Hidden within the world of Dying Light: The Beast is a powerful easter egg weapon that pays homage to a fan-favorite secret from the original game: the legendary EXPcalibur sword. This new version, known as the EXPcalibur 2, requires players to embark on an epic scavenger hunt across the map to find eight mystical sigils. Once all eight are collected, you can perform a ritual to claim this unique weapon and its crafting blueprint. This guide will provide a complete, step-by-step walkthrough for every sigil location, the final ritual, and our verdict on the weapon itself.
The 8 Sigil Locations
Before you can wield the sword, you must first prove your worth by finding the eight sigils. It is recommended to increase your in-game gamma settings, as many of these locations can be very dark.

The Final Ritual: Claiming the EXPcalibur 2
With all eight sigils in your inventory, it’s time to head to the final location and claim your prize.
The Location
You will need to travel to the top of a very large mountain to find the EXPcalibur sword.
The Ritual and Ambush
- At the summit, you will find the sword stuck inside a large rock, just like the legend of Excalibur.
- You will see eight spots around the rock that are emitting smoke; these are the places where you must manually place the eight sigils you collected.
- BEWARE: As soon as you place the eighth and final sigil, a powerful Charger will immediately spawn to attack you. Be prepared for a fight. A good strategy is to use the environment to your advantage and dropkick the Charger off the mountain.
- After defeating the Charger, return to the sword. You must interact with it and hold the button for a few minutes to pull it from the stone. This is a test of patience, so don’t let go.
- Once the progress bar is full, you will be rewarded with both the EXPcalibur 2 weapon and its crafting blueprint.
The Weapon: Is EXPcalibur 2 Worth It?
The EXPcalibur 2 is undoubtedly a cool and powerful weapon. It deals a significant amount of damage and is very effective at killing enemies.
However, many fans of the original game will be disappointed by one key difference: the EXPcalibur 2 does not send enemies flying into the air upon a charged hit. This iconic and entertaining feature from the first game is absent here, which makes the weapon feel less unique than its predecessor. It’s a powerful sword, but it lacks the legendary knockback effect that made the original so memorable.
