- Give Andre the Large Ember for +6. The Large Ember is in the Depths, in the chest beside the first butcher’s work area.
- Use the Very Large Ember for +11. The Very Large Ember is in the lower New Londo Ruins area accessible after the water is drained.
- Compare paths before converting. Elemental and magical paths change damage types and scaling; they are not simply larger numbers on the same normal path.
