RELATED: Tales of Arise: Every Armor Set For Alphen (& Where To Find Them)
The first step to crafting a new weapon for Alphen is finding one of these blacksmiths, which is a relatively simple task. There are blacksmiths in all of the inns in Tales of Arise, and many of the campsite merchants can also facilitate weapon crafting. The hard part is tracking down all of the required crafting components, most of which come from defeating powerful Zeugels and other challenging foes.
Updated November 4, 2021 by Tom Bowen: As is often the case with modern video games, Tales of Arise launched with plenty of DLC content already available. What’s more, in the months that have followed its release, several more DLC packs have been made available, including the recent Sword Art Online collaboration. As a result, Alphen now has three additional weapons available to him, two of which are among the very best weapons in Tales of Arise. This guide will explain exactly how players can obtain them, as well as how to find and craft all of the other weapons for Alphen that are currently in the game.
Iron Pipe
How To Obtain The Iron Pipe
Alphen will remove an Iron Pipe from a train car during the game’s prologue, though will lose it shortly after. A little later on, however, players can reacquire the Iron Pipe in Iglia Wastes as part of the “The Mysterious Pair” sub-quest. It may seem useless, but it can eventually be used to craft one of Alphen’s very best weapons and so is definitely worth picking up.
Dull Sword
How To Obtain The Dull Sword
The Dull Sword is given to Alphen by Zephyr near the beginning of the game and is the weakest blade in Alphen’s arsenal. It cannot be upgraded, so becomes useless once the party arrives in Ulzebek and unlocks weapon crafting.

Players will first need to complete the game and then tackle the “Another Hillside Anomaly” quest before this unlocks, however. As with other Devil’s Arms weapons, the weapon’s attack stats depend on how many enemies Alphen has killed.
Protoblade Alma
How To Obtain The Protoblade Alma
The Protoblade Alma can be obtained by purchasing the Ultimate Edition of Tales of Arise or the Premium Costume Pack DLC. It can make the first few realms considerably easier, though becomes somewhat redundant once players have completed the Cyslodia section of the game and gained access to more powerful weapons.
Night-Sky Blade Replica
How To Obtain The Night-Sky Blade Replica
The Night-Sky Blade Replica is one of two special weapons that was added to the game as part of the Sword Art Online Collaboration Pack DLC in October of 2021. Players will receive the sword as a reward for completing the Elite Swordsman Trainee battle at the Viscinct Training Grounds, for which the recommended party level is 99.
Blue Rose Sword Replica
How To Obtain The Blue Rose Sword Replica
Those familiar with Sword Art Online will know that Kirito typically wields two blades, and that is once again the case in Tales of Arise. As well as the Night-Sky Blade Replica, he also brings with him a replica of his Blue Rose Sword, which first appears in Volume 9 of the SAO light novel series. Devil’s Arms aside, it’s the strongest weapon in Tales of Arise at the time of writing and is unlocked at the same time as the Night-Sky Blade Replica.
