How to Craft

Crafted at a level 4 Black Forge from:

1x Nord Axe: Hardened from Cast: Nord Axe and Liquid Frost in a Frost Foundry.
20x Bloodgold: Smelted from Petrified Tissue in a Blast Furnace.
1x Frostfire Essence: Dropped by Fallen Warriors, which you call up at a Memorial Site with three Memorial Coal.

When to Use It

End game. You need Fader dead before you can progress through the Deep North.

Upgrades

You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge. Each step needs the station one level higher than the last, and costs the per-level amount and then twice that. Quality 4, at four times the per-level amount, needs a level 7 Black Forge, above its current maximum of 6, so that row is out of reach.

Properties

It has a three-hit combo, and the last hit does double damage. The secondary attack is a slow overhead chop that also reaches tree stumps too low for a normal swing.

It blocks with 66 armour and parries at 2x.

You move 5% slower while it is in your hands.

At quality 1 it deals 144 slash, 12 fire and 88 frost, 244 in total. That is 103% more than Jotun Bane, which deals 120 at quality 1 and is the hardest-hitting weapon of its kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 10 slash, 3 fire and 3 frost, so at quality 3 it reaches 164 slash, 18 fire and 94 frost, 276 in total.

A primary attack costs 16 stamina and the secondary costs 28. Its hits knock back with a force of 60.

It weighs 2 and has 400 durability, or 500 at quality 3.

It blocks with 66 armour, or 132 on a well-timed parry at 2x. Blocking a melee attack knocks the attacker back with a block force of up to 20.
