Where to find

LocationLoretta's arena at the end of Haligtree Town

Miquella's Haligtree

Starting Site of Grace: Haligtree Town Plaza

Before you go

  • Reach the Haligtree through the Ordina sending gate.
  1. Obtain the right Haligtree Secret Medallion half from Albus in the Village of the Albinaurics. He is disguised as a pot on the uphill path, before the bridge leading toward the Omenkiller.
  2. Obtain the left half from the tower beyond Commander Niall at Castle Sol in the northern Mountaintops. After winning, continue behind his arena, ride the lift and loot the rooftop corpse.
  3. Return to Grand Lift of Rold with both halves and switch to the secret-medallion prompt. The ordinary Rold Medallion sends you to a different destination.
  4. Take the main stairs through Hidden Path to the Haligtree and leave into Consecrated Snowfield. Continue north through the blizzard, following the road toward Inner Consecrated Snowfield, then on to Ordina, Liturgical Town.
  5. Activate Ordina's grace and find the evergaol seal toward the back of town. Enter it to light the four statues. Invisible assassins patrol the streets and Albinauric archers fire from the rooftops.
  6. From the evergaol seal, go left down the stairs and left again to light the street-level statue. Head toward the second stairs leading toward the town grace, but take the path around the building on their right instead of going down.
  7. Climb the ladder around that building and the next ladder to its rooftop statue. After lighting it, drop from the eastern side onto the red roof, cross the connected rooftops and climb the next pair of ladders to another statue.
  8. Go down those ladders and return to the evergaol courtyard. Pass the right side of the building, drop to the snowy ground and head west around the next building to the last pair of ladders. Light the fourth statue to lift the seal.
  9. Back in ordinary Ordina, climb the long northern staircase and use the sending gate at its top. Activate Haligtree Canopy when you arrive.
  10. From Haligtree Canopy, head east along the branch, climb over the pink mushroom near the envoy and turn south at the junction. Continue past the patrolling envoy to the next junction, then follow its northeastern branch to the end and look southeast for the branch below.
  11. Drop onto that branch. The larger envoy is to the east; return west toward your landing and look south for the mushroom cluster with a corpse. Descend onto the mushrooms, keeping clear of the edges and using them as cover from bubbles.
  12. Go north along the branch past the envoys to the ant patrol. Draw the ants onto a wider section before fighting, then turn back south and take the first broad branch east-southeast.
  13. At its next junction, turn southwest uphill. Just beyond the smaller branch on your left, drop south onto the broad branch below. At the fork, use the southern branch, then turn right onto the thin branch before its far tip.
  14. Follow the thin branch over the next branch, turn northeast onto that one and climb as it curves north. Pass the envoy and turn southeast toward the next envoy, then return west to the large junction.
  15. Take the northwestern mushroom ledge with the Preserving Boluses corpse. Drop southwest onto the mushrooms below, then southwest again onto the main branch.
  16. Head north-northeast. Beyond the branch sticking vertically up on your left, use the mushroom patch on the right to drop onto the branch beneath. Follow it to the larger branch, turn left and continue north-northeast, then northwest at the junction toward the huge envoy firing bubbles.
  17. Near that huge envoy, drop onto the broad branch below. Follow it north through the rot flowers to the trunk. The stone platform on its left has a ladder; descend it and take the stairs to Haligtree Town grace.
  18. From Haligtree Town, go northwest down the stairs past the Misbegotten. Continue toward the building below, watching for the enemies waiting beside the doorway and under its stairs.
  19. Inside, go down the stairs to the lower room. From its northern side, jump north-northeast to the next platform, then turn left across the wooden bridge. Go through the building and out its window.
  20. Cross the pavilion, keeping clear of the large Misbegotten, and enter the building southwest. Leave southwest across the wooden bridge to Haligtree Town Plaza grace.
  21. Go south from the plaza and jump to the roof. Cross to its northeastern side, drop onto the branch and continue toward the ants. Turn back toward the building beside that branch and enter it.
  22. Leave southeast and watch for Spiritcaller Snails around the outside. Their Crystalian summons disappear when their snail dies. Continue southeast and jump to the next roofs, then use the ladders at their eastern side to reach the lower walkway.
  23. Enter the building southeast of the lower ladder and pass the two Misbegotten. Across the bridges ahead, two battlemages guard the way; use the buildings for cover and draw them apart.
  24. Cross east to the next building. Its northwestern bridge leads to a lift back up to Haligtree Town. Ride it once to open the shortcut, then return down for a much shorter boss run.
  25. From the lower lift landing, cross southeast, then turn left onto the northeastern bridge to Loretta's arena. Defeat Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree. The spirit named Royal Knight Loretta in Caria Manor does not award this weapon.
  26. Receive Loretta's War Sickle directly after the Haligtree Loretta fight. Loretta's Mastery is the separate spell awarded at the same time.

Notes

  • Requires 20 Strength, 15 Dexterity and 20 Intelligence, weighs ten and has a critical rating of 100. Ordinary attacks deal both Physical and Magic damage.
  • Dexterity gives the strongest Physical scaling, followed by Strength. Intelligence improves the Magic part of its ordinary attacks; the weapon's total damage combines both parts rather than treating it as a pure Intelligence weapon.
  • Its light attacks use the quicker, upward-sweeping halberd pattern also found on Guardian's Swordspear. It is still a halberd, so pairing it with a weapon from another category does not give the usual paired halberd attacks.
  • Loretta's Slash costs 14 FP and performs a rising slash followed by a descending sweep. The two contacts can both hit if you begin close enough, while an enemy moving away can escape the second.
  • This is the War Sickle's fixed version of the skill. It combines weapon contact and added Magic damage, so the ordinary transferable skill on a Magic-affinity weapon is not a safe direct comparison.
  • The brief magical coating belongs to the skill animation. It does not leave a lasting enchantment on the halberd after the two attacks finish.
  • Upgrades with Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Its skill and affinity cannot be changed, and grease or a weapon enchantment cannot be applied.
  • Has no innate Blood Loss or Frost buildup. Its curved blade, blue glow and resemblance to Loretta's equipment do not supply those effects.
  • Defeating Loretta awards one copy in this journey. The champion armor shop is a separate unlock; buying Royal Knight armor is not required for the weapon.
  • Shard of Alexander improves Loretta’s Slash. Magic bonuses help its Magic portions, while Godfrey Icon does not apply because the two-part attack cannot be charged.
  • The skill includes ordinary weapon attack power as well as added Magic damage. Dexterity and Strength therefore remain relevant to its weapon contacts; it is not safely described as a purely Intelligence-powered attack.
