Lineage Piece challenges players to battle iconic anime figures, conquer escalating dungeon waves, and grind for top-tier weapons across expanding islands. Because character progression relies heavily on finding optimized armaments and refining individual fighting builds, acquiring the strongest gear requires patience, preparation, and knowing exactly which encounters drop the necessary loot.
The Solemn Lament stands out as one of the definitive endgame weapons introduced to the game. Inspired by Lee Sang, this potent armament delivers devastating damage, but securing it requires much more than a single lucky drop. Unlocking the weapon demands hunting down roaming mutated enemies, gathering parts from six distinct raid bosses, and fulfilling a multi-part mastery checklist.
This guide breaks down every step required to forge and master Solemn Lament in Lineage Piece. Below, you will find where to pick up the quest, the exact farming locations for all crafting materials, which bosses drop each gun component, and how to finish the weapon's final mastery steps.
Where to Start the Solemn Lament Quest
Your search begins by traveling to Frostborn Island. Across the island, you will encounter two primary points of interest:
- Lee Sang NPC: The central questgiver who manages the crafting process for Solemn Lament.
- Shop NPC: A merchant offering critical components and recipes needed along the way.
Speak with the Lee Sang NPC to inspect the requirements. You must collect an assortment of rare components, souls, and pre-crafted sidearms before you can forge the weapon.
Solemn Lament Crafting Materials
To assemble Solemn Lament, you must bring the following items to Lee Sang:
- Grief for the Dead
- Lament for the Living
- Fusion Core
- Soul Weaver Butterflies
- Boss Souls
- Black Gun (assembled from three distinct parts)
- White Gun (assembled from three distinct parts)
How to Obtain Fusion Cores and Soul Weaver Butterflies
Unlike standard drops, several of these components require specific farming routes:
Purchasing Fusion Cores
You can purchase a Fusion Core directly from the Angela Shop NPC. This vendor also stocks supplemental weapon materials needed to complete the two intermediate gun recipes. Since Fusion Cores are bought directly with currency, they represent one of the most straightforward items on your checklist.
Farming Soul Weaver Butterflies
Soul Weaver Butterflies drop exclusively from enemies that spawn with the Butterfly Mutation. Whenever mobs respawn across the map, they have a chance to manifest under one of three variants:
- Standard enemies
- Demon Mutation enemies
- Butterfly Mutation enemies
Because standard mobs and Demon Mutation variants do not provide this material, focus your time on dense spawn locations where enemies refresh quickly. Additionally, you can earn Soul Weaver Butterflies by clearing dungeon runs, making dungeons an effective secondary farming method.
Black Gun Boss Drop Locations
Before assembling the Black Gun component, you must defeat three specific raid bosses to gather its numbered pieces:
- Black Gun Part 1: Dropped by the Shadow (Cid Kagenou) Boss.
- Black Gun Part 2: Dropped by the Saber Alter Boss.
- Black Gun Part 3: Dropped by the Monarch Sung Jinwoo Boss.
Once you hold all three components, you can finalize the Black Gun.
White Gun Boss Drop Locations
The companion White Gun similarly requires three separate fragments gathered across three boss encounters:
- White Gun Part 1: Dropped by the Raiden Boss.
- White Gun Part 2: Dropped by the Eisen Boss.
- White Gun Part 3: Dropped by the Miya B Boss.
Defeat each target to secure their piece, then build the complete White Gun.
Crafting Solemn Lament
Once your inventory contains the completed Black Gun, White Gun, Fusion Core, Soul Weaver Butterflies, Boss Souls, Grief for the Dead, and Lament for the Living, head back to Frostborn Island. Interact with the Lee Sang NPC to turn in the components and receive Solemn Lament.
How to Complete Solemn Lament Mastery
Forging Solemn Lament is only the first phase; unlocking its maximum combat potential requires finishing its weapon mastery path.
Mastery Kill Farming
To accumulate weapon mastery kills efficiently, farm the Deku Boss. Repeatedly eliminating this boss provides a consistent, rapid source of progression toward your kill objectives.
Dungeon Runs and Crafting the Coffin
You will also need to engage with the game's three-wave dungeon. Running this activity contributes to your mastery objectives while yielding the exclusive crafting materials needed for the final requirement.
To finish the mastery chain:
- Purchase the Coffin recipe from the shop.
- Collect the necessary crafting materials by completing runs of the three-wave dungeon.
- Craft the Coffin and use it to complete the final progression objective.
Once the Coffin is used, you will have completed all requirements, enabling Solemn Lament's full combat power for endgame content.
