These handy little (and sometimes decidedly not-so-little) weapons give you another way to deal with enemies. They add some extra range and damage to your fights. There are several sidearms scattered throughout the game, and finding them can mean exploring dungeons or poking around places you might otherwise sprint straight past. Thankfully, you don't have to wander around the world hoping to accidentally stumble across one. This guide breaks down every sidearm available, with a quick description of each weapon and clear directions for finding them. Time to get armed and slightly more dangerous.

Forgotten Crossbow A crossbow that fires bolts at enemies from a distance. Head northwest from the Blackridge Pass Beacon and use the arc to open the door leading into the Flooded Village dungeon.

Use the key to open the building in the center of the area, where the Forgotten Crossbow is on a table. Salvaged Trebuchaxe A ranged weapon that launches axes at enemies. Travel south from the Gloomshade Grove Beacon to the Ravaged Hideout dungeon. Defeat the nearby Bloodcursed Lithopod to access it, then follow the dungeon to the final room. The weapon is on a body.
