Hell Slayer is a top-tier straight sword variant from the Christmas event. Its Gargantuan version uses rare Island 3 ores for massive multipliers, explosions, and one-shot potential on bosses. Here's how to go about crafting it.
How to unlock Hell Slayer blueprint
Reach Frostpire Island (Island 3) at EXP 70 via teleport. Farm Xmas Tickets from Santa quests, then purchase the blueprint from his shop. This enables the locked straight sword recipe in the crafting menu.
How to gather Gargantuan ores
Mine in Frostpire Expanse or The Peak with a high-tier pickaxe (420+ base power recommended). Prioritize large ice crystals and break ice blocks for access. Gargantuan drops rarely but stacks for 100% recipes.
How to craft Gargantuan Hell Slayer
Head to the forging station between the potion seller and rune maker. Select straight sword with Hell Slayer blueprint unlocked, input the recipe below, and forge—RNG determines the variant (retry if needed, stop on rapier).
Step 1
Make sure you have the Hell Slayer blueprint and have 6 Gargantuan ores (or a mix for multiple attempts - 2 Gargantuan, 2 Iceite, 2 Suryafal for 80% straight sword hit and high multiplier).
Step 2
Place ores in forge: Aim for 100% Gargantuan for 25x multiplier and explosion passive (35% chance, 50% AOE damage); alternatives like 67% Heavenite/33% Suryafal hit 18.33x.
Step 3
Add runes or chips: Blast Chip for explosions, Drain Edge for lifesteal (11% heal), plus burn or freeze passives from Iceite.
Equip with runes for 20% attack speed and 11% lifesteal; pairs best with Dwarf race for grinding efficiency. Post 28.12.2025 nerf, Gargantuan dropped to 25x but remains meta for Island 3.
Gargantuan ores from Island 3 mines elevate it to elite status with divine rarity and passives like explosions. This build one-taps orcs and shreds Yeti bosses with fast swings and AOE, staying viable into Island 4.
