Song of Parting item card

The item card reads:

With no brush in the prison, the prisoner dipped a finger in blood and wrote out a lifetime of farewells across the wall. The characters are neat and evenly spaced, like names waiting to be crossed off the ledger of the dead.

The poem on the wall ends halfway through its final line. Yet somehow, the completed poem was later written down on paper. By whom?

Its effect line reads: “Used to Soul Temper the Parting Hooks.”

What Song of Parting does

Song of Parting Soul Tempers the Parting Hooks and nothing else. The upgrade it unlocks is Foretelling Strike, with this effect: “Parrying an enemy’s Blue-flash Attack with Block automatically triggers Counter.”

To apply it, you need two things:

  • 5,000 Remnant Dust
  • Song of Parting

In Pangzhen, locate the Order’s underground tavern and bring both items to Myst; use Soul Temper on the Parting Hooks there to add Foretelling Strike.
