Where to find

Map pending
LocationEarly watchtower in Castle Ensis

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Front

Before you go

  • To enter the Realm of Shadow, defeat Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, then touch the withered arm in Mohg's arena at Mohgwyn Palace.
  • Access the Realm of Shadow.
  1. From Castle Front, cross the northeastern bridge toward Castle Ensis. Pass or defeat the Troll Knight at the far end, then climb the large stairs on the left.
  2. Follow the path left at the top. Soldiers and dogs wait around the fires and stairway, so draw them out before climbing farther.
  3. Take the stairway on the left beside the first campfire, then climb the ladder in the small watchtower. Open the chest at the top for Milady.
  4. This is the early tower near the entrance. The separate tower reached by dropping from Castle-Lord's Chamber contains Wing Stance instead.

Notes

  • Requires 12 Strength and 17 Dexterity and weighs 6.5. With Standard affinity, Physical damage scales more strongly with Dexterity than Strength.
  • This is a Light Greatsword, a separate class from ordinary Greatswords. Its quicker combinations and paired heavy-attack hits are part of that moveset.
  • The heavy-attack combinations can land more than one hit. Each hit must connect to contribute damage or status buildup, so do not treat a two-hit animation as a guaranteed double hit.
  • It has no innate blood loss or Frostbite and has a critical rating of 100. Add an appropriate affinity or compatible weapon buff if you want status buildup.
  • Impaling Thrust is its starting skill and costs 9 FP. Wing Stance is a separate Ash found later in Castle Ensis, rather than the skill already fitted to the tower pickup.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Keen emphasizes Dexterity, Heavy emphasizes Strength, and other affinities can change its elemental damage and scaling.
  • Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs. Elemental and status affinities usually remove that option.
  • Upgrade it with Smithing Stones to +25. The early tower chest can be reached before the checkpoint gate detour or Rellana.
