The Blood of Dawnwalker Guide | How to Get Burnished Battlesword from The Bloodletter

You can get the Burnished Battlesword by defeating The Bloodletter, a powerful enemy who appears at the final camp in Ambrus's Collectors questline.

How to Make The Bloodletter Appear

The Bloodletter does not appear during your first Ambrus's Collectors activity. You need to complete the three leech collection camps connected to the questline.

At least at one camp, choose to destroy the leech barrels. When you reach your third and final camp, The Bloodletter will appear after you deal with the barrels.

The three activities are:

• Ambrus's Collectors: Bounty of the Mire
• Ambrus's Collectors: Wetland Helpers
• Ambrus's Collectors: Unsavory Solutions

Each activity costs 3 Time Segments.

How to Find The Bloodletter

Travel to the active Ambrus's Collectors camp and eliminate the soldiers guarding the area. Once the camp is clear, approach the highlighted barrels and interact with them.

Choose the option to destroy the leech barrels.

If this is the third leech camp you have completed and you previously destroyed the barrels at least once, The Bloodletter will spawn during the resulting encounter.

How to Defeat The Bloodletter

The Bloodletter is a fast melee fighter who uses two weapons and can attack rapidly from close range. His attacks can cover a wide area, so avoid staying directly in front of him for too long.

Watch for his heavier unblockable attacks and create distance when he begins winding them up. Dodging away twice can help you avoid the full attack range.

Because The Bloodletter attacks quickly, blocking his regular strikes and counterattacking between combos is generally safer than attacking continuously.

How to Get Burnished Battlesword

After defeating The Bloodletter, loot his body to collect his rewards. The Burnished Battlesword is tied to the Bloodletter encounter and is an Epic Greatsword.

The weapon has:

• 44–64 Damage
• +12% Maximum Stamina
• +6.4% Activation Charge Restoration from Actions
• -4% Swordmastery Ability Cooldown
• 2.3 Weight

The Burnished Battlesword can also appear through merchant inventories, but defeating The Bloodletter provides a direct route to obtaining it.

Final Thoughts

The Burnished Battlesword is one of the rewards worth pursuing through Ambrus's Collector activities.

Complete all three leech camps, destroy the barrels at least once, and The Bloodletter will appear at the final camp. Defeat him and loot his body to obtain the Burnished Battlesword.
