Storied sword and treasure of Caria Manor. One of the legendary armaments.

Astrologers, who preceded the sorcerers, established themselves in mountaintops that nearly touched the sky, and considered the Fire Giants their neighbors.

In a locked room at Caria Manor, Liurnia of the Lakes, which the Tarnished can jump into from above on the walkways where the Raya Lucaria Soldier puppets appear.

More specifically, starting from the Manor Lower Level Site of Grace walk out onto the stone walkways and take a left when they path splits in two. Follow the path as it turn to the right and look to the left when halfway across the last walkway. Search for a nearby roof to jump onto and then walk forward to find another roof further down. In one of the corners should be a ladder leading down into the inside of a tower with a chest containing the sword as well as a door leading outside.

Notes Notes

  • This weapon possess one of the strongest skills in the game, Night-and-Flame Stance. While holding the stance, the user is able to perform either a miniature Comet Azur with a light attack or a flame wave resembling the skill Flame of the Redmanes with a heavy attack.
    • Since both Magic damage and Fire damage have specialized ways to increase their damage (their respective Shrouding Cracked Tear, as well as Terra Magica for Magic and Flame, Grant Me Strength for Fire) it may be best to think ahead and try to specialize if you are about to challenge a touch foe or boss.
  • One of the main weaknesses of this weapon is the relative lack of other equipment that scales well with both Intelligence and Faith, which pretty much only the Golden Order Seal being a strong option. The Prince of Death's Staff (and the much harder to get Gelmir Glintstone Staff) has rather subpar returns for Sorcery Scaling when the two stats are below 60, making it only relatively good with Death Sorceries and rather bad with everything else.
  • It's possible to invest primarily in only one of the two stats, but it's ill-advised to do this beyond the early and early-to-mid sections of the game. This is because, while doing so lets you potentially hyper-specialize in one of the attacks and more easily overcome flat defences early on, it will also lock you into one element, and both the sword's own damage and the skill's damage doesn't scales all that well past 54 in the associated stat.
  • Just meeting the sword's requirements means that you will have the Intelligence to cast the Magic-boosting Terra Magica and the Fire-boosting Flame, Grant Me Strength, and just 1 more points in Faith will let the wielder cast the Golden Vow spell (which also boosts the skill since it's based of weapon Attack Power).
