Secret Weapon
The Secret Weapon is a forged sword available at The Forge with 100 fragments and the Soul Stone in your inventory. It serves as a powerful early-game alternative to Stormbreaker, particularly for Templar fragment farming.
Crafting Requirements
- 100 fragments
- 250+ kills
- Soul Stone in inventory (do not equip; keep in inventory slot)
- Hardcore mode: hold the Soul Stone while forging
During forging, the Soul Stone floats above the glass platform when the Secret Weapon is successfully created.
Abilities
- Sword Swing (Left Click) — Fast slashes with AoE splash damage
- Charged Slash (Q) — Sweeping charged attack hitting multiple targets
Why Craft the Secret Weapon?
The Secret Weapon two-shots Templars with direct AoE hits, yielding 21-25 fragments per Forge wave when used efficiently. This dramatically accelerates early progression toward Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. Many veterans recommend Secret Weapon before Stormbreaker if the Soul Stone drops early.
Secret Weapon vs Stormbreaker
Secret Weapon wins for Templar farming speed. Stormbreaker wins for Catacombs access, Bifrost travel, and long-term upgrades. Ideal path: Secret Weapon → farm fragments for Stormbreaker → keep Secret Weapon for Templar waves even after upgrading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the Soul Stone equipped?
No. Keep the Soul Stone in your inventory, not equipped. In Hardcore mode, you must hold it during forging.
Can I have both Secret Weapon and Stormbreaker?
Yes. Both remain in your inventory. Use Secret Weapon for Templar farming and Stormbreaker for travel and Catacombs.
How fast can I get 100 fragments with Secret Weapon?
With optimal AoE hits killing all 25 Templars per wave, expect 4-5 Forge activations for 100 fragments.
Is the Secret Weapon good in endgame?
It falls off compared to Upgraded Stormbreaker and the Cosmi-Rod, but remains useful for Templar fragment farming throughout.
