Queen’s Domain: All 5 Starter Weapon Locations

1. Follow the path in front of you until you reach a small area.
2. Turn right toward the huge doors.
3. Just before the doors, on the right, two knights sit at a campfire.
4. Talk to the soldier sitting next to the fire to receive the Rusted Short Sword.

Throwing Dagger Belt

Head here as soon as you have the sword. The daggers make early fights much easier.

1. Go to the wooden barricade and break it with two fully charged swings. Hold the attack until the stamina bar turns light blue instead of spamming quick attacks.
2. Just to the left of the barricade is a save pillar. Here you can save, rest, or open the shop. Resting heals you fully, but it also respawns the enemies.
3. From the save pillar, run up the hill and staircase on your left. Hug the right wall and keep going.
4. Go down through the archway to the beach. You’ll pass some Ratty Bugs, but you can run past them.
5. Keep running along the beach until you see two small islands. Jump to the first one, then to the second.
6. The Throwing Dagger Belt hangs from a rope. Press E to take it, then equip it from your inventory.

Throw daggers with Q. They recharge slowly.

Rusted Spear

The Rusted Spear is a pierce weapon kept in a tower above the starting area.

1. Return to the save pillar and climb the staircase again. If you’re coming from the Throwing Dagger Belt, go back the way you came.
2. At the top, take your time and clear out the Ratty Bugs, Forest Eyes, and Chilopoda. Forest Eyes are the flower-like enemies high on walls and structures. One dagger kills them.
3. Enter the tower structure and open the chest to get the Rusted Spear. Equip it.

Break the barrels and pots in the tower for healing and other items. Behind the chest, a skeleton holds an Ancient Coin, the currency used in the shop.

Wooden Club and Endu Shrine Gate Key

Both are in the Crypt. It’s small and easy to get through, but it has plenty of enemies: Ratty Bugs, Chickets, flying enemies, Forest Eyes, and Skeletons. Equip the Rusted Short Sword, the Rusted Spear, and the Throwing Daggers before you go in.

1. Find the Crypt entrance near the big tree with Forest Eyes on it, close to the first door you unlocked with the daggers.
2. Open it the same way as that door: throw a dagger into the diamond-shaped target.
3. Inside, the Forest Eye Room is on the left. Open the chest on the right side to get the Wooden Club.
4. Continue down the Crypt through the Forest Eye Room until you reach the open area.
5. Pick up the Endu Shrine Gate Key, the key for the boss fight.
6. Continue to the lift and ride it up. Leave through the exit using the lever on the left side.

The Crypt also has two secret doors, one of which hides Pandora’s Blade. See Queen’s Domain starting area secrets for both.

Locked Door in the Starting Area

The small locked door near the huge doors and the soldiers’ campfire needs the Throwing Dagger Belt.

1. Start at the barricade you broke. Instead of going left up the staircase, go right and up the incline until it drops off.
2. Land on the big rock below. Clear out the 1 or 2 Ratty Bugs, and throw daggers at the Forest Eyes on the big tree in the middle.
3. From the rock, look for a dark area with the door.
4. Stand on the little rock and throw a dagger into the diamond-shaped target to open the door.

Life Charm in the Crypt

The Life Charm is in a chest in the open area of the Crypt. Stand in front of Crypt Secret Door #2, turn around, and head straight down to the chest. The charm seems to add +12 Life Points while you wear it.

Shrine Guardian Boss Fight and Holy Sword Endu

Go back to the beach where you found the Throwing Dagger Belt. A structure there reaches out to sea. Use the Endu Shrine Gate Key from the Crypt on its gate to start the boss fight.

• The Shrine Guardian is a skeleton, so an impact weapon like the Wooden Club works best. Use your Throwing Daggers too.
• Go slow and keep your distance. You can avoid almost all of his attacks this way.
• When he lifts his sword for the overhead attack, run to either side of him and turn to get behind his back.

After the fight, talk to the Shrine Guardian to receive a Duck Statue. Bring it to a save pillar to unlock the shop. Then continue through the shrine and pick up the Holy Sword Endu just behind the arena. Collecting it also unlocks an achievement.
