In this Darksiders III Crafting Ingredients Guide, we will show you how you can collect ingredients to upgrade you weapons and boost weapon stats. There are certain types of ingredients with you can upgrade your inventory with the help of Ulthane.
The only way to boost your weapon stat, you need Ulthane, who is capable of upgrading Fury’s weaponry and enhancements, but he can’t do it without a number of rare materials. This is where you need to scavenge the landscape for Adamantine, artifacts, and a rare ichor that only Ulthane can make use of. Though most of these materials can be purchased from Vulgrim, his prices are very high, not to mention Souls are better spent acquiring Attribute Points or consumable.
Essence & Artifacts
Artifacts are needed to upgrade enhancements, but the kind needed depends on the desired upgrade. It’s simply not possible to upgrade every enhancement along a Demonic or Angelic path simultaneously. You must pick and choose which ones to spread your artifacts across and trust that, later in the game, you’ll be able to acquire the necessary materials to create balanced enhancements.
Essence of a Chosen & Locations
This essence is extracted from the decaying husk of a Chosen. It is highly magical as this ichor possesses the potential to unlock incredible power in a weapon enhancement
