Core Keeper Legendary Weapons: How to Get All 7
These are the 7 legendary-rarity weapons in Core Keeper. Each one is made from special parts and a recipe (parchment) or found in a specific place, and most have no durability, so they never break. Click a weapon for step-by-step instructions, where to find every part, its special attack and how strong it is.

How to get each legendary weapon and its special attack
Rune Song (Sword (melee weapon))
- How to get: Buy the recipe, the Rune Parchment, from the Cloaked Merchant for 2,000 Ancient Coins (it goes on sale after the Core is activated).
- Features: Special attack "Song Trail" (hold right-click, then release): sends a damaging trail toward the cursor that passes through walls. It is 2–6 tiles long depending on charge time, deals up to 3× the sword's damage, and has a 25% chance to stun enemies for 2 seconds.

Veil Crux (Scepter (magic weapon))
- How to get: It sits on a blue glass pedestal in the Legendary Scepter Temple in The Desert of Beginnings (you find it rather than craft it). The Veil Echo-Map shows where the temple is (about 600 tiles from the Core).
