Boltstone - Dark Souls 2

Boltstone

An altered state of titanite. Use to imbue weapons with lightning, or to provide lightning reduction to shields. Sorcerers at the Melfian Magic Academy once attempted to imbue titanite with various elements, but are said to have failed. Someone must have succeeded though; what else would explain this stone?

BoltStone is a type of upgrade material in Dark Souls 2.

Usage

• Can only be used at Blacksmith Steady Hand McDuff
• Used to imbue equipment with lightning. This reduces the Strength and Dexterity scaling, but adds a Faith scaling. (Different weapons add different tiers of scaling).

• Randomly given in exchange for Smooth & Silky Stone with Dyna and Tillo.
• Sold by Stone Trader Chloanne after obtaining the King's Ring.
• Dropped by a Crystal Lizard in Shaded Ruins near Manscorpion Tark. (not in SotfS)
• Found on a corpse near the first dragon in Dragon Aerie. Can be farmed using Bonfire Ascetics, alongside a lot of other useful upgrade materials.
• 3 Boltstones are found in a chest in the Dragon Sanctum (Crown of the Sunken King DLC) along with 3 Bleedstones.
• 3 in an iron chest in Frozen Eleum Loyce in the area with the visible Witch Trees.
