Heavy · Courage · Uncommon
Uncommon Ode Tempest Heavy greatsword requiring 18 Courage, with 66 ATK and 74 stagger. Forge it from two fragments obtained through world containers or Wares of Sovereign. Fragments come from a wide net of world containers — Barrels, Baskets, Crates, Sword Racks, and Dendrit Chests in Alca's Bounty and Oro's Well — plus dungeon deeds like A Hidden Harvest and Avakot's Stocks, and Organ operations at Fortress O'Dell and Kearnhold Lowlands. That breadth makes it one of the more forgiving early Heavy weapons to complete without a dedicated farm route; Wares of Zenith also sells the fragment outright for 230 Dracs if containers are running dry.
A mace of entwined alloys flowing gracefully into jagged steel. The first weapon in Soulframe obtained pre-crafted with variable Craftwork and Tempers rather than assembled from Fragments. Requires Courage 12 with pure Courage attunement. Whole weapon previews drop from multiple Sinecure foe variants (Knight with Mace, Shield, or Sword; Sinecure Officer; Sinecure-errant Gawth), as well as Gruul Seeker Sontaro, Ichorous Wardogs, and Polearm Racks. The diverse drop source pool makes Orst-III one of the most accessible Heavy weapons for Courage builds — no fragment assembly or siege rotation required. Post-Preludes 15: 76 ATK, making it a top-tier base-attack Heavy weapon for sustained melee pressure in mid-to-late game progression.
