Queen’s Domain Early Weapons Locations: How to Get Every Starting Weapon and Both Secret Rooms

Quick start: get all four early weapons and reach the first boss

• Talk to the guard to receive the rusty sword, then break the box beside him for an elixir.
• Keep hitting the wooden barrier until it breaks, then save at the crystal monument just beyond it, on your left.
• Climb the stairs into the tower and take the spear.
• Follow the route toward the beach and cross the small island for the throwing knives. Equip them.
• Find the two hidden entrances, break the containers, and pick up the meals and extra items inside.
• At the ruins, hit the first switch with a throwing knife to open a shortcut to the starting area, then hit the second diamond-shaped switch to open the way down.
• Grab the wooden club below, find the key, and return to the injured guard to unlock the gate to the first boss.

What you need before leaving the Queen’s Domain starting area

You only need the rusty sword from the guard and a willingness to break things, because several progress items sit behind objects that take multiple hits. Early fights are rough, so treat healing supplies as part of your kit.

• Rusty sword: given by the guard. This is your first weapon.
• Elixir: inside the box next to the guard. It takes several hits to break.
• Healing supplies: pick them up as you explore. You’ll want a stock before the harder fights.
• Throwing knives (ranged option): you’ll collect these on the beach island. Optional but helpful, since they changed how the early fights play out, and they return after a cooldown, so you never need to save them.

The route from the guard to the first boss gate

The full early route runs guard, barrier, crystal monument, tower, beach island, two hidden rooms, ruins, key, and back to the injured guard’s gate. In plain terms: you start at the guard, break through the wooden barrier, save at the crystal, then loop out through the tower and the beach island for weapons. The two hidden rooms are optional side trips for food and pickups. The ruins hold two switches: the first creates a shortcut home, the second opens the way down to the club and the key. Bring the key back to the injured guard and the gate opens.

How to collect every early weapon and secret room, step by step

1. 1Mark step 1 done

   Talk to the guard and take the rusty sword

   The guard hands you the rusty sword as soon as you speak to him. Before you walk off, break the box beside him for an elixir. It takes several hits, so keep swinging rather than assuming it’s indestructible.

2. 2Mark step 2 done

   Keep hitting the wooden barrier until it breaks

   The wooden barrier blocking your way is breakable, and it works like the box: repeated hits. A lot of players hit it once or twice, assume it’s a wall, and wander off. Stay on it until it breaks.

3. 3Mark step 3 done

   Save at the crystal monument on your left

   Just past the barrier, look left for the crystal monument. It saves your progress, and resting there refills your health without using healing items.

4. 4Mark step 4 done

   Climb the tower stairs for the spear

   Head up the stairs and into the tower to pick up the spear. Grab any healing supplies you see on the way, since you’ll burn through them in these early fights.

5. 5Mark step 5 done

   Cross the beach island for the throwing knives

   Follow the route toward the beach and cross the small island to find the throwing knives. Equip them before moving on. They return after a cooldown, so you can throw them freely instead of hoarding them for a special occasion.

6. 6Mark step 6 done

   Fight with space, a charged attack, and your range option

   Back up, throw a knife, and wait for an opening instead of swinging constantly. Give yourself room and let your power meter recover between attacks. You can also hold your attack to charge it before releasing. Spacing and ranged pokes work far better than button-mashing in the early encounters.

7. 7Mark step 7 done

   Enter the first hidden room and loot it

   The first hidden entrance leads to a room full of breakable containers, so smash them all and collect the loot. Don’t skip the meal: food can increase your stats. After eating, check underneath where the meal was and pick up the paper left behind.

8. 8Mark step 8 done

   Follow the skeleton’s pointing arm to the second hidden room

   The second hidden entrance is marked by a skeleton sitting near a wall and pointing at it. Walk into the wall it points toward to find the way in. Inside is another meal and an extra pickup, both easy to miss when you’re focused on the main path.

   That skeleton is a useful lesson for the rest of the game: environmental clues like pointing bodies can signal secrets, so keep an eye out for them.

9. 9Mark step 9 done

   Hit the first ruins switch with a throwing knife to open the shortcut

   At the ruins, throw a knife at the switch to open the door. This creates a shortcut back toward the starting area, which makes returning to the crystal monument to heal and save much quicker.

10. 10Mark step 10 done

    Hit the second diamond-shaped switch to open the way down

    Head back into the ruins and throw a knife at the second, diamond-shaped switch to open the path downward. There are enemies below, but there’s also more loot. Grab the wooden club here as you work through.

11. 11Mark step 11 done

    Find the key and unlock the injured guard’s gate

    Keep following the route below the ruins until you find the key. Take it back to the injured guard and use it to unlock the gate. That opens your path to the first boss, and by now you’ll have more weapons and a shortcut to the crystal monument if you need to reset.

    

5 mistakes that stall your early Queen’s Domain run

• Giving up on the wooden barrier after a hit or two. Keep attacking until it breaks.
• Leaving the elixir box after one swing. It takes several hits, so keep going.
• Forgetting that resting respawns enemies. Plan to fight your way back through after saving at the crystal monument.
• Not equipping the throwing knives. Equip them right after you pick them up, then use them for ranged pokes and for the ruins switches.
• Ignoring the skeleton clue. The skeleton pointing at the wall marks the second hidden entrance.
• Skipping the meals. Both hidden rooms contain food, and food can increase your stats.
• Swinging nonstop. Back up, throw, let your power meter recover, and hit when there’s an opening.
