The Complete Arms of God All Weapons List & Location Guide

This is the complete Arms of God all weapons list, detailing every weapon across the four core categories: Mortal Steel, Hallowed Relics, Forbidden Scriptures, and Apostate's Tools. Finding the right weapon for your build is the single most important decision you'll make in the cursed city of Ecclesia. A powerful Hallowed Relic might seem appealing, but a well-infused Mortal Steel blade can carry you through the entire game with the right stats.

This guide covers the base stats, scaling, special skills, and precise locations for every armament. We'll break down not just what they are, but how to make them truly divine—or profane.

01

Mortal Steel: The Workhorses of Ecclesiatag

Mortal Steel weapons are the common, reliable armaments you'll find scattered throughout Ecclesia. While they lack the flashy, built-in skills of boss weapons, their strength lies in versatility. These are the only weapons that can be infused with an Ash of Penance, fundamentally changing their damage properties and scaling. They upgrade to a maximum of +25 using standard Divine Echoes. Do not underestimate them; a +25 Heavy Penitent's Blade on a Strength build is one of the highest damage-per-second setups in the game.

Here is a comprehensive table of all Mortal Steel weapons, their base stats, and where to find them.

02

Hallowed Relics: Wielding a God's Furytag

Hallowed Relics are the legendary weapons of Arms of God, each forged from the soul of a powerful boss or discovered in a hidden, sacred location. These weapons cannot be infused, but they come with unique skills, often called Laments, that cannot be found anywhere else. They upgrade to a maximum of +10 using the rare Somber Stones. Choosing a Hallowed Relic often means building your entire character around its unique properties.

Blade of the Weeping Sainttag

This elegant greatsword, born from the soul of Saint Adeline of the Choir, pulses with a soft, sorrowful light. It deals split Physical and Ethereal damage, making it effective against both armored and spectral foes.

• Type: Greatsword
• Damage: 124 (PHY), 80 (ETH)
• Scaling: D (STR), D (DEX), C (FTH)
• Weight: 11.0
• Skill: Tears of Penance: Plunge the sword into the ground to create a wide area-of-effect field that heals allies and damages enemies over time. Consumes a significant amount of Focus.
• Location: Acquired by trading the 'Soul of the Weeping Saint' with the Echo-Tender at the nexus.

Gaze of the Abysstag

An impossibly large greatsword seemingly carved from solidified darkness. Wielding it is a constant struggle against its corrupting influence. This weapon is a pure Strength powerhouse with a devastating skill.

• Type: Ultra Greatsword
• Damage: 168 (PHY)
• Scaling: B (STR), E (DEX)
• Weight: 22.5
• Skill: Void Gaze: A slow, powerful overhead slam that fires a projectile of abyssal energy. The projectile staggers even the largest foes, opening them up for a critical hit.
• Location: Acquired by trading the 'Soul of the Abyssal Watcher' with the Echo-Tender.

Moon-Tipped Speartag

Found at the peak of the Lunar Sanctum, this spear is rumored to be a sliver of the fallen moon itself. It boasts incredible range and a moveset that emphasizes nimble, evasive attacks. It scales primarily with Dexterity and Arcane.

• Type: Spear
• Damage: 115 (PHY), 75 (ETH)
• Scaling: E (STR), C (DEX), C (ARC)
• Weight: 8.5
• Skill: Lunar Phase: Perform a quick, evasive backstep that leaves behind a decoy of moonlight. Pressing the strong attack button during the backstep initiates a powerful lunging thrust from stealth.
• Location: Found resting on an altar at the very end of the Lunar Sanctum, a secret area accessed through the Starlit Grotto.

03

Forbidden Scriptures: Channeling the Unspeakabletag

Forbidden Scriptures are not weapons in the traditional sense, but catalysts used to cast the game's sorceries, known as Laments. Your choice of catalyst is crucial, as each one boosts specific types of Laments and scales differently with your Faith and Arcane stats. Cast speed is also a key factor, determining how quickly you can unleash your next spell.

Unlike other weapons, the raw damage of a catalyst is irrelevant; its power lies in its 'Lament Buff' stat, which is determined by its upgrade level and your character's attributes.

04

Apostate's Tools: Unconventional Warfaretag

For those who eschew tradition, the Apostate's Tools offer a different approach to combat. This category includes the game's only firearm and its most complex trick weapon. They are difficult to master but offer unique tactical advantages.

The Grave-Digger's Repeatertag

This multi-barrel firearm is a relic from a forgotten age. It doesn't use traditional ammunition, instead consuming the wielder's own health to fire shards of solidified blood. It cannot be aimed precisely but is devastating at close range for interrupting enemy attacks.

• Type: Firearm
• Damage: Scales with the Arcane stat.
• Special: Bloodshot: Each shot consumes a small portion of your HP to fire a blast of damaging shards. It is excellent for building up the Stagger meter on enemies.
• Location: Hidden in a coffin in the lowest level of the Weeping Sepulchre, guarded by several Grave Wardens.

The Inquisitor's Coiltag

At first glance, this appears to be a standard straight sword. However, its true power is unlocked by activating its skill, which transforms the rigid blade into a bladed whip. The whip form offers incredible range and can strike multiple enemies at once, but it is slower and consumes more stamina.

• Type: Trick Weapon
• Damage: 112 (PHY)
• Scaling: C (DEX)
• Weight: 7.0
• Skill: Uncoil: Transform the weapon between its straight sword and whip forms. The transformation itself is an attack and can be woven into combos.
• Location: Dropped by the final phantom of Inquisitor Vayne in the Mirrored Halls.

05

How Weapon Upgrades Worktag

Understanding the upgrade system is fundamental to surviving in Ecclesia. There are two separate paths, one for Mortal Steel and one for Hallowed Relics, and they use different materials. You'll perform all upgrades with the Blacksmith, a grim figure found in the central hub.

Using Somber Stones & Divine Echoestag

There are two primary upgrade materials. Their paths are mutually exclusive.

• Divine Echoes: These are common materials dropped by nearly all enemies and found throughout the world. They are used to upgrade Mortal Steel weapons from +1 all the way to +25. You will need hundreds of them to max out a single weapon.
• Somber Stones: These are much rarer and are used exclusively to upgrade Hallowed Relics and Forbidden Scriptures. They upgrade these special weapons on a scale from +1 to +10. Each upgrade provides a much larger leap in power than a single Divine Echo upgrade.

Infusions: The Power of Ashtag

Only Mortal Steel weapons can be infused. To do this, you must first find an Ash of Penance. Giving one to the Blacksmith unlocks the ability to imbue your standard weapons with new properties. This changes their name (e.g., Penitent's Blade becomes 'Heavy Penitent's Blade') and alters their damage type and stat scaling.

• Heavy Ash: Adds significant Strength scaling, reduces all other scaling.
• Keen Ash: Adds significant Dexterity scaling, reduces all other scaling.
• Blessed Ash: Adds Faith scaling and Ethereal damage, splitting its output.
• Profane Ash: Adds Arcane scaling and applies slow Bleed buildup on hit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)tag

What is the best starting weapon in Arms of God? The Penitent's Blade (Condemned starting class) is arguably the best. Its versatile moveset, low stat requirements, and ability to be infused make it a top-tier weapon that remains viable for the entire game on nearly any physical build.

Can you get boss weapons again if you sell them? No. Once you consume a boss soul to create a Hallowed Relic, that choice is permanent for that playthrough. If you sell or discard the weapon, it is gone until you begin New Game+. Choose wisely.

Where do you find Ash of Penance for infusions? The first one, the Heavy Ash, is found in the Sunken Cathedral, guarded by a large Cathedral Knight. Subsequent Ashes (Keen, Blessed, Profane) are found in later-game areas like the Grand Archives and the Weeping Sepulchre.

Is there a weapon that scales with both Faith and Arcane? No single weapon has strong scaling in both Faith and Arcane. The Disciple's Chime catalyst has C/C scaling in both, making it a good choice for a hybrid caster, but no melee weapons share this property. You generally have to choose one path for your Laments.

07

Final Judgmenttag

There is no single "best" weapon in Arms of God. Every armament on this list can be devastating in the right hands, with the right build. The true power comes from understanding the trade-offs: the raw, unique power of a Hallowed Relic versus the customizable, focused potential of an infused Mortal Steel blade. Experiment with different movesets, study enemy weaknesses, and forge the weapon that will let you finally silence the maddening hymns of Ecclesia.
