i like tamingsari, in my place there is a "kujang" which is considered as a legendary weapon
Oh that's interesting! Where are you from?
@@LetsTalkMythology Philippines and my dream is to go to Japan someday
Most cultures: fantasy-esque swords or spears with impressive powers
Hinduism: *m i s s l e u f o*
It's wtf for me of why they have alien shit.
Indian myths are crazy because they die, means they are reborn again which gives them more room for growth.
In theory the more you kill them, the stronger they get on the long run.
Ya absolutely
@@fernosbonos5394 tbh idk i dont thinks its meant to be a ufo look up sudarshan chakra. it looks more like that
@@OnikaTrishul if it's shaped like that then it is what is what it is.
You missed the opportunity to put in the coolest weapon in Vietnamese mythology: the automatic crossbow of An Dương Vương. This thing is said to be made from a claw of a giant turtle god and has the ability to fire thousands of arrows with each shot and can erase an army in seconds. Not too powerful compared to others, but super cool
It is indeed a very cool weapon!
How the hell do you pronounce that f***ing name?
@@zacheryschmidt2611 well I can’t tell you by typing tho, but you can use Vietnamese keyboard to type it into google, the mark on the o and u will appear if you type w
The very first automatic weapon, lol.
Guess we've been ripping off some poor vietnamese sap (not familiar with Vietnamese myths or history, at all) for the past 3 centuries.
@@Ohimeshinso true dat mate
Sword kladanets (sword treasurer) From Russian mythology. It could change its size, be controlled by the power of thought, provide invincibility, impose magic, had the powers of the dead world and so on. It was owned by the giant Svyatogor, Ilya Muromets, Dobrynya Nikitych and others.
In short, the cheater sword.
That's so interesting!
That is pretty epic.
So how did it pass from one owner to the next? Not being a smartass, if it had power over death, magic, and gave invincibility, how and why would or could anyone lose it or give it away?
POV: Waiting for your country's weapon
No US weapon though.
@@w1ndgeneral226 The USA's is the most Epic of all. As powerful as any listed, but its actually real.
The Nuclear Bomb.
Eh, not all wrong.
@@darkhobo Russia: yeah right 😏
Well,I'm even more savage😅I just skipped through the video trying to see all Hindu weapons😂😂
Fun fact: you're waiting for some noble phantasm to see in this list
U got me
I was wondering when I'd see a Fate comment lol.
Theres, well exaclibur, gae bolg in the other mentions and caladbolg, what else did i miss? I guess the sword in the stone was mentioned, so caliburn? The excalibur was the sword of the lake, caliburn was the sword of the stone, some say its the same, some say its not, caliburn is saber lily's noble phantasm and excalibur.. well yes, caladbolg was a stolen noble phantasm, that archer stole from.. i don't know, he used it as an arrow, im pretty sure it was in UBW and archer shot it and destroyed one of berserker's life, and gae bolg is well the weapon of lancer cu chulain
@@TrapConnoisseur. well Excalibur is the stone sword while the caliburn i supposes to be the selection sword according to altoria Lily's bond lines
@@scamnet5852 no in mythology caliburn is the sword of the stone and excalibur is the sword of the lake
I'm a consultant for history and archeology channels on Mesoamerica (Aztec, Maya, etc): since none came up, I figured I'd mention some weapons from Mesoamerican mythology (There's admittedly not a lot, so I'm not too bothered by their exclusion here). The first one is the White ball from the Maya underworld of Xibalba in the Popol Vuh: This is used in a ball game the Death gods and the Maya Hero twins play, but is secretly/contains/is made from (i'm a little unclear on the symbolism, the Popol vuh isn't my strong suit) a flint knife the gods intend to use to kill the twins. What's more interesting/that I can talk about more in depth, though, is XIuhcoatl, the fire/lighting serpent wielded by the Aztec war god Huitzilopochtli as a weapon:
In the myth of Huitzilopochtli's birth at Coatepec mountain, Coatlicue (a mother-earth diety, also with attributes of monstrous star goddess in Aztez mythology) is impregnated by a ball of feathers while sweeping, and conceives Huitzilopochtli. This angers her existing children, the goddess Coyolxauhqui and the gods known as the Centzon Huitznahuas ("Centzon" litterally meaning 400). Huitzilopochtli is born fully armed and armored (like Athena) and defends Coatlicue, killing them, using Xiuhcoatl in particular (at least in the translation I am looking at, others are vaguer here) to pierce/strike Coatlicue, and then he beheads her, her body falling down the mountain and breaking apart. The myth is usually interpreted as being an allegory for the sun (Huitzilopochtli)'s rise during the day over the moon (Coyolxauhqui) and stars (the Centzon Huitznahuas), though some researchers disagree with that connotation.
What's not totally clear from the text is what sort of weapon Xiuhcoatl is. It's a serpent, but obviously a snake isn't a weapon. The line where it is mentioned then has Coyolxauhqui being injured and beheaded, the beheading suggesting a bladed weapon (and indeed, the Florentine Codex has a plate showing Huitzlipotchli wielding a blue Macuahuitl, the blue color is important but i'll get back to that), but even in the translation where it says Coyolxauhqui was struck by Xiuhcoatl, It doesn't say she was beheaded by it (though it may, sadly i'm not a linguistic expert on Nahuatl), and the Florentine Codex ALSO has another plate showing Huitzilopochtli with a snake in his hand, separate from the Macuahuitl (it is worth noting that the text says XIuhcoatl is lit on fire by somebody named Tochancalqui, I wonder if "lighting it" is a metaphor for turning it into a weapon or a macuahuitl, as fire is at times associated with warfare, but that's my speculation), where it most resembles a ceremonial staff, many variations of which different gods hold. Most sources, however, seem to interpret Xiuhcoatl as an Atlatl, a projectile weapon which is essentially a stick shaped cradle for a short spear or large dart, which then launches the projectile with extra power when tossed: While Atlatl were replaced by bows in Eurasia, in the Americas people continued to use both, with the Atlatl actually being seen as the more refined weapon by the Aztec. The text of the Florentine Codex even mentions Huitzlipotchli with a blue Atlatl, named Xinatlatl/Xiuhahtlatl, and some sources seem to think it and Xiuhcoatl are one in the same.
The "Xiuh" in both of their names most often means Turquoise, both the color and especially the stone, which was highly revered (moreso then gold) and associated with fire (the Aztec fire god was known as Xiuhtecuhtli, and is also sometimes seen wielding Xiuhcoatl), and indeed, as I noted, in the text of the myth, Xiuhcoatl is lit on fire. Fire Serpents/Xiuhcoatls are also sometimes depicted alongside solar disks in art, such as on the famous Aztec Sun Stone. This also ties into an association some interpret between Xiuhcoatl and the passage of time (as the Sun stone features calendrical motifs, time also ties into solar cycles, and fire drills and ritual hearths, such as in the New Fire Ceremony), with the shape of Xiuhcoatl's tail (often a sort of pointed rattlesnake rattle) also resembling some Aztec symbols for year/time.
Some have often likened the shape of the tail to the suns's rays (something XIuhcoatl itself or the "darts" it fires as an atlatl is also likened to), I believe based on the pointed arrows seen on solar disks. The connection to time and cosmology also extends into that Xiuhcoatl is often adorned with star/stellar iconography, and Karl Taube argues that then "Xiuh", beyond meaning turquoise and fire, means meteor, with the darts Xiuhcoatl fires as an atlatl being meteors or comets. Alternatively, some sources liken Xiuhcoatl's darts to lightning bolts: Xiuhcoatl is associated with the dry winter season, where bush fires can occur via lightning strikes. Taube also notes "Xiuh" can mean herb, and the pointed rattle on the end of it's tail resembles Aztec depictions of flowers or grasses/reeds, too. There's even some iconographic links tying Xiuhcoatl to butterflies (which like hummingbirds, were associated with soldiers and warfare) and especially caterpillars, with some arguing it was one as much as/alternatively to a snake!
I list a lot of "sources say" and "I think" here, because I don't like to speak aurhoratively unless I am 100% sure of a given fact or interpretation, and when it comes to iconography and symbolism, there's rarely one 100% for sure answer, since our sources on Mesoamerican culture, religion, and philsophy are scarce. Xiuhcoatl and it's symbolism is also a topic I am actively looking into.
There's probably some other weapons listed in Mesoamerican myths, but the White Knife/Ball and Xiuhcoatl-Xiuhahtlatl are the "named" ones I know of off the top of my head... All that said, If you ever want to include more Mesoamerican content in your videos, let me know, and I could maybe help out!
Thank you very much for the information. I will keep that in mind for future reference! And I would appreciate it if you could share more about any other magical/ legendary objects that were mentioned in the legends and folk-tales of Mesoamerican mythology.
Appreciate a lot dude!
Im interested in mythology, and I lack a little bit of knowledge about Aztec/Maya things. Good to learn something new.
Btw, does Chaac's axe have any name?
This was very interesting indeed! I can clearly see your passion about this. But I did notice something though, I see a lot of names ending with coatl. What does coatl mean actually?
@@kamioku3465 Coatl means snake in Nahuatl.
Whoops, noticed a mistake: I said Huitzilopochtli struck Coatlicue with Xiuhcoatl, I meant to say he struck Coyolxauhqui
Technically the Sheath of Excalibur is what makes you nearly invincible, but they're a package deal so it's cool
Imagine only having the Sword or the Scabbard XD
Excalibur: grants invincibility
No, the scabbard prevents you from losing blood no matter how greivous your wounds. It's not the sword, and it's not invincibility, as poison etc can still be a problem
Wow. Didn't know 4kids censorship existed back then. LOL
I am the bone of my sword
I guess people don't die with it if they are killed
Excalibur's scabbard has a name: Avalon.
@@Animebryan2 scabbard’s name is from Type-Moon’s adaptation of the story. However, it was present in the original story and was explicitly stated to be what made Arthur invincible (NOT Excalibur, as the video claims)
Some of this weapons are in Fate Stay Night and Fate Grand Order. Love the anime and the mythos within it.
Funny how a good portion of all these weapons are all stored/created in Unlimited Blade Works and the Gate of Babylon
@@redarrow2036 True. Emiya and Goldyking got it all.
@@redarrow2036 Gilgamesh owned everything that had and will be created. He theoterically have modern arms in his Gate of a Babylon. The only Noble Phantasm he doesn't have are anecdote of a hero obtain from their adventure, hardship, or training like Heracles' Twelve Lives, Sasaki kojiro's Reverse Swallow Reversal, Hassans' Zabaniyas, Achilles' Domeus Kometes and a lot more.
@@griffionwyvrus9063
Correction: He owns everything that's was made by humanity, in the past, present of future. That's why he praised and converted Excalibur, despite made for humanity, but not from humanity.
Speaking of Diarmuid's spears, he also possessed two swords gifted to him by his foster father Aengus Óg and were made by Manannan Mac Lir, called Moralltach and Beagalltach. There's numerous other Irish Weapons such as An Claiomh Solais, Luin Celtchair, Gae Bolg, Gae Assail, Lugh's Spear, and lots more I can't think of off the top of my head.
They didn't help him when his master forced him to impale himself
@@SergioBocanegra I'm not as well versed in Irish Mythology as I'd like to be so I have to ask, what particular myth is this from?
@@deadbylevel1 the fate myth
@@deadbylevel1 he's talking bout an anime pay no heed to him
@@SergioBocanegra we talking bout real life not anime .
Staff of the Monkey King has to be my favorite! When I saw this video I checked the time stamps to make sure it was in here, one of my favorite weapons. If you do another of these (please do I love it!) you could cover Nezha’s flame-tipped spear also from JTTW
Glad to hear that you loved it! And I will try my best!
JTTW makes me mad some times cuz TRIPIKATA JUST TRUST MONKEY KING HE SAVED U LIKE 80 TIMES
Ruyi jingu bang is nice weapon
Yeah the magickal staff of *seiten taisei(qitian dasheng)* a.k.a *son goku* a.k.a *jin mori*
When You realise that your world works like an RPG with Legendary weapons ready to be found on an epic quest
This is more like an item, but it can work as a weapon: the *Flute of Akuanduba,* of the Arara indigenous (Brazil).
In the myths, this is an instrument capable of calming down anyone and anything (anywhere and at any given time), responsible for keeping the world in a perfect harmony, and capable of destroying the whole human race if it gets too ... chaotic out of hand and start creating havoc, lol.
Bruh, why did i read it as "Ara ara". I think I watch too much anime.
norse mythology: a hammer of doom that can shoot lightning and vaporize everything and an aimbot spear
China: Sticc
One issue i noticed was that ryu jingu bang (the monkey kings staff) doesn't get heavier it is the same weight no matter the size
Wukong keeping it behind his ear was basically the myths way of showing how crazy strong he was
The Narayanastra (Sanskrit: नारायणास्त्र, romanized: nārāyaṇāstra) in Indian mythology is the personal weapon of Lord Vishnu in his Narayana form. This astra ("weapon" in Sanskrit) fires a volley of millions of deadly missiles simultaneously, the intensity of which rises in proportion to the resistance of the target.[1] The only way to defend against the Narayanastra is therefore to show total submission before the missiles hit, which would cause them to stop and spare the target. It is one of the six 'Mantramukta' weapons that could not be resisted.[2] It was also said that it could be used only once in a war; if one tried to use it twice, it would devour the user's own army.[3]
Gae Bulg, A spear that if thrown under certain conditions can pierce through a man and open up barbs inside the body making it the only way to remove it is cutting away the flesh that it's attached to. Diarmuid also had two other swords that was equally if not more powerful than his other two spears
I learned the name of the swords and spears that is owned by Diarmuid from the Fate Franchise. The spears are called Gáe Buidhe and Gae Dearg and the swords are called Moralltach and Beagelltach.
Gay bulge

Its more like a disk of divine light. Source: Im a Hindu
Also sun wukong himself defeated over 1,000 gods by himself and the staff is the only weapon capable of killing a god in chinese mythology while The Jade Emperor is the only person in chinese mythology who can actually kill a god without a weapon.
👌👌
@@LetsTalkMythology If the monkey king is that powerful and the jade emperor is far stronger than him then imagine how strong is the jade emperor
@@oblivion6891 It's not really like that.
@@UltraStarWarsFanatic WDYM plz explain
@@oblivion6891 No one can deny that the monkey king has amazing powers, but to put him on a pedestal above the rest of the heavens is missing the point. He uses his might and cleverness to make mischief for the gods, and is very arrogant, but in the end he is humbled by the Buddha. He is not a figure of such great consequence in the grand scheme of things.
As for the Jade Emperor, he is also different from all-powerful god kings like Zeus or Odin. He occupies an esteemed station, but that shouldn't be taken to mean he has greater power over all of the heavens. Chinese mythology doesn't have such a uniform hierarchy, it's a confluence of many many stories and traditions... for example, there were branches of Taoism where the Jade Emperor was little more than a heavenly bureaucrat, and a servant to older, even higher orders of divinity. There's always a bigger fish.
Anyone else recognized some of these weapons from Fate/stay night and FGO?
Yep, especially diarmuid's
Yes. But i was expecting gae bolg to be here as well
@@boreasthehero It's in the honorable mentions
Yeah
Lots of them
Agni Gandiva
Excalibur
Karna doesn't have Vijya though
I'm still waiting for his Archer version release
This makes me wanna go on a Adventure and gather these weapons.
Seriously yes! Although these are legendary weapons, if I were to find the shield King Leonidas used in the battle of Thermopylae, that would satisfy me to the fullest
Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy), is that you?
This makes me want Soul Calibur 7
Regarding the excalibur bit there's another sword called caliburn which is the sword in the stone while excalibur was given by the lady of the lake
Brahmastra:- once used,it will end the existence of every thing include space and time.... literally the most powerful wepon in Hinduism

Also, the Thuan Thien is more akin to Excalibur in the myths. Its wielder is said to be able to win any battle, no matter how dire. And according to the myth, Thuan Thien is a rather short, thin sword without much of a blade, so it might be an estoc, because in the myths its blade was caught in a fishing net, and its hilt was found atop a tree.
Actually shiva's Trident much different from from Posiden's . I suppose its can't even be called a weapon properly as it is a extension of shiva himself and and channels his power which is obviously destruction as you can tell by the name god of destruction and as I have mentioned it is not a real weapon but shiva's power condensed in a Trident shape so is can also Shapeshift as shiva can easily control his own Trident to make it into sword of any other object and he can also increase its size well size manipulation is not that big of a feat as shiva and most of gods can increase and decrease their and other objects size as a whole easily
Fool get some knowledge
Trident or trishul was made by vishwakarma from the sun particles just like other divine weapons like chakra of vishnu
And certain king from babylonia just throwing some of this like nothing
Edit: I didn’t expect to see Taming sari here. Well done
Very interesting !!
Great video
Also let's be honest, many of us knew some of these weapons thanks to Fate series (?)
I would like it if you made more videos of weapons from myth and legend.
Maui's fish hook, made from the bones of his ancestors, he used along with his magic lasso made from his mother's hair, to fish the islands and lasso the sun.
hindu mythology has some amazing and creative weapons. hell, one of them is a literal UFO
Yeah, Hindu mythology is quite overpowered, both the characters and the weapons.
That was epic weapons of history
This video was bound to bring about the fate nerds and im all in for it

But he pronounces certain gods wrong🤣🤣
Thank you!
I Will try to improve next time :D

Huitzilopochtli, the Hummingbird Magician, lord of war and god of the sun of the Aztec/Mexica mythology can also use the Thunderbolt as his weapon, and it was called simply by the name "Huitzilopochtli's Coatl" (Coatl means serpent, so, for Mexicas, thunderbolts were like serpents//dragons being thrown by Huitzilopochtli). However, while Zeus's thunderbolt was associated with thunderstorms, The Coatl was associated with the volcanic thunderbolts that strike the earth at the moment of a volcanic eruption, born from the ash clouds.
In Vietnam myth, there is a crossbow called the Divine Crossbow, which could rain down a hundred arrow with a single trigger and presumed to have unlimited ammo. The weapon was given to An Duong Vuong by Vietnam's most infamous weapon dealer

But as always a very good, interesting and knowledgeable video.
Thank you so much 🙏
And looking forward for your usual useful info!
oh you missed one legendary hindu weapon used by Krishna: the sudarshan chakra, An divine attack type weapon
Agneyastra - originated or created by God "Agni" and also used by Arjun.
It can ignite extremely strong fire in a range of radius of 100s of miles .
Emitted inextinguishable flames.
Excalibur didn’t grant invincibility; that power was bestowed to its unnamed scabbard, as it had the ability to prevent its owner’s wounds from bleeding when it was carried with them. Is was, however, an excellent sword that blinded the enemy when drawn and was extremely sharp, being able to cut through iron, steel, and wood.
I thought the sheath was named Avalon, or was just the name for the kingdom of fairies?
@@Yggdrasil09 No, the scabbard is unnamed in the original story; Type Moon added a name for it later on.
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
@@Yggdrasil09 Avalon is the name of the mystical isle that Merlin and Morgan learned how to use their magic. It was also where Arthur himself was laid to rest after his death and was the ancient name for Great Britain.

Fate Fans, where you at?
Here!
Asi (Sanskrit: असि, romanized: Asi) appears as a personification of the first weapon ever created according to Hindu epics. 'Asi' means 'sword'. A legend concerning Asi appears in the Shanti Parva book of the Mahabharata.[1] In Rigvedic Sanskrit Asi is still used as a term for a kind of sacrificial dagger or knife.[2]
Legend
Edit
Out of curiosity Nakula, the fourth son of Pandu and the master of swordsmanship questioned the Kuru grandsire Bhishma on his arrow death bed as to which was the best weapon in all kinds of fighting. In his own personal views Nakula thought the sword to be the most superior since even on having lost one's bow, horse and the chariot, a skillful swordsman could still defend himself against the mace and spear wielders. Nakula further queried the grandsire about the origin and purpose of the Khadga as well as about its first acharya ("teacher, preceptor").
Gladdened by these intelligent queries by Nakula, Bhishma related to him the complete Itihasa (Sanskrit term for 'History') of the Khadga or "divine sword" starting from its creation down to the present.
Creation of Asi
Edit
The devas approached Brahma, the creator of the universe, in ancient time and protested against the unjust rule and evil doings of the demons (danavas). Hearing the protest from the deities, Brahma collected sacrificial objects and proceeded to perform a grand sacrifice with the foremost of the rishis and devas at the side of Himalaya.
During the course of the sacrifice, a dreadful creature sprang from the midst of the sacrificial fires scattering flames all around. It was as though a moon had arisen in the midst of the stars. He was coloured like a deep-blue lotus. His teeth were sharp and terrible, stomach lean and skinny and stature very tall and slim. He was of exceeding energy and power. Simultaneously the earth started shaking, there were turmoils in the oceans, the forceful winds started howling all around, the trees started falling and being torn apart and the meteors started blazing through the skies, Brahma declared
The 'being' I have conceived is Asi. It shall effect the destruction of the enemies of the gods and restore the Dharma
Upon this, the creature assumed the form of a blazing sharp-edged sword, glowing like flames. This sword was the primordial weapon created by the deities for the destruction of evil. The name of the sword was Asi, the personification and the primary energy behind all weapons ever created. As per Bhishma, the constellation under which the sword was born is Krittika, Agni is its deity, Rohini is its Gotra, Rudra is its high preceptor and whoever holds this weapon obtains sure victory and have absolute power over any weapon ever created since asi is the primordial source of energy behind all weapons.[1]
mythology is just a Fate Reference

Imagine having a dispute and whipping out a legit UFO lol
It was specifically the sheath of Excalibur that made it's holder's armor unbreakable. Arthur and Merlin have a conversation about which of the two one should prefer.
Alright man take my subscribe while I take your offering of mythological weapons. I’ll be sure to cite you after using them in my stories

Ang espada nang Panday (Blacksmith sword) in PH🇵🇭 is one of powerful weapon here in PH mythology. The Dagger or Balaraw can cut through virtually any substance without resistance. At times of need it can expand to a full fledged sword. It hums when danger threatens. It mades from a metal of a falling meteor.
Lol

Powers: It was held in one interpretation to be a manifestation of Indra’s lightning, which is supported by its depictions as a golden projectile and its appearance unbefitting of a conventional weapon.
Caladbolg: The rainbow sword
Powers: A high-power and wide-range attack that makes even destruction of the landscape possible.
Diarmuid Spears- Gáe Dearg: Crimson Rose of Exorcism and Gáe Buidhe: Yellow Rose of Mortality
Powers: Gáe Dearg is a demonic scarlet spear two meter long that renders magical enhancements and projections useless by severing all ties with magical energy and Gáe Buidhe is a cursed spear 1.4 meters long that inflicts wounds that cannot be healed naturally or with magecraft.
Gáe Bolg: Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death
Powers: The cursed spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, to make it so the cause of the "lance being thrust" comes from the effect of the "opponent's heart being pierced" by it.
Gram: Dawn of Ruins
Powers: said to be the strongest demonic sword that can only be equaled to the strongest holy sword Excalibur, so it possesses the special characteristic of dragon slayer.

Why do these sound like the descriptions they have in fate
A fate fan
@@crawlingboy They are from the Fate Franchise though I didn't include some because they are unnamed in the original myth where they originated; examples are Atalanta's bow (Tauropolos: Bow of Heavens), Astolfo and Bradamante's lance (Trap of Argalia: Down with a Touch!), Achilles' spear (Diatrekhōn Astēr Lonkhē/Meteor Spear; Spear-tip of the Star Traversing the Skies) and Eric Bloodaxe's axe (Half-dead Blood Axe: Blood-sipping Bestial Axe)
@@griffionwyvrus9063 i mean i could tell cause when I saw rainbow sword i knew it was fate as a fgo man
@@crawlingboy Tbh i think fate franchise has the best depiction of legendary weapon in all media
Just a random request but you could go over magical trinkets/tools or even armors next
I actually thought about that! Thank you :)

This will be a good reference...

Ayyy...Malaysian weapon in this list
Thanks
Here to say there is little misinformation regarding 'Pashupatastra' it is most powerful wepon in hinduism then comes 'Narayanastra' and then comes ' Bhramastra'.
There is no order
The staff of Sun was also said to be one of the pillars or a measuring ruler of the Dragon Palace
There's an error at the end of the video. Gram was not used by Siegfried, but Sigurd. Siegfried's sword was called Balmung. But well, these two names are considered to be of the same origin so it's not hard to mix them up.
(Also 4* Berserker wife > 5* Lancer wife)
FromSoftware Devs: These weapon be looking real good for our next game.
I cant be the only one that thinks the Narayanastra is basically a UFO that somebody saw and put into the hindu epic.
There is a Hindu temple where it is carved it is shown way bigger than elephants and it really looks like a UFO
And the temple is 1500 year old.
The Norseman Caelan Erikson wields the Hell-Forged Spear & Glacius Axe & Trinity Shield while trying to procure Divine/Unholy weapons/Relics before The Fallen can tip the scales to Darkness
Huh, don't expected a weapon of Vietnam origin to be here. Nice!
Another thunderbolt user is the god indra the god of heaven/thunder anyway great vid
POV: You've read/play Fate and you know about half of these
It feels weird that carnwennan is given more attention than gae bulg and gram
You forgot the holly hand grenade
a shame that Gungnir was not on the list...
its the spear of Oden that cannot miss its target no matter the skill or strenght of the wielder
It is on the list though. Please check 4:22 :)
@@inalaara lol i didnt see it bc it said germanic myth lmao
@@waryeer2553 no worries, friend! Worst comes to it your comment put an extra spotlight on Gungnir ^^ have a great day
I think Odin's spear should've been on here, it's incredibly powerful as well as a very important and famous part of Norse mythology
...? It was. Gungir was Odin's spear unless he had a second one.
Personally more surprised Brionac wasn't mentioned given how often it pops up in things like games/books/etc nowadays and is generally affiliated with Lugh. Hell first time i saw it though was in a mmo game called Mabinogi where it was given the attributes to kill gods.
@@ifrit1937 woops your right I totally missed it! 😅
@@ifrit1937 they forget that it also possess the power of energy projection though...
What about the God killer, Longinus' Spear, aka Holy Lance/Spear of Destiny?
My favorite 1:42
I have a theory the likes of Excalibur Mjolnir and Poseidon's trident are made from the same forgotten metal.
Interesting theory
Forgotten metal?
@@w1ndgeneral226 same concept as lost technology.
Maybe they’re all Isu weapons
Excalibur is forged by the fairies and poseidon is a mechanical alien god.
POV: you're looking for it for your personal use
0:35 Wrong, Excalibur didn't grant invincibility, that was its scabbard that did that. The blade itself was said to be able to cut things other blades could not.
Okay, instead of the dagger, I'm surprised by the lack of at least a mention of Arthur's spear. Sure, it wasn't magical, but it was still his spear (Rhongomyniad). Also, the lack of mention of the weapons of Charlemagne or of his knights is a tad surprising, considering how often the name "Durendal" shows up in modern media.
No mention of Sword of Attila, Hauteclere, Clarent, and Laevateinn comes as no surprise. Sword of Attila's straight forward, Hauteclere was an sword belonging to Oliver (Another of Charlemagne's knights), Clarent was a sword stolen by Mordred and used to kill King Arthur, and Laevateinn (or Haevateinn) is a sword crafted by Loki.
If you mentioned the dagger and sword of king arthur, why not mention rhongomyniad or rhongomiant?
0:30 It's #Poseidon not Posaidon my friend.
❤ all your video's mate 👍.
Thanks for correcting!
@@LetsTalkMythology anytime brother and your welcome 👍.
"Thuận Thiên" is translated into English as "Heaven's Will". Pretty damn cool name for a sword.
I’m surprised the Longinus isn’t here.
yeah, I keep hearing different things about what it can do.
seriously, different versions of it have abilities such as granting full invincibility, inflicting wounds that do not heal, stripping an individual of his/her powers, oh and *altering reality itself.*
@@christopherbravo1813 wasnt one of the abilities also that its could command an indivudal by spearing the shadow, and granting immortality(which is different from full invincibility)
@@Guardian582 I don't know about "spearing someone's shadow", but I would not be surprised if there was a version of the spear that could do either one.
Fate fans: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Got a whole bunch of swords, spears, and blunt weapons, and then there's a fucking missile launching UFO
3:17 aliens confirmed 👽
There was an alien flying saucer listed lol
Have you forgotten the legendary slice of cheese?
