Spirit Sword

Spirit Sword is a Shadow of the Erdtree curved sword found as a fixed pickup in the Cerulean Coast region. It combines physical and magic damage with Rancor Slash, trading Spirit Glaive’s reach for a faster curved-sword moveset.

Overview

A compact spirit-bound curved sword whose Rancor Slash adds pursuing souls to fast melee pressure.

Spirit Sword is obtained from a fixed pickup in the Cerulean Coast region. Its exact ravine or grave route should be verified before publishing turn-by-turn directions.

The blade deals physical and magic damage. Rancor Slash follows a sweeping attack with spirits that continue toward the target, helping maintain pressure after the wielder recovers.

Compared with Spirit Glaive, this weapon gives up reach for faster curved-sword handling. Its somber identity fixes both affinity and skill.
