Titanite upgrade materials
Collect the Titanite Slab in Dragon’s Sanctum
A fixed slab pickup in the DLC can finish one standard equipment upgrade without relying on a rare enemy drop.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect the Titanite Slab in Dragon’s Sanctum
Dragon’s Sanctum in Shulva, in the room with the first pair of Sanctum Knights.
Before you go
- Own access to the Crown of the Sunken King DLC area and reach Dragon’s Sanctum.
- Bring equipment suitable for handling or avoiding Sanctum Knights.
- Have a standard equipment item at +9 if you intend to spend the slab immediately.
Farming steps
- Enter Dragon’s Sanctum from Shulva and progress to the room containing the first two Sanctum Knights.
- Observe the knights’ positions and draw them away from the chest area if needed.
- Defeat the guards or move past them carefully, then approach the chest.
- Open the chest and collect the Titanite Slab.
- Check inventory to confirm the pickup and review which standard equipment still needs its final upgrade.
- Travel to a blacksmith and apply the slab to the chosen item’s +9 to +10 step.
- Keep any remaining Slabs for other high-priority standard equipment.
- Confirm the item uses standard Titanite before bringing it to the blacksmith; special equipment follows a separate upgrade material path.
- The pickup is fixed and limited per cycle, so collect it before attempting rare enemy-drop farming.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a one-time fixed pickup per cycle. A Bonfire Ascetic can restore eligible content but does not guarantee that unique chest rewards return; do not treat it as a repeat farm.
Common mistakes
- Confusing the slab with Twinkling Titanite or Petrified Dragon Bone; check the blacksmith’s upgrade path before spending it.
- Opening the chest while both knights are attacking; control the room first so the pickup is not interrupted.
- Burning an Ascetic expecting a guaranteed second slab; use only confirmed repeatable sources for additional slabs.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the chest is looted and the slab is used or reserved for a specific +9 standard item; use a different source if more slabs are needed.
