Commit to Purity for Tethren-line Heavy endgame—use Rook only as the earlier Spirit polearm while you farm Hark, The Collector or Dendrit Chests. — Soul...
Rare Courage and Spirit Heavy greatsword with 68 ATK and 66 stagger. Obtain the whole weapon from The Mendicant King, then reforge it at Tuvalkane. The Cogah variant of Mendicant King offers a second whole-weapon roll on the boss rotation, and Avakot sells the weapon outright for 240 Dracs for players who'd rather skip the boss fight entirely.
Rook is an Uncommon Spirit polearm requiring 11 Spirit, designed as a club-and-spear hybrid (rookblade) favored by towering Knightmaidens and now wielded by Thralls. With 65 base ATK, 60 stagger, 130 charged attack, and 2% smite, it delivers the highest raw stagger among Spirit weapons — ideal for crowd control and boss stun-locking in Oscelda and Garren Rood builds. Farm 2 fragments from Hark The Collector operation or Dendrit Chests in the Glades. Forge at Tuvalkane. Purchase from Avakot for 215 Dracs. Rook is the premium Spirit polearm for mid-game content, bridging to higher-tier Spirit options. The 60 stagger stat is exceptional for its tier, enabling repeated knockdown loops against Omen beasts and elite foes. The charged attack at 130 damage is devastating when timed during stagger windows. The lore describes the wrought iron rookblade as both club and spear — such polearms littered the fields of Dendria after the dread song rang, now held by the Thrall. Pairs well with Oscelda magick builds that need a melee swap for Spirit-attuned physical damage. Effective in Hark The Collector farming rotations and Dendrit Glades content where Spirit damage is prioritized.
