Enhancements are handy little trinkets you can find lying across the game world. There are 12 of these bad boys each have their own unique bonuses. Once acquired, you can assign one enhancement to each weapon you own, allowing you a total of three enhancements at any one time (two at the end of the game as the Armageddon Sword cannot be enhanced).
