In this Darksiders III Weapon Enhancements Guide, we will show you how to all the type of enhancements that are available in the game, as well as highlight the stat that will increase with each enhancement that you apply on your weapon of choice.
Although your weapons are upgradeable with the help of crafting ingredients and Ulthane, upgrading your weapons is not the only way to boost their effectiveness. Weapon Enhancements can be attached into each of the six weapons that Fury wields, and they provide various unique benefits that range from increased damage output, bonus Health, and extended Havoc Form duration. The best part of all is that Weapon Enhancements can be swapped from weapon to weapon as new ones are acquired.
There are few ways you can find Weapon Enhancements in Darksiders III. You can find the enhancements from the wild, can be taken from Vulgrim, or even given to you as a gift.
Darksiders III Weapon Enhancements Guide
Below we will show how Enhancements work, with their state of upgrade, and finally we will list all the stats of each enhancement ranging from their ingredients to their Health and Damage boosts.
Darksiders III – Weapon Enhancements Basics
Enhancements offer an active benefit that relies on using the weapon that it is attached to, as well as a passive benefit that comes from simply having it socketed. However, you do not need to have the weapon’s Hollow active in order to receive the passive benefit.
When a weapon is acquired by you in the game, it is always found in its Unfocused State. From the Unfocused state it can be upgraded three times along the Angelic Path and the Demonic Path. Angelic upgrades typically focus on improving Fury’s survivability, while the Demonic upgrades increase her offensive capabilities.
Finally, the last version of the enhancement that can be crafted is the Balanced version, which maximizes the Angelic and Demonic benefits of the item. To reach the Balanced upgrade of a weapon, you need to gather 12 artifacts that are necessary for the other upgrade path
Darksiders III Weapon Enhancements – Stats and Requirements
As mentioned before, there are 12 artifacts that you can find. Angelic and Demonic Artifact locations are marked on the accompanying maps and highlighted throughout the text. You’ll need dozens of them to fully upgrade the half dozen enhancements, so don’t pass one up.
An Essence of a Chosen, necessary to fully upgrade an enhancement, can only be obtained by slaying a Chosen foe. There are five Chosen in the game, thus limiting your ability to fully upgrade all weapon enhancements.
