How to unlock the Man at Arms achievement in Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale - Definitive Guide

This is mostly speculation at this point, but I believe what the game refer to is weapon types. If you look closely at your weapons tab in the inventory, all weapons have their own little blurry circular images. A weapon called [Effect] + [Name/Type] + [Effect or Modifier] share the same weapon icon with [Effect] + [Name/Type] so a Fiery Dagger +1 is the same as a Deadly Dagger.

You do not have to have all weapons in your inventory at once. Picking them up or buying them one time during your games is enough. Thanks to NuffinButSteele that confirnmed this is tracked between all your characters.

I kept track of all the unique weapon names I could find through one playthrough, and the achievement popped on a Heavy War Pick during the end. Here they are:

--- EDGED (Blades / Axes / Special) ---
Dagger
Short Sword
Elven Short Sword
Longsword
Bastard Sword
Tiefling Bastard Sword
Greatsword
Dragonborn Greatsword
Scimitar
--
Kopesh
Battleaxe
Dwarven Waraxe
Greataxe

--- BLUNT (Hammers / Clubs / Picks / Staffs / Special) ---
Mace
Morningstar
Dwarven Warhammer
Mordenkrad
Club
Heavy War Pick
--
Quarterstaff
Ornate Quarterstaff
Elven Quarterstaff

--- PROJECTILE (Thrown / Bows / Crossbows) ---
Throwing Dagger
Handaxe
Shuriken
Throwing Hammer
Dwarven Throwing Hammer
--
Crossbow
Hand Crossbow
Shortbow
Longbow
Elven Greatbow

--- SHIELDS ---
Even though considered weapons by the Fighter and located in the wepaons tab at merchants, these do not affect the achievement. Thanks to MrBojeezy for confirming this.

Now, although these have unique icons it could be that as far as the achievement goes, it won't differentiate between a Short Sword and an Elven Short Sword, but I did keep a lookout for variations on the most common weapons but didn't find any. If you do happen to find a Elven Dagger or Dwarven Greataxe or similar (not on this list), please post a comment to verify that the Elven/Dwarven/Dragonborn/Ornate versions of a weapon doesn't count.

- The Tenderizer and The Gravedigger are 'special' weapons found during a story event, but they are purple in color and do not count.
- Some say the Tiefling Bastard and Bastard Sword doesn't count, while others unlock the achievement on these weapons.

Any and all comments welcome.

Even though almost 3 years have passed since "Ellusion no"s initial post, presenting a @ min. decent list, i've decided to give it "my 2cents" as well. Why so? Because this achievement caused me a severe headache! I won't refer intendedly to hints, information, speculation, etc. offered within the variety of comments posted here. Instead i'll make the approach to sum up the requirements in order to unlock this achievement by no doubt. Playing online-coop with a friend, from the start, both of us decided paying attention on this achievement in particular after having finished our 1st playthrough. We used the list above as a checklist doing it from scratch. I can neither confirm nor negate the above list in its present form being adequate or not. In fact, FOR ME, the achievement didn't pop after having ticked off the last weapon from the list. Though we were exact handling our business with care i truely can't tell if we didn't accidently miss something(from the list). Definetly worth mentioning is how i finally unlocked it buying a "Tiefling Bastardsword". Funny about it being having it had previously in my inventory, no doubt! So what i proceeded as follows: loaded up a complete character, worked my way through "Elusion no"s list again by visiting every single merchant in each chapter. In order to be sure as well as able to compare i kept all the weapons i bought. In addition to the weapons listed i bought/picked up a "Warhammer", a "Waraxe" and a "Warstaff"(so in fact a 4th kind of "staffsubtype"). As I said it unlocked by purchasing a weapon i once already had in the inventory - "Tiefling Bastardsword". @ the time this happend the only weapon from the list i didn't have in my present inventory was the "Bastardsword". Having used it an extended amount of time on the 1st playthrough i wasn't caught off guard by this event. Now after analyzing all the data i've gathered around this achievement: there is nothing left but a single detail that possiblely might have gone wrong for me on my 1st attempt. I suspect due 1 or 2 disconnects and deaths(both of us had fallen)linked with the usual resale of the items, not always having manually saved after attaining a required weapon, the game in the end could have missed out on counting few. So my advice in order to successfully unlock this achievement, grown from my own painful experience, would be: pick up/buy all weapons listed above as well as the 1s i mentioned in addition, run a checklist and most importantly manually save your game whenever you've actually made progress towards this achievement.

Thanks for the list. Just want to add that they can be bought as well if you think you are missing a couple and have the gold to spend. If you complete the game you can switch between chapters (make sure you save before doing so in case it doesn't register). Each chapter has at least two or so merchants they seem to randomize each time you switch into them. The more rare and exotic weapons being in the Mouth of the Void chapter.

Shields don't count. I never picked up either of the light shields and mine popped after I got the Mordenkrad hammer.

Seems more and more get this achievement on varying weapons so I'll update as we're closer to a accurate guide.

Staff turns out to be purple, so it's probably just a quarterstaff if it counts for anything at all. Someone also says they got the achievement without ever having a Bastard or Tiefling Bastard Sword (which they thought they were missing), and with confirmation of this, I'm thinking the groups are far broader than we expected (bastard = greatsword maybe?)

Possible, it goes by the general type that they call them? 1 handed blade, throwing weapon, 2 handed blade, etc?

Yeah, I've been thinking that Paladin, but then no one would have any trouble, and it would unlock a lot quicker than it does. There's only 6 or so 'broad' groups, and that cannot possibly be the solution. I had all types of quarterstaffs in my inventory when I picked up the war pick and the cheevo unlocked (all 2h blunt weapons). Leaning more towards that the internal basis for when this unlocks is a bit bugged, or says 'pick up 95% of every weapon'

I went through the game with my cousin in online coop and about halfway through the game we both had aquired all of the items on your list minus the regular bastard sword(which isn't needed) and the scimitar. He finally found one and the achievement popped for him. He gave it to me but nothing happened, He was host so I suggested we quit out and reload with me as host and once we did he gave me the scimitar and i got the achievement. So, if you are playing online and not getting it try being host and it should pop for you. I hope this helps.

You speculated correctly. I copied that list and ticked them off whenever I had one in my inventory. The achievement popped the very moment I purchased the last one from a merchant. Good job Ellusion no!

Im currently only missing regular bastard sword and achievement not popping. I'm thinking bigjim may have picked up a bastard sword (possibly a purple one) without realizing.

You said these don't have to be in your inventory all at one time. Does that mean I can pick one up and mark it off the list and if I don't need it sell it?

I just unlocked the achievement and I never had a Bastard Sword in my inventory. I did have a Tiefling Bastard sword in my inventory though. I think they count as the same thing. I got the achievement in Chapter 3 after buying an Elven Quarterstaff from a merchant as it and the Bastard sword were the only ones I was missing from your list. And I answered my own question from my previous comment. You don't have to have the all the weapons on you at one time, as long as you've picked them up at one point it counts. As I accidentally sold a dagger and hand crossbow early on and never found another.

I honestly think there is more to this achievement than this list. It finally popped when I picked up the purple tenderizer in act 2 never did find a bastard sword

Popped during the final battle while I was grinding XP with my first character and grabbing every weapon that dropped. I think it was a bastard sword that did it. Good list, thumbs up.

after having everything on this list in my inventory minus the "bastardsword". the achievement did not unlock until i picked up a crossbow. an item i had picked up countless times before. i have played splitscreen coop all the way and i was not the host. cant explain this, if it doesnt unlock for you after completing this list just keep going, perhaps start a new character singleplayer only to avoid any possible host/client issues

Thanks for the guide. I just picked up all weapons until chapter 3. At the beginning of chapter 3, you will go to the arena a couple of times. Once in the arena, just pick up every weapon on the ground from the dead gladiators. I popped the achievement there, as there are a lot of different weapons there....

This achievement gave me some trouble personally because unlike the others who've posted guides i didn't keep track of what weapons i had already had. My solution to this was very simple go to the final battle and beat up the final boss til he kills the human guy after that he'll spawn flameborn skeletons (i think that's their name) these drop better loot then the previous skeletons and from there just ignore the boss and kill everything else. Reasoning for it it's all infinite respawns and they are top level mobs that drops weapons quite frequently, i just stayed there and killed until it popped for me.

I can verify that you do not have to equip or even have one of each in your inventory at the same time, but I believe the achievement is a bit more in depth than the last review. Mine popped at level 10, after picking up my first bastard sword, so I believe you have to have one of each WEAPON, not weapon TYPE. The ones I know of include:
dagger, handaxe, shortsword, longsword, scimitar, bastard sword, quarterstaff, mace, khopesh, battleaxe, warhammer, heavy pick, hand crossbow, crossbow, shortbow, longbow, greatbow, throwing dagger, throwing hammer, shuriken, throwing dwarven axe.

I may have missed some in the list, so please feel free to add to it in the comments. As long as you pick up everything you come across, you should be able to get this without buying any weapons, but I was grinding to 10 after the end of the game when I got my first bastard sword.

I have a question, at the time you got this achievement, were you a warrior?

I've came across a lot of weapons as a wizard, beaten the game and reached max level, but hasn't unlocked. I've been asking the same question in the other solution to see as well. But thought It sort of make sense, since it is called "Man at Arms" as the warrior is a male character and usually warriors can use any weapon, but just curious if it is class restricted.

I was a female rogue at the time. If you have the cash, while you're wandering around picking up everything, you can try buying the more exotic weapons, just to make sure. I didn't find my first bastard sword until I was almost 10. I don't remember seeing many bastard swords, heavy picks, and throwing axes. If you see them in the store, try buying one.

Anytime in battle look for dropped weapons and search all chests you come across.(I didnt buy a single weapon). Anything you see pick it up. Feel free to sell them as long as you have held every item this will pop. I got mine to pop somewhere around level 7 on a human warrior before I reached the end of the game.

This trophy can be a bit confusing. By weapon types, they don't mean the kind of weapon it is (Bow, 1-Handed Blade, etc.) It refers to the actual name of the weapon like "Scimitar" and "Elven Greatbow." You DO NOT need to have them all in your inventory at the same time; you just need to have picked them up at some point. I had this unlock as I was grinding treasure and experience for level 10 after completing the game. Weapon drops are randomized, but follow the formula "X Weapon Type of Y." Such as "Ethereal Longbow of Velocity" and "Unholy Elven Short Sword of Destruction +2." The modifiers add different effects, like "Blazing" adds fire damage and "of the Delicate" gives the weapon a chance to inflict Weaken. You don't need to worry about those modifiers, just the basic weapon type. If you're confused, you can press while highlighting the item in your inventory for "Convert to Gold" and it will list the weapon type with no modifiers. (I would recommend cancelling out of this menu afterwards because you can earn more gold by selling the weapon to a shop.) You can write down everything you've collected if it worries you, but you should get everything eventually. If you don't have it by the time you've collected 100,000 gold, you can buy weapons from the shops, as you will likely have no need for the money at this point. There is a list of all the weapon types here, thanks to user Ellusion no at TrueAchievements:

If you look closely at your weapons tab in the inventory, all weapons have their own little blurry circular images. A weapon called [Effect] + [Name/Type] + [Effect or Modifier] share the same weapon icon with [Effect] + [Name/Type] so a Fiery Dagger +1 is the same as a Deadly Dagger.
