Silent Hill f - Head to the Divine Tree

Once all 5 Jizo Statues have received their offerings, head to the Divine Tree just west of the Ebisugaoka Middle School. When you approach the tree, a cutscene will play out, and you should have the Sacred Sword in your inventory right after.

Should You Purify the Sacred Sword?

Purified Sacred Sword for True or Bad Endings

Silent Hill f Ebisugaoka in Silence
If you want to get either the Bad Ending (Fox's Wedding) or the True Ending (Ebisugaoka in Silence), then you will want to purify the Sacred Sword. However, do note that purifying your Sacred Sword will have some notable disadvantages for the weapon.

The major drawback is that your Sacred Sword will no longer be able to regenerate its durability, unlike when it was unpurified. This means you'll have to use the Tool Kits to use it again.

Unpurified Sword for the Good Ending

The Fox Wets Its Tail
If you don't plan on purifying your Sword, then you'll eventually lead yourself to the good ending of the game. It's also recommended to keep this sword unpurified if you're planning to get the remaining endings, as you will retain its regenerating effects.

How to Purify Sacred Sword

Solve the Puzzle in the Dark Shrine Main Hall

Bell #1
Stone (Volcano)
Bell #2
Water (Waves)
Bell #3
Tree

To be able to purify the Sacred Sword, you must first solve the puzzle at the Hermitage of Crimson Water in the Dark Shrine Main Hall. You'll have to ring three bells around the area in the correct order to solve it.

First, ring the bell with the volcano symbol inside the temple. Then the bell with the waves symbol near the stone clue. Lastly, ring the bell with the tree symbol at the center of the area. It's important to know that you have to ring each bell only after the clacking sound.

Head to the Shrine Northeast of Shu's House

World Location Map Location

To purify the Sacred Sword, you'll need to go to a small shrine located just northeast of Shu's house. From there, you should be able to see a tub of blood.

Simply go near it and interact with it to start the purification process. Note that once you've purified your Sacred Sword, it won't be able to give you protection from attacks and will not regenerate durability anymore.

How to Use Sacred Sword (Katana)

Focus Gauge Will Remain While Attacking

While the Sacred Sword cannot use Focus Attacks, you will retain your Focus Gauge if you attack while in the Focus state.

If an enemy attacks you during this state, the sword will automatically block it for you, but you will be taken out of Focus.

Durability Regenerates When Sheathed

The Sacred Sword can regenerate its durability when it is sheathed if you use other weapons to attack enemies. This way, you won't have to use that many Tool Kits anymore to repair your equipment.
