Sanguine Reach FAQ

How do you get Sanguine Reach?

From a weapon rack behind Forge's smithy at the Mandate outpost in Weeping Creek Valley, between the Jagged Steel and Peng Meng fights. At level 1 its card reads Damage 200 and Guard Break 100; level 2 costs 2 Broadplate Metal, 1 Solvent and 990 Remnant Dust, level 3 4 Broadplate Metal, 2 Solvent and 1,485.

Who made Sanguine Reach?

Forge, the smith who also made Sanguine Twin. Both are modelled on Sanguine, the blade Soul carried as a Will of the Order: the twins for speed, the long blade for reach.

What does Sanguine Reach's L2 do?

Its Power Surge, Longblade Chain Slash, spends 1 Sha-Chi Essence on a series of long-blade strikes that cannot be blocked. The 2025 demo card described it as a run of wide swings using the blade's reach and weight, which makes it the Sanguine to hold when several enemies come at once.

Is Sanguine Reach a polearm?

No. The 2025 demo card called it a polearm form, but the final game lists it as a Two-Handed weapon and its card describes a two-handed long blade, upgraded with Broadplate Metal like the other Two-Handed weapons.

Is Sanguine Reach slower than Sanguine?

Yes, by design: its card says it gives up speed for extended reach and extra weight. Sanguine Twin goes the other way, trading reach for speed.

What Sanguine Reach does

A two-handed long blade crafted by Forge from the same materials as Sanguine. Designed for wide, sweeping strikes, it cuts through crowds with overwhelming force.
