All Weapons Achievement

To unlock the "All Weapons" achievement in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139..., you must acquire every single weapon available in the game. This includes all one-handed swords, two-handed swords, and spears. Many weapons are found naturally through story progression and exploration, but some require dedicated effort to obtain. For instance, the "Virtuous Contract" and "Virtuous Dity" are given to you early on, while others like the "Lily-White" spear are rewards for completing specific side quests or can be purchased from shops. The "Blade of Tribes" can be found in a chest in the Shadow Lord's Castle, and the "Ancient Overlord" is a reward for completing the "The Lost Shrine" questline. Some of the more elusive weapons, such as the "Phoenix Sword," are obtained through the New Game Plus modes, specifically during your second playthrough as the younger protagonist. It is crucial to keep track of which weapons you have acquired, as there is no in-game tracker for this specific achievement. Consulting a detailed weapon list and marking off each acquisition as you go is highly recommended. Remember that some weapons are tied to specific endings, so you may need to achieve multiple endings to see all the weapons.

One-Handed Swords: These are your most common weapon type, offering a balance of speed and power.
Two-Handed Swords: Slower but deliver devastating blows, ideal for staggering larger enemies.
Spears: Offer excellent reach and can be used for quick, piercing attacks.

Pay close attention to the shops in towns like Facade and the various vendors you encounter. Some of the later-game weapons, such as the "Iron Will" spear, can be quite expensive and require a sificant amount of gold. Farming gold by completing repeatable side quests or selling unwanted items is a viable strategy. Don't overlook the chests scattered throughout the world; many contain powerful weapons that can sificantly aid your journey. The "Dreamer's Allure" sword, for example, is hidden within a challenging optional area.
