Which weapon to pick first in Mina the Hollower

Whisper and Vesper, Nightstar, or Blaststrike Maul? Choose your first weapon in Mina the Hollower wisely, as you won't be able to change it for some time. Although the game opens with a pleasant boat ride, the peace won't last beyond the first minute; as a kraken sweeps across the deck, thankfully missing Mina, there's every need for self-defense. If you're unsure which weapon to choose first in Mina the Hollower, we'll help you make that decision. Following the first attack by the kraken, Mina must move below deck, where she encounters a boatswain who instructs her to grab a weapon. So, to obtain your first weapon, interact with the large chest behind the boatswain. There are three options: In this picture, going left to right, you can see the Whisper and Vesper's stab attack, the Nightstar's long-range attack, the Blaststrike Maul's charged attack, and the Blaststrike Maul's light attack. Our recommendation for the best weapon to pick first in Mina the Hollower is the Nightstar. As it hits enemies up to two blocks away, it's not only easier to deal damage, but it's easier to keep out of harm's way. It's difficult enough to burrow (move underground) and pop up in the perfect spot
