The Hylian Blacksmith Guild is a service in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity where the player can fuse or sell weapons. It becomes available after completing the Road to the Ancient Lab scenario in Chapter 1, and is unlocked by providing 5 Ironshrooms to complete the Brawny Blacksmiths quest. The shop is located in Central Hyrule and run by Cedro the Blacksmith.
"Revitalize your weapons using techniques learned through years of study and practice."

Fuse Weapons
To fuse weapons, first select a character, then select a weapon to enhance as a base. Then select up to five other weapons to use as fusing material. Weapons that are locked or currently equipped can be enhanced but cannot be used as material. The price in Rupees depends on the type of weapon used as a base multiplied by the number of weapons (regardless of type) used as material.
Each weapon used as a material provides a certain amount of EXP to the base weapon. There is a chance that the fusion will be a great success, which grants additional EXP. When the base weapon receives enough EXP to level up, its damage increases by a set amount, regardless of the materials used. Additional slots for seals are unlocked at levels 5, 10, and 20, for a total of four at level 20. After raising the level limit, additional pre-determined seals are added at levels 25 and 30.
If the base weapon has an open seal slot, or will have one as a result of leveling up from the fusion, it will be filled by the first seal on the first weapon used as fusion material that has a seal. If multiple slots are open, they are filled in the order the material weapons are selected, using only one seal per weapon. If a new slot unexpectedly opens due to a great success, it will not be filled, except for special seals at levels 25 and 30.
Combining seals of the same category, denoted by the shape of the seal icon, yields a bonus to both weapon damage and seal effect. Two seals of the same category give +5 damage, and four give +15 damage. These can be stacked for up to +20 bonus damage. The displayed damage on the weapon includes this bonus—e.g. "76 +5" does not mean 81, and would be 71 without the bonus.

2 Hidden Seal (Lv. 25 or 30) only.
Tips
Scenarios with a higher recommended level reward higher-tier weapons with more base damage and better seals. Try to find and use a weapon with the "Improves Quality of Found Weapons" seal to further improve found weapons.
When you find a weapon with the "Fusion Material EXP" seal, fuse other weapons into it while adding other circle-type seals to further increase the EXP bonus. Then you can fuse it into any other weapon for a massive EXP boost.
If you're low on rupees, you can fuse extra weapons into a lower-tier weapon to cheaply store up EXP. Later you can fuse it into a higher-tier weapon, paying the higher cost only once. Combine this with "Fusion Material EXP" for even more efficiency.
Huge successes can be exploited by saving before fusing, and loading that save if the result isn't a huge success.
Raise Weapon-Level Limit
Once a weapon has reached level 20, the Hylian Blackmith Guild can raise its maximum level to 25, and at level 25 it can be raised to 30. With the DLC, at level 30 it can be raised one more time to 50. Raising the weapon-level limit costs a certain amount of materials and rupees.
20→25 | 25→30 | 30→50 | |
---|---|---|---|
Plant-type materials | 70 | ||
Fish-type materials | 30 | 30 | |
Critter-type materials | 50 | 50 | |
Monster-type materials | 50 | 100 | 200 |
Trophies | 100 | 250 | 500 |
Rupees | 450 | 900 | 1,800 |
Remove Seals
Removing seals opens slots that can be filled with different seals. The Hylian Blacksmith Guild offers three types of seal removal: it can remove one seal at a time, all seals at once (excluding Hidden Seals), or a Hidden Seal (DLC only). To remove seals from a weapon, first select the character, then select the weapon, followed by one of the removal types. For "Remove One" and "Remove Hidden Seal" you will be prompted for which seal to remove. Prices are listed below:
Remove One | Remove All | Remove Hidden Seal | |
---|---|---|---|
Fruit-type materials | 20 | 40 | |
Mushroom-type materials | 20 | 40 | 50 |
Meat-type materials | 20 | 40 | 50 |
Ore-type materials | 20 | ||
Monster-type materials | 30 | 60 | 100 |
Guardian-type materials | 20 | ||
Trophies | 100 | 200 | 300 |
Rupees | 270 | 540 | 1,800 |

Sell
