In the ever-evolving world of Pilgrammed, mastering the various pilgrammed techniques is the difference between a novice explorer and a legendary warrior. As of 2026, the game has expanded significantly, introducing complex combat styles and movement abilities that require specific quests, boss kills, and guild rankings to unlock. Whether you are looking to infuse your daggers with the power of Chaos or want to master the art of the Giant Slayer with a spear, understanding the requirements for these abilities is essential for progression.
This comprehensive guide breaks down the most powerful pilgrammed techniques available in the current meta. We will explore the weapon-specific styles introduced in the Raindrops update, the essential movement skills from the Pre-jumps expansion, and the hidden requirements for end-game arts. By following this walkthrough, you can optimize your build and ensure your character is prepared for the toughest challenges the 2026 landscape has to offer.
Overview of Weapon-Specific Techniques
The Raindrops update fundamentally changed combat by introducing specialized techniques for almost every weapon class. These aren't just passive buffs; they change your move set, add status effects like poison or bleed, and scale with different stats like Mana or Poise.
| Technique Name | Weapon Type | Primary Effect | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serpent Style | Spears | +30% Damage, Inflicts Poison | 400 Spear Points (Cave NPC) |
| Chaos Arts | Daggers/Claws | Blood/Chaos Mode Toggle | Chaos Hideout Questline |
| Dark Spin | Axes | Mana-scaling Slashes | Bell Quest (Gil NPC) |
| Elite Guard | Swords | Damage Absorption/Parry | Master Rank (Elite Knight Guild) |
| Dead Eye | Pistols | Multi-target Lock-on | Kill Shot Marketer (Savannah) |
| Giant Slayer | Spears | High-damage Uppercut | Kill Purple Shark (Taurus Quest) |
💡 Tip: When farming points for techniques like Serpent Style or Monarch Claw, focus on high-level bosses. Killing King Sandpod provides over 1,000 points per kill, making it much faster than farming low-level thieves.
Essential Movement Skills (Pre-jumps)
Before diving into heavy combat, every player needs to secure their utility skills. These pilgrammed techniques allow for better exploration and survivability during boss fights.
The Climbing Skill
To obtain the ability to climb walls three times consecutively, you must visit the Duke of Rocks.
- Locate the Duke of Rocks in the mountain region.
- Complete his "Mountain Quest" by defeating a specific number of mountain-dwelling enemies.
- Reach the summit of the mountain to finalize the quest.
- Return to the Duke to receive the permanent climbing ability.
The Dash Technique
Found at the Elite Barracks, the Dash technique provides empowered rolls that act as high-speed dashes. While the exact unlock criteria can vary based on your account's history, it generally requires reaching a high level in the Elite Knight Guild or defeating the Skeleton boss.
Sky Jumping (Double Jump)
This is one of the more complex skills to acquire. You will need:
- Cloud Boots: Purchased from the shop vendor.
- 20 Royal Rubber: Common material.
- Great Redbird Feather: Obtained from a sleeping Redbird on a far island.
To get the feather, use a teleporter near the Imperial Knights to reach the small island, then use the white orbs to glide upwards while dodging Tangerines. Once you have the materials, return to the slingshot NPC to unlock the mid-air jump.
Advanced Combat Arts: Chaos and Dark Styles
For players looking for end-game power, the Chaos Arts and Dark Spin techniques offer unparalleled versatility.
Mastering Chaos Arts
Chaos Arts allows you to toggle between "Blood" and "Chaos" modes. Blood mode shoots projectiles but drains health, while Chaos mode adds explosive damage to your heavy attacks.
- Join the Chaos Clan: Visit the Chaos Hideout near the volcano and declare a "change of mind."
- Chaos Recorder: Use this tool to locate five chaos points across the map (Volcano, Deep Desert, and Mountain Base).
- Complete a Rift: Talk to the clan leader to find a Rift location (e.g., the Lighthouse) and clear it to finalize the technique.
Unlocking Dark Spin
Dark Spin is essential for axe users, particularly those using the Blizzard Gray Axe. It adds a powerful slashing spin that scales with Mana.
- Prerequisite: You must defeat Old V to trigger the "Rifts have opened" world event.
- The Bell Quest: Talk to Gil and find the hidden Bell in the winter region (near the marks).
- The Choice: You can choose to destroy the "False Believer" or follow Gil's path. If you miss the technique during the dialogue, look for the "Crack Guy" NPC under the bridge in the Cathedral area to buy the missed technique.
| Area | Key NPC | Technique Found | Cost/Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Savannah | Sailor NPC | Tidal Technique | Kill Sailor Lord |
| Prairie | Rapier NPC | Still Water | 5,000 Gold + Rapier |
| Observatory | Bo | Sonic Boom | Reflect 30 Projectiles |
| Elite Barracks | Taurus | Giant Slayer | Purple Shark Kill |
Specialized Weapon Techniques
The Scrap Nail Gun and Firecrackers
In the 2026 meta, status effects are king. The Scrap Nail Gun, obtained from Bo at the Observatory, applies the "Corroded" effect, which acts as a potent acid poison. To unlock it, you must collect 25 of each slime type, including the rare Black Slimes found in Yogorov's Cave.
Firecrackers, on the other hand, are unlocked through the Kaji Legion. You must travel to the Mansion past the Blacken Cove, defeat the boss Lazri, and join his guild. Ranking up through PvP in the Savannah will eventually grant you the Firecrackers technique, which provides excellent area-of-effect disruption.
Giant Slayer and Beast Killer
The Giant Slayer technique is a must-have for spear builds. It features a massive uppercut that can launch enemies.
- Join the Elite Knight Guild: Reach Journeyman or Master rank.
- Taurus's Quest: Speak to Taurus at the barracks to start the Cobalt Caverns quest.
- Crystal Hunting: Break the hidden crystals in the caverns while avoiding the jellyfish and electric traps.
- Boss Fight: Assist Taurus in defeating the Purple Shark.
⚠️ Warning: The Cobalt Caverns are filled with Jellyfish, which are widely considered the most annoying enemies in the game. Do not move while being shocked to minimize damage.
Meta Strategies for 2026
Using pilgrammed techniques effectively requires more than just unlocking them. You must manage your Mana and Poise carefully. For example, the Still Water technique for rapiers acts as a counter-parry; using it too early leaves you vulnerable, but timing it perfectly can negate boss ultimates.
Similarly, the Elite Guard technique for swords becomes significantly more powerful when paired with a shield. Different shields offer unique interactions with the Elite Guard stance, such as increased block frames or damage reflection.

FAQ
Q: How do I get more points for the Serpent Style and Monarch Claw techniques?
A: Points are earned by killing enemies with the specific weapon type equipped (Spears for Serpent, Fast Weapons for Monarch). Harder enemies yield significantly more points. Farming King Sandpod is the most efficient method in 2026.
Q: Can I use Chaos Arts on any weapon?
A: No, Chaos Arts is specifically designed for the Blood Twin Daggers, Haunted Scythe, and normal Claws. Each of these weapons has unique heavy attacks when Chaos mode is active.
Q: What is the best technique for beginners in Pilgrammed?
A: The Climbing skill from the Duke of Rocks and the Dash technique from the Elite Barracks are the most important early-game pilgrammed techniques. They provide the mobility needed to survive higher-level zones.
Q: I lost the NPC for the Serpent Style quest. Where did they go?
A: If you have already started or finished the quest, the NPC may disappear from the Desert Cave. Check your quest log to see if you still need to farm points or if you simply need to talk to the spear master at the Elite Barracks to finalize the style.
