With its unique turn-based combat system, Chained Echoes introduces items that influence the gameplay creatively. There are plenty of fantastic items for players to get their hands on, but Ultimate Weapons are by far the most desirable.
They are reliable, multipurpose, and powerful, but also extremely rare. It takes at least ten hours for an average player to find and craft them all, so, to help with that, this handy guide explains everything players need to know about Ultimate Weapons including how to craft and find them.
What Are Ultimate Weapons in Chained Echoes?
In Chained Echoes, an Ultimate Weapon is a powerful armament coated with a Soul of Farnese. Unlocked toward the final chapter, Act 4, Ultimate Weapons have much higher DPS and special abilities that basic weapons do not.
How to Craft Ultimate Weapons in Chained Echoes
To craft an Ultimate Weapon, players will need to give a Soul of Farnese and the rusty version of that weapon to Flying Smithy. He forges the Ultimate Weapon by joining the soul and the rusty arm.
Where to Find Flying Smithy?
Players will need to complete the “A Hammer Beating in the Sky” to unlock Flying Smithy and craft Ultimate Weapons. Once in the Nhysa Academy, they should head to the abandoned office and read the instructions on the table. The note describes the location of a small flying island to the west of Valandis, where Flying Smithy resides. Players can then call the airship to access Flying Smithy’s Island.
