Acquiring melee weapons in Sulfur allows players to equip whatever suits them best, find swords inside caves, harvest cactus pieces, and loot colored chests.
Adventurers in Sulfur must pick up weapons and gear, equipping whatever fits their style. When preparing your loadout, you can set out with the Dirk and the father's shirt. As you venture through the world and enter the cave, you will find a Wakizashi, which is a sword. Equipping a melee weapon also allows you to interact with plants in the environment: striking a cactus with a hand weapon offers an opportunity to receive a piece of cactus.
Players can also obtain weapons by searching through chests found across dungeon areas. The chests follow strict rules based on their color: black chests will only ever have weapons, while red chests will only ever have armor. Meanwhile, brown chests can hold almost anything you can imagine, including oils, scrolls, weapons, and food ingredients. Opening black chests and brown chests ensures you have opportunities to find and equip weapons that match your playstyle.
