Scrolls in Haze Seas — Complete Guide

Haze Seas has two types of scrolls, each serving a completely different purpose:

Scroll Type Purpose How to Get
Scroll Trade for Raiu sword (C-tier) 5% drop from Shiryu boss
Poneglyph Scroll Unlock Second Sea travel Cutscene reward (see Second Sea guide)

Regular Scroll — Raiu Sword

The regular scroll is used to obtain the Raiu sword (also spelled Rayu by some players), a C-tier sword with two moves.

Step 1: Defeat Shiryu at Skull Island

Detail Value
Boss Shiryu
Location Skull Island (Sea 1)
Level Range 1,750–1,900
Scroll Drop Rate 5%
Respawn Time ~20 minutes

Shiryu spawns on Skull Island in Sea 1. The drop rate is low — expect to kill him ~20 times on average before the scroll drops.

Step 2: Find the Scroll Merchant

The Scroll Merchant NPC is hidden behind the skull on Skull Island. After defeating Shiryu and getting the scroll, walk around to the back of the giant skull structure to find him.

Detail Value
NPC Scroll Merchant
Location Behind the skull on Skull Island (Sea 1)
Cost 1 Scroll

💡 You don’t need Beli or Gems — just the scroll itself. Hand it to the merchant and you’ll receive Raiu immediately.

Raiu Sword Stats

Stat Value
Tier C
Damage Low–Moderate
Trade Value 5
Demand Low
Move 1 (Z) Crimson Dash
Move 2 (X) Bloody Barrage

Raiu is an early-game sword suitable for Sea 1 content. Its low trade value and C-tier rating make it a stepping stone rather than an endgame weapon — most players replace it with stronger options once they reach higher levels.


Poneglyph Scroll — Sea 2 Travel

The Poneglyph Scroll is a completely different item from the regular scroll — it’s used to unlock travel to Second Sea, not for any weapon.

  • Give it to the Dimensional Sailor NPC on Starter Island
  • Unlocks teleportation to Sea 2
  • Obtained through a multi-step quest involving a cutscene and the Red Emperor

📖 For the full step-by-step walkthrough — including level requirements, Rocky Pillar location, and the Red Emperor cutscene — see the How to Get to Second Sea guide.


Tips

  • Farm Shiryu efficiently: Bring a high-damage fruit to speed up kills. Each kill takes 1–2 minutes with a decent build.
  • Don’t confuse the two scrolls: The regular scroll from Shiryu only works with the Scroll Merchant for Raiu. It does not unlock Sea 2.
  • Check your inventory: After each Shiryu kill, open your inventory — the scroll is easy to miss in the loot pile.
