Nidhögg the Bleeding is what a bloodstone makes of that blade: an Ashlands sword that leaves whatever it cuts bleeding well after the hit. It deals 135 slash. With 135 total damage it ranks 10th among swords, a step on the ladder rather than the top of it.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 4 black forge from:
- 1x Nidhögg: made at a black forge.
- 6x Flametal: smelted from flametal ore in a blast furnace.
- 1x Bloodstone: found in the charred fortresses of the Ashlands.

When to Use It
Late game. Flametal comes from the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step higher than the last. Every other figure on this page is for quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy sits somewhere on:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black forge (Level 4) | 135 | 200 |
|
| 2 | Black forge (Level 5) | 141 | 250 |

Properties
This sword rewards you for being hurt. Bloodstone adds 0.2% damage for every point of health you are missing, counting your health, not the target's. Being 100 health down gives 20% more damage, which is a real boost, but it is also the state in which the Ashlands kills you.
The gamble is the whole build. It asks for the opposite of the food and Rested discipline the rest of the game rewards, so it suits a player who blocks and parries well enough to fight at half health on purpose. If that is not you, the Thundering variant asks nothing of you.
Notes
- The bonus is a percentage on top of the flat 135 slash, so it scales with quality level and with the Swords skill instead of replacing them.
