Reed Devil — boss encounter
Drops
Sunset Reed Cloth Gloves
Cloth gloves once worn by the Reed Devil. They carry the grudges of the devil of the reed field and his followers, who slipped free of the cycle of life and death. Thick layers of tightly compressed cloth give them durability to rival steel.
Swift Stab
An inner skill for Kliff that adds a follow-up attack after a successful charged Stab.
