Description
Hidden sword once granted to the Tarnished of the
Roundtable
By the Two Fingers.
A formless cipher comprises its blade, which
Deals holy damage no shield can repel.
Champions would gather
At the Roundtable HoldLandmark in days long past, when the Two
Fingers
Were masters of oration, their flesh yet full of vigor.
Notes
Found in upstairs throne room of Fortified Manor, LeyndellRegion Royal Capital. From Fortified Manor, 1st Floor site of grace, head outside the building, turn right, climb the stable roofs to the right and re-enter the second floor of the Fortified Manor. Head towards the Round Table room, and the Coded Sword is on the throne of the Throne RoomLandmark southwest of the Round Table. This weapon must be acquired before defeating Maliketh, the Black Blade, as it is not accessible in Leyndell, Ashen CapitalDungeon. Weapon Skill: Unblockable Blade. Cannot be infused with Ashes of War. Cannot be enchanted with Magic nor boosted with Consumables. The Coded Sword is resilient to weapon bounce commonly experienced by other small armaments when attacking into shields, or certain enemies (eg. Miners). This allows the weapon to excel with one-handed use in situations where other armaments would demand a two-handed approach. The ability to attack uninterrupted into an enemy's block plays into the weapon's overall unblockable theme, with its unblockable weapon skill, and pure Holy damage. Due to its damage being purely Holy, the Coded Sword benefits greatly from the Sacred Scorpion Charm. It does not deal Standard or Pierce damage in any way despite its ingame description. Sell Value: 1000..
The sword's shape, appearance, and purely Holy damage, as well as the effect that it turns off when sheathed, might be a reference to the Sunblade, a magical weapon from the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPG. NOTE: As of
the Upgrades Table of this weapon below. Additionally, the running attack speed, first attack speed and speed of guard counter of straight sword has increased. The attack recovery time has also decreased. NOTE:
