Veteran's Battle Axe is one of eight primary weapons in Mortal Shell 2, and every Shell can carry it. It takes 23 Tarstones. You find it in The King's Crypt dungeon, Blackridge Cliffs.
“This solid steel axe is rumored to have been quenched in the blood of the Revered.”
Our take
Tucked inside The King's Crypt dungeon in Fainweald, so getting it is a side trip with a dungeon attached. Its ability is not documented yet — treat the empty field as missing information, not as a weapon without a move. What is on record is a stone nothing else takes: the Inflamed Clawstone fits this axe and no other primary.
Tarforge upgrades
Franz takes it to +16 at the Tarforge in Marrow Keep. Damage is a percentage of the weapon's base, ending at 180%.
