The Blood of Dawnwalker Guide | How to Find The Kingslayer Legendary Greatsword

The Kingslayer is a Level 21 Legendary Greatsword you can find by digging up a buried treasure chest along the riverbank west of Svartrau City.

Where to Find The Kingslayer

The easiest way to obtain the Kingslayer is through the Bandit's Treasure Map: Riverbank. The treasure is located along the river west of Svartrau City. You can technically dig up the chest without the map, but having it makes finding the location much easier.

The treasure map can be obtained from a bandit camp south of Svartrau City. Clear out the Brigand Bastards and search the barrels in the camp to find the map.

How to Get The Kingslayer

Once you have the map, follow these steps:

• Travel to the riverbank west of Svartrau City.
• Follow the river until you reach the marked treasure area.
• Look for a large boulder and a pile of rocks near the riverbank.
• Make sure you have a Shovel in your inventory.
• Interact with the dig site to excavate the buried chest.
• Open the chest and collect The Kingslayer.
• Digging up the treasure consumes one Time Segment.

If you already know where the treasure is, you do not need to collect the Treasure Map first. You can travel directly to the dig site as long as you have a shovel.

Alternative Ways to Get The Kingslayer

There are two other ways to obtain The Kingslayer.

Forge it Anew: Executive Order.

During Forge it Anew: Executive Order, you eventually reach a soldier outpost near Tantari. After dealing with the soldiers, loot their bodies carefully. A tougher guard can drop The Kingslayer as a Legendary Greatsword.

The Sword Shard required for the quest is separate from The Kingslayer, so search the outpost thoroughly before leaving.

Buy The Kingslayer

You can also find The Kingslayer in the Silver Trader's weapon inventory in Svartrau City. The vendor's stock rotates, so the weapon may not be available every time you visit. If you don't see it, check again after the inventory refreshes.

The Kingslayer Stats and Effects

The Kingslayer is designed around Perfect Blocks and stamina management. Its effects include:

• +25% Perfect Block Window
• -12% Omniblock Stamina Cost
• +15% Stamina Gain from Perfect Block
• -15% Attack Stamina Cost

Its base Level 1 damage is 51–73, though weapon stats scale with the weapon's level.

The sword has a slow attack speed, but its defensive bonuses make it particularly useful if you rely on Perfect Blocks and counterattacks.

Final Thoughts

The easiest route to The Kingslayer is the Riverbank treasure west of Svartrau City. Get a shovel, travel to the riverbank, find the buried treasure, and dig up the Legendary Greatsword.

If you encounter the weapon naturally during Forge it Anew: Executive Order, you can also get it from the soldier outpost, while the Silver Trader offers another option.
