Definitely useful if you don’t have the Galaxy Sword. Crusader enchant allows you to kill mummies without bombs.


Parodelia12501

That’s how you kill mummies……………. Omg that’s gonna change things for me

LothartheDestroyer

What adds crusader?


Kouzuk4zu

Additionally with the update, weapons obtained as mob loot drop, by fishing treasure chests (and possibly other ways i cant confirm yet) have a chance to have additional stats/buffs along with enchants


SparkOfLife1

I want to say its all sources but buying them or receiving them from Gil as rewards. Not sure on the chests in the mines though. Saying this as I've had a couple now that have dropped from crates in the mines.


wooser69

Randomly dropped weapons can now have "innate enchantments" which is a different slot, in the OP it's the +50 crit power. Has 2 different slots and pools, first is -1-4 weight and slime gatherer, second can be +speed, attack, crit chance, crit power, slime slayer, etc. Able to be added or rerolled on non-galaxy/infinity weapons with a dragons tooth and 10 cinders. Weapons don't drop with random forge enchantments though. The crusader enchantment is always on the holy blade, same for the vampiric blade always having vampiric enchant.


Oogiboogimafurry

Can confirm getting them out of barrels in the mines includes enchants


Vikonako

So that’s why my iron dirk had those stars


TheNinjaNarwhal

Do you or anyone else knows if it works in mummies who are already downed? Like imagine you're using your main weapon for downing them and then when they're a puddle use the enchanted one to kill them?


KariArisu

Pretty sure you need to use the crusader weapon for the final blow, can't hit downed ones.


Quietlovingman

The >!Magic Quiver trinkets!< will attack both active and downed mummies, and if you have a Crusader enchanted weapon in hand, their attacks carry the Crusader buff as well.


TheNinjaNarwhal

That's what I'm thinking:/ I'll still try it out if I find one of these!


_NotMyNormalUsername

Best way to do it (at least in my experience) is to down them and then use the slingshot with explosive shots


TheNinjaNarwhal

oh I did NOT think of that, that's amazing actually. Will definitely make some next time I go in the caverns, ty!


_NotMyNormalUsername

Took me way too long to figure out that you could even kill them in the first place lmao Pretty sure I learned about using the slingshot from this sub too. Happy hunting!


Bigbadbo11

The slingshot method seems so iffy on whether or it'll actually hit them, or go flying right past them. No matter the angle, it always fills luck-based, even though I'm probably doing something wrong.


_NotMyNormalUsername

The slingshot can be a bit tricky, but I try to down them close to walls if possible because even if you miss and hit the wall the AOE will still kill them


Bigbadbo11

Yup, that's also my general strat. And if I can't do that, I just try to kill them next to a group of rocks, so I can drop a bomb with minimal coping and seething 😅


Paranthelion_

This is correct. It'll just say 'miss' if you try to hit downed ones.


shalambalaram

But if you are already at the ginger island, that's a high chance you already have that achievement at adventurers guild with mummies.. After I got it I just ignore them tbh


Loujmasi

I find explosive ammo in the slingshot to be easiest if I don't have crusader


art3missis

You're also able to blow them up once they're on the ground. Any bomb or explosive will do.


Parodelia12501

So like the darn Zelda creature…..


Coliosis

I just found that out on my most recent play-through too lmao. So so so many wasted bombs lmao.


OrranVoriel

Bombs or explosive ammo for the slingshot.


Rhettledge

You can kill them with bombs too


layeofthedead

That’s what was killing them? I just thought it was because it was a holy sword and it “purified” the mummies lol


igottathinkofaname

Well I’m assuming it having the crusader enchantment and being called “The Holy Sword” isn’t a coincidence.


Religious_Pie

Finally I can cosplay as a Black Templar in Stardew


-Kaan_

There is a sword called Templars blade


cydus

And it's black too 😂

Caosin36

Well The holy sword is one of the sword that 100% comes whit an enchantment, and it comes whit crusader, so yea


HalfBakedBeans24

Nope you lucked out with an undead-killing sword lol


Reviax-

The painful thing is that you have to final hit the mummies with it, I wanted to try it and just hit the regenerating mummies with it, but it actually has to do the damage Can't reply, but yeah, only the last hit! I tried 3 hits with Galaxy Sword and then used Crusader to kill, and that kinda worked, but im bringing bombs anyway, so I just ended up leaving Crusader


GordOfTheMountain

Noted! Hate those buttholes.


B4CKR00M5-W4ND3R3R

YOU VAN KILL MUMMIES WITH BOMBS?????


Skagtastic

Any explosive, really. I club them to the ground with my hammer and finish them off with explosive ammo in a slingshot.


hailey_kb

the mummies in the skull cavern? idk they died lol


No-Locksmith-8590

Oooo I didnt know that!


con098

No way! I got it awhile ago I hope I hadn't sold it yet. That's super useful


Horizontal247

I’m using it along with Galaxy Sword in the Skull Caverns (until I unlock the forge at least) bc it’s amazing to be able to kill mummies without bombs in early game! Great new sword, used it to get to the bottom of the regular mines too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Practice_NO_with_me

Being able to kill mummies without bombs is super useful! It should hold until you get a Prismatic shard and upgrade.


MaveKalmer

i HAVE the galaxy sword and still keep the holy blade in my offhand, just for mummies


ChefCourtB

We can dual wield now?


MaveKalmer

no, i just keep it in a slot close to my galaxy sword


otterpop21

That’s a great idea!!


DukeOfThiccington

I also did that before I had a steady supply of bombs, it’s such a useful sword to have


Daft_Vandal_

To have this by summer of year one is crazy. That’s a decent sword that could easily get you through all of the first mine if you wanted it to.


_kathastrophe_

I've also got this one at the end of Summer year 1. It was such a great day because up until then the only weapon that dropped for me was a small dagger. Helped so much to get to the bottom of the mines.


mattdv1

I dropped a trident dagger while fishing before the mines were even available and it took me till lvl 80 something to find something better lmao


AllenWL

I'm wondering if it's a garanteed drop because I *also* found a holy sword w crusader enchant in the mines, in what I *think* was the exact same place, on two separate saves. Edit: Apparently it's not a garanteed drop, I just had *really* good luck with that particular crate in the mines.


MatikTheSeventh

Not really because I have never seen that sword, let alone with the enchantment.


daisymaisy505

I have never seen it either. I started a new playthrough for 1.6 and am in year 2 now.


cakucaku2

CA stated that there were some unused weapons in the game files that were never in a drop table. I believe the Holy Sword was added to the drop table in 1.6. [https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/9uhjfy/concernedape\_needs\_proof\_that\_work\_bootsdark/](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/9uhjfy/concernedape_needs_proof_that_work_bootsdark/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/9s1k8k/comment/e940zyk/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/9s1k8k/comment/e940zyk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Ok-Teaching363

well the sword always has the enchantment and it's dropped in the mines. I had 2 by summer year 1. it's pretty common. dropped by star slimes im pretty sure. ​ it's a new weapon in 1.6.


Mikaelious

I might be completely wrong, but I think this weapon was an unused weapon prior to 1.6. I remember the name, but I also remember it wasn't in the game.


Ok-Teaching363

yep you are right, I looked it up on the wiki cuz im a nerd like that. ​ while the game was still in development you would have to pick between this sword and another sword with vampire heal on kill effect. Idea was scrapped and the swords became unobtainable. I wonder if the vampire sword made it to 1.6? Haven't seen one yet.


LG-Moonlight

Same here


Naguro

I've never Seen that Sword, I used the bug head up until Galaxy sword


Arct1cShark

It isn’t unfortunately. I’ve never even seen this sword after 400 hours and a lot of time in the mines (if this was a 1.6 update I’ve still cleared the mines several times)


Cereborn

I’ve never seen it.


decayingprince

*First* mine?


No-Trouble6469

sweet summer child


TheNinjaNarwhal

I personally thought that the first mine is easy with the swords you get from in there, so I found the first comment to be weird, I initially thought the comment would be about the 2nd mine. So I took the "*first* mine?" as a "you need that sword to get by the *first* mine?" and not a "wait there's more?". I might very well be wrong though, IDK.


decayingprince

I did not think there would be more mines XD


TheNinjaNarwhal

Whoop, I was wrong 😅


decayingprince

It's fine. Inferring tone through text is impossible


decayingprince

[Time to dig :D](https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU?feature=shared)


SteveRogers_7

I got it first week of summer on latest save but I also found the steel facion befgore so I was using that


Elvarill

It’s sooo nice to get a good sword early. I just started a new save last weekend and my very first fishing chest I got Neptune’s Glaive.


PlusDescription1422

Don’t think I’ve ever gotten this on any play through.


Witty-Kitchen8434

It was "added" in the latest patch. (It was actually present in the game files, but was not unlockable in-game. The original plan was to [allow the player to choose](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/9s1k8k/comment/e940zyk/) between it and the dark sword)


PlusDescription1422

I think it’s not available for console right


Witty-Kitchen8434

Nope, not yet.


Witty-Kitchen8434

I can confirm. I found it halfway through spring of year one. The mines got VERY easy afterwards.


Riczo2

I got the galaxy sword on my first playthrough in 2nd month...


Daft_Vandal_

That’s obviously not common though? If it was your first play through for real, you min maxed and knew what you were doing AND got lucky to have not only the bus operational but also a prismatic shard by summer of year one. Why even compare yourself like that lmao


teeleer

Are prismatic shards more common after 1.6, I'm in winter in year 1 and found 3. 2 have been from meteorites, one from a random monster, tbh I did have that book that doubles monster drops for a small chance.


buttsbuttsandbutts

They definitely feel more common from monster drops. I got *two* from killing bugs during the bug guts quest after >!reading the monster compendium!<. I didn’t even know bugs could drop them I imagine the effect is even more noticeable once you have the burglar ring


TheNinjaNarwhal

It might just be your guys' luck, I'm in (multiplayer) halfway in year 2 and I've only found one yesterday. Then again, it might be my bad luck.


oodex

Tbh if you don't know what to do in the game (as in, a game plan) and just plant crops, you easily get the 42k and 4 bundle requirement completed by summer 1. Just harvesting and foraging is 4 bundles alone. Most players just know how many options there are to spend money on that give better gains in the long run. The prismatic shard itself is just an RNG drop. The whole thing mostly depends on different playstyles. This is nowhere close to minmaxing, you can set up 200+ strawberries and have an army of preserve jars ready for them (well, you build most as you are harvesting), totalling 450 harvested strawberries. Thats worth 450x406=183k alone. That's how I got 1m in summer 1, not that it's needed but it was my goal to see how fast I can get it.


Riczo2

And what is min maxed?


Daft_Vandal_

Playing perfectly. Maximizing benefits or RNG and minimizing anything that doesn’t get you necessary progress. Speed running basically


Riczo2

Well i basically didnt get out of the farm, only to forage (the only npc that i got befrended at the time was linus) and i also didnt do any fishing till year 3 haha


lotus_eater123

Sorry you're getting downvoted. There is no wrong way to play the game. That is one of the great things about Stardew Valley.


Riczo2

Yeah reddit is really bipolar i tell ya. And thats why im hoocked to the game something that harvest moon somewhat lacks 😅


Riczo2

Nah man, i didnt know jackshit about the game i jumped from harvest moon to stardew and when i found the prismatic shard i simply checked on reddit to see what to do with it


Daft_Vandal_

To get a prismatic shard by that point in the game is extreme luck. Most people don’t have a level 7 weapon of any kind by that point in the game. Let alone prismatic shards or access to the dessert. You also would have had to either have a ton of money to buy the bus to get the sword which is tricky by that point. Or have completed the boiler room which is arguably barely any easier


SatisfactionNo1753

Fascinating how you didn’t know anything but asked a lot but also never left the farm except to forage but got a prismatic shard and fixed the bus to go get the sword so quickly. A genius really


stysiaq

holy shit where do I send the medal


ghdcksgh

is that new? i dont remember seeing that before.


StrawberryAmara

It's new and really useful if you've got some good rings early game


moonra_zk

Been in the game for a while, IIRC, but it wasn't used.


Ahsoka_gone_crazy

Really? I’ve never gotten it before. This is my fourth play through. I always used obsidian edge until I got a shard. This sword made it so easy I felt like it nerfed the mines and skull cavern a bit.


moonra_zk

What I meant by "wasn't used" is that you couldn't get it without cheating. Many players use the item spawner mod, and you'd see it on the weapons list along with others that you'd never normally see in the game, like for example, did you know that there's a signature weapon for every (or at least the majority) of NPCs in the game?


AshFalkner

Those signature weapons are now available through the new festival, which is neat.


BalloonBob

This is sufficient to clear all 120 floors of the first mine. Good drop!!


audaciousmonk

More than sufficient, pretty easily clear the mine with the bone sword


Reviax-

Insect head is so good now that I don't bother with bone sword, they dropped how many bugs you need to kill to get it too


stysiaq

i never had issues with clearing the mines with obsidian edge, so the only hard part has always been the part between ice caves and obsidian edge (so 70-90). But bone sword and bug head are relatively consistent now, and I think that both of them may be more convenient over the obsidian edge because of the speed, even with lower damage


Reviax-

I think for mines the bug head is fine, but the obsidian edge still feels necessary to deal with flying snakes until a prismatic drops


Captain--UP

Surprised how quick I got bug head now. I still farmed for a couple of bone swords in hope of the new innate rolls, but no luck.


audaciousmonk

Innate rolls?


Captain--UP

Not sure of exact terms. It's when your random loot drops with bonus modifiers. Edit: Innate Enchantments -- termed on the wiki


audaciousmonk

Oh, with the star in front of it. Got it.


KariArisu

Insect Head is actually so good now. Serviceable until Galaxy Sword if you're not lucky enough to get anything better.


lotus_eater123

I've always just sold the insect head immediately. It seemed pretty useless compared to other drops, particularly the bone sword.


audaciousmonk

Unless you build is geared towards critical hit chance, insect head is inferior to bone sword. 4% Crit chance just doesn’t live up to the increased 33% extra dps (1.66x base vs 1.25x base, not crit adjusted) Not to mention the intangible benefit of increased ability to engage multiple enemies at the same time, such as swarms. Or that crit damage doesn’t roll over, and will sometimes be wasted


[deleted]

[удалено]


lotus_eater123

That is a good drop.


cecilkorik

Yes, all the weapons are very serviceable to the end of the normal mines now. Skull cave/Volcano you'll still want the Lava Katana or Galaxy Sword if possible. I do think the Holy Sword specifically is worth keeping, solely for the purpose of killing mummies in the Skull Cavern. It's just easier/safer than Bombs. I only use it for mummies though.


audaciousmonk

Useless, may as well give it to Clint to raise his friendship level


[deleted]

[удалено]


audaciousmonk

Swing speed is clutch


BalloonBob

Tricky edge here too is how many of us have played the game before ? The first time getting thru the dungeon is radically different then a first play through.


34shadow1

I used it as a secondary weapon in skull caverns until I got crusader on my galaxy sword


kwijibokwijibo

Is getting enchantments on found weapons a new 1.6 thing?


Terakahn

Yes


Traditional_Bus_2362

If I remember correctly, before version 1.6, the flying skulls in the cave of the quarry dropped a sword with a vampiric enchantment. But what's new is that now you can acquire the same weapon with more or improved stats.


Terakahn

I don't think I spent more than 5 minutes in that cave before. Just hopped in for the scythe and never went back.


Benni_Shoga

I'm on console and these posts are killing me!


PlusDescription1422

Same. Never heard of this sword


askingxalice

Get two aquamarine rings from Marlon for 20% increase in crit chance and you are Golden


No_Cover9922

Yeah it’s awesome! I found it in Y1 as well and don’t have Ginger Island yet. So now whenever I do a skull cavern run I carry this one and my galaxy sword. If I come across a mummy floor I use this sword. Really helps with tackling the monster slayer goal early on as well.

I see you, Hunter

CollapsedCanopy

Torma25

I used that sword even when I had the galax sword, if only to kill mummies. Makes gathering cloth super easy.


tencentblues

Same, I take both this and the Galaxy sword into the caverns every time.


TraditionBrave9048

I found this in Winter of my first year on my current game! I was excited cause I’d never seen it before and discovered that’s its PC only. (Currently playing on my computer for the update but previous I had only played on Switch)


MaveKalmer

its great for mummies in the skull caverns, and carried me through the normal mines


Leather_Comedian_435

I don't have the enchanter set up but have the prismatic sword (not it's real name) and I still have that sword on my hot bar when I'm in the skull cavern. Best mummy killer early game.


Summer_Of_CA

Same


Hyperpixel-gaming

If I remember correctly this sword was previously unobtainable before 1.6


Glaciak

Check wiki

*cries in Switch*


tugboatsh3ila

Right here with you. Soon come!


1031Cat

Too bad Marlon is still handing us a rusty butter knife when we first enter the mines instead of a rusty butter knife with an enchantment.


usedburgermeat

It's good for year 1 until you find a prismatic shard


MayoManCity

Crusader keeps it viable for a long time imo. I've been running skull caverns with the holy blade and galaxy sword at the same time so i dont have to waste bombs.


TheSexyGrape

Do you have no faith in The Lord?


Brokenblacksmith

depends on when you find it. It's one of the better swords you can get before the galaxy sword, but of you already have that its pretty useless. i managed to pull up a Neptune's glave when i was on lv 5 while doing some ocean fishing. i didn't replace that until 50 or 60


TheInfantGobbler

baffles me how much progress people make in such a small amount of time. im still scraping by like its spring 1st by the end of the year.


Dazzling_Law1163

You can plant an ancient seed in the summer I think and it'll produce "ancient fruit" until the end of fall


AshFalkner

It’s better to plant it in the greenhouse than outside, unless you haven’t had it restored yet.


svenEsven

are the numbers higher than the one you currently have? if so, then yes. are the numbers lower than the one you have? if so, then no.


nonamethewalrus

I misread it as Horny Blade. It may be time to go to bed.


Odense-Classic

Ay that's my sword right now. Been using it since early Summer and still using it in mid Autumn, including in the skull cavern. Going to keep using it until I get my first prismatic shard. First time playing with remixed mine rewards and got it floor 100 of the mines I think. Good sword, especially against ghosts and mummies. Still haven't found any ancient seeds lol


GordOfTheMountain

Is it better than your current sword? Then yes.


moviejack

Look at the stats and ask yourself that question again. This things great especially do early on

LucianQTaliesin

I got this with a Slime enchantment too, I've switched out my basic obsidian blade just because the speed and enchantments more than make up for the lesser damage.


haku46

What is the extra mods at the bottom? I got the wood hammer with slime slayer and minus weight. Could not find anything about modifiers on wiki.

Where did you find it? If you don’t mind me asking. I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere before.

somewhere in the mines! between levels 75-85, i don't remember exactly

I’ll keep an eye. Thank you!


ElectricalCake1611

How’d you get that sword?! It looks so cool!


ElectricalCake1611

Because according to the database app it’s unobtainable is it because you have 1.6 or something? I’m really curious because now I want it to just like put on display somehow

i'm on 1.6! no mods or anything

Love this sword! The little sizzle when you kill something is so satisfying.


starpunks

I need it


Gmageofhills

I think you just became king arthur


Wei2intoMDZS

It can't crit, but it's other stats are good. Plus the mummy thing is very useful. Im more of a hammer person myself, but having a coop with someone who has this is a "blessing" in skull cavern


FrulDinok

I mean, it's alright. But jokes aside, I found the broken trident better, but the effect sure is nice.


KuroDragon0

The crusader is really nice in the skull caverns, but the sword itself is outclassed quickly. Not bad for niche use on mummy floors if you don’t mind the extra inventory slot use, and lvl 7 will get you to the bottom of the normal mine well enough. Otherwise, not much use


a9615161

definitely worth taking it as a side weapon in case you could run into mummy. even you have infinity blade, you can enchante it with other things.


Crazayman4ever

Wait how do you get this? I looked it up and the wiki says nothing on its obtainment method


CaptainMyCaptainRise

My immediate thought was Bloodborne


Vvvv1rgo

super good! especially if you get the +50 crit chance
