Contents
Step 1: Craft the Nichirin Sword
The Nichirin Sword is your gateway to accessing Tanjiro’s content. Here’s exactly how to craft it:
Requirements:
- Access to Blacksmith Island
- Drilling Artifacts (recommended for efficiency)
- Scarlet Ore (primary material)
Detailed Steps:
- Navigate to Blacksmith Island – This is your central hub for weapon crafting and Demon Slayer content
- Equip Drilling Artifacts – These significantly boost your mining efficiency and are essential for gathering Scarlet Ore quickly
- Mine Scarlet Ore – This rare material is only obtainable through mining. Look for mining nodes around Blacksmith Island and other resource-rich areas
- Visit the Blacksmith NPC – Once you have enough Scarlet Ore, talk to the blacksmith to forge your Nichirin Sword
- Optional Enhancements – You can enhance or bless your Nichirin Sword for additional stats, though this isn’t required for the questline
Step 2: Locate Tanjiro NPC
After crafting your Nichirin Sword, you need to find the quest giver. Interestingly, the Tanjiro NPC is labeled as “Tanjiro’s Dad” and can be found behind the blacksmith area on Blacksmith Island. Don’t let the confusing label fool you – this is indeed Tanjiro himself, and he’ll start you on your journey.
