Submit

I get why the amount of slabs you get per play through is finite, but they should have made it possible to get addition slabs. They could have maintained the special-ness of slabs by making getting the extra slabs more difficult than these 15. One idea is getting a slab for every 100 covenant rewards you give to a given covenant. This would make covenant items always valuable (as now they are useless after you give 30 to their respective covenant) and it would have allowed people who PVP a lot to have access to more slabs. These being the players that need slabs the most.

Submit

The amount of people in the comments defending the limited slabs per playthrough is amazing lol. Bunch of masochistic fanboys.

Submit

"oh yes, let's limit the amount of build and creativity choices bc we want players to really feel like it's DS1 all over again"

at least we could farm in ds1

Submit

Making it so that theres only a limited number of slabs per playthrough with no way to farm them is ridiculous. This game has things that just obnoxiously push you into another new game cycle by putting arbitrary limits on them. Makes even less sense when you think about how Bloodborne eventually gave you a way to get Blood Rocks without playing through the whole game again. At least you can exploit Rosaria's pale tongue cost as much as you want.

“ Beating Halflight, Spear of the Church earns you a slab.

You can also get it from (Shira) by killing her after the final boss in the chapel to the right of Filianore's Rest's bonfire.”

Neither of these worked for me but do you get the slab from the filianore spear you fight? If you haven’t yet killed Midir and you kill Shinra you will not receive the slab, and the door to her room will be open with her gear

Submit

DS3 handled these best. Remove the farming BS and give more guaranteed ones. I always hated the rarity of slabs in DS1 because it only makes the difference in ONE upgrade which doesn’t even increase the damage a larger amount than the previous 9 upgrades from common materials. The increase they gave as the final reinforcement NEVER justified how precious the game made them. It was more of a personal novelty of having your favourite weapon maxed out imo. Thank you Dark Souls 3! Oh actually I just recalled that DS2 made them common as well thank you Dark Souls 2 too!

In the Cinders mod, you get one from the Catacomb Crab lmao

I think there is an easier way to get the first slab in Ariendel. Instead of going from the depths of the paining bonfire, use the bonfire across the bridge from friede and jump down to the platform next to the bridge. I'm not sure if you have to kill the tree lady for it to appear though.

Submit

15 guaranteed slabs in DS3, while DS1 has 4 - one of them which you might never get if you happen to **** up a certain questline. And no, farming Darkwraiths in New Londo for Slabs is a joke - even with 410 Item Discovery you get a Slab once in a blue moon. Heavens forbid you're a quality STR/DEX build - those White, Red and Blue Slabs will be worthless, only good to be broken down by Frampt. So let's appreciate the Titanite Slabs of DS3, yes?

Ds3 and bloodborne have the same method to load their maps (and the same glitches), so killing siegward just before yhorm s bossfight and changing zone again and again (run to yorshka s church, get out and get in the building as many times as you see fit) will make his slab and equipment to duplicate. IMPORTANT: don t use any bonfire until you picked up the loot. You ll mess up everything!

Sad there's no reliable way to farm these. With the Rosaria glitch, you really can just make and switch builds on the fly, but you're limited on how many of your weapons and catalysts you can get to maximum upgrade.

OK so for those who don't know I HEAVILY recommend that after you kill the tree woman in painted world of Ariandel ALSO kill the other tree woman Near the stairs that appear, she will throw fire at you and will kill you as you climb.

I think I may have just found a new slab, or not; in any case, I didn't see it listed above. It's under the elevator just outside the Twin Princes' room. Take it down one level, then send it back up, but stay where you are. Another elevator will come up from the bottom - take that down, and at the bottom you'll find a little alcove with a corpse and a lever; the slab is on that corpse.

There seems to be a glitch going on where you can duplicate the Slab the onion NPC gives you (YouTube it). Anyways... anyone know if picking up 30 slabs in one new game cycle will get you softbanned? I mean it's technically a glitch I'm not using cheat engine... Just don't know if Fromsoft has a system that automatically flags something impossible like obtaining 30 slabs in one new game cycle
