The Smithscript Dagger is located within the Ruined Forge Lava Intake dungeon. It is on the eastern side of the Gravesite Plain region, after crossing the Ellac Greatbridge and taking the lower path right of the Castle Front Site of Grace.

The small dungeon also contains the Anvil Hammer weapon at the end of it. So, be sure to finish the dungeon completely to get two weapons for your troubles.

Elden Ring players can get the Smithscript Dagger halfway through Ruined Forge Lava Intake dungeon by looting a specific corpse. The dungeon is fairly straightforward but has some lumbering enemies with high defense.

Make your way down the linear path and take the top path when you reach the larger room. There will be a lever to pull that drops a column into the vast lava pit. Both paths go to the same place, but the lever is needed to progress further in the dungeon.

The platform to jump off from contains a corpse against the far wall and one of the lumbering enemies. Kill or dodge the enemy and loot the corpse to get the Smithscript Dagger.

The Smithscript Dagger contains the Piercing Throw Skill, which lets players throw the knives even further and can pierce foes. The weapon requires 11 Dexterity, 11 Intelligence, 11 Faith, and five Strength to wield.
