To overcome the challenges waiting for players in the endgame of Chained Echoes, you’ll want the very best weapons. The most powerful weapons in Chained Echoes start out totally useless — and you can find some of them early in the adventure. Rusty Weapons are useless tools that seemingly serve no purpose. It isn’t until Act 4 that their secret is revealed. By uncovering the location of a legendary Flying Smithy, you can upgrade Rusty Weapons into ultimate weapons of destruction. These are the best weapons of their class, and nothing else compares. There are 12 of these weapons total.

Below, we’ll explain how to get all 12 Rusty Weapons, and where to find the special upgrade items needed to craft ultimate weapons.
