History of EDZ Black Armory Smith

Overview

EDZ Black Armory Smith is a Triumph that asks you to forge Black Armory weapons at the forges on the EDZ. It is the EDZ counterpart of the Nessus forge triumph in the same set.

How to complete

1. Unlock the forges. Talk to Ada-1, the Black Armory Curator, in the Tower Annex on the EDZ to start the quest. She gives you a weapon frame. Collect a Weapon Core from a stolen Black Armory crate and Compound Ether from the Fallen, then defeat powerful enemies for Radiant Seeds. Turn the seeds into a Radiant Matrix and return it to Ada-1 to finish the quest.
2. Pick the forge of the day. Open the EDZ map. Only one of the four forges (Volundr, Gofannon, Izanami and Bergusia) is available each day, on a rotation.
3. Clear the forge. Each forge has two timed rounds and a boss in the third. During the rounds, collect 20 Radiant Batteries from glowing enemies and throw them into the Forge Ignition. The forge's recommended power is 610, and 625 for the final boss (2020).
4. Forge the weapons. Completing a forge gives Black Armory caches. Use the weapon frames from Ada-1 to forge the Legendary weapons, and keep forging across the rotation until the triumph's weapon types are done.

Tips

• Only one forge is open per day, so plan the rest of the set around the rotation.
• The EDZ requirement is three weapon types, and the forge weapons are Hammerhead, Ringing Nail, Stryker's Sure-Hand, Tatara Gaze, Kindled Orchid, Spiteful Fang and Blast Furnace (2019).
• The Black Armory seal, which unlocks the Blacksmith title, also asks for the Master Smith triumph (forge 100 times), which drops the Platinum Starling ship.
