Holy Weapons (MHEX2)

Back to: MHEX2

Holy Weapons are weapons that are ancient and regarded as sacred relics of an ancient civilization. They appear as all weapon types, and, unlike Relic weapons and armor (which also appear in MHEX2), have their own unique appearance compared to relic weapons (which usually look like color swaps of existing weapons). Holy Weapons have predetermined stats and appearances that depend on the rank of the free hunt they are found in, and if in a guild quest, what monster is the target.

When first found they are "Locked", and can't be used in this form, but can be "Polished" like Relic Equipment, in Sovera Village by the Charrelian Weapon Blesser, Who will Cleanse the Locked Holy Weapon, in exchange for Devil's Bane plants and Wisp materials that correspond to the weapon's rank, and will upgrade the Holy Weapon if you give him the right type of Wisp-stone (which can vary by rank).

The Charrelian Weapon Blesser will offer his services after the Village Quest "Holy Springwater Escort" is complete.

Devil's Bane can be found in Origal Ruins, while Wisp materials can be carved from Wisp infested creatures that you kill.

Notes and Trivia

 * Holy Weapons actually are always better than Relic Weapons and normally forged weapons in terms of stats and get even better with each upgrade, and thus are worth looking for.
 * Holy Weapons, with the exception of Artifact Weapons, have randomized names.
 * Some Holy Weapons come with at least one skill for the hunter that cannot be obtained by gems or other means of gaining Armor skills.
 * Each Weapon Class has many possible Holy Weapons, each with it's own form, and color/pattern.
