In the ruthless, plague-ridden world of The Blood of Dawnwalker, true power is forged through blood, grit, and unwavering perseverance. While claws and witchcraft define the nocturnal predator, nothing commands respect quite like a masterwork blade. Among the arsenal available to players in Vale Sangora, the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai stands tall as one of the most coveted legendary weapons in the game. Unlocking this devastating instrument of holy retribution requires undertaking the intricate “Forge it Anew” questline, demanding that players solve cathedral riddles, hunt down scattered blade shards, and conquer punishing subterranean trials.
Phase One: Unraveling the Cathedral Riddle and Claiming the Broken Blade
The journey toward wielding St. Mihai’s legacy begins as a direct continuation of Anker’s narrative arc, specifically following the threads of the Echoes of Silenced Bells quest to locate Albertus. Once the “Monk and the Saint” quest triggers, players must head into the heart of the main city and correctly answer a series of historical queries: select The Sorrowful first, followed by Sparta Plaza, For his redemption (the top option), and finally Never set foot in it. While incorrect answers merely prompt a retry, nailing them on the first pass sets the proper tone.
With the riddles solved, players must return to the cathedral under the shroud of nighttime. Interacting with a hidden entrance reveals a cavern network infested with aggressive Cobalts. Clearing these subterranean foes and pushing aside a heavy boulder opens the path back to the main hall. From here, players must utilize spatial awareness and Dawn Shift teleportation to scale the towering scaffolding inside the church, dropping into the central chamber to inspect the altar and the striking portrait of St. Mihai.
Equipped with this knowledge, players descend into the cathedral catacombs. Navigating the dark, jump-scare-laden corridors leads directly to a climactic showdown against St. Mihai, Patron Saint of the Cathedral. Though possessing aggressive attack patterns, breaking his guard and finishing the fight grants the player the Broken Sword of St. Mihai. Interacting with the shattered chains nearby officially closes out the monk’s questline, paving the way for the true forging process.
Phase Two: Tracking Down the Three Blade Shards
A broken sword is little more than a paperweight; restoring it requires combing Vale Sangora for three missing blade fragments:
The Northern Shard: Journey to the far northeastern sector of the map. Utilizing your special focus view to track golden pathways through a Cobalt-filled cave system will lead directly to the first shard.
The Western Shard: Head toward the Rock Falls region on the western side of the map. Entering the designated cave and dealing with a localized mini-boss encounter (“Munch Munch”) allows players to loot the creature’s nest and secure the second piece.
The Southern/Eastern Shard: Located within a guarded cave system south of the main city, players must fight through opposition to claim the final fragment from a heavily guarded chest.
Phase Three: Restoring and Imbuing the Blade
With all three blade shards and the broken hilt in hand, retrace your steps to the blacksmith in the northeastern village—the same artisan who previously aided in crafting the Arbiter armor. Handing over the components results in the immediate creation of the Restored Sword of St. Mihai.
However, the journey does not end there. To unlock its true potential as an Imbued sword, players must venture further north to a designated cavern indicated by the blacksmith. Stepping inside triggers Echoing Anger, a brutal combat trial swarming with hostile dogs and aggressive foes. Surviving this grueling gauntlet of parries, blocks, and precise strikes unlocks the final upgrade, officially adding the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai to your inventory. For those willing to brave the darkest corners of the map, the resulting weapon is more than worth the sweat and blood.
