Malek's Sword

"Malek’s sword belonged in his right hand. However distasteful this errand was, I would return it to its proper place."

- Kain

Malek's Sword was an artifact used by Kain in Defiance. It could be found in Chapter 3: Pursue Moebius.

When Kain returned to the Sarafan Stronghold in Chapter 3 of Defiance, he noticed a new statue of Malek in the 'cloister' courtyard and noted that the statue was missing a sword and a shield (further evidenced by a nearby mural depicting Malek with both, and two Sealed Doors depicting bearing images of a sword and a shield respectively).

After collecting Malek's Shield from the relic room, Kain was able to return the shield to Malek's statue and dispel the barriers protecting the 'Shield Mural' door. The new passageway led to the upper levels of the 'cloister' courtyard and the main battlements areas. Above the main battlements, Kain found another statue of Malek, holding Malek's sword. Returning the sword to Malek's statue in the lower level of the 'cloister' courtyard, Kain was able to dispel the barriers protecting the 'Sword Mural' door and ascend once again, this time to the 'Gatehouses' and 'Tower' areas.
