List of weapons:
1. Monster killer - we run from the “Hunter’s Nightmare” lantern up the stairs to the cathedral, jump to the left onto the ledge and pick up the weapon on the corpse.
2. Rattleshammer - From the "Hunter's Nightmare" lantern we go to the building where on the ground floor there is a chair with a bomb, after it explodes, we select the weapon.
3. Gatling gun - From the "Hunter's Nightmare" lantern we go to the bloody river and turn right through the mosquitoes, in a dark cave an evil hunter is waiting for us with this machine gun, from which this weapon will fall out.
4. Hand of Amygdala - Located in a dark cave in the same place where we kill the evil hunter from whom we pick up the Gatling Gun.
5. Piercing weapon - From the "Hunter's Nightmare" lantern we go up the stairs to the cathedral and, one doorway short of the main gate, turn right through the tunnel to the house where on the ground floor there is a chair with a bomb. We go up the left passage up the stairs and meet a monster-like hunter, a medallion will fall out of him, and weapons can be purchased at the bathhouse for 20,000.
6. Saif of the monster hunter - from the “Nightmare of the Hunter” lantern we run to the bloody river, then along it through the bridge with monsters and turn left into the tunnel, there you will see a tower littered on its side, after which there are a bunch of crows with a hunter. Go up the stairs and to the left and jump onto the ledge, where the hunter immediately appears, and the weapon lies there.
7. Spinning saw - from the “Church of Nightmare” lantern we go down the narrow staircase, which is in the middle of the hall, where a hunter attacks from above. We jump down into a bloody river with a bunch of crows and at the exit we will see a corpse with the necessary weapon.
8. Sword of Sacred Moonlight - Will lie on the head near the stairs at the site of the murder of Ludwig the Damned. 1. We put on a black or white church set, talk to the head, answer “yes”, and he gives the sword. 2. Kill the head and take it. 3. After the battle with Maria, we return to the place of the battle with Ludwig and take the sword from the corpse.
9. Gratia's Fist - From the "Underground Heap of Corpses" lantern in one of the prison cells.
10. Church cannon - From the "Underground Heap of Corpses" lantern we climb through the prison along the stairs into the cathedral, where 2 hunters attack you at the altar. Entering the altar, the elevator is activated. As soon as it is activated, we jump down, wait, and a new altar immediately appears, activate the lever and jump onto this altar, go down and open the chest with weapons.
11. Church Slander - Found in prison from the "Underground Heap of Corpses" lantern in one of the cells, or rather, dropped by the evil hunter who is waiting in this cell. To open it, you need to get the key, which is located in the “Hall of Research” location. The key is on the floor, which will open after activating the lever, when the stairs move and you can go to the boss.
12. Shield of Lokh - Located on a small balcony in the “Hall of Research”. You can pick it up only after activating the lever, which will move the stairs to get to the boss of the location. From the lantern we simply go up the spiral staircase and pick it up.
13. Rakuyo - From the "Fishing Village" lantern in the center in the water near the shaman you will see a well where 2 giant toads are waiting. The tactics with them were described, here is my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KzdZ8TRVkU
14. Simon's sharp bow - You must complete Simon's quest, then at the lantern in front of the boss Orphan of Kos in the hut you can meet him lying on the floor, he will say how unfair everything is to the hunters and will die, and this weapon will fall out of him.
Simon can be met 4 times, but I got 3. The first time we meet is from the very first lantern, when we pass through the bloody river with a bridge on which there are many shooting monsters, to the right, opening a short path to the lantern. Then you can meet him after killing Ludwig, if you are in a certain set. Then in the Research Hall, where he asks to kill Maria. The last meeting is in the hut described above.
15. Bloodletter - In one of the prison cells, behind a closed door, sits the hunter Brador, the same one who will then ring the ominous bell and constantly attack. To open the door, you need to take the key that Simon will give after death (see Simon's quest, weapon "Simon's Sharp Bow"). We kill Brador and take the weapon.
16. Parasite of Kos - Given for defeating the boss Orphan of Kos.

If it's hard to kill the creatures in the well and get Rakuyo, then there is a way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ5W1_JiZ9s

Here is a video where the key lies (from the door in the prison behind Ludwig), in order to get where you need to go through the hole in the elevator, you first need to go to the very top of the location and swap the stairs (the same applies to the Shield, which lies there on the platform)

It's quite easy to miss the "Church Slander" weapon, which is found by the hunter in the prison after Ludwig's murder. The key can be found in the research hall after you turn the stairs, just carefully walk through the location again.

PS After you open the camera, the hunter will be standing behind the door, that is, it won’t be difficult for you to get stabbed in the back.

Be careful - I don’t know if this is a bug, or if it was intended this way - after killing Ludwig, I talked to my head (without the church set), did not kill and moved on. I reached the last boss, returned to the head for the sword, but there was an arrow sticking out of the head and there was no sword and nowhere to get it - I’ll have to replay it again. So if you need a trophy, it’s better to kill the head right away.

There is a danger of missing the moonlight sword. After killing Maria, Simon will shoot Ludwig's head and getting the sword on this NG circle is not possible.

You can also skip Simon's weapon - I accidentally killed him at the first meeting - in the end he simply isn't there to get the weapon.

It is better to use this guide; it is more complete and consistent. Exactly, well, miss Simon's bow like I did.

Apparently with the updates they changed the name “piercing weapon” to “piercing gun”, maybe someone will find it useful

MagnatBelka! apparently one of us has a bug - I also killed Simon at the first meeting and the Bow immediately fell from him. But, the key was lying on the corpse, in the fishing village, near the second lantern (checkpoint)

Life hack: to get all the weapons in the game you don’t need to switch to NG+, if you missed any quest to get a weapon, don’t switch either. All weapons can be obtained in cups by glyphs, creepy or lost, no matter which trophy is counted, verified 05.30.20

There is a way to kill two weirdos in a well even easier than in the video!
We approach from the elevator, having previously killed the walking brains. But the enemy stands still and does not move. We jump down and immediately climb onto the stairs, go up and make a circle.
Having arrived at the place where we killed the brains, we do not come too close to the edge. You need to look to where the anchor reaches upon impact. Well, now the cane-whip will help you. You just need to hit when the weirdo strikes from top to bottom, otherwise you will also receive damage. It’s long, of course, but it’s safe.

To get the weapon from Simon necessary for the achievement, you must remember to talk to him in the hunter's nightmare at the very beginning of the add-on.
I talked to him myself after I killed all the bosses except Scythe. After the first dialogue, he immediately appeared half-dead in the hut. So, whoever forgot him at the beginning is not a problem. The dialogue after each beaten boss apparently does not have much effect on getting a bow.

I'll add a hint from "dimaradiator"

"If it's hard to kill the creatures in the well and get Rakuyo, then there is a way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ5W1_JiZ9s"

In the video, you can’t hope for the author, either he was extremely lucky or this is the 1001st attempt. In the video, the toads are fiercely stupid, but in reality, when the second one enters the battle, it is already extremely difficult to simply get up or heal.
Your task is to kill the first toad before the second one enters the battle, and it enters when the first toad has about 30% HP left (the second one is under the ceiling near the stairs). So you need to kill the first one as quickly as possible. You need to fight on the side of the arena opposite from the stairs. We leave approximately 40-45% of the XP to the first toad and counter it with a pistol (the second toad jumped from the ceiling, but it is behind the column and still needs to run), quickly finish off the first toad. With the second, if it is the only one, it will be easier.

There’s no need to invent anything about Rakuyo. These two big guys in the well of the Fisherman’s Village are fended off, in general, easily. Open any shortcut through the roofs (push the ladder towards the lamp). Somehow I don’t always react in time to pressing the necessary buttons; I knocked them out with the first time. First, you are attacked by one with an anchor, when he has half of his XP left, the second one will connect, he hangs on the ceiling, and a weapon falls from him. Quickly take down the first one, then the second one, respectively.

In order to get Bow-Simon, it is not necessary to talk to him at the beginning of the DLC. After I completed the entire expansion, I only needed this weapon for the trophy.

Video with the chain of actions necessary to obtain a weapon (Simon's Bow).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrRyBvZfrFY

I didn’t find this NPC at the beginning of the DLS and naturally didn’t talk.
At the end of the DLS, in the place where he lies and the last conversation takes place with him, he gives out a key and a bow.
When I walked through, there was only a key there.

After completing the DLS, I found it in the place indicated in the video, i.e. At the very beginning, I talked and answered “Yes.” After the conversation, I teleported to the final lamp (in front of the Orphan of Kos) and lo and behold, he was lying wounded on the floor, after the conversation he gave me a bow.

Therefore, this weapon is not missable.

I got Simon's bow by simply killing him at the first meeting, when I opened the door on the right (short path) in the Cathedral District, I didn't take any steps from the video to get it.
