What connect Castlevania with Beowulf?

The answer is Hrunting (フルンティング Huruntingu) that was the magical sword given to Beowulf by Unferð in the ancient Old English epic of the same name. Beowulf used it in battle against Grendel's mother.

Since poison element doesn't affect damage calculation directly, without the poison effect, this sword is treated like the other non elemental swords. The Hrunting is a prize for defeating the Headhunter in the Inner Quarters. However, it will take some work to get it, as you have to ascend to the top of a stormy tower filled with Disc Armors and Valkyries. The sword is more powerful than a Gladius (and any other straight-swinging standard sword), but less powerful than the Rahab's Frost, Laevatain and Kaladbolg, swords which are obtained later in the game. Another weapon in this game that can poison enemies is the Poison Fist, which has a much shorter range but is twice as strong and is the strongest of the fist weapons. It is possible for Soma to obtain the Hrunting before fighting Headhunter, as the boss can be skipped using double jump and Flying Armor soul from the other entrance of Inner Quarters.

Hrunting: Other informations

This sword has a good range and hurls poison at the enemy. Its swing looks like a purple poison-version of Laevatain's flame swung and can damage creatures above the sword. This sword will poison all enemies it touches that are weak against poison (Buer, Siren, Durga, Minotaur, Student Witch, Fleaman, Evil Butcher, Catoblepas, Persephone, Valkyrie, Witch, Curly, Gorgon, Golem, Ripper, Werejaguar, Biphron, Weretiger, Red Minotaur, Bael and Erinys). These creatures will have their attack reduced by 25% and their defense nullified. Any creatures without weakness against poison will not be affected by this effect.

Gameplay of Castlevania

Thanks for Playing!

By Noemi Castellano

Beowulf returned to the surface with the head of the monster (and the hilt of the sword) as proof of his victory. Later, Beowulf requests of his men that Hrunting be retrieved and returned to Unferth of the Danes with his compliments and thanks, despite it's inability to harm Grendel's mother.

Which are the origins of Hruntig?

The sword possessed great power and never failed anyone who used it. However, when Beowulf descended to the bottom of the lake where Grendel's mother dwelt, the sword proved too weak and Hrunting was ineffective against the creature. Beowulf instead searched inside of the lair and found a sword which belonged to the Jotuns (forged by giants, sons of Cain - the same lineage as Grendel and his mother), which only he was strong enough to lift. Beowulf used this sword to kill Grendel's mother and decapitate the body of Grendel, but her poisonous blood melted the giants' sword's blade like wax.
