Want to find the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed Origins? This Assassins Creed Origins Legendary Weapons Guide lists all of the awesome Legendary weapons and shields we’ve discovered so far as well as information on how you can add them to your own arsenal.
A lot of the loot and weapon drops in Assassin’s Creed Origins are randomized. However, typically the Legendary items share a common drop or enemy source. Below is a list of the best weapons in Assassin’s Creed Origins, featuring every Legendary weapon we’ve found so far.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Blaine "Captain Camper" Smith is one of the original founders of Gamers Heroes. Now operating under the guise of Editor-in-Chief (purely because we felt the position was needed for public relations purposes), he's tasked with a lot of the kind of jobs that would put you to sleep at your desk.
