Weapon recipes in Iron Soul: Dungeon are driven by the ores you feed the forge. Here are the notable ore combinations reported by the community.
Notable mixed-ore recipes
| Recipe | Ratio | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Witherite : Eye of Evil | 2 : 1 | Late-game craft; slightly stronger results. |
| Sunflare : Fluorite | 1 : 2 | Mythic equipment around the Frozen Valley / Tier 2 range. |
| Earthmaw : Voidstar | 2 : 1 | Stretches your ore supply; good for Frozen Valley / Tier 2. |
| Earthmaw : Aquamarine | 2 : 1 | Early mythic Tier 3 option — for the Oathlost Castle Trial/Hell struggle. |
Where to get the recipe ores
- Witherite — mythic ore, level 43, hell mode only. One of the rarest materials in the game.
- Voidstar — legendary ore, level 26.
- Earthmaw — mythic ore, level 30.
- Sunflare — epic ore, level 24.
- Fluorite — mythic ore, level 19.
- Eye of Evil and Aquamarine — uncommon crafting ingredients found in dungeon drops.
Ores come from dungeon drops — the higher the ore level, the deeper or harder the dungeon you need, and hell-mode ores require hell mode. See the full mythic ore list for every mythic ore and its level.
Heavy weapon recipe
Heavy weapons are the high-damage, slow-swinging class. They cost the most ore:
- Heavy weapon — 16 ore (100% success chance).
- Forge with a single ore type for a predictable result.
The "heavy weapon recipe" people search for is simply 16 ores of the type you want to base the weapon on. Load them, confirm the multiplier, and hit Forge in the orange zone.
Single-type forging
For predictable results, use a single ore type. The base costs are:
- Light weapon — 3 ore
- Staff — 10 ore
- Heavy weapon — 16 ore
The resulting weapon type depends on the ore and the weight class. Higher-grade ores (like mythic) raise both the multiplier and the rarity of the finished gear.
Kiss of Death
The Kiss of Death is a craftable weapon players frequently search for, but its exact ore recipe isn't confirmed yet. Until it is, craft with high-grade ores (at least half of them mythic) and watch the multiplier. Full guide: how to craft the Kiss of Death.
Weapon rarity rule
To craft a mythic weapon, at least half of the ores you use must be mythic. Mixing in lower-grade ores drops the result quality.
Why recipes fail (common causes)
- Missed the orange zone — the forge mini-game can only lower quality, never raise it.
- Wrong ore count for the weight class — light needs 3, staff needs 10, heavy needs 16.
- Too many ore types — mixing widens the crafting pool and makes the result unpredictable.
- Not enough mythic ore — less than half mythic means no mythic result.
