Reinforcement and comparison
In-game description
Weapon type: Catalyst
Attack type: Thrust
Catalyst imbued in terrifying crystal magic.
Used by Logan after his fixation on Seath.
Makes all sorceries incredibly powerful, but
demands extremely high intelligence from its
wielder, and halves sorcery usages.
Where to find
Quest enemy drop
The Duke's Archives
Requirements
- Progress Logan's quest to his Archives book-room shop.
- Free Logan from the hanging cage behind the breakable wall in Sen's Fortress. Aim the boulder machine down the corridor with the resting serpent to break the wall, then unlock Logan's cage with the Cage Key or Master Key.
- Later, find him in the large cell at the bottom of the Duke's Archives prison tower. Collect the Archive Tower Giant Cell Key from the chest in the bookshelf shortcut area near the route out to Crystal Cave. Return to the prison, unlock his cell and speak to him.
- Visit his new shop in the small book room near the shortcut ladder and lever. Buy every sorcery he offers there, defeat Seath in Crystal Cave and exhaust Logan's dialogue. Reload the area to advance his final appearance.
- Return to the room where Seath first defeated you at the top of the Archives. Logan now waits there hostile. Defeat him and collect the Tin Crystallization Catalyst, Big Hat and White Dragon Breath.
- The ordinary early Logan encounter does not award this catalyst. Preserve his quest and shop until the final stage.
Notes
- Requirements and weight: Requires 7 Strength, 32 Intelligence and weighs 2.5.
- Spell power: Has very strong Intelligence scaling for sorceries. Its high power is supplied when casting through this catalyst; simply holding it beside another casting tool does not give that tool the same spell power.
- Reduced casts: Halves available spell uses while active, including miracles and pyromancies cast through another tool. This is a penalty, not a free damage boost to the other hand.
- Melee: Its strong attack is a physical thrust. That melee attack has Strength scaling, separate from the Intelligence-based sorcery power.
- Casting: Casts sorceries, not miracles or pyromancies. Attune the spell at a bonfire and meet that spell's own Intelligence requirement as well as the catalyst's requirements. The listed melee attack is separate from spell power.
- Reinforcement: Cannot be reinforced or converted to another upgrade path. It also cannot receive pine resins or weapon-enchantment spells.
