LocationCastle Sol boss arena

Mountaintops of the Giants

Starting Site of Grace: Church of the Eclipse

Before you go

  • Reach Castle Sol.
  1. Use the ordinary Rold Medallion at the Grand Lift of Rold to reach the Mountaintops. From Zamor Ruins, follow the eastern path around north through the mountain gap and across the narrow stone crossing, using its low cover against the Golem's arrows.
  2. Continue to Ancient Snow Valley Ruins and follow the valley north. Turn right along the frozen river, then climb the left-side path by the cliffs to Freezing Lake grace.
  3. From Freezing Lake, follow the cliff uphill around to the west rather than crossing the lake. Pass through the graveyard toward Snow Valley Ruins Overlook and continue west over the high ground.
  4. At the larger graveyard, take the descent north toward the walking mausoleum and Castle Sol. Activate Castle Sol Main Gate grace outside the entrance, away from the mausoleum's feet.
  5. Enter the courtyard and pass the two Lion Guardians to the stairs at the back. Climb both flights, cross the upper area with dogs and a hawk, then enter the doorway at the far end.
  6. Climb the stairs through the appearing soldiers. Pass the knight at the top and enter the building on the left for Church of the Eclipse grace.
  7. Go through the church and out its side door into the building opposite. Watch for enemies hanging from the ceiling that scream to call more soldiers.
  8. Continue upstairs and out toward the boss fog. Pull the lift lever on the left to open the shortcut before attempting the fight.
  9. Defeat Commander Niall and his two Banished Knight summons. Commander O'Neil in Caelid is a different boss and does not unlock these Castle Sol rewards.
  10. Veteran's Prosthesis is awarded as Niall dies. The medallion half is a separate rooftop pickup beyond the arena, and his armor is sold separately by Enia.

Notes

  • A paired fist weapon that deals Physical and Lightning damage. Two-handing it brings out the second fist, so a second copy is not needed for its paired attacks.
  • Requires 15 Strength and 12 Dexterity. Physical damage has stronger Strength scaling than Dexterity scaling, while the Lightning damage scales with Dexterity. Faith does not improve its Lightning damage.
  • Upgrade it with Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Storm Kick is fixed, and it cannot use another Ash of War or a different affinity. Grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
  • Storm Kick drives the blade into the ground and releases wind around you. Follow with a strong attack to leap up and plunge down with Lightning. The opening costs 10 FP, and the follow-up costs another 15 FP.
  • The skill needs close contact to land all its parts. The initial thrust, surrounding wind, descending strike and Lightning burst are separate hits, so its full damage should not be treated as one guaranteed projectile hit.
  • Shard of Alexander boosts the skill. Storm bonuses such as Enraged Divine Beast also apply, while Lightning damage bonuses improve its Lightning portions rather than the Physical wind damage.
  • Despite the name Storm Kick, this is performed with the fist weapon. It does not gain the kicking-attack bonus from Shattered Stone Talisman or Divine Bird Warrior Greaves.
  • Its critical rating is 100. It has no innate Blood Loss or Frostbite; the Lightning damage and paired attacks do not add either status by themselves.
  • This is Commander Niall's reward in Castle Sol. Commander O'Neil in Caelid and the purchasable Veteran armor are separate rewards.
