Upgrading the Rusty Weapons
As you find the Rusty Weapons, you can get this upgraded to their Ultimate variation. This is done by visiting the Flying Smithy and the Blacksmith, Vaehl. However, you need to also find the Souls of Farnese. There are a total of 12 to find, just like the Rusty Weapons. Each Soul is used to infuse with the Weapon, transforming it into the Ultimate Weapon. By transforming every Rusty Weapon, the player will unlock the ‘Blade Runner’ Achievement in Chained Echoes.
