Nightfall Weapons - Project Slayers 2 Wiki
All Nightfall schematics, their locations, and what each weapon is best at.
Overview
Nightfall weapons are the high-tier Nichirin line sitting above the ordinary boss katanas. You do not simply farm them: each one needs a schematic and a finished V2 forging route before the craft becomes possible. Treat the set as a long-term project rather than a quick upgrade.
The sickles are the headline piece and the hardest weapon in the game to obtain, which is why early owners posted guides the moment they finished. Every other entry in the family follows the same loop: find the schematic, gather dungeon resources, then forge. Compare them against the standard drops on our weapons list first.
V2 and Nightfall Craft Walkthrough
This walkthrough shows the V2 and Nightfall craft from the inside, including the dungeon run that funds it. Pay attention to where each schematic actually drops, because the route matters more than raw damage. Then queue the dungeon with a group.
Who the Nightfall Line Is For
Not every breathing style has a Nightfall answer. Community loadout writing lists Nightfall options for Flame, Wind, Thunder and Water builds, and says to pair one only where your style allows. If your style is missing from that list, a reforged boss katana remains your best breathing style fit.
The set is deliberately gated behind endgame systems, so do not chase it at level 40 and stall your main progression. Finish the story content, unlock the forge, and only then start banking Dungeon Points for schematics. Our end game guide maps what to finish first.
Because forging consumes the weapon you feed it, the order you craft in decides how many resources you burn. Build one Nightfall piece that suits your main style before starting a second. Gear in the other slots can carry you while you save. See equipment upgrades for cheaper wins.
Crafting Route Step by Step
Unlocking the ability to craft is a chain, not a single purchase. You need the forge open, a schematic in hand, the prerequisite blade, and enough dungeon currency to pay for the work. Skipping any link leaves you standing at the anvil with nothing to show for your dungeon runs.
The forge unlock itself is tied to level 65 and a quest from Togane near Mist Village, so most players meet it naturally while questing. If you are behind, push the main route rather than farming low-level mobs. Our leveling guide covers the fastest bracket routes.
Reach level 65
Level to 65 and speak with Blacksmith Togane near Mist Village to start the Forge quest.
Unlock the forge
Complete the Forge quest so Togane's Nichirin Forge becomes available for V2 and Nightfall craftsmanship.
Farm Ouwigahara Dungeon
Run the Ouwigahara Dungeon for points and endgame resources such as Mythic Refinement Ore and Metal Scrap.
Find the schematic
Obtain the schematic for the Nightfall piece you want, then bring it with the prerequisite weapon and materials.
Nightfall Crafting Requirements
Materials are the part new players underestimate. The craft asks for a prerequisite weapon, a schematic, and a spread of resources gathered in dungeons rather than bought from a vendor. Banking them early turns a long grind into a short mastery detour.
Compare the craft cost against what a plain boss katana gives you. For many builds the difference in clear speed is small until the rest of your gear catches up, so a fully upgraded standard blade is not wasted effort. The weapon list breaks down which drops are easiest.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Forge unlock | Level 65 plus Togane's Forge quest near Mist Village |
| Dungeon | Ouwigahara Dungeon for points and endgame resources |
| Schematic | Unique blueprint required per Nightfall weapon |
| Prerequisite weapon | The craft consumes an existing katana |
| Mythic Refinement Ore | Core upgrade material for high-tier forging |
| Metal Scrap | Common crafting material gathered in dungeons |
| Silk Thread | Crafting material used in weapon recipes |
| Currency | Wen, the game's currency |
What Is in the Nightfall Family
Each Nightfall piece fills a different slot in a finished build, and the best pick depends on how you play rather than raw stats alone. Read the cards below as a shopping list, then check what your current gear already covers. No single piece fixes every weakness in your equipment setup.
Nightfall sickles
The headline weapon of the set and the hardest item in the game to obtain.
Prerequisite katana
Each craft consumes an existing blade, so your old weapon becomes part of the recipe.
Forged upgrades
V2 craftsmanship that carries a base blade into the Nightfall tier.
Schematic drops
Blueprints that gate each craft and decide which piece you can build next.
Grinding the Set Efficiently
Plan a Nightfall grind like a short checklist rather than a single marathon evening. Points, materials and schematics come from the same dungeon loop, so stacking goals in one session saves travel time and server hops. Bring a group from the dungeon guide.
When the craft finally lands, recheck your whole build instead of only the new weapon. Mastery, clan buffs and accessories all scale the same damage numbers, so a fresh blade can expose the next weakest slot in your progression plan.
- Bank Dungeon Points before you find a schematic, not after.
- Keep one prerequisite katana spare for the recipe you want.
- Run the dungeon with a group so clears stay fast and cheap.
- Check boss drops first if your style has no Nightfall option.
- Recheck accessories once the new weapon is equipped.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Nightfall weapons?
Nightfall weapons are the high-tier Nichirin line in Project Slayers 2. Each one requires a schematic and forging rather than a simple boss drop, so the set is treated as an endgame goal.
How do you get Nightfall schematics?
Schematics come from the endgame dungeon loop rather than a vendor. Run the Ouwigahara Dungeon, bank the points and resources, then bring the schematic to Togane's forge.
What is the hardest weapon to get?
The Nightfall sickles have the reputation of being the hardest weapon in the game to obtain. Early owners filmed guides immediately after finishing the craft because so few players had one.
Do you need the forge unlocked first?
Yes. The forge unlock sits at level 65 and starts with Togane near Mist Village. Without that quest finished you cannot craft V2 or Nightfall weapons at all.
Which breathing styles get Nightfall weapons?
Community loadout writing lists Nightfall options for Flame, Wind, Thunder and Water builds. If your style is not covered, a reforged boss katana is still a solid choice.
What materials does the craft use?
The recipe asks for Mythic Refinement Ore, Metal Scrap and Silk Thread, along with the prerequisite weapon, a schematic and enough Wen to pay the smith. Gather everything before you travel.
Are Nightfall weapons worth the grind?
For a main style, yes: the tier sits above regular boss drops and carries into endgame content. For an off-style you rarely play, a fully upgraded standard katana is far cheaper.
