Plot
Likely the first blacksmith the player comes across, Andre of Astora can be a welcome sight. Andre of Astora is the only blacksmith that can ascend weapons down the regular path from +5 to +6 and from +10 to +11. He is also the only blacksmith that can upgrade weapons down the Divine and Occult paths. He also sells some basic upgrade materials, weapons, and armor. Finally, he sells the Crest of Artorias, which is required to take the shortcut to the more dangerous areas of the Darkwood Forest.
