The Obsidian Lamina is a Reaper-class weapon introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This sleek, scythe-like weapon specializes in dealing with physical damage and inflicting high blood loss buildup, making it deadly in dexterity-based builds. The Dynastic Sickleplay weapon skill gives players an evasive backstep followed by powerful slashing attacks, adding a tactical element to combat.

How to Obtain the Obsidian Lamina

You can obtain the Obsidian Lamina by retrieving it from Enir-Ilim's Gate of Divinity, located at the top level of the legacy dungeon. This item becomes available only after fully completing Ansbach's questline.

Steps to Get the Obsidian Lamina

Complete Ansbach's Questline:

Ensure you follow through with all steps of Ansbach's storyline, including any dialogue and quest events with Freyja and Leda in Shadow Keep. If you end his questline early by defeating him in Shadow Keep, you won't be able to get the Obsidian Lamina.

Progress Through the Enir-Ilim Legacy Dungeon:

Make your way to the Gate of Divinity, the site of grace, found at the summit of Enir-Ilim. You'll need to navigate the upper levels of the dungeon and defeat challenging enemies along the way.

Summon Ansbach for the Final Boss Fight:

At the door to the Final Boss of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, summon Ansbach as an ally. Completing the fight with him alive ensures the glowing item appears afterward.

Claim the Obsidian Lamina:

After defeating the final boss, head east from the Gate of Divinity site of grace. Look for a glowing item resting at the foot of a nearby stone wall. Picking this up will reward you with the Obsidian Lamina.
