In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, acquiring the legendary weapons Whispers of the Endless Paths and Blade of the Endless Paths involves a series of steps to find and reforge fragments into powerful equipment suited for your playstyle. The following guide details how to obtain these weapons and their key attributes.

Steps to Obtain and Reforge Legendary Weapons

1. Find the Fragments:
– The fragments for both Whispers of Yenwood and Blade of the Endless Paths can usually be found in the chest located in your ship’s captain’s cabin. The presence of these fragments in your game may vary based on decisions made in the first Pillars of Eternity game or by selecting particular starting stories, such as importing a save that contains these items. For players meeting the necessary conditions, both fragments may appear.

2. Travel to Neketaka:
– Once you have collected the fragments, navigate to Marihi’s Metalworks, which is found in Periki’s Overlook on Neketaka Island (map location M15). Marihi is the blacksmith able to reforge the fragments.

3. Reforge or Combine the Weapons:
– At Marihi’s forge, you have three options for utilizing the fragments:
– Separate Swords: Reforge Whispers of Yenwood and Blade of the Endless Paths as two individual swords for 1500 gold each. This option is advantageous for players who prefer utilizing sneak attacks and high penetration weapons.
– Combined Greatsword: Alternatively, you can combine both fragments into a single Whispers of the Endless Paths two-handed greatsword for 3000 gold. This greatsword offers increased reach and a cone AoE attack, making it well-suited for frontline melee fighters, although it deals slightly less damage compared to other swords of a similar tier.

4. Weapon Properties:
– These legendary weapons come with formidable enchantments, providing:
– +60% Damage
– +15 Accuracy
– +4 Penetration
– Notably, Whispers of Yenwood has specific bonuses against spirits and unique effects, such as converting misses into grazes and inflicting debuffs on enemies. This makes it particularly potent in combat.
