The Greek Sword sits behind a sealed tomb in Chapter 5 of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, hidden off the main route through the “Desolation It Wrought” chapter during the “The Four Symbols” trial. Getting it means leaving the obvious path near a broken bridge, clearing a small camp, and lining up three light beams from your Sphere so an axe-marked hatch opens in the floor.
Quick answer: From the central symbol hub, cross the broken bridge and take the left side path to the plunderer’s camp instead of the ox-head door. Climb the platform left of the axe hatch, stand on the eye-marked spot atop the pillars, then use the Sphere to point the green beam at the green gem and rotate the other two beams onto their matching gems. The hatch opens, and the tomb below holds the Greek Sword.
Where the Blade Tomb is in Chapter 5
Most of Chapter 5 has you collecting symbols from separate trials and slotting them into marked doors around a central hub. The tomb is not on any waypoint, so it is easy to walk straight past it.
From the main hub, go through the doorway marked with the lens symbol, the same shape tied to the light puzzles you have already been solving. That leads you onto a broken bridge. Rather than heading toward the door with the ox-head sigil, follow the less obvious path branching off to the left. It drops you at the plunderer’s camp, where the hatch with the axe symbol is waiting on the ground.
Note: There is a short combat encounter here. Clear the enemies in the camp first, then look to their right for the tomb monolith so you can work the puzzle without interruption.
Solve the light puzzle and open the axe hatch
The hatch is locked until all three colored gems are lit by the correct beams from your Sphere. You can only line up the shot from one exact position above the camp.
Tip: Make sure your Sphere still has charge before you start. If it is depleted, it cannot project the beams and the puzzle cannot be completed.
Claim the Greek Sword and confirm it worked
You know the puzzle is solved when the axe-marked door drops open in the floor of the camp. Go down the steps into the crypt and open the sarcophagus at the bottom to add the Greek Sword to your inventory.
The Greek Sword carries the Spinning Slash technique. Once equipped, Sophia stops using her dagger, and her Critical Strike is replaced by a sweeping spin that damages every nearby enemy. It is strongest when you are surrounded, since the spin hits everything around her at once.
Why players miss this blade
The side route to the plunderer’s camp is optional and has no marker pointing to it. Anyone heading straight for the ox-head door on the recommended path will skip it entirely, which is the most common reason the Greek Sword goes uncollected.
