LocationBonny Village

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Bonny Village

Before you go

  • Reach Bonny Village through the underground passage beneath Moorth Ruins.
  1. From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the road east to Moorth Ruins and activate the grace beside the cross.
  2. Pass through the large stone arch east-southeast of the grace. At the house ahead, turn left toward the leaning tower. Avoid the large open shaft behind the house, which is too deep for a direct drop.
  3. Find the smaller gap between the broken building and the rock wall in front of the leaning tower. Drop onto the balcony-like ledge, turn right past the dogs and follow the cave inward.
  4. In the open chamber at the end, take the back-left ledges down onto the lower roof. Look for the small shrine guarded by three Inquisitors and collect Golden Arcs from the chest inside.
  5. To continue east, drop from the lower roof to the ground and take the cave beside the building on the left. Follow it to the long ladder and climb out of the well at Bonny Village grace.
  6. From Bonny Village, follow the village road east. Go toward the broken bridge, but check the house on the left before reaching it.
  7. Search the body beneath the small wooden shed beside that house to collect Bonny Butchering Knife. The nearby Greater Potentate is a hazard, but the weapon is on the body, not a random drop from him.

Notes

  • Requires 16 Strength and 20 Dexterity and weighs 8.5. Its physical damage scales more strongly with Strength than Dexterity. This reverses the ordinary Butchering Knife's Dexterity preference despite the matching requirements.
  • Weapon hits restore 1% of your maximum HP. The heal happens when a hit connects rather than when the enemy dies, and the percentage does not grow with the weapon's upgrade level.
  • Hone Blade costs 16 FP and lasts 40 seconds. It improves damage and adds more healing on connected hits. Prepare it before an opening instead of expecting its sharpening animation to interrupt an incoming attack.
  • Upgrade with Somber Smithing Stones to +10. Hone Blade and the normal affinity are fixed; being able to apply a coating does not make the weapon compatible with replacement Ashes of War.
  • It has no innate blood loss or rot buildup. The blood and jars around Bonny Village do not give the weapon an unlisted status effect.
  • Collect it from the body beside the burned house in Bonny Village. The Greater Potentates nearby are hazards rather than enemies you must farm for a random knife drop.
  • Hone Blade gives 6% more damage against enemies or 4% against other players while active. Its 40-second enhancement replaces an existing grease or weapon enchantment rather than adding another independent coating.
  • The skill does not turn it into an Arcane weapon. Strength remains its main ordinary damage attribute, and its on-hit healing is different from a kill-triggered talisman.
