Where to find

Map pending
LocationCliff northwest of Ordina

Consecrated Snowfield

Starting Site of Grace: Ordina, Liturgical Town

  1. Obtain the right Haligtree Secret Medallion half from Albus in Village of the Albinaurics, beneath southwestern Liurnia's plateau. Follow the village path uphill past the perfumer, reveal the large pot before the bridge and speak to Albus. Stop attacking once he appears.
  2. Obtain the left half from the rooftop beyond Commander Niall in Castle Sol. After defeating Niall, go through the exit behind his arena, ride the tower lift and collect the half beside the seated spirit. It is a separate pickup from his direct weapon reward.
  3. Return to the Grand Lift of Rold and switch the action to Hoist secret medallion. Follow Hidden Path to the Haligtree through to the snowy exit. The ordinary Rold Medallion goes to the other part of the Mountaintops.
  4. Activate Consecrated Snowfield grace near the exit. For Inner Consecrated Snowfield, continue north through the blizzard until the open ground becomes clearer; keep the grace as a safe return point.
  5. Continue north to Ordina, Liturgical Town and activate its grace outside the town. Stay outside its evergaol and go around the northwest side toward the cliff.
  6. Defeat the Rotten Duelist facing the cliff edge for Rotten Duelist Greaves and Rotten Greataxe. This is a different enemy from the one in the southern graveyard.

Notes

  • Requires 30 Strength and 10 Dexterity, and weighs 20. Despite its size, Standard favors Dexterity over Strength. Keen keeps that Dexterity focus, Heavy moves the physical scaling to Strength, and Occult makes Arcane the main physical scaling attribute.
  • Causes 65 Scarlet Rot buildup on its normal affinity. The buildup remains 65 across its affinities and upgrades, and Arcane does not increase it, even after adding Arcane scaling.
  • Cold, Poison and Blood affinities can add a second ailment alongside the rot. Arcane can improve added poison or bleed when the affinity supplies Arcane scaling; that does not increase the separate rot buildup.
  • Upgrade with Smithing Stones to +25. Can use compatible Ashes of War. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
  • Rot must fill a target's resistance bar before damage over time begins. More rot hits do not make an already active rot effect stronger, and immune enemies will not become vulnerable through persistence.
  • Its critical rating is 100. The matching Rotten Duelist clothing has no hidden bonus to the weapon's damage or rot buildup.
  • Endure is its starting skill and costs 9 FP. It briefly resists interruption and reduces incoming hit damage by 45% against enemies or 40% against players. It does not make you invulnerable or stop status buildup.
  • On Keen, some independent projectile skills get a slightly smaller Dexterity-scaling contribution than on ordinary Keen weapons. This is separate from its melee scaling and does not affect every skill equally.
  • This is a Colossal Weapon that deals Standard physical damage, rather than a Strike-damage great hammer or a weapon in the ordinary Greataxe category.
  • The Duelist northwest of Ordina drops it with the greaves. You do not need to enter Ordina's evergaol, defeat its archers or open the way into the Haligtree for this reward.
