The first major update for Weak Legacy 2 brings new gameplay features and a rare resource known as Crystal Essence. While most players are familiar with Yen as the main in-game currency, Crystal Essence stands out as a rare material used for special upgrades. Because of its low drop rate, many players struggle to find it. Here’s a full breakdown of how to get Crystal Essence and what it’s used for.
What Is Crystal Essence Used For?
At the moment, Crystal Essence has one major use — unlocking the Ascetic Blaze Fighting Style. This is a powerful ability line introduced in the same update. You can learn it from the Ascetic Blaze Trainer, who stands next to a house on the left side of the starter village. To unlock the fighting style, you must bring the trainer the following:
- Level 500+
- 500,000 Yen
- 1 Crystal Essence
- 200 Demon Horns
- Complete 1 quest
Once learned, Ascetic Blaze grants access to several fiery attacks such as:
- Flash Flame: Teleport forward and leave a burst of fire behind.
- Triple Head Spin Kick: Unleash multiple fire-enhanced kicks on your target.
It also strengthens your basic attacks with added fire damage, making it a must-have for melee users.
How to Get Crystal Essence in Weak Legacy 2
The most reliable way to obtain Crystal Essence is by taking on Dungeons, which were added in the latest update. These dungeons feature 25 intense enemy waves, and the difficulty ramps up as you progress. You’ll need to survive these waves to earn rewards, including a guaranteed Crystal Essence drop between waves 25 and 49. Before entering, make sure you meet these requirements:
- Level 250 or higher
- A team of at least three players
Dungeon Location:
- Head to the main gate of the starter village.
- Move left until you find a sloped path leading upward.
- Follow it to reach the Little Village, where the dungeon entrance is located.
Once inside, work with your team to clear the waves and claim your Crystal Essence reward.
Crystal Essence is one of the hardest items to obtain in Weak Legacy 2, but it’s also one of the most rewarding. You can earn it by completing Dungeons or redeeming limited-time codes, and it’s required to unlock the Ascetic Blaze fighting style. Keep pushing through dungeon waves, stay on top of code updates, and you’ll soon have this rare resource in your inventory.
