10 Very Rare Video Game Weapons

For the best chance of winning or achieving a 100% completion rate, be sure to track down these valuable video game items, and here are 10 powerful video game weapons that you only have one chance to get

10 Very Rare Video Game Weapons

Scourge of the Ages – Baldur’s Gate 2

In Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, there are a few weapons that can turn things around faster than the Scourge of the Ages. To acquire this beast, players need to know exactly what to do. First, they must go to Diana’s fortress and locate the four specific components of the scourge. Once these coins are brought to Roger the fence in the temple district, he will be able to forge this monster effortlessly. The Scourge of the Ages easily cuts Baldur’s Gate 2’s enemies to size and disrupts magical attacks, leaving the spell casters with little chance of retaliating while handling the beast. Even the most powerful golems, dragons or trolls should not pose a threat. However, it is very easy to miss the scourge because of a villain named Torgal in the very last room of the fortress. If you leave after defeating it instead of looking for these components, the multi-headed scourge disappears forever. Since there is no indication that the weapon is only available for a short period of time, it can easily be missed, especially during the first game.

A321 Plasma Rifle – Fallout 3

In Fallout 3, if players want to survive in the post-apocalyptic desert, they should look for the A321 plasma rifle as soon as possible. With its abundant ammo, high firepower, and high load capacity, this energy weapon melts enemies in seconds with a single shot. This plasma gun has no counterpart. However, this superpowerful weapon is only available after completing the secondary quest “The Replicated Man”. The mission involves locating an android named Harkness who is hiding from its creator, Dr. Zimmer. Although the quest will not be difficult or long, some actions will have irreversible consequences. Yes, Zimmer and Harkness want different things. The players have to decide which side to side with. If you go with the android, he will offer you his plasma gun. But if Harkness is sold to his master, the A321 disappears. While taking sides with Zimmer offers other rewards, they are not of the same calibre as this super-powerful Fallout 3 rifle. If you’re looking forward to equipping one of Fallout 3’s best weapons, be sure to support Harkness.

The Hyper Chip – Mega Man X3

In Mega Man X3, the titular robot can improve its powers by collecting energy tanks, secondary tanks and armor upgrades. In addition to that, there are four Pink Capsules that further enhance X’s abilities. However, there is a catch: once the Blue Bomber accepts an upgrade from a Pink Capsule, the other three disappear. Fortunately, there is a way, but only if X deliberately avoids the pink capsules. To do this, you need to collect all the items in the game and go to the last step. After defeating the first mini-boss, descend into the first hole and press the left wall. If you avoid all the upgrades, you will discover another secret pink capsule that gives X the Hyper chip. This upgrade greatly expands X-charged fire, allows it to regenerate health, take half the damage of enemies, consume less weapon energy, and perform a double air boost.

Ice Arrows – The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time

After completing the Gerudo Forest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link enters a new area called the Gerudo Training Ground. While our hero travels through this maze, he gets a series of small keys by using these keys to unlock the locked doors of the facility, Link is rewarded with ice arrows that can freeze the enemies in place. However, getting these icy projectiles is not easy. Link must be equipped with almost all items in the game, including the truth lens, iron boots, the Megaton hammer and silver gloves, all scattered throughout the game world. In addition, there are two ways to reach the ice arrows: one sealed by seven locked doors, the other by eight. With only seven keys to find, reaching the ice arrows becomes impossible if Link takes the wrong path. If that happens, it’s not the end of the world, because ice arrows are not required to finish the game, but it’s still boring to miss them, because ice arrows are by far the most powerful projectiles in Ocarina.

The Satori ? Cyberpunk 2077

Firearms are a sensible choice in Cyberpunk 2077, as they allow V to stay away from enemies while dealing damage. However, using a katana is much more fun. Swords may not have as much range, but they compensate in their striking power, as they can eliminate bad guys at lightning speed, especially when making a stealth attack. The game Cyberpunk 2077 offers the most powerful blade, the Satori, from the first act. However, it is important to point out the ?may?, as the Satori sword is only available for a short period of time after Saburo?s death during the break-in mission. T-Bug will order V out instead of following orders. V can take the stairs to the roof where he will find two guards protecting the Arasaka AV. After defeating the thugs, V finds Saburo?s katana inside. While the Satori deals 20 less base damage, it also unleashes 500 critical damage, making this sword a mega-destroyer for the rest of your game.

Machine Gun ? Resident Evil : Code Veronica

In Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Claire Redfield is able to retrieve two machine guns relatively early in the main campaign. With these rapid-fire weapons, it can target two targets simultaneously, allowing it to mow anyone who crosses its path. However, there is a catch. Steve Burnside, who hangs around with a depressed air, takes these guns from Claire shortly after. Since the machine gun can shred zombies in seconds, it would have been great to keep them. It turns out that it is possible if Claire goes back to the military prison and gives Rodrigo a hemostatic. He'll trade his lighter for Claire's match. It doesn?t seem important at the time, but the exchange has a big advantage later on. When the players take control of Claire's brother, Chris, he meets Rodrigo, who offers him his lighter. This allows the Special Agent to unlock a pair of machine guns in the catacombs. Even though there are still many undead to deal with, things should be easier now, because you are equipped with two brooms.

The Spear of Destiny – Fire Emblem : Three Houses

Unlike the other entries on this list, getting the Spear of Destiny in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is not a problem. The problem is to keep it until the end of the game. After defeating McLennan in Chapter 5, protagonist Byleth will be able to get the precious spear. However, after our hero returns to Lady Raya, she will confiscate it. That’s a pity, because the Spear of Destiny is an ideal tool because of its extended range, increased accuracy and immense power. If the bearer has certain coats of arms, the spear can trigger an additional attack or critical damage. Besides, she has a really cool look. Fortunately, Byleth is able to persuade Rhea to let her keep the spear. To do so, Sylvain must be on your team, and for him to automatically appear, you must be a member of the Blue Lions. However, even if you are not a member of this house, you can still convince Sylvain to join by playing as a female Byleth. Unfortunately, the Spear of Destiny cannot be kept permanently if none of these conditions are met.

Iris – Golden Sun: The Lost Age

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age, our heroes can find an Animus Sanctum Summon tablet. After acquiring this tablet, players can summon the game’s most powerful ally, Iris. If summoned in battle, Iris will flood the area with destructive light, which is very handy for taking on some of the toughest bosses. Unfortunately, the door to the inner sanctuary can only be opened after our heroes have collected 72 small creatures called jinns. The problem is that the game only contains 44 djinns. So what's going on with the other 28? That’s where things get complicated. The Lost Age allows to transfer data from the first Golden Sun using a password or a game link cable to enter the inner sanctuary, players must chase all the djinns in the first game, transfer the data to The Lost Age, and then find all the djinns in that game as well. If only one djinn in the first version is missed, Iris cannot be obtained. Unfortunately, many Golden Sun players didn’t know they had to meet these conditions to enter the inner sanctuary, and as a result, few Golden Sun fans had the satisfaction of summoning Iris in battle.

The Lightning of Grand Sax – Elden Ring

Players can find the bolts of great sax in Lane Dell after defeating Godfrey. Once the Lord of the Eldens is dead, players must take the elevator down, where they will see a gigantic spear coming out of the ground. This aberration is as big as a building, so it’s hard to miss it. However, the bolts of grand sax rest on this lance and are often ignored, as the weapon is not visible from a distance. Only by climbing on the spear and exploring the summit, the legendary artifact can be recovered. The bolts of grand sax are an amazing weapon, dealing 20 more damage to dragons and 10 more damage to old dragons. As a bonus, he can also launch an electric projectile at enemies from afar. However, as this is a game from From Software, fans knew that obtaining this divine antique could not be easy. The bolts of grand sax can only be obtained as long as Malikath, the Black Blade, is still alive. Once he is defeated, the lightning projectile disappears into the wild. Unfortunately, most Elden Ring fans learned this information at their own expense.

Excalibur 2 – Final Fantasy 9

On average, Final Fantasy 9 takes almost 40 hours to complete, but to get the game’s most powerful weapon, Excalibur 2, players must reach the space gate in the last dungeon in less than 12 hours. Achieving this feat is even more difficult than it seems, because you must first ignore all the secondary quests, which means giving up useful objects and weapons. In addition, some battles may drag on due to game mechanics, forcing players to restart at the nearest save point. Unfortunately, the game's endless conversations and FMV sequences cannot be skipped, and pausing the game does not stop the timer. To top it all off, the PAL version of Final Fantasy 9 runs slower than the Japanese and American versions, making the task even harder for European players. Fortunately, the quest is much easier in the remastered version of the game, as it includes a slow motion feature. However, getting such a powerful weapon is a challenge, as the requirements are so strict that most players won’t even try it, knowing that they’ll miss their chance forever if the game time exceeds 12 hours by one second.
