How to Obtain Falx

Falx can be acquired by defeating Hornsent, an NPC involved in the Hornsent Questline. Depending on your choices, you can encounter and defeat him in one of three different locations:

Shadow Keep: The earliest chance to obtain the Falx is at the Shadow Keep in front of the Storehouse in the Main Gate Plaza. After you've exhausted all dialogue with Hornsent and Needle Knight Leda, while turning Leda's suspicions toward Hornsent, you'll be able to assist Leda in defeating Hornsent. Completing this encounter rewards you with the Falx and the Hornsent Set of armor.

Ancient Ruins of Rauh: If you miss the encounter in Shadow Keep or side with Hornsent, he will invade you in the Ancient Ruins of Rauh. Defeating him during this invasion will grant you the Falx and the Hornsent Armor Set.

Enir-Ilim: If you haven't faced Hornsent in either of the previous locations, you can encounter him in the Cleansing Chamber of Enir-Ilim. Defeating him here allows you to claim Falx, along with his armor.

Falx Description
