Antumbra's Sword is an enigmatic dark entity world boss found in the Hernand region, manifesting as a sentient weapon of immense dark power. This optional encounter pits players against a massive spectral blade surrounded by a vortex of shadow energy. Its origins are believed to be the weapon of a dark lord named Antumbra, whose will persisted after his destruction. The sword now acts autonomously, driven by echoes of its former master's desire for conquest.

Combat against Antumbra's Sword is unique, as it fights with fluid, precise swordsmanship without a physical body. It can teleport, launch crescent-shaped waves of dark energy, and create phantom duplicates. At critical health, it unleashes an expanding dome of darkness. Vanquishing it rewards rare dark-attuned materials and weapon components.

Located at the Sanctum of Absolution in Hernand, Antumbra's Sword is known for its challenging attacks. Using Blinding Flash is recommended to cancel its Ground Thrust and triple Shadow Strike. Victory rewards the Vessel of Dark Pursuit two-handed sword.
