Collect three shards and the Broken Sword of St. Mihai, visit the Uriashi Hermitage blacksmith, then finish the separate tempering ritual. The Restored Sword is an intermediate reward.
Collect the missing pieces
- Do Not Disturb: inspect the camp markings in Maragir Wealds with Focus Mode, follow them into the kobold cave and search the broken altar. Inspect the drawing to reveal the other shard objectives.
- Hostile Takeover: crouch into the cave below the white X, defeat its boss and search the nest.
- Executive Order: investigate the bodies and painting in the cave east of St. Tyna’s Grove. Follow the updated objective to the soldiers’ camp and search the tent; the first cave is not the pickup point.
- Obtain the broken sword through A Monk and a Saint. Check for all three shards plus this separate item before visiting the smith.
Lost the trail during Do Not Disturb?
At the abandoned camp, use Focus to inspect the painted hand and the bloody drag trail. Follow that trail uphill; another hand painted on the rock face is the next route check. Expect enemies both before the cave and inside it. These landmarks come from ATH's walkthrough and have not been tested by this site.
Inside, distinguish the wall map from the altar pickup: reading the mural reveals other objectives, while taking the shard completes this leg. If you declined the altar's time prompt, return and check whether the shard is still there. The parent Forge It Anew quest should remain active afterward.
Found the journal, but not the shard?
ATH's camp account places Florin's Orders in the camp bag and the Blood-Soaked Journal at the ruined altar. Neither document is the Sword Shard. At the altar, inspect the broken cross and look for the separate shard pickup. Confirm the item and completed Do Not Disturb entry afterward; read the actual time prompt rather than assuming a fixed number of hours.
Hostile Takeover: find the nest after Munch-Munch
ATH's cave route approaches north from Rockfalls, uphill near Shrike's Crag. Check the cross outside and the Enter the cave objective before descending. After defeating Munch-Munch, use Focus to inspect its nest on a raised ledge. Read the shard's time cost and confirm pickup; the boss kill and wall map alone do not complete this objective. Check both inventory and journal before leaving.
Finish the weapon
ATH's Uriashi route gives two ways to reveal the smith. If she is not marked, fast travel to Uriash Village and ask the Matriarch about a skilled blacksmith. She stands near the settlement's witchcraft vendor; finishing that conversation updates the search toward a hermitage north of Parlita. The conversation is optional: the stone hut at Uriashi Hermitage, in the far northwest near Briar Sloughs, can be approached directly.
Before the hut, confirm the inventory contains all three shards and the separate Broken Sword of St. Mihai. Approaching the building changes the objective to speaking with the smith and starts the scene. When asked why the blade should be repaired, choose the answer about killing Brencis; then verify the restored sword appears before following the new cave objective.
- At Uriashi Hermitage, deliver the broken blade and three shards. Confirm you received the Restored Sword of St. Mihai.
- Follow the smith’s marker northwest to the cave. If red vines cover the entrance, cut them with your sword before entering; this entrance detail is reported by ATH and has not been tested by this site. Defeat the enemies inside.
- Climb to the upper passage, go through its door and interact with the red orb in the ritual room. PowerPyx identifies this interaction as the trigger for another enemy encounter.
- Defeat the summoned enemies and let the scene finish. Check for Imbued Sword of St. Mihai and Arbiter’s Blade; merely clearing the entrance cave is not completion.
ATH’s newer overview reverses the orb and ritual-fight order. Follow the current interaction objective rather than waiting beside an untouched orb for enemies to appear.
All pieces collected, but the smith will not craft?
First check for the broken sword and all three shards, then reopen the smith's quest dialogue. The official Hotfix 1.0.2 notes include a fix for the Uriashi blacksmith's holy-sword crafting. If running an older build, install the available game update through your platform and retry from a preserved save. The patch note does not guarantee recovery of every stalled save; if the problem remains, record the game version and current journal objective rather than assuming another shard must exist.
Must the hilt come first?
ATH presents the hilt first; PowerPyx records the quest starting from any sword piece. Follow the objectives already active in your journal rather than restarting because you found a shard first.
