Starting from the Forge Site of Grace, head southeast into the first chamber. Cross the bridge and interact with the lever to open the gate to the east. Continue down the accessible hallway, then turn south into another hallway.

At the end of this hallway, climb the ladder and proceed down the corridor. In the next chamber, climb the rubble to reach a platform. Drop down to the elevated area and cross the bridge to interact with another lever. This will cause the gate to the north to lower.

Proceed down this hall to find the Smithscript Cirque weapon. To obtain the greatsword, interact with the lever beyond the gate, then stand on the gate as it rises to access a secluded area with a forge altar.
