Every sword location, with a route cue
STAINLESS EXTINCTION confirms a seven-sword collection goal. The supplied current-release recording captures every pickup; this page keeps the route cue, region and timestamp together, without inventing damage numbers or a tier list.
The seven recorded swords

- 1. Akai's First Blade — opening cave; automatic story pickup (00:03).
- 2. Asteron Meteorrend — Dry Canyons; early boss-reward route (00:53).
- 3. Greybone Greatsword — Great Lake exploration route (02:14).
- 4. Resonant Edge — Darkclaws Forest boss-reward route (03:40).
- 5. Noharu Flamborne — Red Ash's Swamp boss-reward route (04:25).
- 6. Ancient Greatsword — Red Ash's Swamp exploration route (05:56).
- 7. Akai Chainbound — after AKAI TSUKI at Peak of the Ancients (07:15).
Sword-by-sword route cues
The recording provides route evidence, not a numerical weapon ranking. Follow the nearest visible landmark and use the timestamp when a route cue is not enough.
- Akai's First Blade: received in the opening cave; no detour is required. Timestamp 00:03.
- Asteron Meteorrend: recorded in Dry Canyons on the early boss-reward route. Timestamp 00:53.
- Greybone Greatsword: recorded as an exploration pickup in Great Lake. Timestamp 02:14.
- Resonant Edge: recorded on the Darkclaws Forest boss-reward route. Timestamp 03:40.
- Noharu Flamborne: recorded on the Red Ash's Swamp boss-reward route. Timestamp 04:25.
- Ancient Greatsword: in Red Ash's Swamp, take the river-right route into the dry ground and follow it to the sword set in rock. Timestamp 05:56. The supplied material records a critical-damage effect after a deflect; menu values still need capture.
- Akai Chainbound: defeat AKAI TSUKI at Peak of the Ancients. Timestamp 07:15. The supplied material records a dark-energy wave after a completed combo; exact trigger conditions still need a menu or controlled-combat capture.
Route priority: which sword to get when

KASEI weapons (non-sword drops)
- Ankylosaurid Club: KASEI Phase 1 weapon — not collectible, boss-only.
- Giant Cleaver: KASEI Phase 2 weapon — not collectible, boss-only.
- A new weapon appears past the breakable rock after KASEI before the Demo endpoint; exact name needs current build menu capture.
Collection and Boss Rush links
The STAINLESS EXTINCTION achievement confirms a full 7-sword collection target. Boss Rush also makes weapon comfort matter because your choice carries into the mode. Plan your detours around your current boss, not around completionism.
