Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon the Forge Daughter in the Deep Docks, huh? She's a pretty important NPC because she's got some really useful gear that can make your journey through Pharloom a lot smoother. Let's break down what she's selling and what you should prioritize.

Our Top Recommendations

Honestly, if you're going to grab anything, the Magma Bell is a must-have for the Deep Docks. Seriously, this area is full of those nasty hot coals on the platforms, and other enemies that use fire attacks. Having that defensive leeway from the Magma Bell will save you a ton of health and make navigating the Deep Docks way less frustrating. It recharges too, which is super handy!

Next up, we've got the Crafting Kit. This one's a no-brainer for pretty much everyone. It just passively boosts the damage of all your tools, which is crucial for taking down some of those tougher bosses later on. No matter what your build is, more damage is always good, right?

What About Craftmetal?

You might notice that some of these awesome items, like the Sting Shard and Magma Bell, require Craftmetal. Don't worry, it's not too hard to find! Here's where you can snag some:

  • You can buy it from Pebb, the vendor in Bone Bottom, for 60 Rosaries.
  • There's another piece hidden in The Marrow, way up in the top right corner. You'll need to find a secret area that requires hitting an exploding wall piece to get into.
  • The last spot is inside the Deep Docks itself, in the Simple Key room. You'll need a Simple Key to get in there, and you can only access it after you've unlocked the dash skill.

Other Noteworthy Items

The Sting Shard is also pretty cool. It's a throwable tool that sets up a spike trap. It's great for dealing with those annoying enemies that fly around or constantly move back and forth in the Deep Docks. It can also be useful against mobile enemies in other areas and even some bosses. If you manage to get the Pollip Pouch from the Rite of the Pollip, it makes the Sting Shard even better, adding poison damage!

Don't forget, the Forge Daughter is also the place to go if you find the Ruined Tool. She can repair it using Craftmetal and Rosaries, turning it into the powerful Silkshot tool – basically a triple-burst assault rifle. She's one of three NPCs who can do this, so keep that in mind!

So, to sum it up: prioritize the Magma Bell for the Deep Docks, grab the Crafting Kit for a damage boost, and keep an eye out for Craftmetal. Happy hunting!
