The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut RPG from Rebel Wolves — the studio founded by former The Witcher 3 developers — has finally given dark fantasy fans a rEason to sharpen their steel. Set in the plague-ridden valley of Sangreal, the game follows Coen, a young man turned dawnwalker, as he blends swordplay with vampiric powers. And like any great role-playing game worth its salt, the best gear doesn’t come easy. If you’re hunting for the ultimate weapons, here’s everything you need to know about the game’s legendary swords.
How Many Legendary Swords Are in The Blood of Dawnwalker?
According to the guide from Destructoid, Sangreal hides exactly three legendary swords — the shiny, top-tier blades that sit at the pinnacle of the game’s weapon rarity ladder. These aren’t just stat sticks with a fancy color code, either. Legendary weapons in The Blood of Dawnwalker come with unique perks that can meaningfully change how you approach combat, especially when paired with Coen’s vampiric abilities and the game’s day-night cycle.
How to Get the Legendary Swords
Earning these blades is a genuine commitment. While each sword has its own specific requirements, the paths to legendary loot in Sangreal generally fall into a few familiar — but demanding — categories.
Explore Every Corner of Sangreal
Rebel Wolves has packed the valley with secrets, and some of the game’s finest rewards are reserved for players who wander off the main path. Hidden dungeons, remote landmarks, and easily missed areas are prime candidates for legendary finds. If a cave looks suspicious or a ruined tower looms in the distance, it’s usually worth the detour.
Defeat the Valley’s Deadliest Foes
This should come as no surprise to genre veterans: some of the best weapons in the game are taken from the cold, dead hands of Sangreal’s most dangerous inhabitants. Expect challenging boss encounters and elite enemies to guard at least a portion of the legendary arsenal. Come prepared with healing items, upgraded gear, and a willingness to learn attack patterns.
Complete Demanding Questlines
True to the studio’s RPG heritage, quest rewards matter in The Blood of Dawnwalker. Certain legendary swords are tied to quest completion — and given the game’s emphasis on player choice and branching consequences, some acquisitions may depend on the decisions you make along the way. Think carefully before burning bridges with NPCs; that disgruntled quest-giver might have been your ticket to a legendary blade.
Are the Legendary Swords Worth the Effort?
In short: absolutely. While a well-upgraded lower-tier weapon can carry you through much of the campaign, the legendary swords offer meaningful power spikes and unique effects that shine in the game’s toughest encounters. For players pushing into endgame content or experimenting with hybrid builds that mix swordplay with vampire powers, these three blades are the clear endgame goals.
There’s also a satisfying design philosophy at work here. Much like the relic-tier gear in The Witcher 3, these weapons reward curiosity and perseverance rather than simple story progression — a hallmark of the developers’ DNA that carries over beautifully into Sangreal.
Start Your Hunt Today
Whether you’re a completionist chasing every last secret or a min-maxer building the perfect loadout, the three legendary swords of The Blood of Dawnwalker are well worth the grind. Explore thoroughly, fight fiercely, and choose your allies wisely.
