Defeating the Flamelurker

The Flamelurker dishes out massive fire damage that can kill anyone in a few hits. So grind some souls and healing items before taking on this boss. Be sure not to consume his soul once you kill him, as you will need to trade this later.

4. Ride the elevator down to the bottom, and you will see BlackSmith Ed forging weapons.
5. Hand him the Searing Demon Soul, and he will now be able to craft weapons using boss souls.
