Skinstealer Cleaver

The Skinstealer Cleaver, other than looking very bizarre, has great scaling for both the Strength and Inferno stats. When fully upgraded, the scaling increases to an A- for both stats, allowing you to get some great damage. Being a smaller weapon, it is perfect for up close combat.

How to get: You get the Skinstealer Cleaver as a drop from the Skinstealer boss in the Cistern.

Demarose’s Cleaver

Moving up in class from a standard axe to a grand axe, Demarose’s Cleaver is a large weapon that hits hard and is meant for those doing an Agility and Inferno build. You do, however, need at least 12 Strength to hold this weapon. After that, all of its scaling mostly comes from Inferno and Agility.

How to get: Obtained by killing Demarose the Marked. She is initially found at Pilgrim’s Perch. She also gives you the weapon if you complete her quest line.

Sword of the Flayed

Now we move on to another massive weapon, the Sword of the Flayed. This beefy weapon requires the use of both Strength and Inferno to wield it and deals both physical and fire damage. This weapon has slightly better scaling than that of the Skinstealer Cleaver with an A in both scaling stats. As long as you aren’t against holding a massive weapon, it is a solid choice.

How to get: Obtained by going to the dining room in Bramis Castle. The weapon is located behind the King’s Stigma at the head of the table.

Blacksmith’s Pride

What makes the Blacksmith’s Pride flail good is that it deals three types of damage. This weapon scales with both Agility and Inferno and even has an A+ in both stats by the time it is fully upgraded. It deals both physical and wither damage. On top of that, it also builds up frostbite.

How to get: Located at Upper Calrath B inside an Umbral Belly.

Judge Cleric’s Corrupted Sword

Judge Cleric’s Corrupted Sword is an excellent longsword that can hit multiple foes with its wide swings. It is one of the few weapons that requires you to have levels in all four damage stats. While it scales off of all four stats, it mainly uses Radiance and Inferno though almost any build can benefit from this weapon.

How to get: Trade the Remembrance of Judge Cleric the Radiant Sentinel to Molhu at Skyrest Bridge. That’s right, it is a boss weapon.

Conflagrant Seer Staff

The Conflagrant Seer Staff is a polearm that stands out amongst other weapons thanks to its pure Inferno scaling that ends at an S-tier. This weapon deals wither, fire, and physical damage. Not only that, it is also great for keeping enemies at bay thanks to its large size.

How to get: Potential drop from the Conflagrant Seer enemy.

Left-Hand Lightreaper Dagger & Right-Hand Lightreaper Dagger

So this is two weapons in one but they are very similar. Both daggers are very fast and deal both physical and fire damage. Both weapons have good scaling with both Agility and Inferno and are great when paired together or with another weapon. Of course, you won’t get these for a while since you need to defeat a pretty high-profile enemy to get them.

How to get: Trade the Remembrance of the Lightreaper to Molhu in Skyrest Bridge.

That covers the best inferno weapons in Lords of the Fallen. Remember to upgrade these blades if you want to get the most out of them. If you’re not sure how, and still need to find blacksmith Gerlinde, we’ve got you covered.
