Blades Of Fire: Rune Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Blades of Fire, Runes are traversal and combat tools that Aran uses to interact with the environment and exploit boss weaknesses. Unlike Forge Scrolls or Dyes, Runes are major story milestones and are typically guarded by Domain bosses.

There are 5 Primary Runes and 3 Secret Combat Runes to find.

Thunder Rune
Fire Rune
Soul Rune
Light Rune
Frost Rune
Vampiric Run
Weightless Rune
Shatter Rune

Aside from boosting your combat abilities, some Runes also open secret passages. Our interactive game maps for Blades of Fire include the locations of these access points that you'll be able to explore once you unlock the corresponding Runes.
