The variety of Moonlighter 2 equipment has no end, as the game features swords, long swords, spears, and gauntlets. With this much variety, it can get pretty confusing to pick a weapon. If you are struggling to choose one for yourself, then this Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault guide has got you covered.
How to Unlock Melee Weapons in Moonlighter 2
Getting this equipment won’t be that easy, as you must have the right materials and gold for it. Aside from that, you will also need to unlock their recipe by finishing quests for the blacksmith ANDREI. You can find them to the right of the Merchant’s house.
As for the materials, you will need to defeat some bosses to get them. Once you meet the requirement, head over to Andret to craft the weapon. Let’s take a look at the weapons and armors you can get in Moonlighter 2:
Large Swords
| Large Sword Names | Effects |
| Merchant’s Large Sword | Deal 20% damage when your Sharpness level is at 3. |
| The Vow | Attack doesn’t consume Sharpness but drains 2% amount per second. |
| Ultimate Large Sword | Maximum Sharpness is lowered by 1, raising the effectiveness of ailments by 10% potency. |
| Aetherium Heart (Special) | Your Attack refills Sharpness, but your Special attack will consume it. Your Special attack now deals 50% amount of damage per Sharpness level. |
Getting Aetherium Heart is a little different, as you will have to complete the “The Souls Forever Lost” quest by Julien, which requires you to defeat Senda and recover the King’s left mask material.
Short Swords
| Short Sword Names | Effects |
| Merchant’s Sword: | After your finisher, you will deal 40% amount of damage for 3 seconds. |
| Everlasting Fury: | Your Attack and Special Finisher now deal 60% amount of damage to Elites/ Minibosses/ and Bosses. |
| Ultimate Short Sword: | Your special finisher damage raises to 20% percent. Defeating an enemy will help you gain infinite ammo for 3 seconds. |
| Ray Axe (Special) | Special finisher can be performed after Attack Finisher, dealing 20% damage. |
Before starting Souls Forever Lost II, find lost prince Monte in the Howling Harbor to get the Ray Axe from Julien.
Spears
| Spear Names | Effects |
| Merchant’s Spear | Spearheads will deal 10% amount of damage. |
| The Rectifier | When the Spearheads return, they rotate around you for 5 seconds, doing 70% amount of damage. |
| Ultimate Spear | When Spearheads return, they home in on enemies, dealing a 85% amount of damage. |
| Combat Rod (Special) | When Spearheads return, they home in on enemies, dealing an 85% amount of damage. |
Like the other weapon categories, this one also has a special weapon, the Combat Rod. To get this, complete the Thief Trophy quest, which involves rescuing Masa in the Gallery with the Aetherium Heart sword.
Gauntlets
| Gauntlet Names | Effects |
| Merchant’s Gauntlets | Berserk duration increases to 3 seconds. |
| Sun and Moon Ballad | Once the Berserk Ends, your attack will hit twice for 3 seconds and deal 20% damage. |
| Ultimate Gauntlets | Each 12 Attacks gain a charge. Your special hits will hit 1 extra time per charge. |
| Heartbeat Hunter Gauntlets (Special) | In Berserk mode, take double damage but deal 40% damage. |
To get the Heartbeat Hunter Gauntlet, you will need to complete “A hidden treasure in the Gallery”. You will find a hidden route in the miniboss room in the Gallery area.
You can get the Ultimate version, but first, you will need to complete The Endless Vault IV quest. You will need to make 200,000 Gold by selling relics to complete the quest. You will get a hammer from the Vault, which you will need to hand over to the blacksmith to get better weapons.
How to Get All Armor in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault
To unlock new armors, you will need to defeat a miniboss in Kalina, The Gallery, and Aeolia. Let’s take a look at what armor might be the best for you.
| Armor Name | Effect | Upgrade Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Scarabastion | Take no damage from the first two hits from a dungeon boss. | Increases the number of free hits (e.g., three or more with higher upgrades). |
| Quincy, the Smart Coat | If health is above 80%, deal +20% damage. | Lowers the HP threshold needed to activate the damage bonus (eventually active even at 50% HP). |
| Zephyr Scales | Defeating a miniboss spawns a Common perk pedestal. | Higher upgrades improve pedestal rarity (from Epic up to Legendary). |
| Nou’s Gift | Grants +2 relic quality upon clearing a room without taking damage (scales with perfection). | Increased relic quality rewards based on flawless room clears. |
Unlocking Guns in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault
Head over to the east of the merchant’s place, where you will find Babyl near the large vault. Talk to them, and you will get some quests to unlock the guns in the store. Complete the quests, and you will unlock the guns. Check out the table below to see what gun might be the best for you.
| Weapon Name | Description / Effect | Upgrade Benefit | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blob Gun | The default weapon; deals decent base damage. | Can be upgraded at Babyl using Gold + materials. Requirements change as upgrades progress. | Default starting weapon. |
| Blo-Beam | A laser weapon that fires a powerful shot after a charge-up period. | Upgrades reduce charge time and greatly increase damage output. | In-game weapon (standard unlock). |
| BlO-Blaster | High firepower but slow fire rate—accuracy matters. | Benefits mostly from damage-focused upgrades. | The default weapon deals decent base damage. |
That’s all for this Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault guide on how to unlock new gear or equipment. I hope that this guide helped you.
