Iron Keep

Reached after beating boss in Earthen Peak.

Description
Lava filled area with a bonfire down the stairs on the left. Near here is hardened lava you can walk on that has a human effigy. Down from the bridge are hopping stones towards more loot, this is a bonfire ascetic.

Across the bridge and inside the door are a few baddies, taking a right will take you to a merchant selling the talking stones!!!! Also a fragrant branch of yore, a curse resist ring, and some sorceries and hexes.

Up the stairs near the merchant there is an illusory wall that will lead to a room with a ballista and another illusory wall. Take down the second illusory wall to fire the ballista into an unsuspecting samurai looking badguy. There are two other guys in this room.

Take a right will lead to a large open area with a furnace in the middle. Head down the left to pull a level to drop the bridge. On the side of the furnace is a valve to turn off the furnace allowing the player to pass through. On the opposite side of the bridge is a fogwall, behind this fogwall is the Demon Smelter. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!! Before heading past, there is an important item to grab. Head away from the fogwall and jump the small ledge and head towards the chest. It contains the Zweihander. There is also a gap between this ledge and some stairs, jump over the lava to this platform/stair. You may want to plunge attack as I (Praisethebeard) nearly rolled right off the stairs. The loot contained here is THE DULL EMBER. Take this to McDuff to infuse weapons with lightning/poison/magic/etc. BOOM!

The Smelter boss is ultmately optional it appears, but it does give the player access to a bonfire, a boss soul that can be traded for a sweet sword, and another "boss" fight that will yield the player a ring of blades +1. To get the ring of blades defeat the Smelter, hit up the bonfire then head back into the arena where a new less shiny and tougher Pursuer will appear. Defeat him for the Ring of Blades +1
