Wait, wait, wait. Wait. Player. Get back here.

Did I just see you thinking about wearing Kromede's Flame as a necklace?

Only an Elmo would do that! Kromede's Flame is meant to be used to improve the Greatsword of the Judge.

Player: "Is it now?"

Yes. There are three things you need to reinforce the Greatsword of the Judge.

You need Kromede's Flame, the Greatsword of the Judge, and a talented blacksmith.

I can provide the smithing part, if you can get the Greatsword of the Judge. Interested?

Player: Accept.

I'd say you made a wise choice, but there's really no choice to make, is there?

I heard that Kromede the Corrupt in the Fire Temple of Morheim has the Greatsword of the Judge.

Maybe that's a good place to start looking.

Player: "I'll do that."

Welcome back. Did you bring the Greatsword 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.

But she's gone, and you're here. Give the greatsword here, along with Kromede's Flame, and then step back. No, further.

Player: "Here!"

You really think I might mess up the Greatsword of the Judge? Me?

Greatswords are pretty much all I work with these days. I'm confident I can handle this one, especially when Kromede's Flame is involved!

Just head back to me when you have the greatsword and Kromede's Flame in your Cube, and I'll show you.

Player: "Maybe I'll come back...."

Whoof. Erg. Okay, now I take Kromede's Flame and render it down into a powder...

...then I take the Greatsword of the Judge and fold it...don't worry, it's supposed to bend like that....

Aaand...here's your Kromede's Greatsword, better than new!
