WOTS 4 Weapon List

List of all weapons available in Way of the Samurai 4.

Preface and Credits

First off credits for this weapon list goes to Mitsuru Kirijo, Blade_of_Ruins and fuzzy_cheez2 of playstationtrophies.org forum who compiled this list for the benefit all WOTS4 gamers. I benefited a lot from this list and thought i should share this here for easy referrence for all steam users.

Before you proceed, please make sure you have completed at least one playthrough as the list contains spoilers (as with all guides). Take note that said weapons don't spawn/drop everytime, you will have to check the weapons each character is carrying to determine if that indeed is the weapon you seek (check the handle, guard and scabbard).

End

This marks the end of this guide. I hope this was of use to you as much as it helped me.

*This is a work in progress. May add pictures of swords for characters who carry multiple swords across difficulty stages (example, sensei)

[Bee]

For those searching for Icy Glare on PC Play on Normal difficulty not hard+ as listed. Drove me half insane trying to get Chika to have with it on Hakari & Hard for her never to have it, then tried normal and got it most of the time.

[Sebetharen]

Confirmed Dragon Claws are attainable on Hard, not just Harakiri. At least I was able to get them on Hard.

[dragnier1]

Weapon drops are random. You usually need to tell from the scabbard or the guard. In the case of the claws there's no way to tell, so it's really down to your luck on the draw. I turned my extra claws into material anyways.
By the way, does steam have an inbuilt screenshot editor?

[bobhome2]

I'm not sure if it's just rare or what, but I got another dragon claw from Onigawara (the tournament martial artist on foreign path) on HARD rather than harakiri. I was a little confused to find it.

[BlackDragon]

Thanks, got it on Normal. Funky blade! I'm almost tempted to temper it up just for grins and giggles.

[bobhome2]

I got Great Tengu (long blade, short sheath) before Bloomer (short blade, long sheath). Sources online day that Great Tengu is available on normal and easy.

[BlackDragon]

What difficulty was this on?

[dragnier1]

I confirm the sword is dropped by Suzume. Long sword with short sheath. I'll update the guide.

[BlackDragon]

If so, it's either a very rare drop, or a 'hard mode only' drop. His usual sword is the exact opposite - a tiny dagger in an oversized sheath. (Nice way to suggest he's... compensating for something. )

[dragnier1]

Oh boy, i should have catalog those swords when i picked them up, i can't remember...maybe i got it from Suzuki the mobster with afro?
