How to unlock every weapon type in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
All weapons except Defender and Terminus can be crafted at the Blacksmith, and once unlocked, they are available for all characters. Here’s how to obtain each weapon type in Granblue Fantasy: Relink:
Defender Weapons
Defender weapons are automatically obtained when new characters are unlocked, requiring no additional steps.
Stunner Weapons
Craft Stunner weapons at the Blacksmith in Chapter 6. Visit the Blacksmith in Seedhollow and utilize Champion Merits and Boss treasures for crafting.
Executioner and Stinger Weapons
These become craftable at the Blacksmith at the start of Chapter Seven. Craft them using Boss Treasures, Elemental Orbs, and Champion Merits. The specific Orbs and Treasures depend on the weapon.
Ascension Weapons
Craft Ascension Weapons at the Blacksmith after completing the main story and unlocking Extreme difficulty quests. These require Champion Merits, Elemental Orbs, Boss Treasures, and Elemental Shards.
Terminus Weapons
Terminus Weapons cannot be crafted. They may drop from the most challenging quest, The Tale of Bahamut’s Rage, in Proud difficulty. However, it’s not a guaranteed drop, and only one random Terminus Weapon is obtained per mission. Expect to repeat the quest multiple times (at least 19) to collect all Terminus Weapons.
