Brutality Combat Gear Guide: Swords, Gauntlets, and Legendary Weapons
This guide covers the crafting recipes and uses for the most powerful swords, gauntlets, and other combat gear added by the Brutality addon. Each weapon requires a specific set of rare components and a base tool, so gather your materials before heading to the crafting table.
Blade of the Ruined King
The Blade of the Ruined King is a high-tier sword built around a corrupted or drained theme. To craft it, you will need two 
Echo Shards, one 
Dimlite Ingot, two 
Lost Souls, one 
Warden Soul, and a standard 
Dimlite Sword as the base weapon.
Arrange these in a shaped pattern: place the Echo Shards in the top-left and top-right corners, the Dimlite Ingot in the center, the Lost Souls in the middle-left and middle-right slots, the Warden Soul directly below the center, and the Dimlite Sword in the bottom-center slot. The result is a sword that likely excels against enemies weakened by soul-based effects, given its reliance on soul materials.
Blood Pulse Gauntlets
For players who prefer unarmed-style combat, the 
Blood Pulse Gauntlets offer a powerful alternative. This crafting recipe requires two 
Spiteful Souls, two 
Chthonic Crystals, two 
Unbridled Rage items, and a 
Diamond Gauntlet as the base.
Place the Spiteful Souls in the top-left and top-right corners. Put the Chthonic Crystals in the middle-left and middle-right slots. Set the Unbridled Rage items in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners. Finally, place the Diamond Gauntlet in the center. The finished gauntlets channel raw aggression and crystalline energy, making them suited for rapid, close-quarters strikes.
The Darkin Blade
The Darkin Blade is a formidable sword forged from void-touched materials. Its recipe calls for two 
Chthonian Voids, two 
Basalt blocks, two Spiteful Souls, and a 
Hellspec Sword as the base weapon.
In the crafting grid, put the Chthonian Voids in the top-left and top-right corners. Place the Basalt blocks in the middle-left and middle-right slots. Add the Spiteful Souls to the bottom-left and bottom-right corners. Set the Hellspec Sword in the center. This arrangement produces a blade that likely draws power from the void and spite, making it a strong choice against demonic or chaotic foes.
The Darkin Scythe
Sharing a name and theme with the Darkin Blade, the Darkin Scythe is a polearm-style weapon with a wider swing arc. Its recipe mirrors the blade but uses a 
Hellspec Hoe as the base tool instead of a sword.
You will need two Chthonian Voids, two Basalt blocks, two Spiteful Souls, and the Hellspec Hoe. Place the Chthonian Voids in the top-left and top-right corners, the Basalt blocks in the middle-left and middle-right slots, and the Spiteful Souls in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners. Put the Hellspec Hoe in the center. The scythe offers a different combat rhythm, likely hitting multiple targets in an arc.
Frostmourne
The Frostmourne is a legendary sword themed around ice and cold, requiring a mix of infernal and frozen components. To craft it, gather two 
Daemonium items, one 
Sapphire, two 
Blue Ice blocks, one 
Spectral Soul, and a 
Netherite Sword as the base.
Arrange the Daemonium in the top-left and top-right corners. Place the Sapphire in the top-center slot. Put the Blue Ice blocks in the middle-left and middle-right slots. Set the Spectral Soul directly below the center, and the Netherite Sword in the bottom-center slot. The final weapon likely inflicts frost damage or slows enemies, given its icy construction.
Gungnir
The Gungnir is a legendary spear, named after the mythical weapon of Odin. Its crafting recipe is the most complex, requiring two 
Hellspec Alloy Ingots, one 
Unholy Lance, one 
Archangel Halo, and one 
Stratus Storm Ruler.
Place the Hellspec Alloy Ingots in the top-left and top-right corners. Put the Unholy Lance in the center slot. Set the Archangel Halo directly above the lance, and the Stratus Storm Ruler directly below it. The finished spear combines unholy and holy elements, likely granting it exceptional reach and damage output.
Final Notes
All six weapons require shaped crafting, meaning the components must be placed in the exact positions described. Be sure to use the correct base item—swords, hoes, or gauntlets—as specified, since substituting a different tool will not work. Collect the rare souls, crystals, and ingots first, then craft these weapons to dramatically increase your combat power.
