TheBlazing Handquest is a new questline that includesGeneral Engstrom. Finding these Blazing Hands can be tricky in such a vast world, but here are all the locations and prerequisites in order to complete the questline.
How To Complete The Questline
To start this questline, the first thing you need are three gestures that are important throughout the questline. The gestures are thePledge of Adyr,Crimson Ritual Fervour, and theLaughtergesture. The Pledge of Adyr gesture is located on top of a corpse lying on a broken catapult at the start of theUpper Calrath, which you can access fromLower Calrath. Obtaining Crimson Ritual Fervour is simple; all you have to do is interact with theShrine of Adyrfor the first time, and you will get the gesture. For the Laughter gesture, players will have to killCrimson Rector Percivaland complete the first part ofDamarose the Marked’s questline to get it.
After obtaining the gestures, head to theVestige of Betrayed Eliard, known as the Shrine of Adyr. From here, take the left path, go down the ladder, and cross the bridge. You will soon reach an open area in the castle where you may fightThe Lightreaperif you have not defeated him already. Here, you will be able to spot a tree that you can interact with. Perform the Pledge of Adyr gesture to hear a dialogue and initiate the questline.
The main objective of the questline is to find the fiveBlazing Handslocated at different locations and to throw a quest item at them. The first Blazing Hand is located inFief of the Chill Curse. From theVestige of Svornilhead up the stairs and keep going straight until you reach the ladder at the end. Go up the ladder, and on your right at the back, you will find theWintry Ordnancequest item. Right next to the item, you will find the first Blazing Hand on a tree that you have to extinguish using the quest item, which you can put in your hand.
For the second Blazing Hand make your way back to the Shrine of Adyr and head straight and down the ladder. Instead of going across the bridge this time, head into the tunnel on the left andswitch to theUmbral Realm. From here on, you have to hug the right wall at all times until you reach the end of the tunnel. As you exit the tunnel, you will be able to see a tree up ahead with the second Blazing Hand.
Next up is the third Blazing Hand, for which you will have to go to theSkyrest Bridgeand back to thearena where you fightPieta. Go straight here until you reach a door on your left that leads toUpper Calrath. Go down the ladder and use the Umbral Lamp to go through the barred gate. Here, you will see the tree with the Blazing Hand. This is the same area where you fightKukajinif you end up making her hostile.
Now onto the fourth Blazing Hand, you will have to make your way to theVestige of the Bloody PilgriminBramis Castle. Head straight towards the staircase on the left that leads up to the inside of the castle. Once up the staircase, head to the left path that leads to the main room of the castle. Head left here through the fire, for whichyou will have to use your Umbral Lampand change to the Umbral Realm. To open the door up ahead, you will need theRoyal Key, which is located on the 2nd floor of the castle, lying on a bookshelf. Keep going straight past the royal dining room and into the courtyard, where you can find the fourth Blazing Hand.
For the last Blazing Hand, you will have to go to theVestige of Hooded Antuli,which is at theSunless Skein Mines. Open the door on the left of the vestige using theSunless Skein Key. This key is located on top of one of the cages just before theSkinstealerboss fight. Going through the gate, keep heading north until you reach a lava pit, and turn right to go up the ladder twice. Here, you will find the fifth Blazing Hand.
After extinguishing all the Blazing Hands, you will have to go back to the tree you interacted with at the start of the questline and perform the Crimson Ritual Fervour gesture. Doing this will summonGeneral Engstrom, who is the boss affiliated with this questline. Defeating the boss drops the General Engstrom Armor Set and someUmbral Scouring. Additionally, after the boss fight, you can perform the Laughter gesture at the tree to acquireJudgementandPunishmentBoss weapons. These are great hammer weapons that can deal a huge amount of damageif they are upgraded to the max level.
Tips For General Engstrom Boss Fights
General Engstrom is the secret boss who appears at the end of the Blazing Hand questline. The boss is optional in terms of affecting the story, but defeating him is mandatory if you want his Armor set as well as both of his weapons. General Engstrom is quite an agile foe and can prove troublesome the longer the fight draws out. The boss has a wide arsenal of attacks, such asSlam Attacks,Flame Spikes,Clones, and much more.General Engstrom can engage and disengage quite easilyusing hisDashability, allowing him to stay aggressive and get away when he feels pressured. However, as he wields two hammers, his attack speed is relatively slow, allowing you to dodge his attacks with ease.
Aside from the boss being nimble,he also has quite a lot of health. Because of this,the fight with General Engstrom can take quite a while, and constant spikes and dashing clones can tire out even experienced players.Taking advantage of his slow swinging attacks and observing his dashes can lead to you defeating the boss quicker.
