dude, how about you share how and where then lol?
Also, there WAS a sword upgrade before the "Cathedral after you have the 3 macguffins"
Nere I just found it lol. I missed this because I died here and never came back.
New zone with sword upgrade: At the far west of the mountain with the lifts that leads to the bell zone. There is a area with 2 of those charging masked guys and I remember dying there because it was 2 of them and they stun locked me, I guess I never went back. So yeah, Sword upgrade there (so my 4th) and whatever else is up there, ill find out now
EDIT: Oh shit here's the knot NPC lol. So this just links back to the brotherhood area, how the fuck did I miss this. Also a travel point here so I assume its one of the ones
Sanctuary was talking about.
