Where to find

Merchant purchase

Sen's Fortress

Cost: 1000 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Open Sen's Fortress by ringing both bells.
  • Keep the Crestfallen Merchant alive and friendly.
  1. Ring both bells and climb the fortress beyond Andre, passing the boulders and swinging blades until you reach the open roof.
  2. Take a running jump over the gap in the upper walkway leading to a separate tower. Enter that tower and speak to the armored merchant.
  3. Buy Titanite Shard from the Crestfallen Merchant.

Merchant purchase

Undead Parish

Cost: 800 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Keep Andre alive and friendly.
  1. From the Parish church, take the stone passage toward the building opposite the church. Descend past the bonfire to the workshop below.
  2. Speak to Andre at the anvil. You do not need to give him an ember to buy materials.
  3. Buy Titanite Shard from Andre of Astora.

Merchant purchase

Anor Londo

Cost: 800 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Keep the Giant Blacksmith alive and friendly.
  1. Reach the cathedral interior beyond the Silver Knight archers. From its upper floor, use the stairs leading down toward the blacksmith on the side of the main hall.
  2. Find the seated giant working at his anvil. Open the nearby outside door as a shortcut, then speak to him. Ornstein and Smough do not need to be defeated first.
  3. Buy Titanite Shard from the Giant Blacksmith.

Merchant purchase

The Catacombs

Cost: 800 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Keep Vamos alive and friendly.
  1. From Firelink graveyard, descend into the Catacombs and use the bridge switches to reach the deeper spiral stairways.
  2. At the broken end of the spiral staircase, look below for the successive ledges. Drop from ledge to ledge toward the opening beside the blacksmith rather than jumping to the bottom.
  3. Approaching Vamos triggers him to break a wall, opening access to his workshop. Speak to him without attacking. Remastered has a bonfire in this workshop.
  4. Buy Titanite Shard from Vamos.
  • Resting deep in the Catacombs before gaining warping can make the return climb difficult.

Merchant purchase

Oolacile tower above the Artorias arena

Cost: 800 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

  • Obtain the Crest Key and keep Gough alive.
  • Keep Hawkeye Gough alive and friendly.
  1. Defeat Artorias and explore Oolacile Township to find the Mimic holding the Crest Key.
  2. Return to the arena approach and take the stairs around its outer wall to the locked tower door. Open it with the Crest Key, climb the ladder and speak to Gough.
  3. Buy Titanite Shard from Hawkeye Gough.

Repeatable enemy drop

Undead Parish

  1. From Andre's bonfire, cross to the church and defeat the Balder Knights and Hollow Soldiers along the approach. Collect their drops and rest to repeat.
  2. The large armored knight inside the church also gives a guaranteed shard when first defeated, but that particular enemy does not respawn.

Material breakdown

Firelink Shrine

Requirements

  • Ring both Bells of Awakening and keep Frampt available.
  1. Return to the ruined pool beside Firelink Shrine after ringing both bells. Speak to the large serpent emerging from the drained opening.
  2. Carry one Large Titanite Shard or one Green Titanite Shard and choose its named Titanite feeding option to receive five Titanite Shards. The ordinary Feed Item menu pays souls instead.
  3. This consumes the higher-grade material. The exchange cannot be reversed.
  • Placing the Lordvessel without Frampt or siding with Kaathe can remove access to this service.

Notes

  • Weapon upgrades: Reinforces compatible normal weapons and shields from +0 to +5. The five upgrades use 1, 1, 2, 2 and 3 shards, for nine total. A blacksmith can do these upgrades without an ember.
  • Armor upgrades: Also reinforces ordinary upgradeable armor through +3. Costs vary by armor family: Leather Armor uses four shards in total, while Chain Armor uses six. Armor with a Twinkling Titanite path uses that material instead.
  • Buying and DLC: Andre, Vamos, the Giant Blacksmith and Gough sell shards at the same lower price. The Crestfallen Merchant charges more. Gough is the DLC supplier; there is no separate DLC version of the shard.
  • Reinforcing away from a smith: The Weapon Smithbox allows eligible reinforcement at bonfires. It does not perform the path changes or limit-breaking modifications reserved for particular blacksmiths. Armor reinforcement requires the Armor Smithbox instead.
