Once inside, follow the straight path until you eventually come across a ladder that you can use to reach a lever. While this lever will drop a massive pillar that will allow you to progress further into the dungeon, what we’re here for is nearby in the same room as the lever.

After pulling the lever, drop down and defeat the enemy here, then loot the item on the wall to get the Smithscript Dagger. Before you leave though, be sure to continue across the pillar to the end of the dungeon to grab the Anvil Hammer and an Ancient Dragonsmithing Stone.
