In the first city of Crimson Desert, you can obtain a powerful katana. MeinMMO will tell you where to find the Hwando two-handed sword.
What is the katana worth? The Hwando is a strong longsword that gives you 19 attack (a bit of bonus attack provides a socketed Abyss equipment) and some critical hit chance right from the start. Maxed out, it can do even 44 attack.
In addition, there is an exciting effect from another Abyss equipment: The weapon restores some stamina on attacks. Since the katana has two empty slots, you can fit a total of 5 Abyss equipment effects into the blade.

Where can I find the katana? In the northwest of Hernand is the Lion’s Mane estate. However, you do not enter the main building, but the smaller side house with the blue roof. Since the doors are guarded by guards, approach from the side and enter the first floor through a window.
Attention: A guard with a spear strolls around the estate and could observe you during the climbing section.
Once you have opened the wooden window and entered the house, go through the door immediately to the right – you will need a key for this. In the room, you will find a sparkling chest from which you can obtain the Hwando and an Improved Powerfist Herb Paste.
A small puzzle, like with other hidden items in the city, will not need to be solved. Enjoy your new weapon! Crimson Desert is full of secrets and rewards like this.
