Fists

Discover the best fist weapons in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow! Learn about their stats, locations, and synthesis recipes to maximize your ATK power.

Hey there! So, you're looking into the Fists weapons in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow? They're not exactly the flashiest weapons, and they don't have the longest reach, but don't underestimate them! Selling some of the higher-end ones, like Cestuses, can actually be a pretty sweet way to make some extra Gold. Let's break 'em down.

• Bare knuckles (Unarmed) — This is what you've got by default, or if you de-equip everything. It gives +0 ATK and does Bash damage. It doesn't have any special effects, and you can't buy it or find it normally, but you can get it through a glitch with the Succubus.
• Brass Knuckles — You can grab these from Hammer's shop for 200 Gold. They give you +3 ATK and have a special 'Uppercut' move. They're described as metal knuckles for your fists, and yeah, the uppercut is pretty neat.
• Cestus — Found in the Demon Guest House, this one costs 6000 Gold. It bumps your ATK up by +10 and also has the 'Uppercut' special. The description calls them hard knuckle guards worn by ancient boxers, and I still think the uppercut is the best part. You can also synthesize these using Brass Knuckles and a Zombie.
• Whip Knuckle — This one's only available through synthesis, requiring a Cestus and a Slaughterer. It costs 17000 Gold and gives +17 ATK, still with the 'Uppercut' special. The description says it lets you throw whip-like punches, but honestly, the 'whip-like' part is a bit questionable, kind of like the Whip Sword.
• Mach Punch — Synthesized from a Whip Knuckle and a Hell Boar, this costs 21000 Gold and offers a +24 ATK bonus. It keeps the 'Uppercut' special. The description claims it lets you punch at the speed of sound, and you can kinda tell because of the soundwaves that come off Soma's fist when you use it.
• Kaiser Knuckle — This is the top-tier fist weapon, synthesized from a Mach Punch and a Werewolf. It's priced at 33000 Gold. Interestingly, it only gives +10 ATK, which is less than the Mach Punch, and it still has the 'Uppercut' special, somehow. The description says it imbues knuckles with divine rage, but I'm not sure about the holy attribute part. The cool thing about this one, though, is that it can hit multiple times, which makes up for its lower ATK compared to the previous weapon in the line. It's particularly useful against enemies like Iron Golems.
