How to Get the Holy Sword Endu

What is the shortest reliable route to Endu?

1. Save at the first Crystal Monument and collect the Dagger Belt along the coast.
2. Use a throwing dagger on the burial-area door switch.
3. Descend to collect the Endu Shrine Gate Key.
4. Return to the coastal shrine, unlock its gate, and save before the fight.
5. Defeat the Shrine Guardian, then claim Endu from the shrine.

This is an early progression route, not a reason to clear every neighboring dungeon first. The official game description identifies Endu as the sword used to fly between platforms. The Steam achievement Flying Sword marks collecting it as a separate milestone.

What should you try after getting it?

Practice Wind Dash where a missed jump is harmless. The sword changes traversal as well as combat, so a gap that looked like a dead end may now be reachable. If a crossing still seems too wide, do not assume you are using the button incorrectly: additional Wind Gems are part of the exploration loop. The Endu item reference explains that distinction.

Return to the island’s earlier junctions and inspect routes that ended at open air. For a broader sense of progression, use the where-to-go guide as a milestone list rather than treating it as the only possible route.
