Defeat Demi-Human Queen Marigga on the beach in Charo’s Hidden Grave to get the Star-Lined Sword. From Cerulean Coast, pass the coastal graveyard and enter the opening in the north rock wall; follow the canyon west to the beach. Marigga drops the weapon when defeated.
Where to find the Star-Lined Sword
The sword is in the southern Land of Shadow, in Charo’s Hidden Grave. The final approach is the same whether you arrive from Cerulean Coast or take the longer route from Scadu Altus: reach Cerulean Coast, travel west past the coastal graveyard, and look for a canyon opening in the north rock wall. Follow the canyon west until it opens onto a sandy beach, where Demi-Human Queen Marigga waits. Nearby Demi-Humans can join the fight, so clearing them first may make the encounter easier.
Route from Cerulean Coast West
- Start at Cerulean Coast West and head northeast through the opening between the cliffs.
- Keep left toward the coast and continue to the shore encounter.
- Defeat Demi-Human Queen Marigga to receive the Star-Lined Sword.
This short approach is described by Prima Games.
Longer route from Scadu Altus
- Enter the cave southeast of Shadow Keep and follow the route through the poison swamp to Ancient Ruins Base.
- Continue west through the canyon to Temple Town Ruins.
- Descend the gravestone ladder south of the ruins and follow the canyon south to Cerulean Coast.
- Travel west past the coastal graveyard, enter the opening in the north rock wall, and follow the canyon to the beach.
- Defeat Demi-Human Queen Marigga to claim the weapon.
This overland route follows PC Gamer’s route.
Requirements and weapon skill
- Attributes required: 10 Strength, 23 Dexterity, and 21 Intelligence.
- Skill: Onze’s Line of Stars, a multi-input attack sequence that extends when you use additional skill inputs.
PC Gamer reports B Dexterity scaling and D scaling in both Intelligence and Strength. Its guide characterizes the sword as a better fit for a Dexterity-focused build with Intelligence investment than as an automatic upgrade over Moonveil; that is a build assessment, not a guarantee that it will outperform another weapon for every character.
Should you pursue it?
Check whether your character meets the attribute requirements and whether you want a weapon built around extending its skill sequence. Also consider how far you have progressed: the Scadu Altus route passes through several DLC areas before reaching Cerulean Coast, while the final approach begins there if you have already arrived. The sword is an expansion item. Bandai Namco says Shadow of the Erdtree requires the Elden Ring base game; its official expansion page lists editions, so check the platform and included content before buying.
