All Aecides' Domain Templar of the Sacred Steel Locations: Aecides Of

Discover the locations of all Templars of the Sacred Steel in Blades of Fire. Learn how to find Iridescent Crows and defeat these challenging enemies with our detailed guide.

This guide details the locations of the Templars of the Sacred Steel in Blades of Fire. Most Templars require you to find and follow an Iridescent Crow to their spawn point. Attacking the stationary statues will make the crow appear on your map. Once the crow reaches the statues, they will materialize, initiating a battle against one to three Templars of the Sacred Steel.

Templars of the Sacred Steel are formidable foes wielding Katanas. They telegraph powerful, relentless combos. Recommended strategies include using a Spear (like the Trident) for charged attacks from a distance, followed by a roll to evade counterattacks. Alternatively, use fast weapons like Sabers or Daggers, baiting attacks, dodging, landing a few hits, and retreating. When their stamina is depleted, they kneel to recover, leaving them vulnerable to multiple charge attacks.
