Are you excited to look for all the legendary gear in The Blood of Dawnwalker? There are plenty of powerful items scattered all across Vale Sangora. If you’re bold, you might have a chance at finding most of them. Our guide has all the details that you need to help you in this endeavor, and we’ve also included links to related guides. As an aside, given that we’re going to discuss some top-tier rewards, this article is going to contain lots of spoilers.
The Blood of Dawnwalker legendary weapons, armors, and accessories
Before we continue, we’d like to clarify that we’re creating two separate categories for the legendary gear in The Blood of Dawnwalker:
- Boss drops – These are items that you directly loot from defeated bosses. You can fight vampire boyars in their lairs as part of their main quest, inside Greifberg Castle if you assault it early, or, in some cases, totally unexpected locations.
- Rewards – These legendary items come from (a) quest rewards or (b) chests.
Note 1: As of now, we decided not to include legendary items sold by vendors. We’ve yet to confirm if the wares are totally random and if there are fixed locations in the game world.
Note 2: Don’t worry if an item that you obtained early in the campaign seems too low level down the line. You can upgrade them via blacksmiths and armorers.
Legendary equipment dropped by bosses
These are The Blood of Dawnwalker legendary gear dropped by the vampire boyars:

- Bakir: Bakir’s Armor (medium chestpiece) – Weapon damage, stamina gain (perfect block), block stamina cost, and dodge stamina cost.
Legendary gear in northern Vale Sangora
There are several legendary gear pieces in the northern part of the world map. We’re going to start from Briar Sloughs near the border of Laslea Glen, before heading south to Boar’s Back and Svartrau Outskirts.
Imbued Sword of St. Mihai
- Type: Weapon
- Stat boosts: Swordmastery ability cooldown, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and damage against supernatural enemies.
- Location: If you want to obtain this legendary weapon in The Blood of Dawnwalker, then you need to put a bit of effort by completing a couple of quest chains:
- A Monk and a Saint – Find the Broken Sword of St. Mihai.
- Forge It Anew – Collect the three Sword Shards.
- Once you have all the required items, forge the blade by talking to the uriash blacksmith. If you want to empower it further, you have to clear a gauntlet with half a dozen enemy waves.
Durandal
- Type: Weapon
- Stat boosts: Swordmastery ability cooldown, attack stamina cost, dodge stamina cost, and damage against supernatural enemies.

Erkas’ Sword
- Type: Weapon
- Stat boosts: Maximum human health, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and damage against supernatural enemies.
- Location: The process of getting this legendary weapon is somewhat related to the tasks that you do for Father Florin.

When you’re free, head to the marked location and defeat a miniboss named Erkas the Repenter.

Oh, and this area also has a Phial of Brencis’ Blood, a legendary consumable that teaches you the Piercing Shriek ability.
Isbrand’s Plate
- Type: Medium chestpiece
- Stat boosts: Maximum vampiric health, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and blood drinking restoration.
