The Seneschals in Blades of Fire are statues holding a specific weapon type that grants bonuses, like new weapon parts to craft different versions of the same weapon. The protagonist, Aran de Lira, can activate them by holding the same weapon type. Doing so will allow Aran to forge more powerful versions of the same weapon by activating new hilts, blade types, handles, and more.

Unlocking more upgrades for the weapons will make them more effective in combat and can change the way the weapons perform after forging them in Blades of Fire, as Aran utilizes different slashing and stabbing styles based on how the weapon was forged. This guide will show you where all the Seneschals are in Besacarr Hamlet.

Blades Of Fire: How To Unlock More Weapon Scrolls

To forge new weapons in Blades of Fire, players need to obtain Forge Scrolls; here’s how to unlock Forge Scrolls for new weapons.

Blades of Fire - Where to Find the Seneschals In Besacarr Hamlet

Swords Seneschal

Weapon Type

Swords

How To Unlock

Starting Weapon

The Swords Seneschal is located to the left as Aran crosses the bridge. Deal with the Queen's Hounds in the area, then walk down the gap between the two houses to find the Swords Seneschal.

Equip Aran with a sword and activate the statue, and gain new parts for the sword, making it a much better weapon than the one Aran started out with, capable of one-hit killing Blade of Fire's enemies in combat.

Spears Seneschal

Weapon Type

Spears

How To Unlock

Kill 10 Spearmen

After activating the Sword Seneschal, jump down from the platform and take a left. Kill the Queen's soldier on the boardwalk and then take a right to kill the sleeping soldier, and smash the stack of logs next to him to reveal a gap.

Pass the gap, and the Spears Senesdal will be in front of you, but you'll get ambushed by a Marauder. Kill it and activate the Spears Senesdal to unlock more parts for the spear.

Twins Seneschal

Weapon Type

Twin Axes

How To Unlock

Kill 60 Axe-Wielding Undead in the Crimson Fort

After getting the Spears Seneschal, head north and take a right up the hill between the house and the cliff wall to locate the Twins Seneschal holding two axes.

If this is your first visit to Besacarr Hamlet, then you won't yet have access to the Twin Axes. You must kill 60 axe-wielding Putrids at the Crimson Fort.

The maps in Blades of Fire are designed for multiple explorations. If you cannot activate a Seneschal right away, don’t worry—you can easily locate it again later, as it will remain marked on your map until you use it.

Daggers Seneschal

Weapon Type

Twin Daggers

How To Unlock

Kill 30 Marauders

After finding Twins Seneschal, hug the left side and continue down the path to kill the guard in a hut. Then take a right into a small area with water, and you'll get attacked by a water elemental. Defeat with the right and left swings of the spear or sword.

You'll find the Daggers' Seneschal underneath the bridge. To get the forge scroll for this, you must kill 30 Marauders. Some are hidden in houses in the Besacarr Hamlet area, and more are in the Hollow Plain region. Or you can repeatedly kill the one that respawns in the same room as the Spears Seneschal.

Blades Of Fire: Best Combat Tips

Battles are like duels in Blades of Fire. Here are some helpful combat tips to make short work of Aran's enemies.

Polearms Arms Seneschal

Weapon Type

Polearms (Warhammers, War Axe, Hyssop)

How To Unlock

The first weapon Aran crafts in the Forge of the Gods

The first weapon Aran will forge is the Hyssop in the Forge of the Gods, and he can activate new parts for it by heading south to the Troll River Anvil. Take the sloped hill down into the grass area and defeat the guards in the area.

There's a miniboss called the Mayhem Warmonger; defeat him and take the small path to the left down the hill to the wooden house. There are two guards in this area. Defeat them and activate the Polearm Seneschal.

Greatsword Seneschal

Weapon Type

Greatswords

How To Unlock

Kill 60 Claymore-wielding undead in the Hollow Plain region

Go back to the Troll River Anvil and rest if you need to. Then go back to the gate area and take a right. Stop when you see the Queen's Hounds patrolling and peering down into the swamp. Take a right up a small path behind the houses and you'll find the Greatsword Seneschal.

You can get your first Greatsword, the Claymore, from the undead in the Hollow Plain region.

The Claymore is slow, but it is one of the best early weapons in the game, and with timing can decapitate two or more enemies with one swing.
