I was five heartbeats from a respawn, watching a glint half-buried under shattered stone. You can feel the map tilt the moment you realize this is the prize everyone else missed. The blade sang like a trapped thundercloud as I reached for it.
How to obtain all Legendary Swords in The Blood of Dawnwalker
In plain sight, veteran players still leave rare weapons strewn across landscapes like lost receipts from a road trip.
I’ll walk you through each sword—where it hides, what costs you must pay, and the exact turning points that separate a lucky drop from a guaranteed haul. You’re playing on platforms that matter: Steam, PlayStation, Xbox—so apply the same route regardless of your controller.

How do I get Durandal in The Blood of Dawnwalker?
Durandal is the one that will force you to raise your level and your patience.
Start at the Coward’s Path Shrine waypoint on the left side of the map and accept the The Cursed Chasm side quest. From that vantage point you’ll use Focus Mode to spot debris down below—one glint is the Durandal. The drop is baited: enemies patrol the pit and the encounter scales hard. If you’re underleveled, you won’t reach the prize; grind a few side missions, tune your gear at the Uriash Hermit Blacksmith, and return hungry.
Pro tip: clear the patrols first, then drop into stealth for the debris sweep. If you want to speed things up, use consumables that boost stamina and resistance—those small margins win fights that look impossible on paper.
How do I craft the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai?
Real-world: a patchwork restoration takes time and the right shop.
This is the one you get by repairing a broken heirloom. Complete A Monk and a Saint to secure the broken Silver Sword, then finish Forge it Anew to collect three shards. Take those shards to the Uriash Hermit Blacksmith—he will craft the restored Silver Sword and then convert it into the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai. No RNG here; follow the quest chain and the sword is yours.
If you’re trading on community forums or checking marketplace prices on Steam, remember that repaired weapons sometimes fetch less than pristine drops—decide whether you want the sword as a tool or a trophy.
Where can I buy The Purge?
Streetwise players keep their wallets ready for specific vendors.
The Purge is a straight purchase from the Silver Trader in Svartrau City. The price: 3750 Denaril (≈ €75). That’s a high-ticket item; if you want it without grinding every hour, prioritize high-value quests and sell surplus loot. If you’re on console, watch seasonal updates on PlayStation and Xbox storefronts for bundles that might ease the grind.
Final tactical notes
Observation: players who hoard resources usually win late-game auctions at the cost of early comforts.
The three swords serve different roles. Durandal demands risk and level; St. Mihai is patience and quest-following; The Purge asks you to budget. Use Focus Mode, check vendor inventories often, and tag side-quests on your map so they don’t slip through. Finding these swords is a scavenger hunt that smells like old coin and wet parchment.
