As of this time, there is one reference discovered in the game and perhaps many more that will come to light as time progresses.

Although there may be more references available in the future for gamers to discover, one of the earliest references that they can obtain takes the form of a greatsword. Players can get this greatsword by heading to Castle Morn, south of the Bridge of Sacrifice.

Once inside, users should begin exploring the castle for the wealth of treasures hidden within.

As players make their way through the castle and claim the riches available to them, they will undoubtedly come across a portal of yellow mist. Stepping through one takes them to a boss fight.

It is no different here, and users who brave the mist will come face-to-face with Leonine Misbegotten, an extremely fast and powerful boss.

Gamers have to face this dangerous foe if they want to claim the greatsword. However, Leonine Misbegotten is very fast and leaves them with almost no time to attack. Users should be sure to dodge attacks and try to save some stamina to rain blows down whenever there is an opening.

Playing cautiously yet pushing to attack when needed will win this fight.

Once users defeat Leonine Misbegotten, they will be able to loot the aforementioned greatsword, called "Grafted Blade Greatsword." It appears to be made out of the numerous discarded weapons of the warriors who fell before the blade.

This is a reference to the Iron Throne in GoT, created of the weapons of those slain.
