Where to find the Carian Sorcery Sword

The Carian Sorcery Sword can be found in a chest on a castle wall in Castle Ensis. Before you can get the weapon, you must defeat Rellana, Twin Moon Knight and reach Scadu Altus. Start your journey from the Highroad Cross Site of Grace and head west until you reach a cliff overlooking a river. From here, follow the cliff north to locate an area you can drop into the river.

Follow the river to the south toward Castle Ensis. Stop when you reach the end of the river where it flows into a waterfall. From here, turn to the west and jump off the cliff that overlooks the castle wall. You can see the chest that contains the weapon from the cliff. Run across the wall to the chest and open it to obtain the Carian Sorcery Sword in Shadow of the Erdtree.
