Find all three phantom wolves to reach the sword that requires Boreas's presence as well as The Lone Wolf's Memory achievement in Genshin Impact 6.3. See where to find the phantom wolves, where to get Boreas's presence, and its rewards in this guide!

The sword that requires Boreas's presence can be found east of Favonius Keep in Nod-Krai. It can be found on top of a plateau south-east of the Favonius Keep Meeting Point.
Nod-Krai Map Guide and How to Unlock
There are three phantom wolves scattered around south of the Favonius Keep area in Nod-Krai. You will need to find and help all wolves for them to guide you to the sword that requires Boreas's presence.
| 1 | ![]() A phantom wolf can be found fighting Thundercraven Rifthound Whelps in a hilichurl camp south-east of Favonius Keep. Defeat all enemies to help the phantom wolf. |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() After defeating all enemies, the wolf will re-appear nearby. It will run away once you touch it and you will need to follow it. |
| 3 | ![]() Following it should lead you into an area with rubble and a sword. Go near the wolf so it disappears while lighting up the claw marks behind it. |
| 1 | ![]() A phantom wolf can be found south-west of Favonious Keep near a small building. The signpost outside the building will tell you to wait until midnight for the wolf to show up. |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() Reading the Lost Note near it will make it run to a crate with a lantern on it. Follow it and read the new note to proceed. |
| 3 | ![]() Follow the wolf until you reach a broken caravan. Once again, read the note near it to proceed. |
| 4 | ![]() The wolf will finally bring you to the rubble and sword area. Going to it will make it disappear while lighting up the claw marks next to it. |
| 1 | ![]() A phantom wolf can be found in the middle of the creek south-east of Favonius Keep. Approaching it will cause it to run into the wall, which is actually a Lunar Conflux Barrier. |
|---|---|
| 2 | To melt the barrier, you will need to charge the nearby Marvelous Mandragora with kuuvahki energy from a Glimmerfruit. Throw the charged Mandragora onto the barrier until it melts to reveal the wolf. |
| 3 | ![]() Touching the wolf will make it run all the way to the rubble and sword area. Approach it to make it disappear while lighting up the claw marks near it. |

Once all three claw marks have been lit up, the phantom wolves will appear once more while making the sword interactable. Touching the sword hilt will spawn a Moonlane nearby.
Ride the Moonlane to enjoy several lore-related dialogues while being transported to the final location.

The Moonlane will drop you off on top of a plateau with a sword stuck on a rock. Touching the sword hilt will show a short cutscene of a phantom wolf appearing and disappearing.

Since Varka is also known as the Knight of Boreas, it is possible that the sword will react differently once he interacts with it due to the sword specifically requiring Boreas's presence.
This hints at the potential release of Varka in the future, since that's the only way he'll be able to interact with the sword.

Finding all phantom wolves and touching the sword hilt at the end will reward you with The Lone Wolf's Memory Achievement as well as a luxurious treasure chest!
