Weapons | Vigil The Longest Night Wiki

Weapon Handling

In Vigil: The Longest Night, there are four weapons that you can choose from and Leila can equip up to three weapons at once. To check your weapons, open the side menu, and select the equipment menu to view or change your weapons. When you are exploring or in the middle of the battle, Leila can swap weapons on the fly by pressing the corresponding button to switch weapons, this allows players to quickly adapt to certain situations to easily dispatch threats.

Each weapon has a fixed special action. By pressing the corresponding button for the special action Leila can:

• Block, Absorb, and Parry attacks with the Sword.
• Axes can be charged up to release a tremendous attack against enemies.
• Launch a critical attack that breaks enemy defenses when Daggers are equipped.
• And switch between unique types of arrows such as flaming or poison arrows if Leila is using the Bow.

Some weapons in the game have special moves, apart from special actions. Special moves for a weapon require the player to follow and press series of buttons to execute the weapon's move. For example, the Owl Claymore has the Leaping Spin move if you press Left, Right + Attack Button. Special moves consume Stamina when it is executed. You'll be able to identify if a weapon has a special move by checking the weapon in the equipment menu and look below the description/weapon stats box.

Weapon Modification

Weapons can be modified by forging or enchanting. Speak to Zachary at the Smithy in Maye Town for weapon modification. Forging requires Gold and Shimmer Stones to increase the weapon's level. The maximum level for a weapon to be forged is up to +7.

• +1 ~ +3 requires Small Shimmer Stone.
• +4 ~ +6 requires Triangular Shimmer Stone.
• +7 requires Hexagonal Shimmer Stone.

On the other hand, weapons can also be enchanted by forging gems to obtain unique buffs or effects. All equipment can be enchanted, except for rings. Take note that a weapon can only be enchanted once and the older gem's effect will be replaced if you re-enchant. Enchanting requires a certain amount of Gold and Gems.

• Glowing Ember applies the Scorching or Arsonous effect.
• Blood Shard applies the Giant or Bloodthirsty effect.
• Amber Spark grants the Sneaky or Paralysis effect.
• Thorite Crystal adds the Erosion or Rotten effect.
