If you’re looking for a great Strength weapon early on in Lords of the Fallen, you’ll want to go ahead and grab the Proselyte Sword. The Proselyte Swords requires 19 Strength to wield, and you can find it by defeating a Proselyte enemy. It’s a random drop so you might have to farm a few of these guys before finding it. But if you do, the Proselyte Sword starts with a C- in Strength scaling and can go all the way up to an A- with upgrades.

An added benefit to the Proselyte Sword comes in the form of Burn Damage. When you inflict damage on an enemy, they start to build up fire damage over time (DOT). Meaning, that you’ll be able to deal damage to foes without attacking once you’ve struck them a few times. Furthermore, the extra DOT damage really plays a major role when facing enemies/bosses with larger health pools. But if you’re progressing through the game and need something new to beef up your damage, we’ve got just the thing.

Once players reach the final leg of their journey in Lords of the Fallen, bosses, and enemies are going to be packing a larger punch. As such, you’ll want to go ahead and grab The Iron Wayfarer’s Hammer, as it is one of if not the best end-game strength weapons in Lords of the Fallen. Since The Iron Wayfarer’s Hammer is found by defeating The Iron Wayfarer, you’ll have been able to level up your Strength exponentially.

As such, the weapon requires 31 Strength to wield but makes up for this steep cost thanks to the massive damage it deals. What’s more, The Iron Wayfarer’s Hammer has some of the best Strength scaling in the game, starting at a C+ and going all the way up to S once upgraded. This alone makes it an amazing weapon choice for any player going all-in on a Strength build. This makes it so sad that players don’t obtain it until the very end of the game.
