ecto69 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) TITLE:How to get Shard Blade on NG++ and/or even on NG For some reason on my PS3 run I did not get the Shard Blade, drop from the Reaver. So again trying for it on NG++ with a close to 2 hit instant kill weapon/gear. Note: you need to wait until the monsters gets up on two hind legs and rips off the blade to use it. I did a google search and you need to perfect guard/stagger it 3 times, and also have beggars beads to increase odds. It was impossible to keep it alive for 3 staggers, so I switched from upgraded weapon to a 70 strength (weakest one I had) and had to fight it for a long time, as I am not that good at PG (Perfect Guard) but finally got it. The key is to make sure you actually see the Blade broken, this occurs after 3rd stagger/PF. Not sure how important , however after first stagger, the monster will toss some fire balls at Light , three times, and then after that it will start using the sword. Best guess is that the monsters big attack can not be used to get stagger. There are faster ways to do it, just need to perfect your perfect guard technique.
