Marium’s Soulslike Weaponry

Marium’s Soulslike Weaponry (“Soul Weaponry”) is a boss-and-gear chapter built on soul materials, a chain of summonable bosses, and an arsenal of themed weapons and firearms. It all starts with a single soul sand. See Core RPG & Combat Mods.

Material base

  1. Lunar Source — mine Moonstone and Verglas in the deepslate layers (uncommon). These are core to soul equipment.
  2. Soul Crafting — smelt Soul Sand into Lost Souls, then craft Soul Infused Ingots — the main soul-equipment ingredient.
  3. Building blocks — Infused Blackstone, Soulfire Stain, Soul Lamp (decorative, seen in the bosses’ structures).

Boss progression (Lord Souls)

Craft a Boss Compass to locate them. Each boss frees/kills a fallen figure and yields a Lord Soul used to awaken gear:

  • Champion’s Grave — the champion boss.
  • Accursed Lord (“Fall of a Kingdom”) → Lord Soul Red + Withered Demon Heart.
  • Draugr Boss (“Fallen Puppet”) → Lord Soul Dark + Essence of Eventide.
  • Returning Knight / Moonknight (“Retribution”) → Lord Soul White + Essence of Luminescence, via the Altar Block.
  • The Wither (“The Abyss Stares Back”) → Lord Soul Void + a chaotic shard.
  • Ender Dragon (“Essence of the Dragon”) → Lord Soul Purple.
  • Chaos Monarch — summoned from the Blackstone Pedestal with the shard; drops the Chaos Crown and Chaos Robes.

Weapons & gear

  • Moonlight swords — craft Bluemoon blades (“Imitation Moon”), then insert a powerful soul to awaken them into Moonlight Shortsword/Greatsword.
  • Firearms (use Silver Bullets): Hunter Pistol (quick reload), Blunderbuss (shotgun blast), Hunter Cannon (10 bullets → one cannonball, long reload), Gatling Gun (rapid fire, eats bullets).
  • Signature weapons: Soul Reaper (summon the dead), Holy Moonlight Sword (transforms between forms), Lich Bane (true magic damage above ⅓ target HP), Comet Spear, Galeforce bow, Bloodthirster (lifesteal), Darkin Blade / Darkin Scythe (evolves from red/blue souls), Leviathan Axe (freeze + ice explosion), Withered Wabbajack (random gamble effects), Mjolnir (lightning), Freyr Sword (fights on its own).
  • Armor sets: Soul Robes (dark sorcerer set), Soul Ingot armor (durable), and Forlorn armor (drops only from Evil Forlorns in the Soul Sand Valley).
  • Moonstone tools (stronger than diamond) and the Moonstone Ring (launch magical waves).
  • Novelty: kill Chunguses for Chungus Emeralds (9 → the Big Chungus music disc).
