Scavenger Pens chest with Flawless Forged Metal, Phantom Blade Zero

Quick answer: Find Flawless Forged Metal on the tea table in the Crimson Manor inner hall and in a chest in the Scavenger Pens (x6). You can also buy it from Quick Hand Zhang for 2,880 Remnant Dust.


What it does

The item card lists Flawless Forged Metal under “Weapon Upgrade Materials” and reads:

“The smelter has burned through his last furnace of charcoal, pouring a lifetime of knowledge into this silent ingot. Whether it becomes a weapon of legend now rests with the smith who works it.”

“Required to upgrade One-Handed weapons from Lv. 20 to max level.”

In practice, it only matters once a One-Handed weapon reaches Lv. 20. From there to max level, you need this metal.


Where to find it

Scavenger Pens chest (x6)

Go to the Scavenger Pens bell at the base of the shaft in Crimson Manor.
Step off the edge of the bell shelf and drop into the arena below. The fall does no damage.
Head across the arena to its opposite edge; a rock plugs a gap in the wall there.
Press L CTRL at the prompt on top of the rock. Soul squeezes through the gap.
