Stormhawk Axe

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Fortified Manor, First Floor

Before you go

• Collect this copy before defeating Maliketh and turning Leyndell into the Ashen Capital.

1. From Avenue Balcony, go down the northwest stairs and continue toward the huge petrified dragon. Climb its wing to the upper walkway, then take the passage and stairs to West Capital Rampart grace.
2. From West Capital Rampart, go southeast down the nearby stairs. Follow the lower corridor past the Oracle Envoys and pull the lever to open the large gate below.
3. Look west toward Fortified Manor. Drop from the lower walkway to the courtyard and go through the manor's large ground-level doorway. The nearby stable roofs lead to its upper floor, which is a different entrance.
4. Enter Fortified Manor's ground-floor hall. Pass through its western rooms and doors into the adjoining courtyard where two Abductor Virgins patrol.
5. Loot the corpse on the southern side of that courtyard for Stormhawk Axe. The Abductor Virgins are hazards around the pickup, not enemies you must farm for it. Collect this copy before Maliketh changes the capital.

Mountaintops of the Giants

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Sol Main Gate

Before you go

• Reach the northern Mountaintops of the Giants.

1. From Castle Sol Main Gate, go inside and keep against the western wall. Pass the Lion Guardians carefully and find the doorway into the wall on the left.
2. Enter the slime-filled room and climb its ladder. Follow the ramparts toward the central roof, watching for the exploding skeleton and the skeletal soldiers beside the ballistae.
3. Cross the wooden bridge to the central building's roof. The ladder down toward the Sorcerer painting and shortcut is nearby.
4. At the northeastern side of the roof, use the piled objects to get over the low wall and drop onto the wooden awning. Loot its corpse for Stormhawk Axe. Commander Niall is unnecessary for this pickup.
