Acquisition
Find the chest at the top of a watchtower in Castle Ensis. Explore the castle’s tower paths and ladders; Wing Stance is in a separate chest and is not Milady’s default skill. Shadow of the Erdtree access is required.
Use the ordinary moveset too
The light greatsword’s connected heavy attacks let you make progress without constant skill use. Keen suits the 80 Dexterity Ensis Wanderer. Other affinities can fit different spreads, but that is a separate build decision.
Wing Stance offers a multi-slash light branch and a leaping thrust heavy branch. Use it after learning the weapon’s reach. Raising Scadutree Blessing has more practical value in the expansion than assuming an upgraded weapon alone will carry the run.
