I've hit a point where all the weapons I have have too low damage. I need to find better base parts. Decayed royal weapons are no longer as good as they used to.

Where can I get a good base weapon that is not the biggoron sword?

For the record, I know royal guard has good damage but I need something that lasts more than 3 hits

Where van I get a cap 4 horn. I heard of something late game sounding called the gloom sword, am I aiming too high? I need something with a base better than 20

Captain construct 4 drops them. If you kill enough monsters they will evolve into those. Or I heard there might be one or two on the islands leading up to the water temple.

I think gloom sword has the best attack power in the game but it also afflicts you with gloom when you hit stuff with it. It can have some niche uses but I wouldn’t make it my main weapon. Also you have to kill phantom ganon to get it so depends how you feel about that.

I killed a phantom ganon but I need more hearts to properly use the gloom stuff

One thing you can do is use the weapon while riding a lynel. Those don’t count as real hits and don’t drain hearts but they still do damage.

One approach would be to find the bargainer statues and get the Depths(?) armor set (the armor set with Gloom resistance). Additionally/alternatively use gloom resistance potion/food.
