Naigtal & Val Void Guide
To find the blade, players will need to make their way to Sleet Rune Hollow, on the Heroic World Tier of Val. The blade does not seem to appear on normal mode, so make sure you come prepared for the challenge.
Sleet Rune Hollow is a small cave in the south eastern part of Val.
Located at the back of the cavern is a large block of ice with an Enchanted Hilt sticking out of it, though our work has only just begun. Attempting to extract the weapon applies the Testament buff, prompting players to prove themselves by slaying rare monsters throughout the zone.

Defeating either the world boss or any rare mob within the zone will apply Vanquishing. Upon gaining a second stack, the original Testament buff will update to indicate that you have proven yourself worthy and can return to claim the blade. Both of these buffs have 30-minute timers, though that should be very forgiving.
Note that only Imperator Pertinax and unique rare mobs provide credit, while roaming Elite Presence - Blackstar Legion enemies marked by a skull icon do not.
Rare mobs are indicated by a zone-wide shout and star icon on the map.
Return to the cave with both stacks and attempt to pull the sword from the ice again to finally receive the Ice Guardian's Sleetblade! The appearance resembles a lightsaber, and the blade even grows in length when previewed in the the dressing room, though it's always full size while actively equipped. On top of that, being located in a cave on a frozen world makes this feel like a somewhat out of sequence reference to The Empire Strikes Back.
