Kithgard Mastery can not be played unless you already have a weapon

I saw this post from nick.

Kithgard Mastery: Awards Simple Sword?

You automatically get to equip it to play the level, but you don’t get to keep it until it is awarded. (The idea is that Kithgard Mastery can be beaten for those players who want to skip the whole dungeon without missing out on necessary game items found therein.)
