Introduction

This guide goes over the weapons Freudia can get in her campaign, some of the functions about them aren't immediately obvious and the bosses they are effective against.

Freudenstachel

This is Freudia's starting weapon. If you've already played the first game you should be familiar with this weapon. Freudenstachel produces a rapid fire stream of iciciles in an oscillating pattern at a very fast rate. Like the first game the weapon also has exceptionally good energy usage so you're unlikely to ever run out of energy. If you do run out of energy will still be able to use Freudenstachel but will lose the rapid fire ability and you can only shoot one at a time.

Freudenstachel can also be used while sliding. It is the only weapon in the game with this property.

In the final boss battle Freudenstachel has infinite energy.

Eisschwert

Freudia's first main weapon is acquired by defeating Grolla. It creates a short ranged projectile in front of Freudia.

This weapon actually freezes enemies instead of killing them and lets you use them as platforms, or walk past them. You can't use this weapon to skip midbosses though, WOMI thought of that.

This weapon can be charged to hit the whole screen for significantly higher energy consumption.

Eislanze

Eislanze is gotten by defeating The Metal Hero. This weapon shoots a fairly large laser that rebounds off walls like Gemini Laser from Mega Man 3.

This weapon can be charged to shoot five lasers in different directions. I don't know why you would ever want to do that but hey you have the option if you want.

Kopiekreisel

Kopiekreisel is got from defeating Traure. This weapon creates two spinning ice clones to both sides of Freudia. Kopiekreisel inflicts piercing damage to enemies with shields and typically does additional damage when using this property.

Schneekristal

Schneekristal is the games obligatory shield weapon and is got from defeating Schwer-Muta.

This shield creates an exploding effect once in contact with an enemy or any sort of projectile. While this explosion is happening you cannot create another Schneekristal so you can't spam this weapon for easy blocks.

Like Geisterwand from the previous game, you can change to other weapons while using this shield.

Frostfackle

Frostfackle is aquired from defeating Zorne. Using this weapon has Freudia thrown of chunk of ice straight forward, this doesn't do much.

But if the ice hits the ground it creates a wave of ice that moves forward. You can have two instances of this weapon running at once. Frostfackle does significant damage to minibossess susceptible to it. Bosses weak to this weapon are weak to the ice trail, not the ice block.

Frostfackle can climb stairs but it can't climb up more sheer heights.

Frostklinge

Frostklinge is aquired from Dolis/Doris is an aimable weapon like Shadow Blade from Mega Man 3 however it does not return to Freudia and instead hangs in the air for a moment.

After a few seconds in the air it will fall to the ground and roll along the floor and walls like Wheel Cutter from Mega Man 10, though RKSF originally came out before Mega Man 10 go figure.

Freudenzwinger

The weapon gotten from Liebea, Freudenzwinger may look familiar to you if you played the first game as being part of Freudia's attack pattern from it. This creates a giant area of damage to enemies as you can see above that shreds most mini-bosses and pierces most enemy shields.

Freudenswinger has significantly high energy consumption and also has the strange property where you cannot use it while stunned. If you are hit or stunned by an earthquake while using the move it is also immediately ended prematurely. You also cannot start the attack while in mercy invinicbility after previously taking a hit.

Weißteufel

Weißteufel is acquired from Sichte and lets you slow down time which should be pretty straight forward. Being a time slowing weapon this consumes a fairly high amount of weapon energy.

In addition while the time slow is in effect Freudia shoots emerald shots instead of Freudenstachels. These emerald shots don't require any additional weapon energy. Bosses weak to this weapon are weak to the emerald shots, not the time slow itself.

Strudel

Got from a secret passage in Liebea's stage by sinking in snow and heading left Strudel is this game equivalent of Beat and a straight up reskin of the Lilli special weapon from the first game. Unlike Lilli however Strudel cannot damage ANY bosses.

Strudel's Hund & Strudel's Flügel

These two items aren't weapons but instead mobility tools you get for defeating certain bosses.

This is Rush Coil. I'd like to assume you know how to use this, but if you don't you jump on the ice Rush sculpture to jump high. You get this from Schwer-Muta.

Likewise this is Rush Jet, you jump on this charged Shotgun Ice Chill Penguin sculpture to skip the games platforming challenges by flying over them and can steer up and down. You get this from defeating Luste.

When using either of these Freudenstachel is replaced with a generic attack.

Notes

Boss

It's possible to get The Metal Hero in a stun lock.

Fun fact, she used to be weak to Kopiekreisel and you had to hit her while blocking. It sucked.

You need to hit the one with the eyepatch.

Kopiekreisel is a one hit KO. You can use Strudel's Hund to get high enough to hit him at the start of the fight.

You can literally just camp behind the boss and toss Frostklinges instead if you want.

The short ranged nature of Frostklinge might make Freudenstachel more effective.

The short ranged nature of Kopiekreisel might make Freudenstachel more effective.

It's the best megaman-like game for me! I wish Erkaes company create more sequels or spin-offs...
FUN FACT: ERKAES can be read as "RKS" so its literally "Rosenkreutzstilete"

Thanks, after 6 hours of trying hard, I finally beat it. Iris stage 1 and 2 kinda drive me nuts though, never feel so much anger when playing a game, but still, I feel this game is overall a bit easier than the previous game because contact damage seems to be lowered.

In case some people don't know who to start with, Sichte Meister, Luste Teuber, Schwer-Muta Casasola Merkle, and Liebea Palesch can be considered the first boss as their attack patterns are easier to learn than the other 4.

You may not want to use Frostfackle for boss rush because you don't receive any ammo replenishment after beating boss rush and you go straight into Iris Boss fight.

And for the final stage boss fight, Freudenstachel is indeed the best weapon for me. Just keep dodging while finding opportunity to attack, you can eventually wear them down. It takes some time, but it's doable.
