Grafted Scion

📍 Show on map

Grafted Scion is a boss encountered in an early fight that the player may seem fated to lose, and another can be found in Stormveil Castle. Square Off, the Longsword weapon skill available to the Vagabond, is described as an effective way to deal heavy posture damage to it. Grafted Scions also appear as enemies in areas such as Sellia Hideaway and Elphael, where Spirit Ashes can be used as a distraction to reach nearby objectives.
