Best Early Game Weapons To Get in Queen’s Domain

Queen’s Domain doesn’t give you many options at the start, and even the first few enemies can be difficult if you don’t have the right weapon. Weapons upgrade depending on how much you use them. Here are the best early game weapons in Queen’s Domain, where to find them, and which ones are worth upgrading.

Best Early Game Weapons in Queen’s Domain

Weapon	Location	Why It’s Useful
Holy Sword Endu	Endu Shrine, after defeating Shrine Guardian	Unlocks Wind Dash and evolves into stronger versions.
Azure Torch	Gargoyle statue outside the Tower of Knowledge	Fires magical projectiles, lights beacons, and deals Fire damage.
Throwing Daggers	Dagger Belt on the small islands near the starting beach	Renewable ranged attacks, always useful.
Cestus	Umbada’s Trading Outpost, 20 Ancient Coins	Very fast punches and an uppercut that gives you an extra jump.
Rusted Weapons and Wooden Club	Starting area, ruined tower, and underground Crypt	Weak initially, but very powerful evolutions.

These are our picks based on how useful they are during the first couple areas of the game. In particular, Holy Sword Endu, the Azure Torch, and the Cestus are weapons you should try to find as early as possible.

Holy Sword Endu

• Location: Endu Shrine, Isle of Neasied.
• Power: 10
• Damage type: Slash
• Best for: Exploration, mobility, and general combat.
• Evolution: Soul Bound Endu.

Holy Sword Endu is easily one of the most important weapons you can obtain early in Queen’s Domain, mostly because it unlocks Wind Dash. Wind Dash can be used even without Holy Sword Endu equipped and is a great mobility option and secondary attack.

To get Endu, you need to defeat the Shrine Guardian. The sword is waiting inside, beyond the boss encounter. You’ll find Wind Gems as you explore and get up to 5 dashes and a very powerful stormbringer attack.

At Level 10, Holy Sword Endu evolves into Soul Bound Endu, which deals more damage and gains access to a magic wind slash charge attack. You’ll eventually be able to upgrade it even further into True Holy Sword Akunra.

Azure Torch

• Location: Outside the Tower of Knowledge.
• Power: 14
• Attack speed: Slow
• Best for: Ranged magic, Fire damage, and environmental puzzles.

The Azure Torch is one of the strongest early weapons thanks to its magical attacks. Unlike most melee weapons, it can launch balls of blue fire, allowing you to damage enemies from a distance without having to move into melee range. The charge attack also deals more burn damage depending on duration charged.

The flames inflict lingering damage, making it easier to deal damage while moving around the arena. More importantly, magic burn damage while not super effective against any enemy, is also not resisted by most enemies in the early-game.

You’ll find the Azure Torch held by a gargoyle statue outside the Tower of Knowledge. After obtaining Holy Sword Endu, use Wind Dash to cross the eastern bridge toward the tower and take the torch from the statue.

The weapon is also needed to light the three ceremonial beacons that help unlock the Tower of Knowledge, so picking it up is part of your progression.

Although its attacks are slower than those of the starting sword or spear, the ranged magical damage makes it one of the most useful weapons to carry through the opening sections of Queen’s Domain.

Throwing Daggers

• Location: Small islands off the starting beach, Isle of Neasied. Additional charges from shop and chests.
• Power: 3
• Damage type: Physical
• Return rate: Fast
• Best for: Ranged damage, hitting switches, and dealing with flying enemies.

Throwing Daggers might not deal much damage, but they’re one of the most useful pieces of equipment you can collect in the opening area. While it’s obvious that you should keep them equipped and use them, we recommend them again because you should prioritize purchasing additional Throwing Dagger charges from Umbada’s Trading Outpost.

Unlike melee weapons, throwing weapons have rechargeable charges, which means you can continue attacking enemies from a distance without consuming ammunition. It’s a lot of free damage that you can deal from a safe distance.

To obtain them, head toward the beach near the starting encampment and look for the small islands just offshore. Cross to the island containing the Dagger Belt and collect it to unlock Throwing Daggers.

Later, after defeating The Necronomicon, you can upgrade the daggers with Acid, allowing them to destroy the fleshy obstacles blocking parts of the Tower of Knowledge.

Cestus

• Location: Umbada’s Trading Outpost.
• Price: 20 Ancient Coins
• Power: 8
• Damage type: Impact
• Attack speed: Very Fast
• Best for: Fast melee attacks and reaching higher platforms.

The Cestus is one of the most useful weapons you can purchase early in Queen’s Domain, and it’s not because of its damage. It allows you to attack with extremely fast punches and uppercuts, which make it a good alternative to slower Impact damage weapons especially against skeletons.

However, its biggest advantage is that secondary uppercut attack, which launches your character slightly upward. You can perform the uppercut while jumping to gain extra height, effectively giving yourself a double jump.

This is incredibly useful for exploration and can help you reach platforms that would otherwise require more precise movement or an extra Wind Dash charge. Combine the uppercut with Wind Dashes and you gain a ton of mobility early-on making it a must-buy weapon as soon as you can access it.

You’ll need to unlock Umbada’s Trading Outpost before purchasing it. After defeating Shrine Guardian and obtaining the duck figurine, interact with a Crystal Monument to access the merchant. Once you’ve collected 20 Ancient Coins, purchase the Cestus from Umbada.

Rusted Weapons and Wooden Club

Don’t throw away your starting weapons in Queen’s Domain. The Rusted Short Sword, Rusted Spear, Rusted Hammer, and Wooden Club can all evolve into much stronger weapons once they reach Level 10. Some of these evolutions are so good that they’re worth using well into the late game.

Here’s what each weapon evolves into and what you can expect from it.

Starting Weapon	Evolution at Level 10	Power	Damage Type	Attack Speed
Rusted Short Sword	Sipeha’s Twisted Heart	14	Physical	Average
Rusted Spear	Jigeki’s Serpent Thrust	11	Pierce	Fast
Wooden Club	Puwema’s Blessed Orb	18	Impact	Slow

Rusted Short Sword — Sipeha’s Twisted Heart

The Rusted Short Sword evolves into Sipeha’s Twisted Heart at level 10 and changes its damage type from Slash to Physical. This allows it to deal consistent damage against a wider range of enemies but it loses out on the Slash bonus damage.

Its secondary attack also changes into a charged attack that can apply a debuff, increasing the damage enemies take afterward. This makes it useful for tougher encounters rather than just clearing weaker enemies.

Rusted Spear — Jigeki’s Serpent Thrust

The Rusted Spear is one of the best starting weapons to upgrade because its evolved form, Jigeki’s Serpent Thrust, is really strong.

It has 11 Pierce Power and Fast attack speed, making it stronger than lategame spears like the Plasma Spear. Jigeki’s Serpent Thrust also has a Venom effect, allowing you to poison enemies while attacking.

You can find the Rusted Spear inside a chest in the underground dungeon in the starting island which can be accessed via throwing dagger at the button in the wall.

Wooden Club — Puwema’s Blessed Orb

Of the starting weapons, Puwema’s Blessed Orb is one of the most useful evolutions. This is because it has a staggering 18 Power, which contends with many lategame weapons.

However, the biggest advantage is its secondary ability. After building enough charge through regular attacks, Puwema’s Blessed Orb can restore approximately 150 HP over time. It’s useful during boss fights, exploration, and encounters where you’re dealing with Poison or other forms of continuous damage.

This makes Puwema’s Blessed Orb one of the best utility weapons to get early on.
