Ys X: Nordics Guide – Where to Find Sverkite and How to Use It

Sverkite is the key item you need to build Adol and Karja’s ultimate weapons and gear in Ys X: Nordics and fortunately, it’s not difficult to find! You will need to make substantial progress in the game first, however.

In order to obtain Sverkite, you will need to make enough progress in Ys X: Nordics and reach the Raoul Dark Sea. From there, you can begin your first steps toward finding and obtaining all four Sverkite in your playthrough. These Sverkite will be put to good use in Chapter 10, since Adol and Karja can finally obtain their ultimate weapons then.

Note: To forge ultimate weapons, you will need the penultimate weapons in Chapter 10. Adol’s weapon, Heimskringla, is obtained through normal progression, while Karja’s weapon, Himinglaeva, is obtained from the Axe to Regrind side quest on Giant’s Hand Isle in the Rogue Sea. 

Ys X: Nordics – Sverkite Locations and How to Use It

You can obtain a max of four Sverkite by Chapter 10, since some of the requirements are locked behind story progression, including access to the Rogue Sea. In addition, you will need to catch all Ancient fishes in Ys X: Nordics, as one of the Sverkite is given as a reward from the Rambunctious Penguin in the Raoul Dark Sea. 

Here’s where you can get the Sverkite:

1. Catch all Ancient fishes and feed them to the Rambunctious Penguin in the Raoul Dark Sea
2. S rank reward for completing the Southeastern Fortress Recapture mission in the Rogue Sea
3. One Sverkite can be purchased for 177,900 gold or 59,300 mana crystals at Anika’s Goods merchant ship in the Rogue Sea
4. Accept and complete the Rushed Off Their Fleet side quest on Mynorca Village in Chapter 10. 

After obtaining the Heimskringla and Himinglaeva, you will be able to upgrade these weapons at the weapon smith to forge Shining Sword Heimskringla and Exquisite Axe Himinglaeva, respectively. You will have two Sverkite left over to create the best armor possible for both Adol and Karja as well. Feel free to use these Sverkite before facing Ys X: Nordics’ secret boss and the final story boss!

Lastly, Ys X: Nordics is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam worldwide.
