Titanite upgrade materials
Claim the Stray Demon’s Titanite Slab
The Stray Demon awards one guaranteed normal Titanite Slab, making this a dependable finite upgrade-material objective.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Claim the Stray Demon’s Titanite Slab
Undead Asylum, in the arena beneath the collapsed floor in the starting courtyard.
Before you go
- Reach Firelink Shrine and return to the Undead Asylum.
- Bring a weapon upgraded enough to handle a boss-length fight.
- Carry healing and a plan for managing the boss’s area attacks.
Farming steps
- Return to the Undead Asylum and make your way back to the starting courtyard.
- Approach the broken floor and drop into the arena below.
- Keep mobile and punish the Stray Demon after its attacks rather than staying close during area attacks.
- Defeat the boss and collect the Titanite Slab reward.
- Check the inventory to confirm the slab was received.
- Take it to the appropriate blacksmith when the chosen weapon reaches its eligible upgrade step.
- Normal Titanite Slabs are used for the final normal weapon reinforcement from +14 to +15; check the weapon path before committing.
- This reward is guaranteed upon defeating the Stray Demon, so Item Discovery gear is unnecessary for the boss reward.
Repeat, collect and use
This reward is one-time per game cycle. The Stray Demon does not provide a repeatable slab farm within that cycle.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the slab is a random drop: defeat the Stray Demon to claim its guaranteed reward.
- Using the slab on an ineligible or lower-priority weapon: check upgrade requirements and choose the intended weapon first.
- Dropping into the arena without healing ready: prepare for the boss encounter before entering.
When to stop or switch
Stop after confirming the slab is in your inventory; pursue Darkwraiths or another cycle only if you need more slabs.
