How To Unlock New Weapons

Locked Weapons

Firstly, 3 more weapons can be collected other than the 5 items of weaponry which the game provides at the start. You can notice this when you go to learn about crafting weapons after playing for some time. There you will see that apart from all the other weapons, there are 3 more locked weapons. To craft these weapons, you will have to unlock them. Let’s discuss them below!

Here is the list of locked new weapons:

  • Intoxicating Birch Cannon:

    The Birch Cannon is just like a regular weapon, which you can aim and shoot during combat. It’s also not that hard to learn in the game. Moreover, it can launch an explosion and takes some time to reload as you can tell from the name of the gun.

  • Claw Blade:

    The most useful and portable melee weapon in the game. You can think of it as two blades joined together with a rope. It is a quick-attacking airborne weapon that lets you grip opponents with a rope. Moreover, it is also quite easy to learn. But it takes a good strategy to use it with efficiency.

  • Karakuri Staff:

    This weapon requires you to learn it thoroughly. This weapon can transform throughout a fight, including a polearm, a baton, a gigantic sword, and more for a devastating finishing blow. Additionally, every transformation has a different brief combination chain that must be learned. All this makes it quite an advanced weapon in the game.

Ultimately, these are the three additional items in Wild Hearts that you can acquire which are mentioned above. 

Steps to Unlock New Weapons

Finally, you need to do some things to craft and acquire all of these weapon items in Wild Hearts. To acquire these weapons you must finish the first chapter of Wild Hearts, which consists of various tasks, to acquire these weapons.

Below are steps on what exactly you need to do in those tasks in detail:

  • Hunting Kingtusk: There are a few guided hunts that you have to do in the first chapter. A few hunters are waiting for you at Minato. That is where you need to go for hunting Kingtusk.
  • Defeating the Spineglider: For this, you need to trigger the dragon pit on Natsukodachi Island. Natsukodachi is the second unlocked region in the game. You will fight Spineglider here.
  • More Enemies and Quests: You need to eliminate a couple more enemies like the Gritdog and Lavaback to continue further. Both of them are included in the main quests, so don’t worry.
  • Kemono the Earthbreaker: You will need to find your way back to the first region to combat Kemono the Earthbreaker.
  • Unlocking and crafting the new weapons: When you’ve fought it, talk to TogaHime. He is Minato’s steward. You need to do that before going to the forge. You will then proceed to go to the forge to ask Natsume to craft the remaining three weapons for you.
