The Last Faith is a brutal combination of Castlevania and Bloodborne. It combines the unforgiving gameplay of the Soulsborne games with an exploration of the Castlevania games. This game sends you against hordes of enemies, and you can only rely on yourself and your trusty weapons to defend yourself.

The Last Faith: full list of weapons
There are 13 weapons in the game, and each of them has its ups and downs. You can upgrade them, but I would recommend unlocking all the weapons and then, during replays, choosing the best one for each situation. The weapons in Last Faith are as follows, in unlock order:
- Blade of Nightfall
- Skull Cutter
- Nighttide’s rout
- Gaff Blade
- Great Ethereal Blade
- Macewhip storm chaser
- Spinal Chain Blade
- Indemnity Reaper
- Illygrarth’s Boreal Blade
- Firestrike Blade
- Holy Winged Ax
- The Devourer of the Betrayed
- The blood rift
Blade of Nightfall
The Twilight Blade is your first weapon, and you will get it at the start of the campaign. It’s a simple short blade with no stats that excels. Nevertheless, it is very practical in close combat situations.
Skull Cutter
Now for the big hitters. SkullCleaver is a slow but powerful weapon. This weapon is found in the Broken pass area. If you like slow weapons that deal a lot of damage in one powerful hit, this weapon is good for you.
Nighttide’s rout
Remember how much the Belmonts loved using whips in Castlevania? This weapon is an obvious homage to that. This whip-like weapon is found in the City of Mythringal. Although it doesn’t have a great damage value, Nighttide Rout’s range is excellent and it comes in very handy against flying type enemies.
Gaff Blade
The Blunderblade and Nightfall Blade are two very similar short weapons. After saving the blacksmith in the City of Mythringal, you can buy the weapon from him. Blunderblade isn’t very distinctive, except for the ability to knock back during a combo.
Great Ethereal Blade
This name sounds mean, and for good reason. This blade is one of the best weapons the game has to offer. Relative to its size, it is long, fast, and deals high damage. The article is available in the Drowned Crypt area of the map. Upgrade the Great Ethereal Blade at the highest level until the very end is something I highly recommend.
Macewhip storm chaser
As the name suggests, this weapon is a combination of a mace and a whip. We already have a whip-like weapon, Nighttide’s Rout. However, unlike Rout, Stormchaser is a hard-hitting weapon with excellent damage stats. This will be useful in the middle of the game. To find this weapon you need to explore the Esk Manor.
Spinal Chain Blade
Another amazing weapon that can be found in the middle of the game is the Spinal Chain Blade. It has range, a respectable attack bonus, and a special move that deals damage similar to a dark spell. You can grab the weapon in the Liturgical Pass.
Indemnity Reaper
This is another weapon of the highest class in the game. It resembles a scythe and has great combo ability, high speed, and great range. The latter is also very useful against certain flying enemies in the middle of the game. You will find the Reaper in the Damned Ruins of Osseus Fortress.
Illygrarth’s Boreal Blade
The Illygrath Boreal Blade is another solid steel blade that you should have in your collection. It functions like any other blade in the game, but what makes it unique is its Frozen enchantment, which allows you to stun your opponents and move them in combat. After defeating the boss Starlight Beast in Moonshade Lakeyou can get the weapon back.
Firestrike Blade
The name of this weapon is quite evocative. The Firestriker Blade has two attack modes, both involving elements of fire. With the first you can use the blade as a flamethrower, and with the second you can shoot a wave of fire forward. Both are extremely powerful and equally deadly against stronger opponents. Later in the game, the blacksmith will sell you the weapon for Nycrux.
Holy Winged Ax
In the late game, the Holy Winged Ax is a decent weapon. Moves like the simultaneous forward and backward dash and Frost enchantment attacks are among the highlights. However, given its lack of range and damage output compared to other endgame weapons, it is inferior to other endgame weapons. You can discover the Sacred Winged Ax by exploring the Gardens of the reigning palace.
The Devourer of the Betrayed
That’s a really cool name for a weapon. However, the weapon itself doesn’t live up to its name. The Devourer of the Betrayed is a dark enchantment sword that resembles a katana. He’s pretty fast and handles dark style attacks, but other than that he’s nothing special. You can find this katana in the Mythringal Crypt Skull Areas.
The blood rift
Without a doubt, the best weapon in the game is the Blood Rift. It is the highest damage weapon, capable of dealing up to 900 damage in a single hit if upgraded to maximum level. Additionally, it is a very vicious weapon due to the blood type enchantment and AOE style attacks. After filling out the four chalices of blood in the cursed ruins of Osseus Fortressyou can get this weapon.
