Notes
A chest in the back of the eastern Carriage, defended by a group of soldiers, near the Gatefront RuinsLandmark. Dropped by Brother Corhyn, along with his Corhyn's Bell Bearing, and Corhyn's Robe, after finding him in Leyndell, Ashen CapitalDungeon at the end of Goldmask's questline. Exhaust his dialogue, reload the area, and the items are found where he once was. If you offered Corhyn the Tonic of Forgetfulness at the bridge near the Stargazer's Ruins, he will still be there after reaching Ashen Leyndell. Reload the area and collect the items from where he once was. If you've entered Crumbling Farum AzulaDungeon without solving the Law of Regression puzzle of Goldmask's questline, these items are found wherever you've last found Corhyn, be it in the Roundtable HoldLandmark or in Altus PlateauGrace. These items are also obtained by killing Corhyn. Weapon Skill: Spinning Chain. This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War. Can be buffed by Magic or Consumables.
Flail can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones
Flails are great backup weapons for builds heavily invested in dexterity when coming across enemies with high resistance to slash and pierce attacks. Enemies with said resistances often have an innate weakness to strike attacks which dexterity weapons often lack, making flails a perfect backup plan for areas or bosses where dexterity users usually struggle with low damage and/or attacks bouncing off the enemies. Due to its slower attacks than most dexterity weapons, it might require some time to get used to the attack patterns, but comes with higher stagger rates than most lightweight weapons. As such when flails stagger an enemy, a cunning player can swiftly swap their main weapon to a dagger (such as Misericorde) with high critical stat for a finishing blow with impressive damage. Sell Value: 100 Runes. NOTE: the recovery time has been reduced. (Only when dual-wielding)
