Discover the locations of Large Titanite Shards in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Find them early in the Forest of Fallen Giants, No-Man's Wharf, and more!
Alright, so you're looking to upgrade your favorite weapon to its max potential, and that means you'll need some Large Titanite Shards. These bad boys are crucial for getting those weapons into the +7 to +10 range. Don't worry, they're not *too* rare, and I'll show you exactly where to snag them, even pretty early on.
Here's the breakdown of where you can find these valuable upgrade materials:
| SECTION | LOCATION |
| Forest of Fallen Giants | You can find your very first Large Titanite Shard in a chest tucked away beneath the Cardinal Tower Bonfire. To get there, head down towards the room filled with ballistae – you know, the area just before you meet Pate. Look for a ladder; climb down it, and you'll see a door behind you. It looks like you can't open it from this side, but if you hit it, the hollows on the other side will actually open it for you. Take 'em out, and inside that room is your prize. This is the earliest shard you can grab in the game, so don't miss it! |
| No-Man's Wharf | In No-Man's Wharf, there's a hidden room on the first floor of the house that's packed with poison jars and that Estus Flask Shard. You'll need to break down a wall to get in. Inside, you'll find a chest, some loot on a corpse, and a lizard. The Large Titanite Shard is what that lizard drops, so be ready for a quick fight. |
| No-Man's Wharf | Keep an eye out in No-Man's Wharf because there's another one! This time, it's hidden behind an illusory wall in the house right next door to the one with the poison jars. Just keep an eye out for suspicious-looking walls you can roll through. |
| Lost Bastille | When you're at the Tower Apart Bonfire in the Lost Bastille, head left. Stick close to the wall, and you'll eventually come across a corpse. The Large Titanite Shard is lying right on it. Easy pickings! |
| Lost Bastille | There's another shard to find in the Lost Bastille, this time on a ledge just above where you find Lucatiel of Mirrah. Keep your eyes peeled as you explore that area. |
| Iron Keep | You'll find Large Titanite Shards scattered throughout the Iron Keep, but they're not in one specific spot. Just keep exploring thoroughly as you make your way through. |
| Black Gulch | Similar to the Iron Keep, the Black Gulch also has Large Titanite Shards available in various locations. Thorough exploration is key here. |
| Brightstone Cove Tseldora | Your last confirmed spot is in Brightstone Cove Tseldora. Right before you enter the spider caves that lead down to the cathedral area, check the edge of the cliff. You should find a Large Titanite Shard waiting for you there. |
Tips
- Don't forget to check behind illusory walls – they're a common hiding spot for goodies in Dark Souls II!
- Always be on the lookout for corpses and chests, especially in areas where you've already cleared out enemies.
- If you're really struggling to find enough, remember that some enemies might drop them, though it's not a guaranteed drop. Keep farming if you need to!
