How to get the sword Falar Aluve from the stone
For Falar Aluve to succumb to your attempts to get it, you can choose as many as 4 paths :
- A single test of increased difficulty for Strength. “Grab the sword with both hands and pull” (DC 15): it is advisable to use buffs/after a successful result, the hero will immediately draw the weapon;
- Test of Religion: “ This seems to be a sacred place…” (DC 15) → “Drop a few drops of blood…” (without rolling a die) – the blade will glow and fly out of the altar;
- Simplified checks for Paladins: “…< i>Think about what ritual might fit the situation” (DC 10 Religions with advantage) – the hero can also guess about the blood sacrifice and receive a sword without dice rolls, or choose the option with a second Charisma check (DC 10);
- Option without checks: stand close to sword and hit any character with Shadowheart's hand (or herself with any ally) so that the blood gets on the altar and causes an impulse from the sword → then click on the blade – in the dialogue, Falar Aluve will immediately feel the call of blood and fly out of the stone, as after checking for Religion.
It is better to choose the Religion check and perform the ritual, as it will bring + 30 thousand experience for Shadowheart for unlocking her Inspirational Event (if she's in the party).
Who is it suitable for and how to use Falar Aluve
Falar Aluwe is a rather remarkable weapon, opening up several additional actions and activated skills for attack, crowd control and support of allies for the owner. Another plus is its fencing properties, which a very limited number of longswords in the game have and will be useful to units with bonuses to this type of combat. The blade will play perfectly in the hands of classes for close combat:

- Priest of the “Domain of War.”
But you don’t have to focus on the class and give it to any character with the ability to carry long swords – even in the hands of a support or mage, the sword will be useful in the right situation for the entire pack at once.
