Nightfall Weapons
Seven schematic routes plus when Firstlight Tanto or War Fans beat a Nightfall craft. Forge at Togane.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated
Nightfall weapons do not sit in shops. You hunt seven schematics on the map, then forge each one at Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village.
All seven Nightfall schematics
| Weapon | Area | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Nightfall Katana | Mistfall Harbor docks | Dive at the docks waterfall, swim into the underwater opening, climb the right-corner platform in the cave |
| Nightfall Axe & Mace | Bamboo Grove mountain building | Enter the mountaintop building and climb the small platforms to the top — Double Jump and Wall Climb alone often fall short; a mobility skill helps |
| Nightfall Scythe | Iceveil Valley underwater | Dive to the statue, go behind it into a deeper air pocket, then follow the tunnel turns listed below |
| Nightfall Gauntlets | Hidden Mist Village quest | Start Stonemason Tobei's quest, activate three statues (100 hits each), return to Tobei |
| Nightfall Claws | Butterfly Estate | From the shrine, bridge into the water, go right, jump the wall to a waterfall cave opening, follow the path |
| Nightfall Sickles | Map-wide levers → Forgotten Ruins | Pull all 10 hidden levers, then enter the secret door in Forgotten Ruins |
| Nightfall Serpent Katana | Mistfall Harbor keys → Dreamfall Hollow | Farm Serpent Keys underwater at Mistfall Harbor docks, open the chest behind the green wall in Dreamfall Hollow |
Nightfall Katana
Reach the Mistfall Harbor docks waterfall
Mark the docks waterfall on the map, then jump into the water in front of it.
Swim into the underwater opening
Dive and swim through the opening behind the waterfall into the cave.
Climb the right-corner platform
Inside the cave, head to the right corner, climb the platform, and take the Nightfall Katana Schematic.
Nightfall Axe & Mace
The schematic is in a building on top of a mountain in Bamboo Grove. Inside, climb the small platforms to the roof. Double Jump and Wall Climb alone often miss the ledges; Insect Breathing C (or another mobility skill) makes the jumps reliable.
Nightfall Scythe tunnel route
- Dive at the marked Iceveil Valley water spot and find the statue.
- Swim behind the statue and drop into the deeper hidden pocket. You can breathe there and stop taking constant water damage even without a lantern.
- From the drop: go straight, take the first left.
- Keep going, take the first left again.
- Take the first right.
- Go straight, then take the first left.
- At the end of that path, take a right and go straight to the schematic.
Nightfall Gauntlets (Tobei)
Talk to Stonemason Tobei in Hidden Mist Village. He sits inside a house across from the fishing-supplies building. After you talk, activate all three statues, then return for the schematic.
| Statue | Where | How |
|---|---|---|
| Windy Peak | Cave near Windy Peak Shrine; statue on the right as you enter | Hit 100 times with a Demon Art or Breathing Style skill |
| Dungeons bridge | Statue holding two swords on the right side of the bridge | Hit 100 times with any sword |
| Hidden Mist Village peak | Climb the mountain above the village using tree branches to the top | Hit 100 times after you reach the summit statue |
Nightfall Claws
Start at Butterfly Estate Shrine
Teleport to the shrine, walk toward the bridge, and jump into the water.
Find the waterfall cave
Keep going right, jump over the wall to a waterfall, then enter the small opening into the hidden cave.
Claim the schematic
Follow the cave path to the Nightfall Claws Schematic.
Nightfall Sickles
Pull all 10 levers
Ten levers hide across the map. Pull every one on the same server so the Forgotten Ruins secret door opens.
Enter Forgotten Ruins
Find the secret door that unlocked after the levers, then take the Nightfall Sickles Schematic inside.
Example craft cost
| Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Demonic Sickles | 1 |
| Nightfall Sickles Schematic | 1 |
| Silk | 1,000 |
| Metal Scraps | 1,000 |
| Yen / Wen | 1,000,000 |
Nightfall Serpent Katana
Farm Serpent Keys at Mistfall Harbor
Dive at the Mistfall Harbor docks and grab as many Serpent Keys as you can in one trip.
Enter the Dreamfall Hollow cave
Travel to Dreamfall Hollow, follow the path ahead, then move to the right corner of the cave.
Open the chest behind the green wall
Go behind the green wall, climb the platform on your right, and open the chest with the correct Serpent Key.
Craft at Blacksmith Togane
Start The Forge at level 65
Talk to Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village and choose The Forge. Follow the objective to the Ouwigahara portal beyond Mistfall Harbor — reaching 65 alone does not unlock the new crafts.
Read the Nichirin recipe before farming
Later crafts can need Metal Scrap, Silk Thread, Mythic Refinement Ore, a schematic, and a prerequisite weapon. Keep those mats and your current weapon until you know what the recipe consumes.
Craft with schematic and materials
With the matching schematic in Schematics inventory, open Togane's menu and forge. Firstlight and Nightfall are longer-term targets — one upgrade goal per farm session.
Which Nightfall schematic to chase
- Flame / Thunder schematics: Nightfall Katana (+5.75 Additional Damage, 1.14× ADF).
- Stone schematic: Nightfall Axe & Mace.
- Serpent schematic: Nightfall Katana or Nightfall Serpent Katana.
- Insect / Sound: stay on Firstlight style-locked lines — no Nightfall Katana swap.
- Blood Manipulation: Nightfall Sickles. Fast pressure: Nightfall Claws. AoE specialist: Nightfall Scythe (slower in PvP).
- V2 / upgraded crafts need the matching base weapon in inventory before Togane accepts the recipe.
All-round Firstlight picks and full loadouts are on Breathing and Demon. Clan pairings are on Clans.
