Getting the Sanguine Twin
You do not fight for this one. It is a free pickup: the community database lists it as found in Weeping Creek Valley, and GameAY's weapon compendium puts it the same way, as picked up in the starting area of the game. No boss is linked to it and nothing has to be unlocked first — Weeping Creek Valley is the first region on this site's boss list.
It counts as a Dual-Wield Blade on the Blade roster. The Chinese wiki calls the same weapon 黑伤双刃, the black-wound twin blades.
What it does in a fight
The community database figures for the launch build, current as of 2026-11-05:
| Level 1 | Soul-Tempered | |
|---|---|---|
| Damage | 200 | 324 |
| Guard break | 100 | 120 |
Both GamesDB.gg and the Chinese wiki list the same Soul-Tempered pair, so those are the numbers to plan around once you temper it. GamesDB.gg ranks the Blade Common.
It is a speed weapon. The community database describes a pair of short-handed blades crafted by Forge from the same material as Sanguine, whose attacks fall like rain and are unmatched in speed: rapid standard combos with Sha-Chi enhancements, plus the Dual-Blade Flurry skill. Because it is a starting-area pickup, it is the cheapest way into a dual-wield build and the natural hit-count weapon for a player who wants constant offence from the first chapter.
Moves: Standard Combo, Sha-Chi Combo and Dual-Blade Flurry.
Taking it to level 30
| Level | Perk |
|---|---|
| Lv. 5 (+4) | Chi-Infused Blade |
| Lv. 10 (+9) | Shadow Execution Lv. 1 |
| Lv. 15 (+14) | Relentless Pursuit |
| Lv. 20 (+19) | Shadow Execution Lv. 2 |
| Lv. 25 (+24) | Blades at Will |
| Lv. 30 (+29) | Shadow Execution Lv. 3 |
The published perk list names the unlocks but not what each one changes, so read the effect on the upgrade screen before you spend. The Sha-Chi guide covers the bar the Sha-Chi Combo spends, and weapon types explains what a twin-wield pair gives up against a one-hander.
What the upgrade ladder costs
The track runs 59 steps from level 1 to level 60 and costs Remnant Dust plus a metal and a solvent:
| Metal | Solvent |
|---|---|
| Twinned Metal | Solvent |
| Polished Twinned Metal | Concentrated Solvent |
| Flawless Twinned Metal | Universal Solvent |
The published figures put the whole +1 to +59 ladder at 2,507,805 Remnant Dust, on top of those three metal and solvent tiers.
Soul Tempering
Shadowless Edge — a Chaos Twin Daggers and 5,000 Remnant Dust. Soul Tempering unlocks at Chapter 4 and happens at Myst in the Order's underground tavern in Pangzhen, and it cannot be undone.
