Deep Dark Essence

Deep Dark Essence is a type of gem used in crafting.
== Characteristics ==
Deep Dark Essence is used in a limited number of crafting recipes. It is used to create the Deep Corrupt Master Sword, enhance the Death Sword, and re-curse the Magic Armor if purified.
== Location ==
Deep Dark Essence can be created by offering a standard Dark Essence at the Goddess Font within Goddess Shrines, provided all three Lolian Triforce Pieces have been obtained.
A single gem has a 1.4% chance to be obtained from a Blue Kinstone fusion and a lower chance to be within a Dark Chest of Wonders.
== Crafting ==
Deep Dark Essence can be crafted at an Ancient Enchanter and requires an appropriate artifact to be present as a catalyst.
Required Items 	Match Conditions	Alternate Conditions
Dark Essence (1) 	Trident of Power	Deep Corrupt Master Sword
Black Soul Gem(Empty) (1)	 	or Triforce of Knowledge
Daedra Heart (3) 	 	or Ebony Blade
 	 	or Ebony Mail
 	 	or Mace of Molag Bal
 	 	or Mehrunes' Razor
 	 	or Skull of Corruption
== Lore ==
Deep Dark Essence is an example of ancient Lolian magic and can be considered to be crystallized darkness or fragments of the Dark World. Command Daedra is used because Lolian magic is ancient and forgotten to the citizens of Tamriel. The Dragonborn has to improvise and use tools at his or her disposal to amplify Dark Essence.
== Background and Inspiration ==
Deep Dark Essence was added in version 4.1 of Relics of Hyrule alongside the Deep Corrupt Master Sword. Both were included as darker, evil equivalents to Potent Light Essence and the True Master Sword. Deep Dark Essence has a single, straightforward recipe as commentary that an evil path is often easier than a good one.
In version 6.5.16, the crafting recipe for Deep Dark Essence was streamlined.
