Wait, your character. What are you planning to do with Kromede's Flame?

You could wear it as a necklace, of course, but that would hardly be the way to unlock its true potential.

No, the way to do that is to melt it down--hang on, let me finish--melt it down and combine it with the Sword of the Judge.

To reinforce the Sword of the Judge, you need three things.

First, you need Kromede's Flame--which you've already got. Next you need a talented blacksmith, and, well, here I am.

And obviously, to reinforce the Sword of the Judge you need to possess it first. Sound interesting?

I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I really do think I'm an excellent smith. You can trust me with this task.

But like I said, before we begin you'll need the Sword of the Judge.

From what I've heard, Kromede the Corrupt in the Fire Temple of Morheim is the present owner. Why don't you go make her an offer she can't refuse?

You doubt my skills? What?

One day I'll be one of the most famous blacksmiths in all Asmodae! Possibly all Atreia!

Think about this--I'm sure you'll change your mind.

You're back! Did you bring the Sword of the Judge with you?

Don't weep for Kromede.... She's been taken over by grief and hate. She doesn't deserve your compassion anymore.

Hand over the sword, along with Kromede's Flame, and I'll refine it in no time at all.

You really think I might ruin the Sword of the Judge?

I made a sword for Lord Vidar himself once. Go ask him!

Now stop being a sissy Elyos and hand over the goods. Remember! Both Kromede's Flame and the weapon need to be in your Cube!

Whew, this is hard. One false move and.... Oh no! I ruined it! It's broken!

Haha, just kidding. You should have seen the look on your face. Priceless!

Anyway, here's your Kromede's Sword--I'm sure you'll appreciate the craftsmanship.

1. Collect the materials needed to refine the Sword of the Judge and bring them to Walter.

   Sword of the Judge, Kromede's Flame

Walter said he will refine the Sword of the Judge for you. Bring him the Sword of the Judge and Kromede's Flame.

Walter said Kromede's Flame can be used to reinforce the Sword of the Judge, if you possess both items.

You gave him both Kromede's Flame and the Sword of the Judge, and, true to his word, he crafted a truly legendary weapon, Kromede's Sword for you.
