Thymesia Plague Weapons Guide - How To Get And Upgrade

Thymesia is the new gothic post-apocalyptic Souls-like game from Overborder Studios and Team17, so players can expect to battle many deadly (or undeadly) creatures in the game. Fortunately, there are several powerful Plague Weapons for players to obtain and upgrade, some more easily acquired than others.

Naturally, upgrading Plague Weapons will drastically boost its damage potential, allowing you to progress further and unlock all the trophies and achievements in the game. This guide details all the methods you can get and upgrade Plague Weapons in Thymesia, including everything to know about Skill Shards.

Thymesia - How to unlock Plague Weapons

There are two methods to get Plague Weapons in Thymesia: The first method is by stealing the weapon from your enemy (also called "Reaving"), and the second is by farming them by defeating certain enemies or bosses in the game.

In the first instance, you will need to charge up your Ravenclaw attack, grab the enemy and pull the Plague Weapon off that enemy. Unfortunately, these weapons are temporary, so they aren't reliable options for most players.

In the second instance, you will need to obtain three Skill Shards specific to a Plague Weapon before you can unlock it; these will drop after the enemy wielding the weapon is defeated. Once you have three Skill Shards, you can unlock the Plague Weapon via a Beacon or at Philosopher's Hill.

You will presumably need to fight bosses multiple times to acquire enough Skill Shards to unlock their Plague Weapon drops in Thymesia. It's also worth noting that Skill Shards drop randomly upon the death of killing enemies or bosses -- the rate at which these drops may depend on the enemy slain.

As you might imagine, you likely won't have any Plague Weapons at the start of Thymesia. But don't worry; your hard work and dedication will eventually pay off. Lastly, some weapons may include additional variations called Extended Actions; these are only unlocked when the weapon is fully maxed out. You can use Extended Actions only once the weapon is maxed out. 

Thymesia - How to upgrade Plague Weapons

Upgrading Plague Weapons in Thymesia also requires Skill Shards. Typically speaking, the more advanced the weapon upgrade, the more Skill Shards you'll need to spend. Depending on which Plague Weapon you're upgrading in Thymesia will largely influence how many Skill Shards you'll require; however, in most cases, the upgrade will be worth it, offering you damage buffs or perks.

Notably, you can equip a maximum of three skill upgrades (or "Talents") per Plague Weapon; upgrading these will also require Skill Shards specific to the weapon. Most starting players will only be able to equip two skills, each consuming a temporary and permanent slot (assuming they've completed the tutorial). However, you can unlock a third (permanent) slot later in the game (Plague Weapon Level 2).
