Pale Ore

Rare, pale metal that emanates an icy chill. Prized by those who craft weapons.

Uses

Pale Ore is a material used in the creation of high-quality weapons. Providing the Nailsmith with Pale Ore will allows him to upgrade the player's Nail. The first upgrade requires no Pale Ore, the second requires one, the third requires two, and the final upgrade requires three Pale Ore, for a total of six.

Locations

There are six pieces of Pale Ore to be found in total:

Source	Conditions / Requirements
1. Found in Ancient Basin, found to the left of the tram station and the main Ancient Basin entrance.	Defeat two Lesser Mawleks that guard it
2. Found in Hallownest's Crown at the very top of Crystal Peak, embedded in the pedestal of a statue of The Radiance	Requires Monarch Wings*
3. Found in a secret spot in the Deepnest, accessed by breaking a wall in the room just left of the hot springs	Requires defeating Nosk
4. Given by Grubfather	Requires rescuing 31 Grubs
5. Given by the Seer	Requires collecting 300 Essence with the Dream Nail
6. Reward in Colosseum of Fools	Complete the Trial of the Conqueror

*Can be reached without Monarch Wings, with some difficulty. The two jumps on the path that would normally require Monarch Wings can be done by nail-jumping off a breakable crystal (for the first) and a Crystal Hunter (for the second).

Bugs

• Due to a known bug, the Colosseum of Fools does not yield the correct rewards in the GOG version of the game, making the last Pale Ore unobtainable and the Pure Nail unavailable.
