How to upgrade a weapon in Lies of P

Unlocking the ability to upgrade any of your swords, sabers, or axes requires you to watch the opening title of the game and defeat the Parade Master. After that, you will be able to craft or buy armament and improve it using Ergo and Moonstones.

Common armament is usually found in chests and from defeating enemies. Each of them has two parts: the handle and the blade. By swapping the parts of one sword for another, for example, you can create a new item with different properties. To improve your weapons, you will need the required Ergo and the corresponding stones.

Ergo is gained by killing enemies and as a reward for various missions. Besides, there are ways to farm it in large quantities quickly. The cost of weapons depends on the upgrade they require. For example, it might cost 200 Ergo the first time, 230 the second time, and 260 the third time.

The stones needed to complete an upgrade are more difficult to find. They are scattered all over the map in random places, so you have to pay attention to every scenario. There are several classes: Hidden Moonstones, Crescent Moonstones, and Dark Moonstones.

With all the stones, parts, and Ergo ready, you will go through the upgrade process.
