By Mehrdad Khayyat Published Jul 26, 2026, 10:52 AM EDT Mehrdad (He/Him) is a writer at GameRant. He started writing about video games when he was a high-school student. He loves playing competitive FPS games such as Rainbow Six Siege. In between, you can also find him grinding for better ships in Star Citizen every now and then. As you make progress in DragonSword: Awakening , you will unlock more playable characters , and one of the more important ones is Castella thanks to her Stun abilities. If you want to further improve Castella, then you're going to need to level her up with the Leaf of Vigor (once you reach her second Breakthrough). We'll share the location of this resource below, and show you how to give her the Breakthrough she needs to increase her power! Interested in giving Luto a Breakthrough? Here's how. Where to Find Leaf of Vigor in DragonSword Awakening Close Image: GameRant via Hound 13 Image: GameRant via Hound 13 Image: GameRant via Hound 13 The Leaf of Vigor usually grows inside the forests , near the trees. One of the best places to farm them is the big forest northwest of Hill of Journey . You will find more than a few Leaves of Vigor inside this forest, though that's not the only place you can gather them. The surrounding area of the small pond north of Firefly Forest as well as the southern parts of the Shadowed Forest are other locations you can visit to collect the Leaf of Vigor. But keep in mind that the forest in Hill of Journey hosts the most. The locations where you can find Leaf of Vigor are marked on the map above. Another method to get Leaf of Vigor without spending in-game currency is to complete dungeons. If you finish the Rusted Tusk Bandits' Treasure Vault, you will get Leaf of Vigor as a reward . The normal difficulty drops 4 leaves, hard difficulty grants 7 leaves, and very hard difficulty gives 10 leaves.

However, this is a waste of emblems to spend them on Leaf of Vigor, but it's still an option in case you have plenty of emblems to burn. How to Get Monster Essence in DragonSword Awakening Image: GameRant via Hound 13 The next things you need to complete Castella's Breakthrough are two versions of Monster Essence: Lowest-Grade and Low-Grade. Both of these can be obtained by completing the Goblin Bandits' Cave dungeon . The Normal difficulty will grant Lowest-Grade Monster Essence, while the Hard difficulty will drop the Low-Grade version. Once you have all the items, Castella's Breakthrough should be available, but there is still one more requirement. If you have not reached Mercenary Corps Rank of Intermediate, you won't be able to initiate the Breakthrough. You need to complete the Looming Crisis quest to reach Intermediate! DragonSword: Awakening is available now on Steam . Close
