I feel like the fact that you get the lightning simple and chaos infusions from this coal is indicative of the fact that the giant blacksmith might've been the last to hold onto the memories of gwyn seath and the witch of izalith, the lords of his own age

for everyone upset that GB is dead, time is convoluted, so if we ever get another dark souls/DLC he could very well be in it, alive and well, heck that's why Andre is alive in the first place.

The way Andre's voice cracks a little when he talks about the big boy... *****, I'm not crying. You're crying!

Judging by the open door and the room covered in black sludge, I'd say Aldrich came through there, killed him then proceeded to the main chamber.

You were there when we needed you, you gave us the best armor set in the game, you sold what we needed... you will stay in our hearts, our TRUE Giant Dad.

Even though I knew it was coming, I still cried when I saw the Giant Blacksmith dead. He was a sweet little angel, who just wanted to forge weapons and make friends. He was so sweet and adorable in the way he talked was and one of the only NPCs I talked to in every run, despite usually not having a need to talk to him in most. He deserved the same burial a God would get, not being left to rot, still clutching his precious coal and hammer right 'til the very end. I miss him, so, so much... Aldrich is going to suffer for what he did.

It's possible this is a reference to Giantdad, as it's the Giant's coal, and unlocks the chaos infusion.
is somebody able to imbue a weapon for me with lightning gem ? im trying to access it early in game.
is this item tradeable ? does anybody have one that he is not using.

You can see Aldrich's slime trail from the corpse leading up the stairs. Was another of his victims.

when i came to anor londo the giant blacksmith was dead why?

Perhaps one of the least useful video locations. If your intent is to show an item's location you need a point of reference. Particularly one that someone who had not already been to that location would recognize. Reasonably, this would be the bonfire.

If u haven't seen dark souls 1 story then don't read this. Andre's dialogue says that he knew the giant In Anor Londo, but how in the hell would he know of the giant he is not a god or apart of the gods so how is does he know. The only explanation is Andre is confirmed as the first born of Gwynn makes since due to them sharing the love of smithing and weapons which is Andres, Giants, and first born favorite thing

When you give this to andre, prepare to cry, because he misses the big lug too.

The Giant's Coal... used by the Giant Blacksmith of Anor Londo, the guy who sold you the "Giant Set", allows you now to forge... Chaos Weapons ?! ... ... ...Could it be some kind of reference to the legendary build of GiantDad ?
I just hope he died doing what he wanted, no matter what.
"I no talk. But happy."
