So I got my legendary sword the other day and finally got it to 280 light only to find no real guide on where to go for a couple parts of the quest as it does get a little confusing. So I'll leave this here for you guys. Hope it helps
Step 1: get sword to 280 light, doing this also unlocks another sheathed perk so be sure to learn that. Then talk to shaxx
Step 2: shaxx will tell you some crap about needing to fuel the blade or something but this is pretty straight forward. 50 majors, 25 guardians using the sword. The majors aren't so bad just make sure you get the kill and go camp yellows. The 3 major knights in cosmodrome is a good spot
Killing guardians with the sword I recommend going in with 2 buddies and murdering them repeatedly in rumble. You will have it done in 1-2 games. Tip: you don't need the sword charged in crucible to get kills with it.
Step 3: shaxx wants you to go to the asylum on dreadnaut and kill a badass knight with your sword. This is tricky and I had a hard time getting here.
Basically head through the mosoleum to the founts. Inside the founts drop down the crypts and head right. You'll see a small hole in the wall. Go through there and turn left into the big room with the spiral cork thing and a huge door at the end.
This door is guarded by three "warden knights." This part is easier to do with a fireteam but you can do it solo. Basically burn all 3 down until they're almost dead. Then kill them all within a few seconds. They must die around the same time or the door won't open.
Once the door opens kill the mobs in the next room until the big guy with the sword comes. Then murder him with yours.
Step 4: this is the longest part of the quest. Shaxx wants you to attune the sword to you while finding super rare material for it. This will vary based on the damage type you picked. I picked solar.
If you picked solar like me you will have to get kills with your solar abilities while farming for these rare materials inside of helium containers. Basically old school material farm and kill stuff with your melee and nades. It takes a few hours so its super grindey.
Once you get your elemental materials and ability kills done you will go to shaxx and he will tell you he had to order some stuff and it will be here on arms day. Basically you have to wait til wednesday.
Sorry if I missed some steps but hope this helps. Good luck guardians :)

From what I've been reading on reddit an hearing around when armsday comes the next step is to kill darkblade an adleg warden of oryx in 30 seconds... an I don't see that happening for a awhile or being possible with anyone's light lvl right now I hope to god I am wrong about this because if not I'll just set the exotic sword bounties away an not do them for a long time if that's the case. I hope that's not a step in the bounty it sounds way to hard to beat! an to began to think of a game plan on how to kill in 30 seconds is beyond me

I chose void, so had to farm Mars, damn sand everywhere. Took me most of the afternoon to complete. Void kills was easier to do, equipped void fangs and camped dark beyond mission.

Bump for later please

Bump for latet

I really wish I hadn't gotten the void one [spoiler]Its on my Titan [/spoiler]
-

Edited by FiftyCaliberr: 9/20/2015 2:23:35 PMCan anyone tell me what material should I gather or look for rare material? I have the arc swords and it's already fully upgraded Can't remember what I material I used to upgrade it
-
What's the material for Arc
-
Do you get to keep the legendary version?
-
When you are farming for the legendary material, relic iron in my case, does it need to be from the iron ore or can it be from chests?

[quote]kill a badass knight[/quote] your borderlands is showing

To know what material to grind for, read the description of the quest. Just finshed getting my material today, can't wait for armsday :)

Here is a simplified version. :) [quote] Step 1: get sword to 280 light, then talk to shaxx. Step 2: shaxx will tell u to kill stuff like enemies and people in the crucible[spoiler] I personally like to whack people with no ammo in the sword in clash for this part [/spoiler] Step 3: shaxx wants you to go to the asylum on dreadnaut and kill a knight with your own sword. Now [b]getting[/b] to him is the tricky part.[spoiler]the stupid door. Look how to get in on YouTube[/spoiler] Step 4: this is the longest part of the quest. Shaxx wants you to basically farm the -blam!- out of a planet depending on what sword u picked. I picked the one with fire. Also u got kill stuff with ur abilities. Its the same thing with the sword.[spoiler]if it fire, you kill with fire[/spoiler] Once u got that done in an hour or 2, go back 2 Daddy Shaxx and wait until armsday helps. Also we don't know if it is the last step ;)[/quote]

Bump for later and get your free snickers bar. Available with or without nuts
-
I am really regretting going for Dark-Drinker as my Titan. 500 void ability kills with no super at my disposal :(
-
My buddies figured out how to get to Ecther (or whatever his name is) completely by mistake yesterday. For anyone stuck on this, the only thing you need to do to open the door is kill each of the nights with it's corresponding elemental shield type. Hope that helps.

Farming for solar abilities and those damn legendary hilium filament shit.
-
Reply please
-
Is it worth it? I have 3 280 swords, don't know if I want to give up an exotic slot up for one though.
-
These swords should have "the life exotic" perk.
-
Once you have a ghost that detects the material you're looking for, equip and aim a sniper rifle. It'll show you where materials are from a wider view and perspective. Almost across the map!

Can i get a bump please?
