Quick answer: Battleforged is in a chest in Meigu Lake, near the Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower Upper Level 1 bell. After 10 seconds without taking damage, you are immune to the next hit.


Where to find Battleforged

The closest bell is Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower Upper Level 1, and the chest’s pin appears on the Meigu Lake interactive map. Click the pin to see its details.

Before you go for the chest, rest at the Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower Upper Level 1 bell. Bells work as fast travel and respawn points, so if you die on the way, you come back close to the chest instead of farther out.


Battleforged item card: Effect and description

Battleforged is listed as a “Defensive” accessory. Its effect line on the item card reads:

“After 10 seconds without taking damage, becomes immune to the next hit.”

The description is flavor text only:

“A pale armlet carved from the bone of a resentful beast, long steeped in the suffering of countless battles. It can temper the body into steel or harden one into something inhuman. It all depends on its wearer: whether to remain true to one’s convictions, or surrender to murderous intent.”

How to polish Battleforged

Polish 1 cuts its wait from 10 seconds to 6. Its updated effect reads “After 6 seconds without taking damage, becomes immune to the next hit.” Unless the polish line specifies a change, polishing only increases the numbers.

Get a Tainted Crystal Shard. Quick Hand Zhang sells one for 7,440 Remnant Dust, and you can also find a Tainted Crystal Shard in the world.
Make sure you’re carrying 8,640 Remnant Dust on top of the shard. If you buy the shard from Quick Hand Zhang, that purchase comes out of the same Remnant Dust.
Take both to Jewel and polish the accessory. Battleforged then grants immunity after 6 seconds without taking damage.

What Battleforged is good for

Battleforged gives you one free mistake. It pays off most if you play carefully and dodge consistently, since every hit you take restarts the timer.

You start with access to three accessory slots, so Battleforged can share your setup with other choices in the full accessories list. Other methods are available to increase defense further.
