The Shroud Vessel's Greatsword is the reward for defeating the boss Vorgoth at the end of the story. The dropped copy splits its damage between cutting and the Shroud. Its upgrades add Shroud damage twice, crit chance twice and cutting damage once. It suits a Warrior who swings big two-handed blades and relies on crits. Titan Edge raises greatsword damage, and Relentless builds on each crit. The blade is tainted, and fading memories still echo inside it. The man those memories haunted is gone, freed along with Embervale. The fight takes place at Mother Flame's Domicile in the Cinder's Cradle. The boss Vorgoth, the Wanderer's Vessel drops the sword when he falls. The Ancient Researcher can also craft a Legendary copy with two Vorgoth's Bound Essence. That crafted copy carries the same upgrades as the Guard Of The North Sword, his old blade.

Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. Two-handed weapons deal one and a half times as much as one-handed ones. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level Common Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary
1 15 16 19 24 26
10 35 39 44 56 62
20 58 64 72 92 102
30 80 88 100 128 141
40 103 113 128 164 181
50 125 138 157 200 220

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. This weapon takes up to five upgrades. Every upgrade of one copy costs the same number of Runes. On a legendary copy, the fourth and fifth upgrades also take Legendary Runes. The costs are for a level 46 copy. Other copies cost more or less by level, as the second table shows.

Upgrade Unlocks At Enhancement Effect Runes Legendary Runes NPC
1 Level +1 Lightning Damage Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage 750 - Blacksmith
2 Level +2 Critical Strike Chance +6% Critical Strike Chance 750 - Blacksmith
3 Level +3 Critical Strike Damage +22% Critical Strike Damage 750 - Blacksmith
4 Level +4 Lightning Damage Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage 750 94 Blacksmith
5 Level +5 Critical Strike Chance +6% Critical Strike Chance 750 94 Blacksmith
Total - - - 3,750 188 Blacksmith

The rune cost depends only on the copy's level. This table shows the price of one upgrade and of every upgrade the copy can take, level by level.

Lore

The blade is tainted, and faded memories still echo inside it. The man those memories once haunted is gone. Vorgoth, Guard of the North, took the Elixir from a pale wanderer and broke the Ancient Gate. The Wanderer told him to douse the Mother Flame so that he could become whole. In the last fight his body becomes the Wanderer's vessel. His defeat frees Embervale, and it frees Vorgoth boss too.
