Titanite Scale


Titanite altered by a soul.

Notes

Titanite Scales are also used to reinforce the following non-soul transposed weapons/shields:

Trivia

  • It looks very similar to Demon Titanite from Dark Souls, and also serves the same purpose.
  • In DS2, the function of Demon Titanite was taken over by Petrified Dragon Bone, explaining this demon dragon scale.
  • It costs 300,000 Souls to purchase 15 titanite scales, which is the required amount to upgrade to + 4.

        Boss Weapons are a noob trap, its purely because of titanite scale. In a standard playthrough, no early dancer. You can hit a +2 easy enough, but then get stuck at this level through most of the game. By the time you reach smouldering lake you can have a +7 of any normal weapon which is automatically superior. Its a balance issue. For example why use a Vordt's Great Hammer +2, when you could use a Great Club +7... through most of the game, Its not even close.

        tldr - scale = bad = Boss weapons = bad

          slaughtered the tiny rock lizards in dragon peak because i collected pretty much all the limited items around the map. safe to say it's a pretty good way to upgrade a weapon. they can drop twinkling titanite too!

            looted the chests in the area with the outrider k***ht and i only got twinkling titanite, is there a illusionary wall somewhere?

              I made a short video showcasing what I believe to be the most effective (and safe) method for farming these. Involves a Dragonslayer Greataxe, +5 idealy but lesser still does the trick. Warp to Great Belfry bonfire, and rush to the stairs with the 4 Rock Lizards. Just as you exit into the open aggro all 4 rock lizards by standing at the edge of the right level/floor thing. Pull back so they stack against the short wall. Walk again and use WA from above. You can safely and efficiently cheese all 4 of them if you stack them right. So walk, aggro, stack, WA, pull back from fire, walk again, WA until they die. You can do you it in 3-5 strikes depending on the level of reinforcement. I'd put this info on the wiki along with the actual video butI don't know how to edit the wiki.

                There is a titanite scale drop on the way from pontiff to anor londo above the Aldritch Faithful covenant room overlooking the giants

                  should probably remove the "3x" in irithyll dungeon considering it's a rare drop and not a guaranteed find.

                    i figured out if the wretches drop the titanite scale. and they dont. i downloaded a trainer thing called Infinity or as its called now Wemod and it has a trainer for a***** ton of games and it has one for Dark Souls III and it had a item discovery hack in there. so i tried it and i killed about 20 of those baby faced demons (wretches) and none of em dropped a titanite scale.

                      In case nobody has pointed it out, the Earth Seeker should be added to the list of non-boss weapons upgraded with titanite scales. Not sure how to edit and too lazy to find out haha

                        From a recent playthrough, I have consistently been getting scales from the Overgrown Lothric Knight in Dreg Heap. From the first to the second bonefire, I have been able to get at least 4 scales per run by killing all the Overgrown Lothric Knights I run into.
                        Scales drop from any ‘common enemies’ from earlier stages in Dreg Heap I believe, since I have also been consistantly getting scales from Thralls as well.

                          There are 4 titanite scales In the area where midir first appears, the first 2 are on a corse at the end of a tunnel, the same one an undead cleric is hiding in, the other 2 are on a corpse below the path just before the mini catacombs area entrance. There is also a cystal lizard not far from the shared grave bonfire that drops a scale and a twinkling.

                            Titanite scale right after demon prince boss fight in ringed city, behind you after you are carried by the demons

                              Could someone please fix the error "...with the single exception of the Cleric's Candlestick well as some other weapons..." It's a contradiction. I won't because I am just too lazy to go and start. Thanks n' much love.

                                Today I found out, that they are acutally very easy to farm. I wonder if they nerf it on the long run https://youtu.be/H21_Y7YtGwE

                                    I don't know if its just on my end, but after killing Greirat at the beginning and giving her the ashes, the option to buy the scales 3 times didn't show up

                                      I've killed the ones at the Road of Sacrifices, Cathedral of the Deep, and Farron Keep Perimeter. So far, only one has ever dropped. It was from the one at the beginning of the Road of Sacrifices. Since then, zero have dropped for me at all.

                                        Upon gaining the "Dragon Chaser's Ashes", you can buy these from the Shrine Handmaiden. They also drop from some rock-lizard things late game.

                                          dont get me wrong, having a limited supply of these things just lying around is good, but something dropping them would be nice so that if i wanted to use a new weapon i wouldnt be stuck going thru ng+4 just to gather the materials.

                                          • Ehh? Assuming that's the max limit like it's always been. Or are Titanite Slabs used for both regular AND boss weapons this time? What a twist that would be indeed.
