Inside the ruined forge, head over a small bridge and pull the lever on the other side to lower an iron door on the bottom floor. Eventually, you’ll come along a somewhat hidden ladder on your right side. Climb it and make your way across the rubble ahead and out the next door. Then, drop down onto the bridge in the following room (which resembles the first room of the dungeon).

Pull another lever in this room to lower an iron door. Walk through the newly opened path, but stop right at the beginning and look to your right to see another lever. Pull this lever and immediately run back to the iron door, stand on top of it, and ride it up to find the dungeon’s forge.

Walk over to the forge and interact with it to receive the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone as a reward for completing this dungeon.
