Where to find it

Take the Stone-Sheathed Sword (or the Sword of Darkness) to the altar at Fog Rift Catacombs or the Ancient Ruins of Rauh in the Realm of Shadow. If your sword came from Fog Rift Catacombs or Ruins of Unte, use the altar at the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. If it came from the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, use Fog Rift Catacombs.

Item description & lore

Drawn from its stone scabbard at an altar. Its silver blade is formed by rays of light that cross and reflect from the roots.

Notes & tips

  • Once you turn it into this sword or the Sword of Darkness, you cannot get the Stone-Sheathed Sword again until the next playthrough. You can still swap between the two forms at their altars.
  • Light takes about 4 seconds and raises your holy damage by 20% (15% in PvP) for 60 seconds. Cast it before a fight or from an ambush.
  • It is a body buff, so it will not stack with most defensive buffs.
  • Pairs well with the Sword of Darkness’s holy negation debuff.
