A sword once carried by Elianne the Starved.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Inferno or Radiance
The Hallowed Sentinels never suspected the true nature of the incredible power they sensed inside the orphan Elianne, for it would have meant her death. Instead, the child born of flesh and Umbral was indoctrinated with a lie and moulded in the light of the Cleric.

Set bonus — Pieta’s Swords
Dual-wielding both swords unlocks an explosion attack. Which sword is in your main hand changes it: the files carry a Radiant explosion, an Umbral explosion and a third combined version, with separate activations and separate buffs for each main hand.
Equip alongside:
What it takes
Meet the weapon's stat requirements and the special attack is available — at any upgrade level, with no quest to finish first. The pairing above is still required: both weapons have to be equipped.
Set membership is read from the weapon's own ItemTags in the game files.
What the bonus does is described from its ability assets. Unlock conditions were removed by patch 2.5.593 on 15 August 2026; before it, several
of these were gated behind questlines. The game itself never mentions any of this.

Also bought from Molhu, but with the remembrance from the secret boss at the end of the game — the alternate ending where you face Pieta in her Umbral form. Same merchant as the Radiant sword, at opposite ends of a playthrough: one of the first remembrances you can spend, and one of the last.
