Quick answer: Flaming Grip forms from two pieces: Scorching Flames from Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade, at the Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower, and The Quenched Flaming Grip from a Lóng Pillar trial. It Soul Tempers Sanguine Reach into Blazing Edge.
Where to get Flaming Grip
Flaming Grip forms once you hold both of its pieces.
| Piece | Where it comes from | Card text |
|---|---|---|
 Scorching Flames | Defeat Zhu Yuan, the Searing Blade, about 31 m from the Pangzhen Sha-Chi Tower Furnace bell | “Fire was the key to Zhu Yuan’s mastery of the blade. He had to be fast, so as to cut through the burning flames; steady, so as not to disturb the tongues of fire; adaptable, so he could keep pace with dancing light and evade the rolling waves of heat. In this way, the flames shaped his swordsmanship, yet he never conquered them. That scalding power burned him, again and again… and drew him in all the deeper. One day, he swore, he would hold the power of flame in his own hand.” |
 The Quenched Flaming Grip | Win your third Lóng Pillar trial; trials count in any order | “A gauntlet forged from a special iron by the people of the Bastion of Mó. It allows its wearer to command flames in the palm of their hand without being burned. Yet it was not made for wielding fire, but to train those of the Bastion bloodline to better control their power. After so long sealed away, however, the flames that once burned upon the gauntlet have long since gone out.” |
Flaming Grip item card
The item card reads:
Rekindled by the Everlasting Flame, the Flaming Grip transforms all Sha-Chi infused into it into blazing flames.
Yet true strength never lies in power alone. It lies in controlling that power without being consumed by it, and wielding it without losing oneself.
Its effect line reads: “Used to Soul Temper the Sanguine Reach.”
What Flaming Grip does
Flaming Grip has one job. It Soul Tempers the Sanguine Reach and nothing else. The upgrade turns the weapon into Blazing Edge.
When it works, the weapon becomes Blazing Edge, and its effect reads “Transformed through Soul Tempering into Blazing Edge.”
