About Nightfall weapons
Nightfall weapons do not sit in shops. You hunt seven schematics on the map, then forge each one at Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village after Lv65 starts The Forge quest.
Weapon progression ladder
Shop starters → boss and chest bases → early forge → Damascus and style upgrades → Nightfall / Firstlight schematics. This is the path into endgame crafts, not a full 57-weapon dump.
| Stage | Examples | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Shop starters | Regular Katana (500 Wen, Windy Peak) · Gauntlets · Fancy Katana (1,500 Wen — skip early) | Buy Regular Katana so Sword Mastery starts. Coin prices are Wen. |
| Boss / chest bases | Cutlass · style katanas (Flame, Water, Wind, Thunder, Sound, Insect, Serpent) · War Fans · Wagasa · Sickles · Claws · Axe and Mace · Scythe · Tanto · Spear | Path is Slayer, Demon, or Either. Farm the base that matches your Breathing or BDA before you craft upgrades. |
| Early forge | Shotgun (Lost Slayer schematic in Final Selection + 10,000 Wen) · Enryu / Shinkage / Tengoku from Yagane mats | Lv65 Forge quest with Togane still gates later Nightfall crafts. |
| Dungeon upgrades | Damascus line · Tornadic / Volcanic / Reverb / Butterfly / Serpentine / Thundercloud / Tidal · Seismic Axe and Mace | Craft from the matching base plus Metal Scraps, Mythic Refinement Ore, Silk Thread, and Points. Read the live recipe. |
| Endgame schematics | Nightfall set (7) · Firstlight Bladed Wagasa (Genzo after Damascus Wagasa) · other Firstlight / Lost Shotgun lines | Settled schematic spots below include Nightfall Katana, Nightfall Serpent Katana, and Firstlight Bladed Wagasa. Other Nightfall routes on this page are the farm paths we list for Togane crafts. |
Firstlight Bladed Wagasa
Settled Firstlight route: hold Damascus Bladed Wagasa, take the schematic from Wagasa Maker Genzo, then craft at Togane.
- Hold a Damascus Bladed Wagasa in inventory.
- Talk to Wagasa Maker Genzo — he hands the Firstlight Bladed Wagasa schematic.
- Craft at Togane after The Forge is open. The finished Wagasa keeps Sun Immunity (+5.75 Additional Damage, 1.15× ADF — confirm live HUD).
Nightfall schematics table
Seven schematics cover Nightfall Katana at Mistfall Harbor docks, Axe and Mace on the Bamboo Grove mountain building, Scythe in Iceveil Valley underwater tunnels, Gauntlets from Stonemason Tobei with three statues at 100 hits each, Claws from Butterfly Estate, Sickles after pulling all 10 levers on one server, and Serpent Katana from Serpent Keys under the docks into Dreamfall Hollow. Detailed routes follow below.
| Weapon | Area | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Nightfall Katana | Mistfall Harbor docks | Dive at the docks waterfall, swim into the underwater opening, climb the right-corner platform in the cave |
| Nightfall Axe & Mace | Bamboo Grove mountain building | Enter the mountaintop building and climb the small platforms to the top — Double Jump and Wall Climb alone often fall short; a mobility skill helps |
| Nightfall Scythe | Iceveil Valley underwater | Dive to the statue, go behind it into a deeper air pocket, then follow the tunnel turns listed below |
| Nightfall Gauntlets | Hidden Mist Village quest | Start Stonemason Tobei's quest, activate three statues (100 hits each), return to Tobei |
| Nightfall Claws | Butterfly Estate | From the shrine, bridge into the water, go right, jump the wall to a waterfall cave opening, follow the path |
| Nightfall Sickles | Map-wide levers → Forgotten Ruins | Pull all 10 hidden levers, then enter the secret door in Forgotten Ruins |
| Nightfall Serpent Katana | Mistfall Harbor keys → Dreamfall Hollow | Farm Serpent Keys underwater at Mistfall Harbor docks, open the chest behind the green wall in Dreamfall Hollow |
Nightfall Katana
Dive at the Mistfall Harbor docks waterfall, swim into the underwater opening, then climb the right-corner platform in the cave for the schematic.
Reach the Mistfall Harbor docks waterfall
Mark the docks waterfall on the map, then jump into the water in front of it.
Swim into the underwater opening
Dive and swim through the opening behind the waterfall into the cave.
Climb the right-corner platform
Inside the cave, head to the right corner, climb the platform, and take the Nightfall Katana Schematic.
Nightfall Axe & Mace
Enter the Bamboo Grove mountaintop building and climb the small roof platforms. Double Jump and Wall Climb alone often fall short; a mobility skill helps.
The schematic is in a building on top of a mountain in Bamboo Grove. Inside, climb the small platforms to the roof. Double Jump and Wall Climb alone often miss the ledges; Insect Breathing C (or another mobility skill) makes the jumps reliable.
Nightfall Scythe tunnel route
In Iceveil Valley, dive to the underwater statue, enter the deeper air pocket behind it, then follow left, left, right, left, right through the tunnels.
- Dive at the marked Iceveil Valley water spot and find the statue.
- Swim behind the statue and drop into the deeper hidden pocket. You can breathe there and stop taking constant water damage even without a lantern.
- From the drop: go straight, take the first left.
- Keep going, take the first left again.
- Take the first right.
- Go straight, then take the first left.
- At the end of that path, take a right and go straight to the schematic.
Nightfall Gauntlets (Tobei)
Start Stonemason Tobei's quest in Hidden Mist Village, activate three statues with 100 hits each, then return to Tobei for the schematic.
Talk to Stonemason Tobei in Hidden Mist Village. He sits inside a house across from the fishing-supplies building. After you talk, activate all three statues, then return for the schematic.
| Statue | Where | How |
|---|---|---|
| Windy Peak | Cave near Windy Peak Shrine; statue on the right as you enter | Hit 100 times with a Demon Art or Breathing Style skill |
| Dungeons bridge | Statue holding two swords on the right side of the bridge | Hit 100 times with any sword |
| Hidden Mist Village peak | Climb the mountain above the village using tree branches to the top | Hit 100 times after you reach the summit statue |
Nightfall Claws
From the Butterfly Estate shrine, bridge into the water, go right, jump the wall to a waterfall cave opening, then follow the path to the schematic.
Start at Butterfly Estate Shrine
Teleport to the shrine, walk toward the bridge, and jump into the water.
Find the waterfall cave
Keep going right, jump over the wall to a waterfall, then enter the small opening into the hidden cave.
Claim the schematic
Follow the cave path to the Nightfall Claws Schematic.
Nightfall Sickles
Pull all 10 levers on one server, then claim the schematic through Forgotten Ruins before the server resets the lever progress.
Pull all 10 levers
Ten levers hide across the map. Pull every one on the same server so the Forgotten Ruins secret door opens.
Enter Forgotten Ruins
Find the secret door that unlocked after the levers, then take the Nightfall Sickles Schematic inside.
Example craft cost table
Once you have the Nightfall Sickles schematic, a common craft list shows 1 Demonic Sickles, 1 schematic, 1,000 Silk, 1,000 Metal Scraps, and 1,000,000 Yen or Wen. Read the live Togane card before you dump mats.
| Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Demonic Sickles | 1 |
| Nightfall Sickles Schematic | 1 |
| Silk | 1,000 |
| Metal Scraps | 1,000 |
| Yen / Wen | 1,000,000 |
Nightfall Serpent Katana
Collect Serpent Keys under Mistfall Harbor docks, then open the Dreamfall Hollow chest behind the green wall for the schematic.
Farm Serpent Keys at Mistfall Harbor
Dive at the Mistfall Harbor docks and grab as many Serpent Keys as you can in one trip.
Enter the Dreamfall Hollow cave
Travel to Dreamfall Hollow, follow the path ahead, then move to the right corner of the cave.
Open the chest behind the green wall
Go behind the green wall, climb the platform on your right, and open the chest with the correct Serpent Key.
Craft at Blacksmith Togane
Lv65 starts The Forge quest with Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village. Schematics alone do not unlock crafts — finish Togane's objective first, then bring the matching base weapon for V2 upgrades.
Start The Forge at level 65
Talk to Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village and choose The Forge. Follow the objective to the Ouwigahara portal beyond Mistfall Harbor — reaching 65 alone does not unlock the new crafts.
Read the Nichirin recipe before farming
Later crafts can need Metal Scrap, Silk Thread, Mythic Refinement Ore, a schematic, and a prerequisite weapon. Keep those mats and your current weapon until you know what the recipe consumes.
Craft with schematic and materials
With the matching schematic in Schematics inventory, open Togane's menu and forge. Firstlight and Nightfall are longer-term targets — one upgrade goal per farm session.
Which Nightfall schematic to chase
Flame and Thunder usually chase Nightfall Katana at about +5.75 Additional Damage and 1.14x ADF. Stone wants Axe and Mace. Blood Manipulation wants Sickles. Insect and Sound stay on Firstlight style-locked lines.
- Flame / Thunder schematics: Nightfall Katana (+5.75 Additional Damage, 1.14× ADF). Confirm live HUD if a patch shifts the numbers.
- Stone schematic: Nightfall Axe & Mace.
- Serpent schematic: Nightfall Katana or Nightfall Serpent Katana (Serpent ADF was tuned late Sept — read the weapon card).
- Insect / Sound: stay on Firstlight style-locked lines — no Nightfall Katana swap.
- Blood Manipulation: Nightfall Sickles. Fast pressure: Nightfall Claws. AoE specialist: Nightfall Scythe (slower in PvP).
- V2 / upgraded crafts need the matching base weapon in inventory before Togane accepts the recipe.
All-round Firstlight picks and full loadouts are on Breathing and Demon. Clan pairings are on Clans.
Firstlight / Nightfall gear tuning list
Late-Sept pass shared Max Health style bonuses across Firstlight and Nightfall armor, added First Light and Nightfall Hunt Tier 3 set procs, trimmed bleed and Serpent ADF, and added Hagane plus Togane transfers at 25% of upgrade cost. Read percentages in-game.
- Firstlight and Nightfall armor share the same Max Health style bonus as other gear lines (replacing older stacking set math).
- First Light (Tier 3 Top + Bottom): low-health survival proc — heal + damage reduction for a few seconds. Confirm values in-game.
- Nightfall Hunt (Tier 3 Top + Bottom): bonus damage vs low-health enemies. Confirm the % on your HUD.
- Nightfall bleed and Nightfall Serpent Katana ADF were trimmed in the same pass — re-check weapon cards after refining.
- Hagane Transfer moves refinement between items (Guards guarantee success). Togane Transfer swaps Firstlight / Nightfall tiers at 25% of the upgrade cost; unequip both pieces first.
- World Event boss chests now drop a wider Coin Pouch range — useful when you need forge currency.
