Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇵

Greatsword of the Fire Knight Queelign. A weighty piercing sword with a blade that undulates like fire.

Queelign devoted his all to the crusade, and remade his sword in the shape of the lance wielded by his liege—aspiring to become a second impaler.

火の騎士、クウィラインの得物
火を象り波打った重刺剣

クウィラインは、聖戦に全てを捧げ
自らの大剣を、主君の槍に似せて作り変えた
もう一人の串刺し公となるために

Acquisition

Quest reward: Shadow Keep, Church District

• This weapon can be obtained in the Shadow Keep after giving Fire Knight Queelign the Iris of Occultation.
  • That makes this weapon mutually exclusive with the Fire Knight Queelign Spirit Ash, requiring a second Journey to get both on the same character.

Notes

• This is the only infusable Heavy Thrusting Sword with a non-unique heavy attack: the Great Épée has a sweep, the Godskin Stitcher has a double-thrust, and the Sword Lance has a slightly differnet thrust attack.
• As the description states, though the total Attack Power with the Flame Art Affinity is about on par with other Heavy Thrusting Swords the distribution is slightly different, with the Fire Attack Power making up about 70% of the total Attack Power instead of the usual 60-65%.
  • It also notably has the highest total Attack Power with the Sacred Affinity, though this is somewhat misleading since it includes three separate damage types, and has mediocre Fire Attack Power which will be harshly affected by enemy Defence.
  • This benefit is also there with the Fire Affinity, if with a much weaker benefit: the total Attack Power, though good, isn't higher than other Heavy Thrusting Swords and the distribution difference is only 55% compared to total Attack Power whereas the other weapons in its Class usually have about 50% of the total Attack Power.
• There is a bug, where using the Magic, Cold, Lightning, or Sacred Affinities with this weapon prevents the usual on-hit effect from dealing Fire damage from taking place. This means that using any of those Affinities means that the weapon won't stun Fingercreepers, won't detonate red barrels, and won't remove fully applied Frostbite from targets.
  • This also applies to the Fire Knight's Greatsword and Fire Knight's Shortsword.
• Leans towards Dexterity for Cold and Blood/Poison affinities.
