Introduction
Welcome Horseman,

this short guide will explain how to level up all the weapons in the shortest time possible, while at the same time gain a huge amount of souls as well.


On Apocalypse difficulty it takes about 15-20 minutes to level up each weapon and get around 20000-30000 souls.

This guide was written due to the BATTLE HARDENED achievement, which requires the player to max out all weapons and buy all moves.
Location
The zone in the game is called Ashlands.

In this area is a big hole with water at the bottom in which you can jump into and climb out of.

Suggested Items For Farming
ABYSSAL ARMOR

There will be a lot of enemies which may do a lot of damage if you aren't careful, so best to do this farming technique with the best armor in the game.

WAR'S LEGENDARY ENHANCEMENT

Provides drastic XP bonus for weapons which will speed up the whole leveling process.
Spawning The Horsemen
Every time you jump into the hole with water and climb back up, the game will spawn 2 - 4 horsemen demons in the desert area. So the point is to keep jumping in and climbing out in order to spawn a lot of horsemen demons. Repeat this process as much as you want or as much as your PC can handle.

I personally jump around 20 times so that I have around 50 horsemen demons spawned.

Pulling The Horsemen
Once you think you have enough of the horsemen spawned, it is time to aggro them. Get on your horse and shoot at them with the gun so you can aggro them all.

Leading The Horsemen To The Cave
Once you aggroed all the horsemen, there is a small cave with a chest which is the perfect location to level up your weapons in a safe way. Lead them there and jump onto the ledge inside.

Leveling Up The Tremor Gauntlets
Once you lead the horsemen to the cave, jump onto the ledge inside so that you're out of their reach. When they're all grouped up inside and you're standing on the edge of the platform, start pounding the ground with the [DODGE + ATTACK] move.

The [DODGE + ATTACK] move is the best since it does not do a lot of damage, but it has a large area of effect, allowing you to build up a huge combo. The weapons level up based on how many hits you do, not how much damage you do, so this is the best attack to use.

Leveling Up The Scythe
Leveling the Scythe requires you to be in the middle of the horsemen demons, which is where the Abyssal Armor is great due to its protection.

Once all the horsemen demons are grouped up inside the cave, keep spamming JUMP + ATTACK. It is an attack that is highly mobile with a huge area of effect. It will keep you mobile in order to avoid taking damage or getting killed.

Leveling Up The Chaoseater
For the Chaoseater, you do not need to lead the horsemen into the cave. All you have to do is spawn the horsemen, aggro them and keep slaying them from your horse.

Another way to level up the Chaoseater is by obtaining the Armageddon Blade, which will automatically level up your sword to max level.
Final Words
And that's pretty much it. Simple, fast and highly efficient than farming the spiders. On APOCALYPSE difficulty it takes about 15-20 minutes for each weapon to level up to max, with 30000 souls every 30 minutes.



Keep in mind that the achievement only unlocks when you get the Armageddon blade!

Hopefully this guide helps anyone wanting the fastest way to level up weapons or obtain a large amount of souls in a very short time.

Good luck, Horseman!

If you dont have Abyssal Armoy, lure them into the cave and then jump up on to the ledge, they cant hit you but you can still hit them effectively enough with either the Scythe or Tremor Gauntlet.

You can very easily level up Chaoseater with just some good horse riding and understanding how the riders function, after I max out I farm so much more with riding Ruin, even Stoneskin helps considerably - and is the cheapest Wrath ability to max out.

Thank you so much for showing me this exploit, I did it so many times that I started to see it stutter and there were a lot.

Thanks for the guide! You dont need to level up the chaoseater, just get the the part when you get the armageddon blade, it will max it out.

If for some reason you need more health while grinding, try to equip the Bloodthirst Enhancement on the weapon you do not use.

This was a great help. I'd have never bothered to grind this out otherwise.
