Blades Of Fire – How To Earn Weapon Reputation

by

In the tale of Blades of Fire, I find myself deeply connected to the heroic journey of protagonist Aran de Lira, whose unyielding spirit and indomitable strength are fueled by his unique ability to wield steel. This enigmatic substance is not just any ordinary metal; it’s the key to Aran overcoming his adversaries and the fearsome creatures that plague the realms under the cruel rule of Queen Nerea.

The malevolent Queen has cast a curse upon all steel, transforming it into stone and rendering it useless for everyone except her troops. However, Aran possesses the rare skill to craft his own steel in pursuit of slaying the Queen. These weapons, though, can only be used a limited number of times before they become damaged or obsolete. Fortunately, when Aran’s tools of battle are no longer serviceable, he can either recycle them for additional resources or trade them in for superior materials if they have gained enough recognition and prestige.

When Can You Start Earning Weapon Reputation?

In simpler terms, your weapon doesn’t become renowned from the get-go; you need to advance in the game’s story to unlock this feature. Character Aran de Lira can start building his weapon reputation once he discovers an elderly master craftswoman named Glinda hidden in the Kar-Lethel Swamps. During their first meeting, she flees after opening a gate in the Hollow Plains. To find her again, Aran must navigate through the swamps until he reaches the Angel’s Cliff Anvil located in the southwestern part of the swamp region.

In the game Blades of Fire, a scene unfolds introducing characters Aran and Glinda. This scene continues until it’s disrupted by the Queen’s Hounds. Once you defeat these hounds, return to Glinda who bestows upon Aran the ability to communicate with the Blue Ladies. This power allows him to uncover new routes to the Crimson Fort and summon forest birds to report his exploits on the battlefield. These reports boost the reputation and fame of his weapons.

In Blades of Fire, Aran meets Glinda in a scene. However, this meeting is interrupted by the Queen’s Hounds. Defeat them, then talk to Glinda again who gives Aran the power to speak with Blue Ladies. This ability helps him find secret paths to the Crimson Fort and summons birds from the forest to share news of his battles. These reports increase the renown of his weapons.

How To Gain Reputation In Blades Of Fire

Despite Aran receiving the capacity to garner reputation for his weapons, the process isn’t explicitly detailed. Fortunately, the approach to gaining reputation is linked to the number of foes Aran slays in battle and the manner in which he eliminates them. Here’s how Aran can increase his weapon’s renown:

1. Kill enemies on the field.
2. Execute enemies in unique or strategic ways.

By following these steps, Aran can enhance the reputation of his weapons.

  • Finishing attacks performed by holding down the attack buttons to decapitate an enemy at their weak point will earn more fame.
  • One-hit kills from the front or behind on one or two enemies at once will gain more fame. Greatswords like the Claymore are perfect for one-hit kills.
  • Killing multiple enemies with the same weapon earns more fame for the weapon.
  • The weapons seem to gain a reputation faster by killing powerful enemies like Trolls, Elementals, Carmine Sentries, and Vermillion Nurses.

At first, Aran’s weapons will be identified as “ordinary.” However, as they become more recognized, their labels will evolve from “common” to “well-known,” and so forth.

After Aran builds up a good standing with his weapons, swiftly return to Glinda’s residence and exchange them for materials. Remember to fully utilize each weapon before trading, since they will be irrevocably deleted from your inventory upon exchange.
