Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Regular Swords
Built to crit. Max level Critical Hit Rate and level 2 Critical Hit Damage give this sword massive damage potential. If that’s not enough, you restore a bit of health with each kill too. Perfect for taking down large groups of enemies.
You get the Golden Wolf by killing The Outsider Phylakes.
Max level Critical Hit Rate and a Sleep on Hit special bonus means that one way or another, your enemies lights are going to go out. A level 1 Combo Multiplier lets the weapon down a little but it’s still a very powerful option.
This is one of many potential rewards for completing special daily quests.
You can purchase this from the Hidden Ones store once you complete the game.
A blade that is as deadly as it is stylish. With Critical Hit Rate level 2, Adrenaline on Hurt level 2 and Health on Hit, this weapon delivers as much damage as it heals. A great addition to a well-rounded arsenal.
This is a random drop obtained from a Heka Chest that you buy for 3,000 Coins
A weapon of great value. Sentimentally, and on the field of battle. This Legendary Sword is said to have magical properties. Which is about the only thing that could explain the Level 3 Critical Hit Rate, Level 2 Adrenaline on Hurt and the chance to set your opponent ablaze with every swing.
This Legendary Regular Sword is unlocked through progressing in the story missions.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Sickle Swords
This is a bonus sword offered with the Digital Deluxe Pre-Order. Max level Critical Hit Damage and Poison on Hit make it a fantastic tool for tearing your opponents apart quickly. A single level advantage is usually enough to dispatch of most foes with a single blow.
Imitation is the best form of flattery. This blade, although not legit, is still deadly in its own right. Bleeding on Hit level 2 and level 1 Critical Hit Damage round out a great offensive weapon, add on the curse and you’re swinging for the fences.
Complete the side quest Forging Siwa in Faiyum.
The design on this blade is exquisite, you won’t do much better in terms of looking the part. However, with only level 1 perks and a low quality overall, it’s best you keep this one for the display case.
This is a possible reward from the chests at Nomad’s Bazaar
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Spears
Huge critical hit damage and an insane reach make the Sarissa a deadly weapon against heavily armored foes. Combined with the insane damage boost from Cursed and you’ve got yourself a pointed killing machine.
You get the Sarissa spear from killing The Stranger Phylakes.
A long reach, good stopping power and a level 3 Critical Hit Damage bonus to boot. Packs a good punch for something reported to be 400 years old.
Complete the side quest A Bad Apple.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Heavy Blades
Arguably the most impressive looking weapon in the game and it packs a punch to boot. Built for Adrenaline this awesome looking sword also has the nice benefit of health on kills.
This is a reward for beating one of the bosses in Arena.
This is a great weapon if you find yourself constantly on the offensive. Adrenaline on Hurt gives you a boost of Adrenaline whenever you receive damage and the additional Critical Hit Damage doesn’t hurt either.
This is one of many potential rewards for completing special daily quests.
Don’t listen to what they tell you. Size matters. The Headsplitter is a huge heavy blade that’s might is matched by its size. Adrenaline junkies will adore this weapon with additional Adrenaline provided on damage received and kills. Throw on top of that a heal everytime you crit and you’ve got an all night party.
You get the Headsplitter (Heavy Blade) from killing The Hill Phylakes.
You can purchase this weapon from the Hidden Ones store after you complete the game.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Scepters
Enter the battle as a devout priest of the gods, leave with your enemies bodies in pieces. The Staff of Sehetep is deceptively fast and has a great range. Coupled with additional bonuses to combo multipliers and the ability to bleed enemies, and this isn’t a bad choice to bring into a fight.
You obtain this Scepter by completing side quest Bad Faith in Krokodilopolis
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Dual Sword
Why have one when you can have two? The Legendary Storm Blades are as fast as they are deadly. While limited in range, the instant charging of heavy attacks makes this weapon deadly in all situations. Combined with more Adrenaline and a better Critical Hit rate, you’ll have twice the fun running around with these.
You get the Storm Blades (Dual Sword) from killing Ra’s Mercy Phylakes.
You can purchase this weapon from the Hidden Ones store after you complete the game.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Heavy Blunt
You can’t have a headache when you’re dead right? I’m sure the moments before the Headache Remedy crushes your skull are painful, but at least it’s brief. Adrenaline on Kill and Adrenaline on Hurt make this a great weapon for building up a rage.
You get the Headache Remedy from completing the Twin Despair Papyrus puzzle.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Bows
Deadly accurate and deadly fast. The Bow of Wadjet has a level 3 Rate of Fire increase and level 2 Critical Hit Damage alongside a Poison on Hit effect. Even with the small chance of poison, when you’re firing 5 arrows a second, one of them is going to hit the spot.
Complete the Curse of Wadjet quest in Faiyum.
With a maximum level precision perk, The Fourth Plague is as accurate as it is deadly. Possibly the most accurate bow in the game. Add to that a Critical Hit Damage buff and a Health on Hit perk and you’ve got yourself the perfect tool to wipe away the woes of your foes.
You get the The Fourth Plague (Warrior Bow) from killing Galatian Phylakes.
Deathstorm. Death. Storm. The clue is in the name. A Hunter Bow with an absolutely insane right of fire, able to maximum charge in the time it takes to draw back the bow. Add to that a fiery delivery and you’re looking hot to trot.
You get the Deathstorm (Hunter Bow) from killing Bane of Hathor Phylakes.
The perfect tool to take out enemies from afar. Stealth Damage level 2, Critical Hit Damage level 3 and an Elevation Multiplier bonus. Scope out the joint, pick your targets, get up high and watch the death come from above.
This one isn’t easy. You need to defeat two War Elephants in combat in Uab Nome. For more information check out our guide on where to find War Elephants and how to kill them.
A bow of legend that lives up to its name. Neith has an incredible potential for damage output. Level 3 Rate of Fire with an Extra Arrow perk means you’ve always got one left in the tank and the bleeding on hit is a great way to keep up the damage when you do eventually have to reload.
Tough one. You need to complete every Papyrus puzzle in Assassins Creed Origins. It will be the reward given for the final puzzle.
A dangerous Predator Bow that is just that, a pure predator. Features level 3 Stealth Damage and level 2 Critical Hit Rate, its damage is matched only by its range. Oh, and there’s a chance you set your targets ablaze too. Ra would be pleased.
You get the Smoke and Mirrors bow from killing The Iron Ram Phylakes.
Good luck pronouncing that one. A little weak when compared to the other Legendary Bows but still, a worthwhile weapon to add to your collect.
This is a possible reward from the Nomad’s Bazaar chests.
Level 2 Precision and a Health for Critical bonus is the best this bow has to offer. A high damage rate and rate of fire but a little lacking in the perks department.
This is a possible reward from the Nomad’s Bazaar chests.
One of the most impressive Warrior Bow’s in the game. A level 4 Precision perk with a level 3 Bleeding on Hit is supported by a Health on Hit rare perk. Great all round bow that will leave your enemies looking for Anubis himself.
Reward for completing side quest Smoke over Water in Sap-Res Nome.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide – Trial Of The Gods Weapons
A sword fit for the gods. Level 3 Critical Hit Rate, Level 3 Combo Multiplier and the ability to absorb health on kills. All this can be yours for the low, low price of
killing Anubis himself.
Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Shields Guide
A shield I’ve kept at my side since I began. Level 3 Adrenaline on Parry makes it a fantastic weapon for building your Adrenaline bar quickly. Level 3 Damage Absorption can turn the tide of a battle and the Poison on Block lets you remain on the offensive, even while you’re defending.
This is a bonus sword offered with the Digital Deluxe Pre-Order.
Another fantastic shield option with a Poison on Block effect. Coupled with the Adrenaline on Parry and Ranged Resistance, it’s the perfect upgrade to the Snakes on a Shield without the huge cost of upgrading.
This is a reward for completing Papyrus Puzzles. I obtained it during the Stone Fungus puzzle.
While lacking the wow factor of its defensive compadres, the Reinforced Shield is the stout one of the group. He’s the first to arrive on the field of battle and the last to leave. Maximum Melee Resistance and level 2 Ranged Resistance make this a fantastic all-around shield for defensive purposes.
This was a reward for completing Sobeks Rage Papyrus Puzzle.
The defensive stats on this shield are so incredible, it will knock your enemies out cold. Literally. A sleep on block makes it the perfect tool to turtle up in a corner when outnumbered and it’s additional perks add to its already impressive defensive capabilities.
You get the The Fourth Plague (Warrior Bow) from killing The Iron Bull Phylakes.
Arguably the greatest looking shield in all of Egypt, and it’s not just about the appearance. A max level Ranged Resistance and a level 3 Damage Absorption Rate, combined with a Bleeding on Block makes this shield one of the best the game has to offer.
I got this killing the general in the side quest Playing With Fire in the Green Mountains.

Another error in one of these puzzles. Sobek’s Rage does NOT award a Legendary Shield, it awards you a crappy scepter called Acacia Rod. Please edit this so as to not mislead your readers. Thank you. I need a Legendary Shield in order to achieve the trophy and have yet to find any in the game.
It’s not an error. That’s where I got the shield. I checked my rewards alongside another player for the first few puzzles and they were the same, so I assumed it was universal. It could possibly be randomized but it could also be a reward for completing X amount of puzzles. If you’re within level range, the Djosers Pride shield is easy to get.
I have quite a few puzzles (15) solved thus far, but no Legendary Shield has been awarded me. Ubisoft “generously” gave its players just enough helix credits to not be able to do anything with it. 200 credits. That’s it. Everything is 250-500 credits. I won’t be spending more money on this game as I already paid 60 bucks for it. I am sure I will find a legendary shield somewhere. It’s funny, but Djoser’s Pride is said on several websites, that it can be looted from a blacksmith. These are erroneous because I have never seen a blacksmith have any shield higher than rare. Another funny thing is several sites say that another legendary shield is obtainable by defeating the phylakes or whatever they’re called, but my game says that you get a legendary outfit, not a shield. Either these sites are in error or Ubisoft decided to mix it up and every user is different somehow.
Understandable, micro-transactions are not for everyone. Djoser’s Pride is not an exclusive item. I’ve actually had 4 of them, 2 Legendary, 2 Rare, so there are multiple sources for it. I have checked every Blacksmith I’ve encountered so far, and none of them have sold a Legendary. You get a Legendary Shield for defeating the Phylakes themselves. The outfit reward is for completing the quest itself. Track down the Iron Will Phylake and take him out, see if you have any luck there.
Actually I only have two Phylakes left. Both 40 level. I don’t know if one is called Iron Will, but I could have sworn I defeated one by that name. I could be mistaken. The Galatian and Iron Bull are level 40 and the third one I have to do is level 38, Half Horn. So I am guessing Iron Bull is the one I have to defeat. I’ll defeat all of them in due time. but even level 38 is a little too high for me at the moment.
Sorry, that’s right. Iron Bull. Level 40. You can take him down at level 36 if you’re patient 😀
I’m level 33. I think I will wait until I am 39 or 40 because I had a little trouble with taking down the level 35 one at level 32. He was shooting arrows at me like a Gatling gun! I had to retreat, heal, and return to finish him off. I usually just joust them with my horse back and forth. Pretty simple, these guys, so far. But I am no match for the level 40 guys. And I am certainly not ready for the elephants. Have no idea how I’m going to do that with capping at level 40.
Did you have the skill to get higher rarity items from vendors?
Yes I got that skill ages ago but unfortunately all they offer is rare stuff not legendary stuff. I’m now level 36 and I have yet to find a legendary shield. A friend of mine is a much lower level and hasn’t played much and he’s already found two legendary shields! I’m thinking the game hates me. Lol
Alternatively, you can purchase a Legendary Shield for 250 Helix Credits. I believe you get some for free at the start. I don’t recall if it was 200 or 250
you get 200 helix in game and addidional 500 from the deluxe pack
i think the quest rewards are random, only quality is guaranteed…
i got the Salissa from a Papyrus quest and also from the stranger, also found headache remedy twice but can’T remember where/ how
What’s about Ceremonial Staff? It’s also a legendary scepter, it sets enemies on fire and has combo multiplayer…
weird in my hidden ones shop it doesn’t sell the fatal duet and the serpent axe
It’s possible the stock rotates every day. I’ll check again later today and see what items I have available there
It does indeed rotate. Also, there’s a shield you missed, I just got it today from a box, it’s “Medusa’s Gaze”. Great guide so far though!
I did all Papyrus an didn’t git Neith Bow
Did what you said to get the Reinforced Shield. Instead it gave me the Viper’s Tooth sickle sword.
ceremonial staff
the pheonix spear
Hey bro, don’t forget the Amenhotep’s Bow. It’s a pretty sweet bow. Thanks for this list!
You don’t have the legendary sickle sword called “Viper Tooth” It does poison and bleed damage, probably the best weapon in the game. Got it from a hexa chest.
Just an FYI you are wrong about the aquisition of the ‘reinforced shield” by completing the ‘Sobeks Rage” papyris. When I looted the treasure I got a rare axe.I have also noticed that I have completed a lot of the things in here that you claim you get a specific weapon for yet I don’t have that weapon but I have a whole list of other legendary weapons you don’t have on this site. so what this tells me is that you are incorrect about most of this and that this guide is completel useless.
