For a game called Dark Souls, souls are apparently pretty important to the world economy. You’re just going to lose those souls with all your constant dying, so you might as well stop by a blacksmith and spend those souls. Here, you’ll learn where to find all the blacksmiths in Dark Souls, where to find them, and what embers to give them. Improving your equipment is tantamount to victory in the dreary world of Dark Souls, so never ignore these handy and helpful workers. For help surviving your way to these blacksmiths, check out Game Front’s huge walkthrough. If you’re looking for more extra coverage for Dark Souls, check out the cheats page.
