If you didn’t know, the world of Dawn of Defiance isn’t based in reality. It’s a world full of mythological beasts, gods, and powers of untold origin. You can access such powers, but you must complete the tutorial quests first. Namely, the Place of Power questline. Here is how to restore the Swordless Statue in Dawn of Defiance!
What You Need to Restore the Swordless Statue
The first part in the Place of Power questline tasks you with restoring the Swordless Statue in Dawn of Defiance. If you were curious and decided to explore the island, specifically the blue light beams reaching into the sky, then you probably discovered this location previously.
You must first place a Crafting Station at your base to restore the statue. It must sit on a foundation to work, though.
Once you have the Crafting Station, interact with the workbench, find the Giant Stone Sword (x7 Stone), and craft a single one. So long as it’s in your inventory, you can activate and restore the statue.
After defeating the five Soldiers or skirting around them, activate the state to place the Giant Stone Sword. In the center of the temple, a brazier will slowly rise from the ground. You must fill it with 50 Ambrosia Dust to pay tribute. Once you do, the quest will be complete, and you can receive your reward. Don’t forget to interact with the tribute brazier once more to claim your ability!

Rewards for Restoring the Swordless Statue
For restoring the Swordless Statue and paying tribute, you will receive Hardfall. It ensures that you’re entirely immune to all fall damage, no matter the height, and that if you perform a melee attack mid-air, it turns into a damaging slam attack. If you can get above your enemies, dealing area-of-effect damage is useful!
There’s a lot to uncover in the world of Dawn of Defiance, from unique powers to practical crafting recipes. The Guide Hall intends to find it all to bring you in-depth guides!
