Weapon upgrades
Use the Blacksmith for equipment upgrades. In one official screenshot, the selected output is Dark Knight Greatsword +1; it consumes one Dark Knight Greatsword, gems, Lesser Void Essence, and Iron Ore. Every quantity below is Single source (official screenshot), checked 2026-10-28.
One selected upgrade: inputs and output
The header says Training Greatsword, identifying the open tree context. The selected preview on the right is Dark Knight Greatsword +1. Its requirements list Dark Knight Greatsword without +1. The existing Forge Lv.2 satisfies the displayed minimum Forge Lv.1; these are not two names for the selected node.
All quantities in this table: Single source, official Steam screenshot; checked 2026-10-28. Owned counts are a snapshot of that character, not costs to add to the requirement.
| Field | Required or selected value | Owned / context |
|---|---|---|
| Output preview | Dark Knight Greatsword +1 | Selected result |
| Weapon input | Dark Knight Greatsword x1 | 0/1 |
| Gems | 275 | 132/275 |
| Lesser Void Essence | 10 | 0/10 |
| Iron Ore | 10 | 0/10 |
| Forge requirement | Forge Lv.1 | Current Forge Lv.2 |
| Open tree context | Training Greatsword | Header, not the selected result |
Equipment upgrades and character points
The Steam achievement Holy Diver explicitly places weapon upgrading at the Blacksmith. The Demo Now Live announcement lists Blacksmith and Upgrade Knight as separate menus.
The September leveling note assigns skill points to the Knight Trainer. In the Steam Deck discussion, developer coty assigns stat points to the Upgrade Knight in the barracks (Single source: developer reply). The pre-launch note adds RESPEC to the knight upgrade menu, with increasing cost per use. That describes character points; it does not establish weapon-tree refunds or the relationship between the two NPC names.


What I checked
This guide separates the selected result, its required inputs, and the character progression menu. The official screenshot documents one upgrade, not the costs of the whole tree.
