Elden Ring Nightreign: How to upgrade weapons to legendary or at least epic
It’s a long way to the bottom if you wanna rock ’n’ roll against the Night Lords.
In Elden Ring Nightreign, upgrading weapons is essential for surviving Limveld and taking down the Nightlords. Whether you’re aiming for Epic-tier weapons or pushing your gear to Legendary status, here’s everything you need to know about weapon upgrades and how to obtain them.
How to Obtain Epic and Legendary Weapons
You can acquire Epic and Legendary weapons in several ways:
- Defeat roaming world bosses – These Great Enemies have a high chance of dropping Legendary weapons, especially on Day 2 when you’ve powered up.
- Complete Shifting Earth events – The Crater event is one of the best places to farm Legendary weapons, as it packs multiple bosses into a small area.
- Loot chests in high-risk zones – Some Epic weapons can be found in hidden chests located in fortresses and ruins.
Unlike lower-tier weapons, Epic and Legendary weapons cannot be purchased from merchants—they must be earned through gameplay.
How to Upgrade Weapons to Epic Rarity
Epic weapons are one step below Legendary, but they still offer powerful passives and enhanced stats. To upgrade a weapon to Epic rarity, follow these steps:
- Find a Smithing Table – These are located near merchants across Limveld.
- Obtain Smithing Stone [2] – This rare upgrade material is found in mines, dropped by bosses like Mad Pumpkin Head, Stone Digger Troll, and Golden Knight.
- Upgrade at the Smithing Table – Use Smithing Stone [2] to enhance your weapon from Rare (blue) to Epic (purple).
Epic weapons provide stronger damage scaling, better weapon arts, and unique passive effects, making them ideal for mid-to-late game expeditions.
How to Upgrade Weapons to Legendary Rarity
Legendary weapons are the strongest in the game, offering exclusive abilities and unmatched power. However, upgrading to Legendary rarity requires a special event:
- Complete the Shifting Earth: Crater Event – This world event transforms a region into a volcanic warzone, unlocking a unique Smithing Table capable of upgrading weapons to Legendary rarity.
- Defeat the Magma Wyrm – This boss fight is required to access the Legendary upgrade station.
- Use the Crater Smithing Table – Once unlocked, you can upgrade Epic weapons to Legendary status, granting gold-tier abilities and passives.
Legendary weapons include Blasphemous Blade, Dark Moon Greatsword, and Starscourge Greatsword, each offering game-changing effects.
Upgrading and obtaining weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign is key to survival, whether you’re aiming for Epic-tier power or Legendary dominance. Make sure to farm bosses, explore high-risk zones, and complete Shifting Earth events to maximize your arsenal.
