Wan’s Wonder Weapons Mod Guide

Wan’s Wonder Weapons is a mod that adds 16 powerful Relic-tier weapons to Hytale, each with its own look, feel, and a unique signature ability. Whether you want to raise the dead, summon lightning, or erase enemies from existence, there is something here for every playstyle.

Every weapon is craftable using in-game materials. With the right preparation, even newer players can work toward these weapons and feel their impact in combat.

How to Craft the Weapons

Every weapon in Wan’s Wonder Weapons is crafted at a Tier 3 Weapon Bench using the same four ingredients. The recipe never changes between weapons; only the bench category (Sword, Mace, Dagger, etc.) needs to match the weapon type.

Gathering Materials

Below is exactly where to find each ingredient and the most efficient way to gather it.

Adamantite Ore is found exclusively in the Devastated Lands, the volcanic Zone 4 region, identifiable by its dark purple areas on the map. The best sub-biome to search is the Cinder Wastes, located near oceans within the Devastated Lands and containing the highest concentrations of the ore.

You will need at least a Thorium Pickaxe or Cobalt Pickaxe to mine Adamantite Ore. Once you have collected enough ore, smelt it in a Furnace to produce Adamantite Bars. You can also find bars and ore inside chests hidden in structures and camps scattered throughout the Devastated Lands, so explore any ruins you come across.

Heavy Leather is made by processing a Heavy Hide at a Tanning Rack. Heavy Hides drop from large and tough animals, including Bears, Crocodiles, Yetis, and Mosshorns, the bison-like creatures found in Zone 1.

The Boreal Mountains biome is one of the most reliable places to farm Heavy Hides, thanks to the high density of large animals in the area. Once you have collected enough hides, place them in your Tanning Rack, and they will convert into Heavy Leather automatically over time.

Void Essence drops from Void enemies, specifically Void Eyes, Void Spawns, and Void Spectres. These creatures only appear in the dark, so you will need to hunt them at night or in dark underground areas. Every Voidspawn killed is guaranteed to drop at least one Void Essence, making them the most reliable source.

Later in the game, you can access the Void Gateway, an advanced structure unlocked through the Arcanist’s Workbench. Entering the gateway takes you to an area with very high concentrations of Void enemies, making it the fastest way to farm large quantities of Void Essence.

The Voidheart is the hardest ingredient to obtain and is considered an Epic rarity item. It has a low drop chance from Void Spawn enemies, but the most efficient farming method is to target Void Eye enemies in Zone 3, particularly in the Icy Biome. Expect to defeat somewhere between 20 and 50 enemies before one drops.

The Void Gateway is also a strong option for farming Voidhearts once you have access to it, as the higher density of Void enemies inside makes the grind significantly shorter. Be aware that the enemies inside the gateway are considerably tougher than standard nighttime Void spawns.

Once you have all four ingredients, head to a Tier 3 Weapon Bench and get crafting!

All Weapons Overview

Below is every weapon added by the mod, grouped by type. Each entry includes a short description of the weapon’s theme and its standout gameplay trait.

Daggers

All daggers in Wan’s Wonder Weapons are dual-wielded, meaning your character holds one in each hand. They are the fastest weapon type in the mod and reward aggressive, up-close play. Each dagger also applies a unique on-hit status effect when using its signature ability.

Swords

Swords can be used with a shield. They’re the default go-to weapons. There are only 3 Swords from the Wan’s Wonder Weapons Mod.

Longsword

The Soulblight is the only longsword in the mod and one of its most unique weapons. Once wielded by a powerful Lich, it feeds on the souls of fallen enemies and uses them to raise Undead allies that fight alongside you.

When the signature ability activates, a soul portal opens and a Soulblight Zombie is summoned to fight on your behalf. The lore warns that the undead are not always obedient, which is reflected in their independent behavior in combat.

Maces

The three maces are the heaviest weapons in the mod. They hit hard on normal swings and even harder on charged swings, and all three share the same signature ability: a powerful Groundslam that launches you into the air before slamming down with an area-of-effect explosion.

Battleaxe

The God Slayer is the only battleaxe in the mod and the heaviest-feeling weapon overall. It deals enormous damage per hit but swings very slowly. Its signature ability is a Whirlwind spin attack that hits everything around you.

The God Slayer is not built for fast combat. It rewards patient, well-timed strikes and is at its best when surrounded by multiple enemies where each slow swing can hit several targets at once.

Scythe

The Void Requiem is a scythe made at the edge of the void itself. Its description says it does not cut so much as conclude, severing enemies from fate with each swing. Press right-click to dash (compatible with the Zephyr mod for further customization).

How the Signature Ability Works

Every weapon in the mod has a Signature Ability bar that fills up as you land hits in combat. Once the bar reaches 100%, press Q to unleash the weapon’s unique ability. The bar resets after the ability is used.

Some weapons also have secondary abilities on separate keybinds. On weapons that support it, pressing E activates a movement ability such as a dash, and pressing R toggles between different stances or aspects. The Eclipsebound daggers and Chromatic Cleaver make the most use of these extra inputs.
