The Sword of Night is a katana found only in the world. Fire ring‘S Edtree’s Shadow It’s an expansion pack. It’s a great weapon for agility builds looking for something new, but be aware that you’ll need to complete a relatively long quest to get it. However, if you’re up for it, this is rated as one of the best new weapons in the DLC.
Here’s what you need to know about Sword of Night and where to find it.

Night Sword Item Description
The Night Sword item description is as follows:
“A bottomless black sword that devours everything, even the light shining upon it. Wielded by Zolan, the swordsman of the night.
The blade is only semi-material, so it cannot provide complete defense.”
Where to Find the Sword of Night
It won’t be easy to get your hands on the Sword of Night, but follow us and we’ll guide you there. You should visit the Manus Metyr Cathedral, west of Scadu Altus. There you will find an NPC named Count Ymir sitting on a throne. He will send you on a series of quests involving several finger ruins throughout the Shadow Lands.
When you first visit Count Ymir, he will give you a map and a necklace with a hole. You must take this to the Finger Ruins of Rhia (reached via the Southern Shore region). When you arrive, approach the bell (finger?) in the center of the ruins and you will receive the Crimson Seed Amulet +1 as a reward.
After visiting the Finger Ruins of Leah, return to Count Ymir to receive the Beloved Stardust and a new map. Take this item to the Finger Ruins of Dheo, which are very well hidden behind the statue near the Back Gate Site of Grace in Shadow Keep.
Approach the statue in the room next to the Place of Grace and make the “Oh, Mother” gesture.
This will open up a path to the Hinterlands, which leads directly to Dheo’s Finger Ruins. Interact with the bell (finger?) in the center of the ruins once again to receive the Azure Seed Amulet +1.
Go back and talk to Count Ymir once more to get the final map. Then teleport back to the Manus Metyr Cathedral to reset the area and come back. You will find Count Ymir missing, but if you approach the throne and interact with it, he will guide you to the Finger Ruins of Miyr below.
At the end of this new area, you’ll face the boss Metyr, the Mother of the Fingers. With a decent level and enough Scadutree pieces collected, she’s one of the simplest and easiest main bosses in the DLC.
Once Metyr, Mother of Fingers has fallen to your power, go back and interact with the throne a second time to summon the Swordhand of Night Jolan Invader. This is a simple NPC fight and shouldn’t take long to deal with. However, if she dies, Count Ymir will reappear, so prepare for another fight.
The Mother of Fingers boss, Count Ymir’s HP is not very high, so you can take him down pretty quickly with high damage spells or abilities. The only major concern in the fight are the Fingercreepers he spawns, but a few quick attacks should be enough to clear them from the arena.
Once Count Ymir is finally defeated, quickly travel to the throne room and spend the last hour there. Jolan is leaning against the pillar near the throne. If you found the Iris of Grace and/or Iris of Occultation items during your travels, you will be given the option to give her only one of them.
Choose the iris of cover. Once Jolan dies, you can loot the glowing items she leaves behind to finally obtain the Night Sword.
memo: If you haven’t found the Iris of Occultation yet, you can easily find it by defeating the Lesser Omenkiller in the Fort of Reprimand in Scadu Altus. Alternatively, you can kill the Lesser Ulcerated Spirit in the Church District of Shadow Keep, but this will take a bit more effort.
