KCD2 Legacy of the Forge Weapons Tier List and How to Craft
This KCD2 Legacy of the Forge Weapons Tier List ranks every new weapon introduced in the Legacy of the Forge DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and tells you exactly how to obtain each one. Locations and stats are drawn from your shared video transcript; I’ve added route planning so you can collect the full set efficiently.

Fast route to all 12 (minimal backtracking)
- Do Investigations to the end.
- Penultimate mission → Calvaria Axe schematic.
- Final cave → chests with Lingua Belli, Basilisk Warhammer (Caster II), and often another high-tier blade.
- Earlier/mid chests → Pushko’s Push’em schematic can appear.
- Finish Sinners of Kuttenberg (Thieving Contracts).
- Final reward → Caster I (for Buchar/Bukar Mace) and Lion’s Roar (Kilij) schematic.
- Friendly Bouts to completion.
- Beat Sir George three times → Owl’s Claw saber (+ shield).
- Artifact seller visits your forge three times.
- Buy each stub → craft Fake Excalibur, Durendull, then Longsword of the Four Evangelists.
- Master Trial.
- Forge the Blacksmith’s Guild Longsword (Tier 4 if you can).
- St. George’s Sword schematic.
- Grab it during the Orphan’s Inheritance Investigation; after the first drop it can reappear in later chests.
Crafting tips
Heat, rhythm, and finish are what matter; read any smithing manual you bought and quick-save before the final pass.
For cast weapons, just ensure the shelter is built and Pushko is employed; wait 1–2 in-game days for delivery if required.
If you want maximum performance without changing the weapon identity, focus on recrafting to Tier 4 quality and keeping Durability high.
