Where to find Durandal, the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai, and The Purge, plus the exact quests and cost for each.

Coen leans on a sword for the bulk of his daytime melee, and three Legendary blades sit at the top of that pool in The Blood of Dawnwalker. Each one comes from a completely different route. One is tied to an early side quest, one is the payoff of a longer forging questline, and one is a straight purchase.

Quick answer: Grab Durandal from The Cursed Chasm side quest near the Coward’s Path Shrine, earn the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai by finishing the Forge it Anew questline, and buy The Purge from the Silver Trader in Svartrau City for 3,750 Denarii.

Durandal: The Cursed Chasm side quest

Durandal is the earliest Legendary sword you can realistically claim, and it makes a strong early-game weapon. Before you head out, be aware of two things. The path is guarded by dangerous enemies, and completing this route pushes your time bar forward by two segments. Coming in around level 11 makes the fight far more manageable.

Travel to the Coward’s Path Shrine waypoint, on the left side of the map. Work your way there through Briar Sloughs, restoring shrines as you pass them.

Find the quest marker near the edge of the gorge, close to the waypoint. Interact with the note there to begin The Cursed Chasm.
Look down into the gorge and turn on Focus Mode to spot the broken debris below. Head toward it.
Deal with the wolves blocking the way. Any wolf showing a skull icon next to its health bar can kill you in a single hit, which is exactly why the level 11 recommendation matters.
With the area cleared, interact with the debris to pick up Durandal.

Note: You can also stumble onto this spot by exploring rather than starting from the note, but taking the quest route keeps the objective marked on your map.


Imbued Sword of St. Mihai: The Forge it Anew reward

This blade is the endpoint of a chain of quests, so the order you tackle them in matters. Run them as Night Terrors, then A Monk and a Saint, then Forge it Anew. Night Terrors opens up an underground area you will need later, A Monk and a Saint hands you the broken Silver Sword, and Forge it Anew gets you the pieces to rebuild it.

Complete A Monk and a Saint to receive the broken Silver Sword. This is guaranteed on finishing the quest.
Work through Forge it Anew to collect the three sword shards. The hilt comes from a boss inside the underground area you unlocked during Night Terrors.
Take the shards to the Uriash Hermit Blacksmith and craft the restored Silver Sword.
Follow the blacksmith’s next instructions, which send you into a forest cave. Place the repaired sword into the glowing red orb there, after fighting for the chance to do so, to turn it into the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai and finish the questline.

You will know it worked when the restored Silver Sword is converted into the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai and the Forge it Anew questline closes out.


The Purge: Buy it from the Silver Trader

The Purge is the simplest of the three to obtain, since there is no quest attached. It sits in the inventory of the Silver Trader in Svartrau City. The only barrier is money.

Head to the Silver Trader inside Svartrau City.
Save up 3,750 Denarii from in-game activities, then buy The Purge outright. Once you can afford it, the sword is yours immediately.

Between the three, Durandal is the one to prioritize first thanks to how early and cheaply you can reach it. The Imbued Sword of St. Mihai rewards patience through the Forge it Anew chain, and The Purge is there whenever your Denarii stockpile catches up.
