The Sword of St. Mihai: Peak silver damage and belfry puzzle

Among all armaments discovered across Vale Sangora, the Sword of St. Mihai stands as the definitive silver weapon for dismantling the vampire hierarchy. Blessed by the orthodox clergy before the fall of Laslea, its blade channels permanent consecrated silver flame that deals massive posture damage to nocturnal creatures.

To locate the sword, travel to the Flooded Belfry in the northwestern marshlands (Map Grid D-3). Coen must first drain the lower reservoir by aligning the twin weir wheels located along the outer aqueduct. Once the water recedes, scale the interior timber scaffolding to access the suspended reliquary.

The reliquary lock requires the Saint's Sigil, obtained by inspecting the effigy in the adjacent crypt. Wielding this sword reduces posture recovery times for high-ranking vampire lieutenants by nearly half, making it mandatory for aggressive melee duelists.

Durandal (Secret Gladius): Zero-combat horseback ride-in pickup

For players seeking top-tier raw physical damage within the first 30 minutes of exiting the prologue, Durandal (identified in military logs as the Secret Gladius) represents the ultimate zero-risk acquisition. It features the highest base physical attack scaling of any one-handed blade in early-game districts.

The weapon lies abandoned inside a shattered royal courier carriage submerged in the shallow mud flats south of Blackford (Map Grid B-2). From the Laslea village gates, ride directly southwest following the riverbank path to bypass all Silverguard road checkpoints.

Submerge into the sunken carriage cabin and interact with the iron-bound lockbox resting beneath the driver's seat. Because no regional boss or elite guardian patrols this specific mud flat, players can equip Durandal immediately at level one to breeze through early human rebel encounters.

Erkas Greatsword: Colossal lifesteal and Ancient Circle riddles

Colossal weapon enthusiasts and hybrid blood spellcasters will find their ideal centerpiece in Erkas Greatsword. Found deep within the subterranean vaults beneath the Eastern Crags (Map Grid F-5), this massive two-handed executioner blade siphons vitality directly from hemorrhaging targets.

Accessing the inner sanctum requires solving the dial alignment puzzle at Ancient Circle Vault 3. Rotate the outer stone dial to the Wolf crest and the inner ring to the Solar Eclipse icon during a twilight hour to unseal the hydraulic stone gateway.

Inside, defeat the two chained blood thralls using firebombs or daylight arrows. Once cleared, retrieve the greatsword from the central sarcophagus. Its unique perk, Sanguine Hunger, allows Coen to recover substantial vitality without expending crafted healing draughts during extended dungeon delves.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get the Sword of St. Mihai without fighting the Belfry boss?

Yes. By using mist traversal or climbing the exterior buttresses at dusk, Coen can access the upper reliquary chamber without triggering the subterranean aquatic boss below.

Is Durandal viable for the late-game final boss?

While Durandal excels in raw physical cutting damage against human foes, its low silver scaling makes it suboptimal against late-game vampire progenitors unless coated with silver oils.

What stat requirements are needed to wield Erkas Greatsword?

Erkas Greatsword requires 18 Strength and 14 Blood Arts affinity to wield without swinging speed penalties.
