Firstlight War Fans Schematic Guide
To find the Firstlight War Fans schematic, finish Shiro’s supply quest in Iceveil, buy a Shovel, follow the clues from Shiori, Dockmaster Sofen, Old Trapper Retsu and the shopkeeper, then dig beside the last house near Doma. The reward is a schematic; collecting it and crafting a usable weapon are separate steps.

Prepare before travelling to Iceveil
If you still need the meat, begin with Lucy in the beginner village. Her route sends you to Tom near the Mother Bear area for the Bear Cub task, then back to Lucy. Each completed delivery gives three Cooked Bear Meat; three deliveries provide the nine needed here.
Health Elixir is the required item name. Other recovery items do not replace that supply objective. Alchemy Meku at Mistfall Harbor sells Health Elixir; inspect the selected quantity and both displayed costs before buying.
| Bring or finish | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 9 Cooked Bear Meat | Stock the food requirement in Shiro’s Supply the Settlement quest. |
| 25 Health Elixir | Stock the second supply requirement. Keep these separate from your travel supplies. |
| A Shovel | Buy it from Winter Store Rep Lynx after the village supply quest, then use it at the dig site. |
| Earlier NPC quests | Finish the prerequisite conversations and quests before expecting the next clue. |
Complete Shiro’s Supply the Settlement quest
The quest panel has three checks: meat, elixirs and Return to Shiro. Use those checks to find an unfinished step before leaving for the clue route.
- Travel to the snowy Iceveil village entrance and speak to Iceveil Guard Shiro.
- Accept Supply the Settlement, then find the Gate Stores stocking interaction nearby.
- Load Cooked Bear Meat until its objective reads 9/9.
- Load Health Elixir until its objective reads 25/25.
- Return to Shiro to complete the final objective. Filling the two stock counters does not replace the return conversation.
Buy the Shovel from Winter Store Rep Lynx
After the supply quest, enter the village shop and speak to Winter Store Rep Lynx. Select Shovel and complete the purchase. Confirm the tool is in your inventory before travelling between the clue NPCs.
Keep the shovel available for the final dig. Knowing where the snow patch is does not substitute for bringing the tool or completing the preceding conversations.
Follow the clue conversations in order
Talk through each relevant dialogue branch before travelling onward. A shop menu by itself is not the final clue: the shopkeeper also has the conversation that points you toward the last house.
If an NPC only offers an earlier task, complete that task first. Revisit the preceding NPC when the next story option is missing instead of repeatedly trying the dig location.
| Order | NPC and location | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shiori — Butterfly Estate | Finish her earlier quest if necessary, then complete the conversation before moving to the harbor. |
| 2 | Dockmaster Sofen — Mistfall Harbor | Follow the dialogue about the woman to continue the trail. |
| 3 | Old Trapper Retsu — near the Mother Bear area | From Frostveil Shrine, head northwest toward the Mother Bear approach. Speak to Retsu and follow the available dialogue, including the payment prompt. |
| 4 | Winter Store Rep Lynx — Iceveil shop | Return to the shopkeeper and follow the story dialogue about the woman with wrapped hands until you receive the buried-item clue. |
Find the dig spot beside the house near Doma
Use the shop and the house near Doma as the route landmarks. The target is the nearby buried spot, not a requirement to defeat Doma.
If digging does not produce the expected reward, check the shovel, Shiro’s final turn-in and the four clue conversations. Also inspect your inventory so that an already collected schematic is not mistaken for an unfinished route.
- Leave the Iceveil shop and head south through the village.
- Continue toward the last house near Doma, then turn left into the snow beside it.
- Equip the Shovel and dig at the buried spot.
- Interact with the uncovered chest and collect its contents.
- Check for Firstlight War Fans Schematic in the reward or inventory before leaving.
A schematic is not the finished weapon
Keep the Firstlight War Fans schematic for its crafting step. Do not count a successful dig as proof that the weapon is crafted, equipped or compatible with your current art.
For a Demon build, finish the relevant Blood Demon Art training and check the chosen move’s weapon requirement before committing materials. A weapon recommendation for one art does not make it a requirement for every Demon.
