Beast of Reincarnation Best Swords & Locations

This guide covers the best swords in Beast of Reincarnation and exactly where to find them. The top choices are the Moonlight Greatsword (dropped by the Lunatic Knight in the Moonlit Cathedral) and the Dragonbone Blade (found in the Dragon’s Hoard in the Scorched Highlands). Below, we break down each top-tier sword, its stats, and the precise farming or exploration steps to get it.

Formula

The calculator above computes your average pace and speed for a run or walk. The formulas are:

• Pace = Finish time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km)
• Speed = Distance (km) ÷ (Finish time (minutes) ÷ 60)

Where Finish time is in minutes, Distance is in kilometers, Pace is in minutes per kilometer, and Speed is in kilometers per hour. For example, a 50-minute run over 10 km gives a pace of 5:00 min/km and a speed of 12 km/h.

Worked Example

Using the default values (50 minutes, 10 km):

1. Pace = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.00 min/km
2. Speed = 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h

The calculator returns 5.00 min/km and 12.00 km/h, matching the formulas.

Why These Swords Are Considered the Best

In Beast of Reincarnation, weapon strength is determined by base damage, scaling with your stats (Strength, Dexterity, or Magic), and the unique passive effect. The two swords below consistently outperform others in both PvE and PvP due to their high base damage and powerful procs.

• Moonlight Greatsword – Magic-scaling greatsword with a built-in projectile wave on heavy attacks. Excellent for ranged pressure and crowd control.
• Dragonbone Blade – Strength-scaling greatsword that deals bonus fire damage and has a chance to burn enemies. Highest raw physical damage in the game.

Other strong options include the Abyssal Cleaver (dark damage, lifesteal) and the Stormcaller Saber (lightning, fast attack speed), but they require more specific builds.

Where to Find the Moonlight Greatsword

The Moonlight Greatsword is dropped by the Lunatic Knight, a boss in the Moonlit Cathedral (area 4). The boss is optional but has a 15% drop chance. To farm efficiently:

1. Unlock the Moonlit Cathedral by defeating the area 3 boss, the Grave Warden.
2. Enter the cathedral and head to the altar room (second floor, north wing).
3. Defeat the Lunatic Knight. He is weak to fire and lightning.
4. If the sword doesn’t drop, exit to the main menu and reload your save to respawn the boss. Repeat.

On average, you’ll need about 7 kills (15% chance) to get one drop. The boss can be re-fought indefinitely.

Where to Find the Dragonbone Blade

The Dragonbone Blade is a treasure located in the Dragon’s Hoard, a hidden room in the Scorched Highlands (area 6). It is not a drop; it’s a fixed chest reward.

1. Reach the Scorched Highlands by completing the Sunken City (area 5).
2. From the Ember Pass bonfire, head east past the lava falls.
3. Look for a cracked wall on your right; use a bomb or a blunt weapon to break it.
4. Inside, defeat the Magma Wyrm mini-boss (weak to ice).
5. Open the chest behind the wyrm to receive the Dragonbone Blade.

This is a one-time pickup, so you can’t farm it. If you miss it, you’ll need to start a New Game+.

How to Choose the Right Sword for Your Build

Your choice should match your stat allocation and playstyle.

• Strength builds – Dragonbone Blade is the top pick. It scales with Strength (A scaling at +10) and deals bonus fire damage.
• Magic builds – Moonlight Greatsword is best. It scales with Intelligence (S scaling at +10) and its projectile costs no mana.
• Dexterity builds – Stormcaller Saber is a good alternative, but it’s not as powerful as the two top swords.
• Hybrid builds – Abyssal Cleaver works well if you have both Strength and Faith.

Always check the scaling letter (S, A, B, C) on your weapon. A higher letter means more damage from your stats.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

• Thinking the Moonlight Greatsword is a physical weapon – It deals mostly magic damage, so physical attack boosts won’t help much.
• Ignoring the Dragonbone Blade’s fire damage – Many enemies in the late game are resistant to fire, so keep a backup weapon for those fights.
• Farming the Lunatic Knight before unlocking the cathedral – You can’t access the area until you beat the Grave Warden.
• Assuming the Dragonbone Blade can be farmed – It’s a one-time chest, so don’t waste time trying to re-fight the wyrm.

Comparison: Moonlight vs. Dragonbone

Here’s a quick side-by-side for the two best swords (at +10 upgrade):

• Base damage – Dragonbone: 320 physical + 80 fire; Moonlight: 250 magic.
• Scaling – Dragonbone: A in Strength; Moonlight: S in Intelligence.
• Special effect – Dragonbone: 20% chance to burn; Moonlight: heavy attack fires a magic wave.
• Range – Moonlight has longer reach due to the projectile; Dragonbone has standard greatsword range.
• Best for – Dragonbone for raw melee DPS; Moonlight for kiting and mixed-range combat.

If you have both stats, the Moonlight is generally more versatile, but the Dragonbone wins in pure melee burst.

Upgrading and Infusions

To maximize your sword’s potential:

• Upgrade with Titanite Shards (up to +3), Large Titanite (+4 to +6), and Titanite Chunks (+7 to +9).
• Use a Slab for +10.
• Infuse with Fire or Magic to boost the elemental damage further – but this changes scaling, so only do it if you have the matching stats.

For the Moonlight Greatsword, don’t infuse it – it already has magic damage and intelligence scaling. For the Dragonbone, a Heavy infusion increases Strength scaling and is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I get both swords in one playthrough?
Yes. The Moonlight Greatsword is a farmable drop, and the Dragonbone Blade is a one-time chest. You can get both in the same run.

Q: Which sword is better for PvP?
The Moonlight Greatsword is generally better in PvP because its projectile catches players off-guard. The Dragonbone’s fire damage is often resisted by well-geared players.

Q: How do I increase the drop rate of the Moonlight Greatsword?
Equip the Gold Serpent Ring (found in the Sunken City) and use a Rusted Coin before the fight. This raises item discovery by about 50%.

Q: Is the Dragonbone Blade worth it if I’m a magic build?
No. It scales with Strength, so it will be weak for you. Stick with the Moonlight Greatsword or the Staff of the Archmage.

Q: Can I get the Dragonbone Blade in New Game+?
Yes, the chest respawns in NG+, so you can get another copy for dual-wielding.

Q: What’s the best sword for a new player?
For a first playthrough, the Longsword (bought from the blacksmith in the first town) is reliable and easy to upgrade. The top-tier swords require late-game areas and high stats.
