Best weapons and how to get them – Lords of the Fallen

You may have collected some great starting weapons to help you progress through the beginning of Lords of the Fallen up to a certain point. However, you may be at a level where you're ready to find a more end-game weapon. There are plenty of high-tier, powerful weapons out there, and I found most of the best ones from defeating bosses or hidden in chests. Take a look at our choice of best weapons and how to get them in the list below!

Lords of the Fallen Best Weapons List

Determining what the best weapons in the games are is mostly based on the weapons' overall stats but also on what works best for you. Depending on your build, you may be looking for a grand sword, or perhaps you're more interested in casting magic. There are top-tier weapons of all types, and here are a few you won't want to miss out on:

Pale Butcher's Blade

The Pale Butcher's Blade is a deadly-looking grand sword, large in size and length. Though it swings slower because of its size, it makes up for it in damage. Plus, it adds Wither on top of that, eating away at the enemies' health with each successful blow.

How to get Pale Butcher's Blade in Lords of the Fallen

You can find the Pale Butcher's Blade in the Forsaken Fen swamps in the area with the wooden walkways and huts, past the large bonfire. Inside one of the huts, you'll spot a dead body with an item beside it (pretty close to the Umbral Belly, where you'll get the Umbral Eye of the Pale Butcher).

Bloodlust

Bloodlust is a short sword stained red with the blood of its enemies. While it may seem like it lacks Attack Power, it makes up for it with added Fire damage, burning, and bleeding enemies with each blow. It also has another special feature that makes it well worth collecting: allowing the wielder to restore health with each slain enemy.

This special sword can be found inside a chest on the battleground where you fight the miniboss Crimson Rector Percival, just outside Fitzroy's Gorge.

Pieta's Sword

We got to see Pieta's Sword in action during the boss battle against her outside of Skyrest Bridge, and it's obvious just how mighty it can be. Despite this version being a shortsword, it still has decent reach and swings faster than other grand swords. The best feature of this sword is its hefty Holy power, which is particularly useful against the unholy abominations in this dark world.

You can purchase this weapon from Molhu in Skyrest Bridge after offering him Pieta's Remembrance. It will cost you 40 Umbral Scouring.

Saint Latimer's Relic Spear

Saint Latimer's Relic Spear is an ominous-looking weapon, fitting for the enemy to which it is found. This is my go-to weapon as of right now, with a long reach and added Wither on top of the decent Attack Power already. Though it isn't the fastest weapon, when upgraded, its damage is a force to be reckoned with.

This weapon is purchased from Molhu in Skyrest Bridge. You'll need to offer up the Congregator of Flesh's Remembrance and use 20 Umbral Scouring.

Hushed Saint's Halberd

The Hushed Saint's Halberd is a polearm weapon with the reach of a spear and the blade of an axe. It is a great choice for heavy builds, focusing more on outright damage output and brute force. However, it is also capable of poisoning enemies with successful blows.

The Hushed Saint's Halberd is purchased from Molhu in Skyrest Bridge after offering up The Hushed Saint's Remembrance. It can bought for 20 Umbral Scouring.

Abbess Chalice

The Abbess Chalice may not be a blade or a bow, but it is still one of the best weapons you can wield if you have a talent for spells. This Radiant Catalyst has one of the best spell power stats and allows up to five spell slots, leaving plenty of options for spellcasting.

An Abbess Chalice can be collected from Abbess enemies in the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters or the Empyrean locations.

Blacksmith's Pride

Blacksmith's Pride is slightly different than the usual-looking flail and far more deadly. This weapon doesn't weigh much, allowing for a decent swing speed, and adds up Wither and Physical to deal some hefty damage. It also can also deal frost to enemies.

How to get Blacksmith's Pride in Lords of the Fallen

Once you reach the Vestige of the Forgotten Guardian, past the Skinstealer boss fight, enter the double doors to Upper Calrath. You'll need to transition to Umbral to spot an Umbral Belly, which you Soulflay to obtain the Blacksmith's Pride.

The Iron Wayfarer's Hammer

The Iron Wayfarer's Hammer is by far one of the best-stated weapons I've seen, adding up a little bit of each possible damage type there is. It would definitely work better for heavy-build characters since it does weigh a whopping 35.2 and will require quite a bit of strength, but it will pack a mighty punch.

This grand hammer is dropped by The Iron Wayfarer boss in Upper Calrath, just outside Bramis Castle.

Final Whisper

Final Whisper is a fist weapon requiring close-quarters combat. Although it doesn't have much reach, this weapon is all about speed, delivering quick and precise strikes that inflict Wither and poison effects on enemies (perfect for an Assassin build).

How to get Final Whisper in Lords of the Fallen

In the courtyard area of The Hallowed Brothers Leprosarium, use the Abbot's Key to open the wooden gate. Then, head off to the right, using your Umbral Lantern to pass through the opening, where you'll find the item.

Multi-Shot Crossbow

The Multi-Shot Crossbow is another insane weapon you won't want to miss out on (especially if you're looking to do a ranged build). This crossbow shoots three bolts simultaneously and adds up a little of every kind of damage type. It is a great choice for crowd control and taking out those nuisance ranged enemies that may be hitting you from across the map.

How to get Multi-Shot Crossbow in Lords of the Fallen

This Multi-Shot Crossbow is found in the Abbey of the Hallowed Sister location from a chest. From the courtyard, follow the path to the left and ascend the staircase all the way up. Use your Umbral Lamp to cross through the gate and continue up to the left. You will come past a fountain of blood to the right and ascend another staircase, where you'll be met by an Abbess. In this area, you'll also find the chest holding the crossbow.

These are just a few of what we believe to be some of the best weapons you can find in Lords of the Fallen, but there may be others hidden out there. Be sure to pick up boss Remembrances to turn in for some insane loot shops, and keep your eyes peeled for chests and Umbral bellies, which contain some of the best items.
