A sword once carried by Pieta.

Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance

As the young Pieta's powers blossomed even more brilliantly than the Hallowed Sentinels expected, they shared with her the tale of her miraculous origin, being born of a human mother impregnated with holy light bestowed by Orius himself, hence her extraordinary nature.

Buildup per hit, and it does not rise with upgrade level — it carries no curve in the game's tables. What happens when the meter fills is covered on status effects.

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.
