Starting Location: Forge It Anew

This quest starts when collecting any of the St Mihai’s sword pieces (doing any of the objectives below). It’s a questline with multiple sub-quests which are all covered here together.

Forge It Anew: Do Not Disturb (Sword Shard 1/3)

In the north-east of the map, in Maragir Wealds region, inspect the yellow markings in the campsite using Focus Mode (L2/LT). Follow the yellow markings into the Kobold’s cave. Loot the shard at the end of the cave on the broken altar.

You can also inspect the cave drawing in this room, it will mark the other 2 quests on the map.

Forge It Anew: Hostile Takeover (Sword Shard 2/3)

At the quest marker you will find a cave entrance with a white “X” icon on the wall above it. Crouch to enter the cave, inside you find a boss. After the fight you can loot the nest at the end of the cave.

Forge It Anew: Executive Order (Sword Shard 3/3)

This quest marker leads to a cave in the east of St. Tyna’s Grove. Inside the cave use Focus Mode (L2/LT) to inspect all yellow highlighted bodies and the wall painting. You won’t find the shard here directly, instead the quest marker will update to an enemy camp.

Go to the enemy camp which also counts as a Xanthe court activity. After defeating the soldiers, loot the shard from inside the tent (highlighted yellow in Focus Mode). The enemies here are Level 25+.

Finish Side Quests “Night Terrors” & “A Monk and a Saint” to obtain St. Mihai’s Sword (Sword Hilt)

You are still missing the final sword piece, the hilt. To get it you must finish two other side quests. Do these now, then continue here at the next objective:

Talk to the Uriashi Blacksmith to Reforge the Sword

Go to the Uriashi Blacksmith in the east of Briar Sloughs region, at Uriashi Hermitage shrine. It will be marked as an objective on the map. Deliver all 3 shards and the Broken Sword of St. Mihai that you got from the aforementioned questline. The blacksmith will forge it into the purple rarity Restored Sword of St. Mihai. But one more step remains, you must perform a ritual to restore it to its full power.

Find the place the blacksmith mentioned

Go to the cave a little bit north-west from the blacksmith. Defeat the enemies inside.

Temper St. Mihai’s Sword

After clearing out the enemies, climb up in the cave and go through the door at the end to find a ritual room. Interact with the red orb to summon waves of enemies.

After defeating them, you get a cutscene and unlock the Legendary Sword: Imbued Sword of St. Mihai, along with the Arbiter’s Blade trophy / achievement.

The same Uriashi Blacksmith can also help you forge a legendary armor in questline A Bulwark Against Darkness for Arbiter’s Regalia.

This finishes Forge It Anew side quest in The Blood of Dawnwalker.
