The Shadow of the Bloodstained Blade is an interactive item in Genshin impact, connected to the fallen knights of the Knights of Favonius and the lair of a lone northern wolf. Fight the beast and touch the weapon to learn the secret hidden within. This guide will show you the location of the red blade in the stone in Nod-Krai and explain how to solve its puzzle.
How to get the Shadow of the Bloodstained Blade from the Stone in Genshin Impact
Head to the square arena located between Kipumaki Cliff and Lake Amsvartnir. There you'll encounter a local legend, Homesick Lone Wolf, which has to be killed to interact with the blade encased in stone. The wolf respawns once per day, server time, so it will have to be killed again if you ever need access to the blade once more.
When you touch the weapon by pressing "F", a warning will pop up: "Do not disturb their peaceful sleep", referring to fallen ratniks. You will then be able to read the text, which suggests that this puzzle is connected to Master Varka: "In the sword's shadow, one can discern vague silhouettes reminiscent of the Knights of Favonius. Perhaps the one it awaits has not yet arrived.".
According to hhw, in update 6.4, Varka will get his signature outfit. It retains the motifs of the ancient warriors of Mondstadt and references the White Knight, also known as Roland. According to insider reports, it will appear in the Magter's Legends quest of the same patch. It is likely that this weapon skin will be awarded after interacting with the Shadow of the Bloodstained Blade and completing the Knight's of Boreas quest.
Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that almost every character in Nod-End has a detail that is NEEDED to solve something?
Judge for yourself:
Lauma and Columbina: can talk to animals (though the former ONLY works for one story with Aino and Ineffa)
Fleance: can "look at" the lanterns of souls
Nefer and Yagoda: have to extract information from the inhabitants of Nod-Kray.
Now Varka: needed to obtain the sword.
I think I should ignore this.
These are just minor quirks for those who've managed to get it. Zi Bai gave me that staff from the story, and at friendship level 7, she'll apparently fix it, and you'll be able to fly around Liyue on a carriage.
Nothing mandatory, just bonuses.
Nahida was reading Sumeru's mind. Same story.
Well, I don't know, for the End of the Innocent Age achievement, you can spend weeks buying coupons, or you can just visit Dabit with Yagoda - and the achievement is right there in your pocket.
For the same story with Aino, you need to see this horned beer snack 5-6 times, if there is no dendro cow on the akka, until she herself comes to nurse the animal back to health
Before Illuga came out (and that was if you were lucky enough to get it) it was impossible to make a kv with lanterns
Before Yagoda's release, the same cat lady was the only one who collected information from residents and could read letters in the Curatorium.
All that's left is to make the character four like a dendro cow, so you can talk to the dog at the roulette wheel, etc.
Yes, it doesn't bring gems or unique rewards (although the same battle with lanterns gives mora and experience books), but it is one way or another a cut in content, albeit a tiny one, for those who don't have character X or Y
