How to Craft

Crafted at a level 4 Black Forge from:

1x Nord Greatsword: Hardened from Cast: Nord Greatsword 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 wide three-hit combo, and the last hit does double damage. The slower secondary attack is a thrust for three times the damage.

It blocks with 76 armour and parries at 2x.

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

At quality 1 it deals 186 slash, 12 fire and 88 frost, 286 in total. That is 59% more than Primal Slayer and Scourging Slayer, which deal 180 at quality 1 and are the joint hardest-hitting weapons of their kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 10 slash, 3 fire and 3 frost, so at quality 3 it reaches 206 slash, 18 fire and 94 frost, 318 in total.

A primary attack costs 20 stamina and the secondary costs 40. Its hits knock back with a force of 55.

It weighs 4 and has 400 durability, or 500 at quality 3.

It blocks with 76 armour, or 152 on a well-timed parry at 2x. Blocking a melee attack knocks the attacker back with a block force of up to 50.
