After fully upgrading your nail four times with the Nailsmith (which takes a total of 6 pale ore) you will have a tough conversation with the Nailsmith.

After fully upgrading the nail to the pure nail the Nailsmith will give you some new dialogue outside:
"With a Pure Nail forged, my work in this lifetime comes to an end. My only remaining desire is to see and feel the nail strike true!

I beg you, cut me down. As my final moment in life, I want to taste the blade's exquisite edge.

After all this time, all this toil... haven't I earned it?

Do not hesitate. I beg you. Cut me down! I want to taste that blade's exquisite edge."

Do Not Kill the Nailsmith! In this video I will show you how you can save the Nailsmith's life and he can live happy with Nail Master Sheo.


Note: The Nailsmith will not move to Sheo's hut if the player has not acquired Great Slash. He will disappear after being spared and only appear in Sheo's hut after the player has gained the ability and rested on a bench afterward.

    asks to be killed with the nail shoots vengeful spirit That is truly the most evil thing you could do there
  • @jordant4892
    Oh man....I struck him down in front of my 7 year old daughter....and then proceeded to have a talk with her about “honor” and “final wishes.” I feel sick
  • 2:18 genuinely very clean cut, I hardly even noticed you focusing to full health
  • @CreeperGuard
    I didn't know this, but I didn't kill him, thank the Pale King for my good nature in the game! No one deserves to die, if you've completed your life goals, find something new to do! Thank you for doing this and I'm getting that achievement asap!
  • @wiiugamer7595
    “Stop killing every bug you see” flashbacks to leaving Zote in Deepnest
  • @jdudeoes
    Ironically enough, I actually used Sheo's nail art to kill him.
  • I literally saw that and just stared at him for a second and then went "HECK NO." And just left.
  • @Techmoblad
    BRO AYO AT 1:40 I THOUGHT THE CRYSTAL DASH CONTACT HITBOX WOULD HAVE KILLED THE NAILSMITH I GENUINELY JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR THERE
  • @ShaudaySmith
    It’s sooo cute! They are building little figures together. When I visited Sheo was painting the Nailsmith like one of his French girls.
  • @Epic-12347
    “Shame on those who have killed the nail smith” “Tf were we supposed to do if he asked us to kill him? Like, he said that pretty clearly, did he studder?”
  • 3 years later and this video still puts a big warm smile on my face
  • @davidholmes2932
    This literally came on my recommended just after I killed him øøf
  • @marxbleh3854
    "Stop killing every bug you see they are not all bad" (thinks about Myla) I will forever miss you my love...
  • @moon83star30
    I'm so happy I found this video, and now I know I can refuse his request. ❤ Thank you!
  • @domomcbeasty743
    Now I can’t have a save file where everyone is alive...because I need to leaving Zote behind achievement
  • @thaumiel_049
    The game makes you think "If i wont kill him he will hate me and he will be unhappy, and he will have nothing to do with his life" I think most of the players killed him, and they never knew that he coud've found new reason to live.
  • @sinom
    "and you can't kill him anymore" Wtf now I'm imagining what would happen if they still allowed you to kill him at this point.
  • Im starting to hate the fact that I'm finding out about irreversible fuck-uos in my 40+ hour playthrough
