Overview
The Sword of the Cursed is a Knowledge entry obtained by examining the entrance of the Dragon's Stone Chamber in the Hernand Highlands. Despite the name, this does not lead to an actual weapon; it is a lore collectible. The Knowledge entry shows a Memory Fragment depicting people discussing a suspicious sealed door. Investigating further leads to the Dragon's Stone Chamber puzzle, which is a separate challenge with its own reward.
Location
Follow the Mysterious Energy marker on your map in the Hernand Highlands. The entrance to the Dragon's Stone Chamber is at the base of the ruins near Anvil Hillside Terrace. The area is recognizable by the overgrown foliage covering a large stone doorway.
How to Obtain the Knowledge Entry
Travel to the Dragon's Stone Chamber entrance in the Hernand Highlands.
Use Blinding Flash to burn away the foliage covering the entrance. The vines and leaves blocking the doorway will ignite and clear away, revealing the sealed door behind them.
Use Visione to examine the Memory Fragment at the entrance. This triggers a short cutscene showing figures from the past discussing the sealed door.
The "Sword of the Cursed" Knowledge entry is automatically added to your Journal after viewing the Memory Fragment.
Dragon's Stone Chamber Puzzle
Once the foliage is cleared, you can push the door open and enter the Dragon's Stone Chamber. Inside, three rotating dials must be set to the correct positions. The clue for each dial is found on murals scattered throughout the Anvil Hillside Terrace outside the chamber. There are four mural clue locations in total, similar to the Azure Moon Labyrinth puzzle. You must investigate these locations to learn the symbols needed for the dials.
Dial Solutions
Dial | Correct Position |
|---|---|
Sun/Moon Dial | Rotate until the symbols align at the top position |
Circular Symbol Dial | Position the bracket-like mark so it faces left |
Spiral Symbol Dial | Move the white spiral to the lower-left corner |
Check the murals found throughout the Anvil Hillside Terrace for visual clues about the correct dial positions before entering the chamber.
Tips
The Sword of the Cursed Knowledge entry and the Dragon's Stone Chamber puzzle are technically separate objectives. You can collect the knowledge entry without solving the chamber puzzle.
Bring the Lantern to help spot additional clues in the dark interior of the chamber.
If you have not found all four mural clues outside, the dial positions may not make sense. Explore the full Anvil Hillside Terrace area before attempting the puzzle.
The Blinding Flash skill is required for entry. If you have not learned it yet, come back after acquiring it.
