Blades of Fire: All Seneschal Statues at the Iron Castle

Welcome to my guide for finding all Seneschal Statues at the Iron Castle, Aecides Domain, in Blades of Fire. This walkthrough provides clear directions and visuals to help you uncover every statue, ensuring you don’t miss out on weapon parts along the way.

Seneschal statues are wooden figures of a warrior holding a specific type of weapon. To get a weapon part, interact with a Seneschal statue while holding the same type of weapon. There are 7 weapon types: Daggers, Twins, Sabers, Swords, Greatswords, Polearms, and Spears. Each type includes 5 weapons, and each weapon can be upgraded a limited number of times. You can check the available upgrades in the “Forge Scrolls” section of the in-game menu. The parts you’ve collected will be shown under the weapon with a Seneschal symbol. Once you’ve collected all the parts for a weapon, it will turn bronze and can no longer be presented to a Seneschal statue.

Below you will find the overview map of the Iron Castle with the Seneschal highlighted.

On the ground floor of The Iron Castle, to the east, you’ll find a gate with two levers that must be operated simultaneously with Adso to open. Just before reaching this gate, there’s a narrow gap on the eastern side. Squeeze through it to discover the Seneschal.

Ascend the south tower of the Iron Castle to the top, where you can find a Daggers Seneschal.

The Swords Seneschal can be found just below the Aecides’ Chapel Anvil. To reach this location, you must first defeat Aecides and rescue the villagers on two separate occasions, forcing him to retreat to his chapel. Afterward, instead of encountering Aecides, a corrupted Templar will attack Aran in the courtyard. Follow the Templar’s trail back to a torture chamber on the western side of the castle.

Inside the torture chamber, you’ll find a gate and a crank/lever mechanism. Defeat all the Vexxers in the area to retrieve the crank/lever. Use it to open the gate, and then take the crank with you as you proceed. Continue along the path, passing through a group of Rotspawn, until you reach a room where the crank can be used to lift Adso in a cage. Join Adso at the upper level to access the Aecides’ Chapel Anvil. From there, descend to locate the Sword Seneschal.

There is a Light Rune inscription at the bottom of the eastern tower. Make sure to have a Light Rune on one of your weapons and present the weapon with L2 on PlayStation 5. If you don’t have a Light Rune yet, follow the story until the Blue Lady starts to sing and offers you a Light Rune.

Enter the next room to find the Sealed Dungeons Forger’s Anvil. Continue to fight the Rotspawn in the next room. Make sure to first target their nests. After their defeat, head up the stairs and turn right, where you can drop down into a corridor below. Here you can open one of the gates leading back to the Sealed Dungeons Anvil, but also advance to a room with two Trolls and this chest.

From the previous chest, look for a crank/lever on the floor and use it to open a nearby gate. Follow the path until you get to a metal gate, where you can squeeze through to the other side. Here, on the other side, is a chest.

Follow the path to the outside, where you can find the Swords Seneschal.

To find the Swords Seneschal, head to the area where Aran lifted Adso in a cage during the story to access Aecides’ Chapel. At the base of the first ladder, you’ll find the Light Rune.

Open the passage and follow the path leading to the western part of the Iron Castle. The Seneschal is located in the westernmost tower.

From the previous Seneschal, exit the castle through the western gate and climb up to the closed gate, where you can open the gate with a crank/lever and find the Seneschal. Technically, this Seneschal would belong to the Besacarr Hamlet Seneschal Guide, but since it can only be accessed from the Iron Castle side, I included it here.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
