A talisman adorned with red feathers, once used in ancient death rituals.

Raises attack power when HP is low.

The heart sings when one draws close to death, and a glorious end awaits those who cling so tenaciously to life.

Deathbird northeast of Scenic Isle

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Scenic Isle

Before you go

• Visit at night.

1. From Liurnia Lake Shore, ride north through southern Liurnia's shallow lake toward the raised island west of the telescope gazebo. Activate Scenic Isle grace and pass time until night.
2. Ride northeast toward the fallen stone ruin near the lake's edge.
3. Approach the ruin at night to trigger the Deathbird. If it does not appear, rest until night again and return.
4. Defeat this Deathbird to receive Red-Feathered Branchsword. The Deathbird near Warmaster's Shack drops the blue defensive version instead.

Notes

• Raises attack power by 20% when HP is at 20% of its maximum or lower. The attack-power bonus is also 20% against other players.
• This depends on your current HP rather than a recent injury. Healing above the threshold removes the effect instead of leaving a timed attack buff behind.
• It does not reduce incoming damage or prevent a fatal hit. Blue-Feathered Branchsword can provide its separate low-HP protection, but the remaining health bar is still small.
• The threshold includes exactly 20% of maximum HP. At 2,000 maximum HP, 400 HP qualifies and 401 does not. Changing maximum HP also changes that cutoff.
• It can benefit eligible weapons, damaging spells and skills. It is not restricted to swords despite its name.
• The Deathbird northeast of Scenic Isle drops it at night. The Deathbird near Warmaster's Shack drops the blue defensive talisman instead.
• Its damage bonus can combine with Blue-Feathered Branchsword's separate low-HP protection, but neither prevents a lethal hit. Healing above the threshold immediately ends this attack bonus.
