Standard Equipment

*Faust: Siegfried's standard weapon. This Zweihänder has been Siegfried's main sword ever since he first joined Schwarzwind, and was subsequently the weapon he used in the murder of his father. During the quest to claim Soul Edge and avenge the father unknowingly killed by his very hands, Faust was Siegfried's primary blade.

• 

  Faust

*Soul Edge: The ultimate evil sword. Dangerously powerful. The end of Siegfried's quest was near as he took himself to a Spanish port, where the immortal pirate, Cervantes de Leon, was said to use as a base. Once he arrived, Siegfried found the pirate already dead, and laying beside the sword of his dreams. The sword reacted to Siegfried's presence and reanimated Cervantes, as the two engaged in a legendary final battle. With Carvantes defeated, Siegfried claimed Soul Edge, and asked for infinite power. In response, the sword latched itself onto Siegfried's body, and transformed him into the terrifying Nightmare.

• 

  Soul Edge

*Requiem: A sword that has become one of Siegfried's staples, alongside Faust. This is the blade that Siegfried wields in the brief moments when he is able to escape from his Nightmare persona, using it to try to make amends for the horrible deeds he commits as the Azure Knight.

• 

  Requiem

*Soul Edge: This evil sword held in Nightmare's grotesque hand is responsible for SIegfried's tragic transformation. It is said that this blade is capable of slashing through nearly anything with one fatal stroke. After growing accustomed to having Siegfried as its host, the Soul Edge's form has changed from its slim previous design, to a Zweihänder more befitting of Siegfried's fighting style.

• 

  Soul Edge

*Soul Edge: Known by many legends, Soul Edge is a cursed sword that devours men's souls and controls the one that holds it. It is an object best regarded with fear. Currently, its power has been weakened as the result of a great many battles. Siegfried, now masquerading against his will as the Azure Knight, Nightmare, is currently seeking the shards of Soul Edge, to strengthen it back into its complete form.

• 

  Soul Edge

• Soul Edge (Growth): The form taken by the cursed sword Soul Edge after merging with a number of its fragments and recovering a great deal of its former power. While it is not yet complete, it already radiates a continuous aura of abominable evil energy.

• 

  Soul Edge (Growth)

• Soul Edge (Complete): Soul Edge, after recovering all of its fragments and becoming whole once more. Even after covering the entire world in darkness, it is safe to assume that it has not come close to reaching the limits of its terrible power. This is Nightmare's ultimate weapon, so powerful that the once-struggling Siegfried is powerless to break free of his possession, even for a moment. This is, until a fateful battle between Nightmare and Raphael Sorel...

• 

  Soul Edge (Complete)

*Requiem: Siegfried's main Zweihänder, which he has wielded ever since he's broken free of Soul Edge's possession, in order to make amends for the horrible sins he committed as Nightmare. Its thick blade is very sturdy, but it is heavy and not very well suited for clashing directly against other blades.

• 

  Requiem

• Soul Calibur: The Spirit Sword that has fought countless battles against Soul Edge behind the scenes of history, unbeknownst to man. It reacts to those of pure heart and gives its wielder the power to counter darkness. Just like the dark sword, it can change its form. It is a sword of light that fills its wielder with vitality merely by being held, but apparently, it is somewhat weak against direct impact. Once Siegfried met face-to-face with Nightmare in the Lost Cathedral, this holy blade appeared to him.

• 

  Soul Calibur

*Soul Calibur: The Spirit Sword that has fought countless battles against Soul Edge behind the scenes of history, unbeknownst to man. It reacts to those of pure heart and gives its wielder the power to counter darkness. Just like the dark sword, it can change its form. It is a sword of light that fills its wielder with vitality merely by being held, but apparently, it is somewhat weak against direct impact. After the destruction of the Lost Cathedral, the Soul Calibur has taken on this new interesting form, and gave Siegfried crystallized armor to match. This holy blade has become his main weapon in the quest to destroy Soul Edge.

• 

  Soul Calibur

*Requiem: Siegfried's main Zweihänder, which he has wielded ever since he's broken free of Soul Edge's possession, in order to make amends for the horrible sins he committed as Nightmare.

Optional Equipment

*Grimblade: A blade that consumes tremendous energy when attacking. During his quest for the invincible weapon to avenge his father with, Siegfried found himself be employed in a band of mercenary knights working under the legendary Sir Stefan. Grimblade was the weapon of Stefan, and Siegfried, in attempt to steal it for himself, had came under his employment. Eventually, Siegfried was able to kill Stefan and claim the sword for himself, but found little use for it when he realized it did not grant him power.

• 

  Grimblade

• Atlas Sword: A highly defensive blade with a strength-recovering effect. When Siegfried's quest brought him to an ancient sanctuary of Greece, Siegfried was pit against the holy woman, Sophitia. In defeating her, Siegfried though tthat he had proved himself to the gods enough to be granted the power he sought, but grew enraged when they did not respond. In his anger, he destroyed the sanctuary, and within the rubble that remained, he found the Atlas Sword.

• 

  Atlas Sword

• Flamberge: A vibrant blade that enables swift attacks. Siegfried travelled to a colosseum, which he heard was gifting powerful weapons to whoever came out victorious. Determined to win the grand prize, Siegfried was pit up against the world's strongest warriors. After a slew of tough battles, Siegfried claimed victory, and was awarded the Flamberge.

• 

  Flamberge

• 7 Branch Blade: A weapon that recovers the Weapon Gauge within a certain period of time. Siegfried found himself off the coast of Japan, at a castle called Noto Castle owned by the Noto-Murakami and Setonai pirates. Due to his immense bravery and skill, Siegfried was quickly hired by the pirates and made their castle guard. As reward for defeating the powerful Taki, Siegfried's pirate crew gave him the 7 Branch Blade.

• 

  7 Branch Blade

• Hard Steel Blade: A tremendously powerful sword. As Siegfried made his way down China's Yangtze River, he was assaulted by a man named Li-Long, who sought to steal his blade. Once Siegfried fought the sword-collector and sent him plunging into the riverbed, he picked up the Hard Steel Blade, which was littered among many stolen swords.

• 

  Hard Steel Blade

• Claymore: Enables extremely fast attacks. Arriving in Italy, Siegfried was reminded of the greedy Vercci, who hid a mountain of treasure within an impenetrable vault. Siegfried and his mercenary band had once attempted to break into the vault, but failed terribly. This time, Siegfried went alone, and found himself successful in defeating the vault's guard, Voldo. Within the treasure troves, he uncovered the Claymore.

• 

  Claymore

*Faust: The legendary sword that Siegfried used during his time as a mercenary, while he was searching for Soul Edge. It is probably this very sword that Siegfried used to spill the blood of his own father. It was once broken, but was later restored by the cursed power of the Soul Edge.

• 

  Faust

• Requiem: A Zweihänder once wielded by Siegfried when he temporarily escaped the curse of Soul Edge and tried to make amends. Its thick blade is very sturdy, but it is heavy and not very well suited for clashing directly against other blades.

• 

  Requiem

• Flamberge: The very same vibrant blade once awarded to Siegfried after participating in a tournament of warriors. Although it is likely a replica created by Soul Edge through Siegfried's memories, it holds the same power and ability to let him strike swiftly.

• 

  Flamberge

• Great Blade: An extremely large cleaver, decorated with spikes and other features give it a very threatening appearance, and likely to assist in its purpose of slaying giants. A blow from this weapon is quite powerful, but it is incredibly heavy and can wear out its wielder in just a few swings; even someone as used to wielding large blades, as Siegfried.

• 

  Great Blade

• Steel Paddle: A giant iron paddle. It has no blade and thus has no cutting ability, but it can cause plenty of destruction with its size and weight alone. As one would expect, it is very useful for defense as well.

• 

  Steel Paddle

• Glam: A black sword passed down over the ages, said to have once been used to slay a dragon in the distant past. The symbols engraved on the blade apparently have some sort of mystical effect, and it boasts cutting power much greater than it appears to have. That sharpness allows it to damage opponents even if they manage to block the blow.

• 

  Glam

• Gallery Oar: An oar from a gallery ship with its handle cut short to make it easier to carry around. Perhaps it was modified by someone who heard the legend of the Japanese swordsman who won a duel with an oar and decided to try it himself.

• 

  Gallery Oar

• Soul Calibur: The Spirit Sword that has fought countless battles against Soul Edge behind the scenes of history, unbeknownst to man. It reacts to those of pure heart and gives its wielder the power to counter darkness. Just like the dark sword, it can change its form. It is a sword of light that fills its wielder with vitality merely by being held, but apparently, it is somewhat weak against direct impact. Due to its nature, Nightmare cannot actually wield this blade, though his counterpart, Siegfried, likely could.

• 

  Soul Calibur

*Flamberge: The very same vibrant blade once awarded to Siegfried after participating in a tournament of warriors. Although it is likely a replica created by Soul Edge through Siegfried's memories, it holds the same power and ability to let him strike swiftly.

• Faust: The legendary sword that Siegfried used during his time as a mercenary, while he was searching for Soul Edge. It is probably this very sword that Siegfried used to spill the blood of his own father. It was once broken, but was later restored by the cursed power of the Soul Edge. Siegfried now carries this as a symbol of his blood-stained past, and motivates him to make a better future.

  Faust

• Gallery Oar: An oar from a gallery ship with its handle cut short to make it easier to carry around. Perhaps it was modified by someone who heard the legend of the Japanese swordsman who won a duel with an oar and decided to try it himself.

• 

  Gallery Oar

*Great Sword: A fairly standard Great Sword that Siegfried can obtain. It visually looks to be a standard longsword grown to gargantuan size, and thus allows for incredibly powerful strikes.

• 

  Great Sword

• Requiem: One of Siegfried's main Zweihänder, which he has owned ever since he's broken free of Soul Edge's possession, in order to make amends for the horrible sins he committed as Nightmare. Its thick blade is very sturdy, but it is heavy and not very well suited for clashing directly against other blades.

• 

  Requiem

• Gram: A black sword passed down over the ages, said to have once been used to slay a dragon in the distant past. The symbols engraved on the blade apparently have some sort of mystical effect, and it boasts cutting power much greater than it appears to have. That sharpness allows it to damage opponents even if they manage to block the blow.

Siegfried now carries this as a symbol of his blood-stained past, and motivates him to make a better future.

• 

  Faust

• Take Off: A large surfboard that serves as Siegfried's joke weapon. It doesn't hit hard, nor does it provide much of any advantage.

• 

  Take Off

*Soul Calibur (Hidden): A holy sword designed specifically to destroy the Soul Edge, which Siegfried wielded decades ago in his fight against Nightmare. It once again maintains the form of a large-sword to suit Siegfried's fighting style, though it has changed drastically from how it was when he previously used it. It now looks more reserved and seems to be in a sort of shell, concealing its true self.

• 

  Soul Calibur (Hidden)

• Great Sword: An extremely large tachi sword, thin compared to Siegfried's other weapons but still large nonetheless. Unlike the powerful blunt damage that Siegfried usually relies on, this Great Sword is quite adept in slashes and stabs.

•

• Flamberge: The very same vibrant blade once awarded to Siegfried after participating in a tournament of warriors. Although it is likely a replica created by Soul Edge through Siegfried's memories, it holds the same power and ability to let him strike swiftly.

• Ogre: Siegfried's joke weapon. It greatly resembles a traditional Japanese Kanabō, being a huge octagonal rod outfitted with spikes. Despite being a joke weapon, this club is no joke, and can cause extreme damage.

• 

  Ogre

• Caladbolg: A weapon extremely similar to Siegfreid's original Faust sword. Due to its blade coming to a point, it is extremely useful for spearing opponents. Its handle is wrapped in bandages to allow for Siegfried to maintain a good grip at all times, no matter what gets caught on his blade.

• 

  Caladbolg

*Large Tachi: An extremely large tachi sword, thin compared to Siegfried's other weapons but still large nonetheless. Unlike the powerful blunt damage that Siegfried usually relies on, this Large Tachi is quite adept in slashes and stabs.

• Clockwork: A peculiar blade with a clockwork design at the hilt, comprised of a set of gears.

• 

  Clockwork

*Balmung: A large sword based on the blade of dragon-slayer Siegfried in the German epic poem "Nibelungenlied". Fittingly wielded by Siegfried in the form of Nightmare, this blade causes extreme devastation to dragons and non-dragons alike.

• 

  Balmung

• Steel Paddle: A giant iron paddle. It has no blade and thus has no cutting ability, but it can cause plenty of destruction with its size and weight alone. As one would expect, it is very useful for defense as well.

•

• Chrome Blade: A sword of chrome with an upwards-angled crossguard.

• 

  Chrome Blade

• Giant Buster: A peculiarly curved sword with spiked protrusions sticking out from the bladed side. Causes brutal damage but can get caught on things easily.

• 

  Giant Buster

• Giga Claymore: Seemingly designed to be a regular claymore, though it distinctly has a skeletal design befitting of Nightmare.

• 

  Giga Claymore

• Igneous Blade: Less of a blade, and more of a useable boulder. This large igneous rock is held together with wood and leaves, and causes extreme carnage when swung.

• 

  Igneous Blade

• Blade of Torment: An extremely large tachi sword, thin compared to Siegfried's other weapons but still large nonetheless. Unlike the powerful blunt damage that Siegfried usually relies on, this Large Tachi is quite adept in slashes and stabs.

Other

Weaknesses: Both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur can be destroyed fairly easily if struck in the correct spots, and both can let out maelstroms of power too immense for Raphael's body to withstand.
