When first met
Well, a newcomer I see.
I am Andre, I serve in this shrine as a humble smith forging new weapons.
You're in search of the Lords of Cinder, I trust?
A toilsome journey, I wager. You'll require good arms.
Let me smith y' weapons. I am a smith, such is my purpose.
Greeting the player
Ahh, well met.
Tis good to see you in good health.
Whats needs smithing this day?
When leaving
Prithee, be careful. I don't want to see m' work squandered!.
Talking
Weapons and protection are sturdy enough, by and large.
But when overused, they'll eventually break.
When their durability is low, repair becomes a necessity.
Use a powder, or simply rest at a bonfire.
But should chance impel them break, bring them to me.
I'll hammer 'em back into shapre.
They take no pleasure in breaking, I assure y'.
So handle them with care, if y' would.
There are two ways to smith weapons.
Simple reinforcement is one, and infusion the other.
Reinforcement is straightforward. It strengthens a weapon without altering its property.
Infusion is a more advanced form of smithing that infuses an element.
Reinforcement requires titanite, and infusion requires gems.
Bring the stones and I'll do the smithing.
It's m' purpose, afterall!
In battle, y' weapons are yer only friends. Forge them well, and they won't let y' down.
Oh, by the by.
If you find any Estus Shards, bring 'em 'ere.
They can be used to reinforce either of y' Estus Flasks.
Without those flasks, you'd want for life or focus.
And they'll always stay with y', why not treat 'em well?
When attacked
That hurts!
Enough of that!
When killed
Beshrew your heart…
When talked to after he respawns
Overstep not yer bounds, cousin.
I may serve, but I'm no slave.
I have business I must attend. Be gone.
When given Farron Coal
Oh, my… this coal is from the Undead Legion…
Used to forge the weapons of Farron's Abyss Watchers.
A fine prize. I'm honoured to be endued with it.
Now I'll be equipped to infuse special gems.
Praise the gods, eh. Time to put this brawn to use!
When given Profaned Coal
Lords… where didye hap'n upon this Coal?
This is much too dark. I see the abyss in it…
Yet, a smith I remain. I won't turn down a request.
But forget not, your fight is for the flame, and y' fellow kin. Just like mine.
A cursed fate this may be, but hope remains, does it not?
When given Giant's Coal
My, my… The coal of that peaceable giant.
Seems like ages past. I imagine his passing was long ago.
I miss the old bugger, I do.
My thanks. I'll be sure this coal is put to good use.
I'll be smithing weapons never afore seen by the likes of y'!
It's but a small service, to pay my humble respects.
When given Sage's Coal
Well, well… What's the Undead Legion doing with a coal such as this?
I'd heard one of the Crystal Sages had sided with Farron's Abyss Watchers.
I suppose it must be true.
You should know, this coal is imbued with magic. First one I've ever seen.
Hardly a surprise is it? I've never been one for books or wise men.
When giving the Player Hawkwood's Swordgrass
That crestfallen arse Hawkwood, he handed me this.
He's changed a great deal since he left this place.
Graven of face, he asked me to give it y'.
Well, now that that task is concluded…
What would y' ha' me smith today?
