GAMEPLAY QUESTIONS

Where do I get the weapons I made in the Blacksmith mode?

The Horseman will drop your weapon mid-level whenever your Spirit Burden is Low or High. He will also drop other top weapons made by the community.

Which Blacksmith weapons can I get in my game?

Your game is set to Tribute Picks by default so you will get the devs' favourite user-forged weapons. We keep adding more over time. You’ll also get your own weapons.

On Steam you can download specific weapons from the Workshop. On Switch there is no actual place to download specific weapons unfortunately, but you can switch (no pun intended) the Blacksmith filter setting to Public (in the Options menu) to get all of the weapons ever created on your platform. (Warning: you could get some weird drops!)
Your own weapons will always drop in-game unless you turn the Blacksmith filter off in the settings.

The Blacksmith is available on both platforms, but user-forged weapons are not shared cross-platforms.

Will I get some kind of NSFW sword in my game?

No, unless you want to and make your own… Only you will see it. Your game is set to Tribute Picks by default so you will get the devs' favourite user-forged weapons. We don’t choose NSFW weapons for the Tribute Picks.

What is the Spirit Burden?

Weapons are made from the spirits of the dead. Picking up weapons increases the number of spirits you carry. The Spirit Burden measures the total number of spirits of the weapons you’re carrying. Having a Low, Normal or High Spirit Burden level will have a different impact on your game. You can see the Spirit Burden level when opening your inventory.

If your Spirit Burden is high (meaning you have too many weapons), the Horseman will fight you mid-level, enemies will deal a bit more damage and the Weapon Keepers will be harder to kill. To avoid this, you should regularly release spirits by getting rid of some weapons (throwing them, breaking them, etc.). In short, the more weapons you hoard the harder the game becomes.

If your Spirit Burden is too low, the Horseman will appear mid-level to give you a weapon to help you. The Horseman won't appear if the level is normal.

Why does the Horseman appear mid-level only on some occasions?

If your Spirit Burden is high (meaning you have too many weapons), the Horseman will fight you mid-level, enemies will deal a bit more damage and the Weapon Keepers will be harder to kill. If your Spirit Burden is too low, the Horseman will appear to give you a weapon to help you. The Horseman won't appear if the level is normal. You will only meet the Horseman once per level unless you are game over and start again.

Can I skip boss intro cutscenes? I'm still getting to grips with the controls and having to see the horseman kill the wendigo four times every level retry is just getting aggravating.
