In-Depth Weapons Guide: Shangala

Fields Forest Mounds Mountains Dungeons Docks Hie Brasil Shangala Azteca Castle Guards Dragon Guard Wheel Silver Weapons | Crystal Weapons | Antiques Best Weapons | Enchanting Weapons | Identifying Weapons | Preventing Rust | Rare Attributes Shangala is the second of the three areas in the game that a rutter is required to gain access to. You probably wouldn't have thought about questing here if you didn't fare well against the monsters in Hie Brasil, but having done well in past areas of the game doesn't necessarily mean that you're ready to face the monsters here. The monsters of Shangala will be more than eager to present an entirely new challenge to you, and you'll find that powerful Ieatsu attacks will often be made against you. Worse yet, many of the monsters in Shangala will attempt to run away from you as soon as you have the upper hand in battle. Nonetheless, if your character is strong enough to survive in this region, be prepared to reap the benefits of stocking up on the many powerful weapons that are dropped by the monsters. The Masamune/Koutetsu has always been a popular weapon combination among many successful players in the game and the Shuriken can be a good substitute for an offensive left-handed weapon if you weren't lucky enough to find a Crystal Gauntlet in Hie Brasil. Don't even think about coming to this area if you don't have at least a few Bottled Faeries in your backpack.

Like many other body armaments, the Koutetsu subtracts skill, but it's also the only body armour in the game that provides base attack points. Be sure to replace your Snake Scale Suit with one of these. Weapon Position Level + F.

My weapons guide only includes weapons that have been verified to exist by myself or other players who have gotten a hold of them through a trade. Asaura Although the Asaura provides a satisfactory amount of defense, it probably isn't good enough to replace the Sea Slippers/Swift Boots that your character's wearing right now. Keep it if it provides at least 40 defense; otherwise, sell it for a few hundred marks. Weapon Position Level + F.

Chances are, you've found Rat Tail Whips in the Dungeons that provide even more attack than this weapon. Either sell it for marks or save them if you're planning to make Titan Blades at the Dragon Guard. Weapon Position Level + F.

In addition, it's found late in the game and is hardly going to be effective against the monsters that you're facing in Shangala. Just sell your Foul Axes for a few thousand marks.

My weapons guide only includes weapons that have been verified to exist by myself or other players who have gotten a hold of them through a trade. Spirit Katana A Spirit Katana provides just about as many attack points as a Gladius, but it provides a lot more skill and comes with the Panic attribute. It's only fitting that a Spirit Katana should have a lot of base skill since you're going to need a lot of it to prevent your opponents from running away from you. If you're going to use a Spirit Katana, make sure that you have a pair of Silver Sea Slippers/Crystal Swift Boots equipped because you'll need all the skill that you can get! Still, it may be a better idea to wait until your character is strong enough to quest in Azteca and pick up an Amini Club. Unlike Spirit Katanas, Amini Clubs provide more attack, more skill, and doesn't come with the Panic attribute. Weapon Position Level + F.

On average, it provides more attack than a Gladius and a Spirit Katana. Be sure to replace your Gladius with one of these. Weapon Position Level + F.

Since it provides a satisfactory amount of attack and a lot of skill, you may want to use a Shuriken if you have a Spirit Katana or a Silver Masamune equipped. Weapon Position Level + F.

It may have an inherent attribute in Blast, but it won't work at all unless your character deals less than 120 damage. But at this stage of the game, your character should be able to inflict a lot more than 120 points of damage. Sell it for a very nice amount of marks. Weapon Position Level + F.
