Elex: Where to find better weapons at the start?

At the beginning of Elex, Jax uses a weak iron rod that is only useful against the weakest enemies. You can also find a rusty axe after leaving the ruins but this weapon is also very weak. Below, you can find tips that can teach you where and how you can find better weapons that are useful in the initial parts of the game.

Warning - Some of these weapons require you to develop certain attributes of your character. You can decide whether you want to find that particular weapon or you want to get another one.

• Traders from Goliet
• Weapons with low requirements
• Weapons with a little bit higher attribute requirement

Traders from Goliet

Hatchet is a good compromise - its requirements aren't high and it deals more damage than the starting weapons

Visiting one of the traders in Goliet (the Berserkers' headquarters) is the most obvious method of acquiring better weapons in the initial parts of the game. Armor Smith offers:

1. Horned Sword for 855 Elexit (you need 28 Strength and Dexterity)
2. Hatchet for 600 Elexit (you need 33 Strength and 23 Constitution)
3. Forge Wrench for 350 Elexit (very low requirements - 14 Strength and 11 Constitution)
4. Two-handed Iron Hammer for 930 Elexit (you need 38 Strength and 19 Constitution)
5. War Shield for 500 Elexit (you need 20 Strength and 30 Constitution)

Weapons Trader offers:

1. Hatchet for 600 Elexit (you need 33 Strength and 23 Constitution)
2. One-handed Broadsword for 450 Elexit (low requirements - 17 Strength and Constitution)
3. Forge Wrench for 350 Elexit (very low requirements - 14 Strength and 11 Constitution)
4. War Shield for 500 Elexit (you need 20 Strength and 30 Constitution)

Weapons with low requirements

Cultivator's Bow can be found in the beginning of the game during your exploration of the starting ruins. You can get the bow after entering one of the first buildings (the picture above). It doesn't deal a lot of damage but you can use it to distract enemies (its regular price is 625 Elexit).

Horned Sword hangs on one of the walls in Angrim's house which is located in Goliet (the picture). Taking it is treated as theft so the only safe way to get it is to sneak into the house during a night (activate stealth mode). It is a good sword that can be used after gaining a few levels. Its requirements are rather low - 28 Strength and Dexterity points.

Weapons with a little bit higher attribute requirement

Similarly to Horned Sword, described above, Snake Bite sword can also be stolen from one of the houses in Goliet (the weapon is presented in the picture). Here, you also need to sneak into the house during a night. This weapon requires 60 Dexterity (and 30 Strength) and it offers 41 damage but it also poisons a target.

War Bow can be found near Small Camp west from Goliet. You must go to a field with a giant troll. Ignore the monster and quickly find the bow presented in the picture. After that you must leave the field as fast as possible so you won't be attacked by the troll (he can throw rocks). The bow requires 53 Dexterity and 34 Strength while it deals 60 damage.

The other place in which you can find this weapon is Origin, the village that you visit during one of the main quests. The bow is in one of chests and is guarded by a level 1 lock (you must use a lock pick).

Mace I can be found in the gas station presented in the picture. This place is located east from Domed City. You can reach that place by starting your journey near the city and following the asphalt road to the east. It is a great weapon for those that like to use melee attacks. The base form requires 52 Strength and 26 Constitution. The weapon deals 44 damage. You can also upgrade it twice later which means that this weapon won't lose its usefulness.

Plasma Rifle PT3 is found inside of the Converter in South Abessa which is a hideout of the Albs-Separatists (the picture above). The area around the converter is roamed by powerful monsters but the inside of it has no enemies. The rifle is located on one of the higher levels. It requires 39 Dexterity and 27 Intelligence while it deals 40 damage.

Chainsaber is inside of one of the small domes, presented in the picture, that are south from The Fort (the Outlaws' headquarters) in Tavar. There, you can find Rider who is visited, e.g. during Medicine for the Hunters side quest. This weapon belongs to him which means that you must steal it from a table when Rider is sleeping or when he is facing the other direction (or if you didn't rescue him and he was killed by jackals). Chainsaber requires 31 Strength and Dexterity and it deals 32 damage.
