Where to find

Map pending
LocationGael Tunnel

Caelid

Starting Site of Grace: Gael Tunnel

Before you go

  • Enter Gael Tunnel through its Caelid-side entrance south of Rotview Balcony.
  1. From Rotview Balcony in western Caelid, follow the cliff south until you reach the small camp with red-cloaked soldiers. The cave opening beneath the cliff is Gael Tunnel's Caelid entrance.
  2. Enter and descend around the shaft using its narrow rock ledges. Activate Gael Tunnel grace at the bottom before following the mine passage.
  3. Take the right-hand side passage into the cavern with small Land Octopuses. Follow it toward the Giant Land Octopus at the far end.
  4. Loot the corpse behind the large octopus for Cross-Naginata. It is a floor pickup, so killing that creature is only necessary if you need to make room to collect it safely.
  5. To leave on foot, return to the main mine route and descend toward the Magma Wyrm's large doors. Open the smaller door beside them to Rear Gael Tunnel Entrance. You do not need to enter the boss room.

Notes

  • With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Dexterity, with weaker Strength scaling.
  • Upgrade it with Smithing Stones. Its maximum upgrade is +25.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Your choice of skill and the whetblades you've found determine which affinities you can apply.
  • Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
  • Its normal weapon hits build up blood loss. The effect only triggers against enemies that are vulnerable to it.
  • Requires 16 Strength and 20 Dexterity and weighs 8. Dexterity is its stronger Standard attribute, and Keen develops that focus.
  • Its ordinary moveset mixes cutting attacks with thrusts. This gives it more sweeping coverage than an all-thrust spear, but Slash contacts do not receive a Physical Pierce counterhit bonus.
  • Has 50 innate Blood Loss buildup. Standard and Keen have no Arcane scaling, so Arcane does not improve that bleed until an appropriate affinity supplies Arcane scaling.
  • Occult retains its innate bleed while making Arcane important for Physical damage and buildup. Cold can combine the retained bleed with Frostbite, although Arcane does not scale Frostbite.
  • Starts with Impaling Thrust for 9 FP. Its narrow lunge gets through most of a raised guard's protection and can be replaced with another compatible Ash of War.
  • It can thrust from behind a raised shield. Attacking and blocking still share your stamina pool, and paired-spear attacks use a different moveset from its ordinary one-weapon chain.
  • The katana-like blade remains a spear for pairing. It does not pair with Uchigatana for a paired-katana moveset.
  • It is a fixed corpse pickup in Gael Tunnel. Defeating the large octopus or the Magma Wyrm is unnecessary if you can reach the body safely.
