Two Ways to Unlock Infernal Twinblades
Method 1: Early Choice from Qi Sheng (Easiest)
After rescuing Qi Sheng and completing his introductory oddity task in Qinghe, you can pick one of four martial arts: Panacea Fan (healer), Infernal Twinblades (melee DPS), Thundercry Blade (tank), or the Vernal Umbrella (ranged offense). Simply submit your first Oddity to him, and he’ll offer you this choice.
Pro tip: If you love aggressive, combo-heavy gameplay right from the start, choose Infernal Twinblades here. The other weapons can be unlocked later through Skill Theft missions.
Method 2: Skill Theft at Midnight Mercy Sanctum
For players who chose a different weapon initially, you can unlock the Infernal Twinblades by stealing the art from the master in Midnight Mercy Sanctum or by joining the Midnight Mercy sect. Here’s your step-by-step infiltration guide:
Step 1: Get a Dragon Key Dragon Keys are earned from completing quests or raiding outposts in Qinghe. You’ll need one to unlock the cave entrance to the sanctum.
Step 2: Enter the Cave Head to the location marked on your map (check the Develop menu > Martial Arts > Infernal Twinblades > Obtain for directions). Use your Dragon Key on the altar to open the cave.
Step 3: Navigate the Midnight Blades Lair (Stealth Required) This requires extreme stealth as you make your way through the lair of the Midnight Blades sect. Key tips:
- Avoid the second ladder near guards—take the path to your right instead
- Watch guard patrol patterns carefully
- Use small gaps in walls to hide when guards turn their backs
- Climb ladders only when guards face away from you
Step 4: Reach the Master Keep moving till you find yourself at the end of the dungeon, where you can find the Midnight Blades master. Once there, use your Skill Theft ability and complete the QTE (quick-time event) sequence to learn Infernal Twinblades!

What Makes Infernal Twinblades Powerful?
This weapon is designed to deliver high DPS through rapid Attack Speed, while also prioritizing Critical Hits. It boasts extreme mobility and rapid, consecutive attacks, with multiple ways to close the gap quickly.
The signature mechanic is Flamelash Mode: Infernal Twinblades revolve around accumulating stacks of Karmic Flame and using the Burst Skill, Flamelash, once the Karmic Flame gauge is full. When activated, your screen glows red, attacks become faster, and you gain lifesteal plus CC immunity—perfect for aggressive all-ins!
Best Weapon Pairing
The Mortal Rope Dart is one of the best weapons to pair with the Infernal Blades because of its Rodent Rampage skill. Rope Dart pulls and seeds on-hit rodents, then Twinblades take over for extended melee chains and rage-state bursts. This combination creates relentless offensive pressure that keeps enemies overwhelmed.

FAQs
Is Infernal Twinblades Good for Beginners?
Not really—Infernal Twinblades has a steep learning curve that can feel underwhelming in early game if you’re new to Where Winds Meet. The high-risk, high-reward playstyle demands you maintain aggressive momentum and perfect your combo chains without getting hit. You have minimal defensive options, relying instead on lifesteal during Flamelash mode and dodging enemy attacks. If you’re just starting out, consider choosing Panacea Fan or Thundercry Blade from Qi Sheng’s early selection, as these offer more forgiving survivability. However, once you master the timing and movement mechanics, Infernal Twinblades becomes one of the most satisfying and powerful DPS weapons in the game—melting boss health bars when played correctly.
Can I Use Infernal Twinblades Without Mortal Rope Dart?
Absolutely! While Mortal Rope Dart is the recommended pairing due to its synergy with Rodent Rampage buffs and gap-closing abilities, you can create effective builds mixing Infernal Twinblades with other weapons. Some players successfully run Nameless Sword for additional mobility and CC effects, creating versatile open-world builds. The key is covering Infernal Twinblades’ weakness—lack of survivability—by pairing it with weapons offering defensive utility, crowd control, or additional sustain. Experiment with different combinations like Thundercry Blade for shields or Stormbreaker Spear for damage reduction. Just ensure your secondary weapon complements Twinblades’ aggressive tempo and covers downtime during Flamelash cooldowns for optimal performance.
