How to unlock the Raw Weapon achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires having Blacksmith Andre in the Undead Parish upgrade a standard weapon to Raw +5, which requires 9 Titanite shards (going from base weapon to +5) and 10 Large Titanite shards (going from +5 to Raw +5). This upgrade achievement is the easiest to unlock as it doesn't require Titanite Chunks or a Titanite Slab, but you will need the Large Ember from the Depths in order to ascend the +5 weapon to Raw.

From Andre's menu, choose "Reinforce Weapon" and upgrade a weapon to +5. Then choose "Modify Equipment" and upgrade ("ascend") the +5 weapon to Raw +1. Then back up and choose "Reinforce Weapon" to upgrade the Raw +1 weapon to Raw +5 and the achievement will pop.

Note that you can save your Large Titanite Shards by dashboarding after the final upgrade rather than backing out of Andre's upgrade menu. When you reload the game, it will be as if you hadn't entered the final series of upgrades so you'll have your materials back and the weapon will not be fully upgraded.

As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com for specific information relating to items or locations.

Just to add to the solution, you will need the Large Ember to ascend a +5 weapon to raw. The Large Ember is located in the Depths, near the start in a chest by the first Butcher.

This did not unlock for me. I had trouble with the darkmoon blade achievement as well but that unlocked within 45 min. This hasn't unlocked after 4 days.

I didn't unlock the achievement as well, even tho I crafted multiple new Raw weapons to +5, will try to give an update once I try on a new character as suggested here.

This would only pop when upgrading the ‘Broadsword’ for me personally.

People have had various issues with achievements unlocking. For this, other than continuing to wait, you could try crafting another +5 Raw weapon, but it might require that you do it on a subsequent playthrough or even on a new character.

Lame :/

To acquire this trophy you will have to upgrade a weapon through raw reinforcement up to the maximum amount possible, which is a +5 raw weapon.

The only blacksmith capable of completing this job is blacksmith Andrei of Astoria in the Undead Parish, near the church, you will need to give him the Large Ember. You must give him a regular +5 weapon in order for him to reinforce it with raw capabilities.

Weapon from +0 to +5 = 9x Titanite Shards required
~~ Large Ember and Andrei of Astoria required ~~
Weapon from +5 to Raw +5 = 10x Large Titanite Shards required

The trophy is made from a blacksmith in the Undead District (Andre from Astora), for this we need to find coal: “Big Coal”. We improve ordinary weapons to +5 (with ordinary titanite), then with rough sharpening to +5
