Vigilance is a reward from Worked to the Bone, which begins after an Eldest Dragonbone is found and presented to Wade. The master smith will ask for additional ingredients (Greater Warmth Balm, a Grandmaster Flame Rune, a Fresh Dragon Egg and a Diamond) to help in the creation of a masterpiece. The final item is determined by the choices made during a dialogue with the master smith.

Crafting Options[]

Trivia[]

Bugs[]

  • There is a common bug that causes this weapon to have the same appearance as Starfang. Disabling the Warden's Keep DLC may allow the weapon to display correctly; doing so, however, causes you to lose the Power of Blood techniques.
  • There is another bug regarding the orientation/animation of the weapon as it is swung. This behavior is specific to the Greatsword version of this weapon - the Longsword version of Vigilance is not affected.
    • A mod that fixes both of these bugs for the PC can be downloaded here.
    • Other mods exist which can fix these problems individually. There is another mod that fixes the latter bug, as well as as fix for Vigilance appearing as Starfang.
