How to unlock the Fire Weapon achievement in Dark Souls - Definitive Guide

To create a Fire Weapon you need to begin with a standard weapon ( one that you can appply pine resin to otherwise it is unique and will not work )

Then you will need to recover the Large Flame Ember which is located in Lost Izalith and give this to Vamos who is located in the catacombs which will allow him to complete his Fire upgrade from +5 to +10. Vamos can automatically make Fire weapons to +5.See vid for location video by Marce1024

In order to complete the Fire weapon from scratch you will ultimately require 9 Titanite shards , 11 Large Green Titanite shards , 9 Chunks of Red Titanite and 1 Red Titanite Slab

Red Titanite Chunks - Lost Izalith the tentacle monster plants can drop them and they respawn apparently but the best place to farm all chunks are at the very end of the game in the Kiln of the First Flame.

Red Titanite Slab - Rare drop from Chaos Eater in Lost Izalith
and in a treasure chest prior to boss Bed of Chaos(the Giant Tree) of Lost Izalith(see vid credit to MrSiegeBreaker13).

Here is a Chart which was created by an unknown so credit to whoever they are.

TRICK-To get the achievement without using your items simply fully upgrade the item in one shot and wait until the achievement pops WITHOUT leaving the upgrade window thus not allowing the game to save the data then simply turn off the game and turn back on. Supposedly worked on Demons Souls

***thanks to NITEMARECREATOR for correcting and verify the number of Large Green Titanite and Chunks to be used.

I can more-or-less verify the "trick" you speak of at the bottom of this hint. It's the easiest (if not the only!) way to get all the weapon enhancement achievements in a single playthrough of the game. The game WILL save any ascensions to the weapon, but not the further enhancements, so long as you quit out to the dashboard as soon as the achievement message fades. When you reload, you'll have retained any materials since the most recent time the weapon was ascended (so, for this one it'll come back as a +6 Fire weapon, and you'll keep the extra Red Titanite Chunks and the Slab that you'd "spent" to get it to +7->+10.)

Glad to help clarify!

Okay, do we go with the quantites that you speak of or the quantities in the pic?? You say "9 Large Green Titanite shards , 8 Chunks of Red Titanite". The diagram shows 11 Large and 9 Chunks. ?!? shock

@nitemarecreator Hmmmm...well I didn't have this chart when I did mine originally and perhaps I miscounted how many I used for the Fire upgrades so I will change it since I assume the chart is correct,but please let me know how many you use so we can verify the count. Sorry for any confusion.

if you summon someone into your game and they drop a +15 fire weapon and you pick it up, do you get the achievement? rinse, repeat for the other achieves too?

I really dunno , best thing to do would be test it out and let us know. I'd try it with you but no longer have the game so only trick would be finding someone willing who already has the weapon .

I should point out it is possible to get all theses weapons in 1 playthrough without the trick. There are enemies who drop slabs although it is rare. Crystal Moonlight Butterflies drop Blue Titanite Slabs, Darkwraiths drop Titanite Slabs as well as chunks and Pinwheel guys right before Gravelord Nito drop White Titanite Slabs and Red Titanite Slabs can be dropped of Chaos eaters in Izalith or trade a Ascended Pyromancy Flame with the Snuggly crow

People can drop you weapons and you will get the achievements if they are at the highest rank

Apparently the little Pinwheel Skeletons from the next room can actually KILL Vamos. Guess I won't be getting this until NG+. Ugh.

Hello everyone, today I will be showing you all how to get the Fire Weapon trophy. For this you will need the Large Flame Ember, which you will then need to bring to Vamos in the bottom of The Catacombs. Down below I have added a video showing you an indepth video of where to get everything, and what you will have to do to upgrade your weapon.

To acquire this trophy you will have to upgrade a weapon through fire reinforcement up to the maximum amount possible, which is a +10 fire weapon.

The only blacksmith capable of completing this job is the skeleton blacksmith Vamos in the Catacombs, near the entrance to Pinwheel's lair (although to reach him you must come from the Catacomb's bonfire), you will need to give him the Large Flame Ember. You must give him a +5 weapon in order for him to reinforce it with fire capabilities.

Weapon from +0 to +5 = 9x Titanite Shards required
~~ Blacksmith Vamos required ~~
Weapon from +5 to Fire +5 = 11x Green Titanite Shards required
~~ Large Flame Ember and Blacksmith Vamos required ~~
Weapon from Fire +5 to Fire +9 = 7x Red Titanite Chunks required
Weapon from Fire +9 to Fire +10 = 1x Red Titanite Slab required
