WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Unlock the Blacksmith after Hamamatsu Incident
Eternal Rift hub, after completing The Hamamatsu Incident and defeating Jakotsu-baba.
Before you go
- Reach and complete The Hamamatsu Incident.
- Defeat Jakotsu-baba in that mission.
- Return to the Eternal Rift after the mission.
Farming steps
- Complete The Hamamatsu Incident and defeat Jakotsu-baba.
- Finish the mission and return to the Eternal Rift hub.
- Locate and interact with the newly available Blacksmith.
- Open the Forge menu and review which recipes are currently available.
- Gather the materials and Gold shown for a chosen item before forging.
- Return to the Blacksmith between missions to use the services you have unlocked.
- Smithing Texts and mission completions expand the forgeable equipment list over time.
- Soul Matching has a separate gate; completing this story mission does not by itself unlock that service.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a one-time progression unlock per character; no farming loop is required. Visit the Blacksmith whenever you need its services.
Common mistakes
- Looking for the Blacksmith before completing the story gate: finish the mission and boss encounter first.
- Expecting every Forge recipe immediately: collect the relevant Smithing Text and complete associated unlocks.
- Assuming Soul Matching is already available: complete A Fierce Flame and obtain Kagutsuchi’s Magatama.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the Blacksmith is accessible at the Eternal Rift; proceed with the separate Soul Matching unlock only when you need it.
