In-game description

Storied sword of House Marais, the family of executioners who presided over the Shaded Castle.

One of the legendary armaments.

Elemer of the Briar, the Bell Bearing Hunter, snatched the sword from the site of his looming execution, and furnished it with battle skills from his home of Eochaid.

Skill

Marais Executioner's Sword, grants Eochaid's Dancing Blade (Marais Executioner's Sword)

Infuse the sword with energy, then fling it forwards in a corkscrew attack. The sword continuously deals damage while violently spinning. Charge the attack to increase reach and duration of the spin.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationElemer's arena in The Shaded Castle

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Shaded Castle Inner Gate

Before you go

  • Reach The Shaded Castle in northern Altus Plateau.
  1. From Erdtree-Gazing Hill in Altus Plateau, ride east down into the valley, then follow it north between the cliffs. Stay on the lower ground rather than climbing toward Mt. Gelmir's campsites.
  2. Continue through the narrow gap until the Shaded Castle appears in its poison swamp. Use the rocks beside the broken southern wall to climb inside, then follow the wall right to Shaded Castle Ramparts grace.
  3. Drop into the lower courtyard and head toward the center, keeping out of the poison where you can. At the next open area, climb the ladder on the raised platform to the right, beside a Wraith Caller.
  4. At the top, turn left toward the opening into the next courtyard. Cross using the roofs and raised stonework where possible, then enter the building opposite for Shaded Castle Inner Gate grace.
  5. Continue forward and climb the ladder on the left. Deal with the dogs at the top and enter the room on the right, watching for the Page with a crossbow among the other enemies.
  6. Leave by the far exit and follow the upper walkway across the bridge past the Cleanrot Knight. Continue through the next building and up its stairs to another knight and two dogs.
  7. Kick down the shortcut ladder on the southern edge of this upper platform. Then enter the tower and ride its lift up.
  8. Cross the statue-lined walkway and defeat Elemer of the Briar beyond the fog. The Bell Bearing Hunters that appear at shops are separate encounters and do not unlock this armor.
  9. The victory awards Marais Executioner's Sword and Briar Greatshield directly. Buying the armor from Enia afterward is optional and does not unlock the sword.

Notes

  • Requires 24 Strength, 14 Dexterity and 23 Arcane, and weighs 11.5. Strength is its main Physical damage attribute, Arcane improves both Physical and Magic damage, and Dexterity contributes only a little Physical damage.
  • Its Magic damage does not scale with Intelligence. It also has no innate bleed, despite its Arcane requirement and executioner theme.
  • Eochaid's Dancing Blade costs 15 FP. It sends the sword forward as a spinning attack, then returns it for a finishing strike.
  • Hold the skill input to charge it for greater reach and a longer spinning attack. A normal or charged use still costs 15 FP, but the longer version needs a larger safe opening.
  • The skill uses weapon attack power, so the attributes powering the actual sword also power the attack. It is not an independent Intelligence-based magic projectile.
  • Shard of Alexander improves the skill and Godfrey Icon improves the charged version. Axe Talisman improves ordinary charged heavy attacks instead of this charged skill.
  • Repeated spinning contacts can build Winged Sword Insignia, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent's Prosthesis and Thorny Cracked Tear effects. An enemy moving out of the spin cuts off those hits and their benefit.
  • The two Winged Sword Insignia variants cannot be equipped together. Millicent's Prosthesis can work with either, while Thorny Cracked Tear is a separate Physick effect.
  • Regalia of Eochaid has the same named skill on a lighter straight sword. Their different weapon attack power and requirements still matter; sharing a skill name does not give the same damage on every build.
  • Uses Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Its skill and affinity are fixed, and grease or weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
  • It is a legendary armament and drops from Elemer in the Shaded Castle. The Bell Bearing Hunters at merchant shacks do not award this sword.
