The Pandora Blade is a hidden weapon in Queen’s Domain, and I found it near the beginning of the game. It starts with low damage, but it has a unique movement technique that lets you cover long distances with well-timed jumps and dashes. You can also level it up to 100, making it one of the game’s most unusual weapons.
How to Get the Pandora Blade in Queen’s Domain
You can find the Pandora Blade in the ruins on the Isle of Neasied. If you have already reached this starting area, you can skip the early preparation and head straight to the ruins.
Step 1: Get the Dagger Belt
Start a new game or return to the Isle of Neasied if you have already progressed beyond the starting area.
Pick up the Rusted Short Sword, then collect the Dagger Belt. You will need Throwing Daggers to activate a switch that opens the entrance to the ruins.
Step 2: Open the Ruins
Head toward the area with the large tree. Look for the switch that opens the door to the ruins.
Use your Throwing Daggers to hit the switch and open the entrance. Go inside and continue exploring until you reach the room containing the Endu Shrine Gate Key.
Step 3: Find the Hidden Room
Once you reach the room with the Endu Shrine Gate Key, inspect the wall on the right side.
Look for a broken stone brazier or pedestal with shrubs nearby. Interact with the wall beside this spot to reveal the hidden entrance.
Go through the opening to reach the secret area.
Step 4: Collect the Pandora Blade
Explore the hidden room to find the Pandora Blade and a humorous JoJo-inspired Easter egg featuring skeletons.
Pick up the weapon to add it to your collection. You can obtain it early in the game, so you do not need to wait until the later areas to find it.
Pandora Blade Stats
The Pandora Blade starts with lower damage than the Rusted Short Sword, but its special movement properties make it worth finding.
| Stat | Details |
|---|---|
| Starting Power | 5 |
| Rusted Short Sword Power | 7 |
| Speed | Average |
| Moveset | Lunging Stab |
| Maximum Level | 100 |
| Main Advantage | Repeated aerial dashes and momentum-based jumps |
The Pandora Blade does not transform into a different weapon when you reach Level 100. Instead, its damage increases as you level it up.
How to Use the Pandora Blade’s Secret Technique
The Pandora Blade preserves a movement trick that was available with the Rusted Sword in the game’s demo. This technique can help you cross gaps and reach places that would normally require additional movement abilities.
Follow these steps to perform the technique:
- Use the lunge attack: Press your right-click attack button to perform the weapon’s lunge.
- Watch the blade: Wait until the character begins pulling the blade back after the attack.
- Jump at the right moment: Press the jump button just as the blade starts returning.
- Use the momentum: Your character will launch forward with extra distance, allowing you to clear wider gaps.
Timing is very important in this technique. Jumping too early or too late may prevent you from getting the extra momentum.
The Pandora Blade also lets you repeat aerial dashes while gradually losing height. You can combine this ability with the Holy Sword’s dashes to travel farther and reach areas that might otherwise require more Wind Gems.
Is the Pandora Blade Worth Leveling Up?
The Pandora Blade can reach Level 100, but getting there takes a lot of grinding. Each weapon level adds 3% damage, according to my testing, so reaching Level 100 gives the weapon a substantial damage increase.
However, high damage does not automatically make it one of the best weapons. Other weapons can outperform it because of their longer reach, special effects, and magic abilities.
The Pandora Blade’s real strength is its movement technique. You can use its repeated aerial dashes and timed jumps to cross large gaps, explore unusual routes, and reach locations earlier than intended.
You do not need to level it to 100 to use its secret technique. If you mainly want to explore the map or access hard-to-reach places, collecting the weapon is the important part. Level it further only if you enjoy using it or want to see how far its damage can go.
