Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks what is the most poweful weapon in the game?

i cant seem to find a good weapon in the game i need some help looking for a very powerful sword at least 1 handed or 2 handed. can any one else help me with this small problem?

Where are you, and what level?

In addition to the relevant weapon expertise, Bleed is quite helpful.

The majority of my equipment I got from random loot, chests and the occasional quest reward (my first choice was experience, though, when there was an option). I did purchase some equipment, though more so near the end of the game.

Have you maxed Lockpick? Some people wait to learn that skill, to get better quality loot if they open locked chests at a higher level. By then you basically end up with more gold (which is easy to get, especially after getting the battle tower) and possibly equipment upgrades that you obviously were not in great need of, if you could wait to open the chests.

Have you gone back and checked the merchants in the village, etc, since you last leveled? Merchant inventories should be reset each time you level.

If you save before getting too near a merchant/chest or running the crosshairs over them/it, you can check the inventory and reload if there is nothing of value. I wouldn't waste a lot of time reloading, though, especially since the game seems to keep track of how long it has been since you last loaded the game, and tends to give you better loot if you don't reload. Due to the random item generation, though, you can get better loot sometimes if you try a few times, which can come in handy for chests that always give a good quality item (ie the chest that will be opened if you mindread Lovis) or boss type opponents that always drop something when defeated (save just before finishing them off), etc.

I started off duel wielding swords, then switched to axes, since they started having better damage. About mid game I switched to hammers, and then towards the end was back to a sword / axe combo.

Most powerful?
That's depends on what you can handle and have most fun with

I have most fun with a Bow and/or a Two-handed Sword

Plus the question is in which STATs (strength, dexerity or intelligence) you put the most points and what you choose to play most ?! >>> a Warrior, a Ranger or a Mage or a combination of .... ?

The best weapon I found was from the demon Ba'al in the mine (available after you have the battle tower and level a bit), though I went there fairly late in the game. I saved before defeating him, and reloaded a couple times to get:

(Unique) Paladin's Well Crafted Heavy Noble Hammer of the Snake
damage: 61-75
+39 melee damage
+31 Hit Points
+3 Vitality
+4 Strength
2 charm slots
3 enchantment slots (Increased Damage 9 / Increased Magical Damage 9 / Poison 9)


duel wielded with the following, also found relatively late in the game

(Legendary) Disintegrating Normal Heavy Noble Sword of Doom
damage: 44-73
+39 melee damage
+29 magic damage
1 charm slot
1 enchantment slot (Increased Damage 9)


You can get an idea what the best weapons are from the topic below, but it will contain lots of spoilers.

Finished Divinity II ? Tell us with which stats.

I really wonder if Ba'al can really drop any Unique armor or weapon,because I tried save/load for around 40 to 50 times,but everytime only two legendary thing dropped.So is that true Ba'al can drop unique armor or weapon ?

What level were you? Ba'al is level 30, so I assume you were at least in the high twenties.
When I took him out (level 34) he always dropped unique class equipment, but there may be a level requirement (ie the merchant in High Hall only starts carrying legendary quality equipment once you reach about level 30).

I was planning on taking Ba'al out earlier in my next game, but that could end up being counter productive, assuming that isn't changed too much in DKS.

(Legendary)Paladin's Magical Light Noble Hammer of Destruction
one-handed warhammer

Melee damage 5-6
Magical damage 44-53

31+magical damage
38+mana
27+hitpoint

increase your magical damage by 24

empty charm slot
if my memory is correct i got it from the reward of the blind philosopher.

I am a mage in the game and invest 50 points in intelligence. Since the weapon magical damage depends on intelligence as well, I got a 229-243 weapon magical damage from a single one-handed hammer. So for me only, it's even more powerful than (Unique) Paladin's Well Crafted Heavy Noble Hammer of the Snake.

But in real battle I still heavily rely on magical spell like magical blast and fire wall, for I didn't put skill points in some warrior skills.

just checked the saved game,I was level 35 while I killed ba'al.And I just tried to load and kill it for 10 more times,still the same result,always two legendary thing.I'm playing the PC version v1.0.13.19,not sure if it is a bug?

Mine is v1.3.15.112 and Ba'al drops two uniques every time, rather than two legendary items.

Well, it isn't level dependent, so I'd guess it was a change between releases. Is there a 1.03 patch for your version? Updates for digital releases need to come through the respective distributor, otherwise check here.

Perhaps not entirely the right topic to ask, but can anyone tell me the way how the quality of the items go Including their color if not much to ask for!!

i think it goes white, green, light blue, dark green, neon? green, dark blue, bright red and dark red(common/uncommon, magical, rare, heroic, legendary, elder, epic, unique). this is not including the named/set items. although not quite sure if legendary comes before elder.

so the Named Items, like the Gold Coloured items are the best?!? And Elder is Dark Blue Legendary is bright green, Epic is bright red and Unique is dark Red, Rare is Bright Blue (Cyan), Heroic is dark Green, Common/Uncommon are white. Magical is a darker green then Legendary, but less dark then Heroic

So Far this is the highest damage weapon I encountered (1h Sword) so far and I really like it:
