This was the sword carried by Fereldan's Grey Warden commander, Duncan, who was slain at the Battle of Ostagar. It was left buried in the corpse of the ogre that killed King Cailan. In the downloadable content Return to Ostagar, the ogre that killed King Cailan is resurrected by the Genlock necromancer with Duncan's sword and dagger stuck in its chest.
Upgrade
On the PC version, Duncan's Sword can be upgraded by selling it to an NPC vendor such as Mikhael Dryden. This can also be done on the PS3 version (confirmed using Bodhan). On the XBox version, Duncan's Sword can be upgraded by putting it in the party storage chest at Soldier's Peak.
Notes
- Duncan's Sword imports to Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, but only if you do not have it equipped, it must be in your inventory.
- The code for the Add Item console mod is kcc_im_wep_mel_lsw_dun_uti
(Console) On the console version Duncan's Sword has +4 stamina regeneration. Fade Wall has +2 stamina regeneration. This makes it the second best set for an arcane warrior regarding stamina regeneration. It is beat out by Cailan's Arms by .5 stamina regeneration, but this set has much better overall stats.
Trivia
Despite various cut scenes where Duncan's weapons seems to change models, when equipped this item has the Oathkeeper model, but the color of the blade is different.
