Queen's Domain Weapons: Damage Types, Evolutions & Drops

Damage types decide what you carry

Queen’s Domain uses three physical damage types: Slash, Pierce and Impact. Every creature reacts to all three differently, and the bestiary records each monster’s Slash, Impact and Pierce defence as Weak, Normal or Resist. Skeletons are the clearest case: they resist Slash and are Weak to Impact, so the blunt weapon is the right one. The route video uses exactly that logic, telling you to fight the Shrine Guardian with the Wooden Club from the crypt because, like other skeletons, he is weak to impact damage. The community video puts the same rule the other way round: some creatures resist slashing but are very weak to piercing or blunt damage.

Unconfirmed — One community video says skeleton bones “shatter with twice the efficiency” under impact. No source publishes a damage multiplier, so treat the figure as a player’s impression.

Your loadout: three melee, three throwing

You can equip up to three melee weapons at a time, which is enough to carry one answer for each damage type, and up to three throwing weapons. Throwing weapons are the secondaries: they do not consume the Power Meter and they recharge over time, so they are the safe way to attack while your melee stamina recovers. The HUD tracks the charges of whatever throwing weapon you have equipped, and each throwing weapon has its own recharge time.

The Dagger Belt is the first throwing upgrade worth chasing. It gives you three throwing daggers that replenish over time, and it also opens routes that melee cannot reach: throwing daggers at switches and recessed crystals is how parts of the opening area are opened. Note that charging a melee attack blocks your options — you cannot sprint, Wind Dash or throw while a charged strike is held.

Early weapons

Weapon	Damage type	What the sources say
Rusted Short Sword	Slash	The starting weapon, taken from the soldiers at the campfire
Rusted Spear	Pierce	One of the three early weapons listed in the guides
Wooden Club	Impact	Found in the crypt; the recommended answer to skeletons
Holy Sword of Endu	Slash, plus the wind dash	Awarded after the Shrine Guardian and fitted with a Wind Gem
Morningstar	Impact and Pierce	Shop weapon; pairs with the Holy Sword of Endu’s slash attacks
Azure Torch	Not documented	Shoots blue fire, burns enemies and helps solve environmental puzzles
Trident	Not documented	Found in the watery ruins outside Obmuer Temple; raises to a key

Unconfirmed — The Morningstar’s price of 20 ancient coins comes from a single community video. No source confirms the number, and our sources do not publish prices for any other weapon.

Levelling and evolution

Weapons level up with use, and each level raises the weapon’s stats, so the weapon you keep swinging is the one that keeps improving. Rusty weapons evolve into a unique weapon once you have carried them long enough, and the Holy Sword of Endu evolves further and gains beam attacks.

Unconfirmed — The rough number of weapon levels (about five) and the Morningstar price are each stated by one community video only. The beam attacks on the evolved Holy Sword of Endu come from a single community video as well, and no source we checked names the evolved forms or says exactly when a rusty weapon changes.

Unconfirmed — A freeze during weapon evolution was reportedly fixed in version 1.01.01. We have not seen the patch notes themselves, so install the current update before grinding weapon upgrades.

Magic weapons and the shop

Magic weapons have their own casting resource that recharges over time, separate from the Power Meter. When such a weapon is equipped, a Weapon Special Meter appears on the HUD to the right of the Wind Dash meter, and the same charge is shown on the weapon’s own model — the Azure Torch is the clearest example. Ancient coins are scattered across the island, and the shop opens once you have beaten the Shrine Guardian: the drop lets you warp to the shop from any save point.

The bestiary is your weapon reference

The bestiary adds an entry after you kill a creature for the first time and tracks the number of kills. It lists each monster’s Slash, Impact and Pierce defence alongside its experience, life points and attack power, and it tracks loot, showing ”???” until an item has actually dropped. When an encounter feels wrong, the bestiary tells you which damage type to bring, and no source we checked is a better guide than the in-game inventory description of the weapon itself: a weapon that looks like it stabs still deals Slash unless its item description says otherwise.

What we do not have

There is no full weapon database in our sources. We cannot give you a complete weapon list, damage values, prices beyond the Morningstar, drop rates, or the names of evolved weapons — the community figures of over 50 melee weapons and 20 throwing weapon types come from developer promises, not from an in-game list. Treat the inventory description as the authoritative source for a weapon’s damage types.
