Darksiders III eGuide Weapons and Enhancements

Weapon Enhancements

Upgrading your weapons isn’t the only way to boost their effectiveness. Weapon enhancements can be socketed into each of Fury’s six weapons and provide unique benefits ranging from increased damage to bonus Health or even extended Havoc Form duration. Weapon enhancements can be found in the wild, acquired from Vulgrim, or even received as a gift. Best of all, they can be swapped from weapon to weapon as new ones are acquired.

Swap enhancements between weapons as you see fit.

Enhancements offer an active benefit that relies on using the weapon it’s attached to, as well as a passive benefit that comes from simply having it socketed. You don’t need to have the weapon’s Hollow active in order to receive the passive benefit.

Each enhancement is found in its Unfocused state and can be upgraded three times along an Angelic path or Demonic path. Then, finally, a Balanced version of the enhancement can be crafted, thereby maximizing the Angelic and Demonic benefits of the item. Angelic upgrades typically focus on improving Fury’s survivability, while Demonic upgrades increase her offensive capabilities.

To achieve a Balanced upgrade, you’ll need the 12 artifacts necessary for the other upgrade path.

Angelic and Demonic Artifact locations are marked on the accompanying maps and highlighted throughout the text. You’ll need dozens of them to fully upgrade the half dozen enhancements, so don’t pass one up. An Essence of a Chosen, necessary to fully upgrade an enhancement, can only be obtained by slaying a Chosen foe. There are five Chosen in the game, thus limiting your ability to fully upgrade all weapon enhancements.
