LocationCastle Morne northern ramparts

Weeping Peninsula

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Morne Lift

From Agheel Lake South, follow the southern road over Bridge of Sacrifice into the Weeping Peninsula. Watch for the ballista at the far end of the bridge.
Continue south along the main road past Castle Morne Rampart grace toward the castle on the coast. Avoid the giant archer's shots on the exposed final approach.
Enter Castle Morne, activate Castle Morne Lift grace and ride the lift into the courtyard.
Keep to the right and pass the burning mound of bodies, watching for dogs and Misbegotten. Use the doorway just beyond the mound on that side.
Continue through the room with the Claymore chest and take its rear stairs down. Cross the small yard where soldiers and Misbegotten fight, then climb the ladder on the left.
At the upper rampart, turn left onto the narrow dead-end walkway. Get past the two Misbegotten and loot Steel-Wire Torch from the corpse at its end. Leonine Misbegotten on the beach is not required.

Requires 10 Strength and eight Dexterity, and weighs three. Dexterity gives its physical damage stronger scaling than Strength. Its Fire portion improves with reinforcement and has no attribute scaling.
Firebreather is its fixed eight-FP skill. It sprays flame in front of you, giving it a broader attack than an ordinary torch jab, but the windup leaves an opening for nearby enemies.
The wire and higher Fire damage belong to this weapon. Holding it does not increase the damage of another weapon, Fire Pot or incantation.
Cannot use another Ash of War or affinity. In particular, it cannot replace Firebreather with No Skill to pass the skill input straight to your other hand.
Upgrade it with Smithing Stones to +25. Grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
The normal left-hand torch stance can provide light. It does not inherit Sentry's visibility effect or the Beast-Repellent Torch's incense effect.
A fixed corpse pickup on Castle Morne's upper battlement. The enemies guarding it do not need to drop it, and neither Edgar's quest nor the castle boss is required.
