Blood Of Dawnwalker - SECRET OP LEGENDARY WEAPON EARLY / How To Get Durandal Best Early Sword Guide
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video presents a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the legendary sword known as Durandal, widely considered one of the best weapons in the game available immediately after completing the prologue. Although the weapon has a level requirement of 11 for equipping, players can acquire it as early as level 5 by following a specific path that leads to a broken bridge and a side quest called "The Cursed Chasm." This quest involves retrieving a large treasure dropped from a character named Scander into a dangerous chasm below the bridge. The presenter emphasizes that while the enemies in this area, such as wolves and demon witches, are extremely difficult for low-level characters, successfully grabbing the sword early provides a massive advantage before the player reaches the level needed to use it.
To successfully retrieve the item without dying, the guide outlines a precise method that must be performed at night, as the quest requires specific time segments to complete. The player is instructed to use their claw ride ability to descend slightly and plane shift onto the walls, allowing them to walk along the side of the chasm to reach a small ledge where the loot is located. Once in focus mode, the exact position of the sword becomes visible, but players must act quickly because the wolves are close by. The presenter demonstrates using a vampiric jump or teleporter ability to lunge across the gap and grab the sword instantly before retreating, noting that running directly to the right upon grabbing the item is crucial to avoid being trapped in a dead-end path where the demon witches spawn.
Upon completing the retrieval, the quest concludes and rewards the player with two segments of their night or day cycle bar, depending on the current time setting. The sword itself offers exceptional stats, including +11.2 damage against supernatural enemies, a 21% reduction in attack stamina cost, a 21% reduction in dodge stamina cost, and a significant decrease to the cooldown of the sword master ability. While some online sources suggest waiting until a higher level to attempt this due to enemy difficulty, the video argues that it is entirely possible to get the weapon early for preparation purposes. Players can choose to grab it immediately at low levels or return later when they are stronger, but knowing the location and method ensures they have access to one of the game's most powerful weapons from the very start.

So guys, I am back with yet another uh
video. And today guys, I bring you a
guide for the blood of the dome walker
on how you get one of the best weapons
in the entire game super super early.
Literally, guys, as you finish the
prologue. Yes, you heard that right.
Let's go. How's it going, guys? My name
is DPJ and if you do enjoy the video,
leaving a like really helps out. And if
you like what you see and want to see
more, be sure to subscribe. Okay, so the
weapon right here is called the uh
Derandle. This is a weapon. It requires
you to be a level 11 before you can
equip this thing. Uh but you're going to
get there relatively quickly because if
you look right here, I've literally,
guys, just come out the prologue and I'm
already at level five. I've just been
released from my village. What I
actually did was I was just following
these shrines and trying to unlock them
because these are obviously your fast
travels. And I came this way. I kept
coming this way. come to the shrine
which you have to restore. There's the
objective for that. But beyond that
guys, come around this path and there's
this shrine right here. Here guys, there
is a broken bridge. Now, if you pin this
on your map and follow this path around
here, as you see me on the screen now,
when you actually well, when you first
get here, guys, you'll pick up a a side
quest. Now, this side quest is called
the cursed chasm. So, if you pick up
this note, you can see it from your
inventory as well.
Um, it's basically guys to do with
treasure
and it belonged to a dude called Scander
and this is some big boy treasure. Now
the thing is is obviously this bridge is
broke and the loot the treasures dropped
down below. Now if you stand on the edge
of this and if you use your focus you
can see the loot is down there below.
Now, you can go around as you'll see me
do on screen now,
but what I will say is the enemies down
here are super super tough, especially
if you're a low level. I died four or
five times trying to get past a couple
of wolves which are basically one
tapping me. And the thing is once you
actually grab this sword from the loot,
you spawn in this sort of like I don't
know these demon witches and they one
tap you. Now you can come back here at a
level 11 if you wanted to because you
won't be able to use it until then or if
you just want to grab it prep as I've
done. There is a way of getting it. Now
it requires you to be at night time. You
need to be at night time to do this. And
I'll also say as well, if I didn't
mention this already, once you grab this
sword and finish this quest, it will
give you two segments in regards to
night and daytime. So, it will fill up
two segments of your bar wherever you
are. So, do keep that in mind. But, it's
definitely worth it because it's one of
the best weapons early on in the game.
So, what you want to do, guys, to
actually get this again, make sure it's
night time. You want to come back to
that broken bridge where you initially
picked up the quest. Then what you want
to do guys is you want to use your claw
ride to come down slightly until you can
plane shift and walk on the wall. Once
you can do this guys, walk slightly left
and then come down a bit further. You'll
land on sort of like a little ledge
which is where you want to be.
Now, if you use your focus mode now from
here, you can see exactly where that
loot is, as you'll see me doing on
screen now. Now, the wolves down here
are relatively close, so you have to be
quick in grabbing it. Now, I sort of use
my like vampiric jump. So, like my
teleporter, and I even still slightly
slow trying to grab it, which is just I
thought I was going to die. I really
did, but I didn't. So, yeah.
As you can see, I lunge across. I grab
everything from here. And then what I
what you'll notice again, those witches
will spawn in here, guys. What you want
to do is you want to run right. Don't
run left because it's like a a block
path. You want to run right. You can see
I got bit once and I almost died. And if
you keep running this way, you'll see
you'll get the quest has ended.
your cursed uh chasm. It'll fill up two
bars of your your time segments or your
night and day, whatever you're on, but
you should be good. Just keep running
right until you see that echo health bar
vanishes off your screen. When this
happens, guys, you are free here, guys.
Just use your teleporter if you can to
get out of here cuz that's what you want
to be doing. Again, it's going to be
nighttime anyway, so just use it to
climb up. I I failed miserably trying to
do this initially and then I just kept
falling back down. But I did eventually
get back up when I got the hang of
things. And then guys, I can say I've
got one of the best weapons in the game
super super early on. And again, I'm
only a level five. Um so I can't use
this as of yet, but I've read online
this is one of the best weapons in the
entire game. Uh and a lot of people are
saying you need to come here at a
stronger level because these enemies are
so hard-hitting, but nope. This is why
you get it super super early. So, you
can either prep and come and get it
right off the bat or come back at a
higher level. That's completely up to
you. But at least now you know where
[music] this weapon can indeed be found.
And again, it's called the um Drandle
and it's got a a weapon art. It does I
don't know if these these uh roles are
random. I'm not too sure. Uh but it'll
give you a plus 11.2 damage against
supernatural enemies. Um a 21% attack
stamina or minus 21% attack stamina
cost. Nice. minus 21% uh dodge stamina
cost. Incredible. And a a minus seven
sword master ability coold down which is
a very very good too. So yeah, but there
we have it guys. I hope the video indeed
helped you out. If it did, leaving a
like really helps me out. If you like
what you see and want to see more, be
sure to subscribe. And hopefully guys, I
will see you on that next
one.
