Where to Find the Frozen Anguish Sword in Crimson Desert

Cleaving your way through swarms of enemies in Crimson Desert will drain your stamina bar quickly, and you’ll need to periodically take breaks to let it regenerate, or use stamina-replenishing consumables such as honey tea.

Luckily, there’s a much more efficient, and lethal, answer to your stamina struggles, as the two-handed sword, frozen anguish, has the ability to siphon stamina from your foes.

In this guide, I’ll show you where to find the frozen anguish sword, and how to retrieve it.

How to Get the Frozen Anguish Sword

Dress warm, Greymane, it’s about to get cold. The area we’ll be traveling to permeates a frigid aura that will leave you frozen solid—especially if your ice resistance is low.

There will also be flying mages casting ice spells from above, so I suggest equipping armor that will protect you from the cold, such as the frostcursed armor set, which is seen in the picture above.

Frozen Anguish Sword Location

The frozen anguish sword can be found in the spire of frost, which is located North of Demeniss, seen above.

Look for the giant tower (seen above) and head towards it to locate the door on ground-level.

How to Get Inside the Spire of Frost

There is an abyss nexus directly in front of the spire of frost (South), which is exactly where Kliff is standing in the picture above. The arrow highlights a staircase that leads to the main door, which is where you need to go.

Locate the abyss nexus and unlock it, and walk up the staircase.

The main door will be sealed when you arrive, and in order to open it, you’ll need to break the ice off the stone lantern seen in the picture above. This stone lantern is located right outside the main door, and you can break the ice with heavy attacks.

Once the ice has been removed, relight the lantern, and the door will open.

Find the Treasure Chest Under the Stairs

When you enter the spire, the first thing you’ll see is the base of the spiral staircase in the picture above. The frozen anguish sword is in a treasure chest hidden behind the spiral staircase, highlighted by the arrow in the picture above.

Go behind the staircase and open the treasure chest to retrieve the frozen anguish sword, seen above.

This sword may be tricky to retrieve amidst mage attacks and sub-zero temperatures, but it’s definitely worth it, and it has quickly become one of my favorite two-handed weapons.

The frozen anguish sword comes with increased attack speed, an attack stat of 25 that can be increased through refinement, and level one stamina siphon, which drains stamina from your targets so you can keep swinging until your heart’s content.
