OTHER Special Weapons - Found, Deals, Harassment Deals
Yes, Other Special Weapons...

Some Special Weapons are found during the game : in treasure chests in Ruins, in barrels in towns, or dropped by an enemy you defeated;

Other Special Weapons are obtained by asking the weapons Shopkeeper if he has any new and interesting DEAL (when asked to choose from Buy/Sell/Repair/Deals).  Those are weapons, like the ones found, that you can buy in only one copy.  If you don't buy them right away, they will be available later in the game in every other Weapons Shop.

And last, there are Special Weapons and Items that can be obtained by 'harrassing' the Shopkeeper.  This is a trick I tried after reading it on a Shining The Holy Ark page or Shining In The Darkness page (sorry, I don't remember, so I can't rightfully credit you for the inspiration...).  The general idea is to harrass the shopkeeper until he 'remembers' that he has something that might interest you. To do that, start talking to the Keeper by pressing button C, then immediately press button B to cancel.  After a couple of tries, he should 'remember' he has something for you and he will offer it to you.  Once offered, the item remains available in the Deals section in any shop during the rest of the game, but if you miss an offer, you can't get it in the next shop.  I have found that if nothing has been offered after 20 consecutive tries, there is nothing left to offer.  Try this in every Weapons and Items shop.  Does not work at the Smithy.

Below is a list of all those so-called 'Other Special Weapons and Items'.  Enjoy !
Special Weapons - Found or Deals
Sorry, I'm just listing the weapons and their properties, I'm not telling where they are found or where they can be purchased as Deals first.  I might add that feature in the future, but not now...  Visit my Links page to know more about Items to find.
