2. After speaking with Forge, inspect the weapon rack to her right for Sanguine Reach.

Using this weapon

Test the sweep and recovery in safety before using the longer motion during a clear enemy pause.

Jagged Steel

The accessory name 活木符 is retained in Chinese; its official English name is unconfirmed.

Jagged Steel offers an early Bleed-focused melee option whose status effect depends on the target type.

Effect and conditions

Hits build Bleed toward a Blood Loss trigger. By default, Puppets, Golden Bodies and Phantom Bodies are excluded from this effect; 活木符 provides an exception.

Acquisition notes

1. Pass the Red Thread Barrier in Weeping Creek Valley and locate the Frenzied Brute fighting other enemies.
2. Defeat him to receive Jagged Steel.

Using this weapon

Check whether the target can bleed, then build hits in safe openings. Keep another damage plan for excluded targets.

Scarlet Wraithblade

Scarlet Wraithblade is Hua’s two-handed reward, combining shield pressure with a lingering ground effect.

Effect and conditions

Sha-Chi strings leave flowers that slow nearby enemies and drain their Sha-Chi before detonating for damage.

Acquisition notes

1. Enter the ground floor of the Valley Sha-Chi Tower, descend the stairs ahead-right, then climb the stairs on the left.
2. Defeat Hua, Deadly Betrothed, to obtain the weapon.

Using this weapon

The ground effect is more useful while the enemy stays inside it; do not remain in an incoming combo just to wait for the explosion.

The Fanatic's Broken Blade

The Fanatic’s Broken Blade changes its reach through drinking, adding state management to combat.

Effect and conditions

Tipsy and Drunk states turn attacks into flying-sword attacks with distance-based damage falloff. The state also changes mobility, defense and available follow-ups.

Guard Break (shown at level 1)

96

Acquisition notes

1. Reach the Pangzhen Bridge Overlook through the Abandoned Main Road in Crimson Forest and defeat Hua Qianxiao on the bridge.

Using this weapon

Allow space for drinking and state changes. Ranged attacks do not remove the need to watch pursuit and recovery.

Outlaw Warblade

The accessory name 活木符 is retained in Chinese; its official English name is unconfirmed.

Outlaw Warblade mixes life-draining attacks with moves that temporarily put HP at risk.

Effect and conditions

Standard attacks and selected skills restore HP from valid targets. Sha-Chi combos create recoverable HP that can be lost if recovery is delayed or damage is taken. By default, life drain excludes Puppets, Golden Bodies and Phantom Bodies; 活木符 provides an exception.

Type

Two-Handed

Acquisition notes

1. Defeat Jing Ye the Outlaw at the Outlaw Trap in Crimson Forest.

Using this weapon

At low HP, distinguish a healing action from one that first risks HP. Use longer sequences when the target is reliably exposed.

Parting Hooks

Parting Hooks combines dual-wield shield pressure with a melee counter and requires access beyond brambles.

Effect and conditions

The pullback finisher pressures shields. Basic Counter excludes black-flash attacks; the level-25 Divine Beast Bind upgrade lets Counter answer black-flash attacks and lead into Counter Follow-Up.

Type

Dual-Wield

2. Continue through the temporary quarters, rooftop chains and Dockside Warehouse; descend to the lower street, climb the final stairs and defeat Soulclaimer.

Using this weapon

Check whether the level-25 upgrade is unlocked. Before that upgrade, do not rely on basic Counter against black-flash attacks.
