Effects

Ceremonial accoutrement worn by hornsent.

Vastly raises robustness.

(Robustness governs resistance to blood loss and frost.)

Horns are sublime artifacts to hornsent, and their presence confirms the belief that they are a chosen people.

Only the repeated sprouting of fresh horns can create a tangled horn, which is viewed as an irrefutable symbol of primacy.

Bonny Gaol upper sewer cell

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Bonny Gaol

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. At the open chamber, use the back-left ledges to reach the lower roof. The shrine below is a landmark; its optional chest is not needed to continue east.
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. Reach Bonny Village through the tunnel beneath Moorth Ruins, then follow the southern route to Bonny Gaol.
7. Enter the gaol and continue through the first rooms with the jar-like prisoners.
8. Take the door on the left and drop through the large open wooden hatch into the flooded tunnel.
9. Head east through the rats, including the larger rat. Continue through the tunnel as it turns south.
10. Climb the ladder to the cell above and watch for the prisoner waiting to ambush you.
11. Loot the corpse for the charm. The opening in the cell wall returns you near the entrance, and the gaol boss is not required.

Notes

• Adds 180 Robustness, the strongest Stalwart Horn Charm bonus. It raises resistance to Bleed and Frostbite buildup.
• The larger threshold is active while worn; you do not need to trigger an ailment first. Repeated applications can still fill it.
• It does not cure active Frostbite, reverse Bleed damage or reduce the direct physical and elemental damage of an attack.
• Poison and Rot use Immunity, Sleep and Madness use Focus, and Death Blight uses Vitality. None of those stats is raised by this charm.
• Cannot be equipped with an earlier Stalwart Horn Charm. A compatible Mottled Necklace provides another Robustness bonus.
• The flooded rat tunnel and its ladder lead to the upper cell corpse. Watch for the prisoner beside it, then use the cell's opening for the short return toward the entrance. The gaol boss is optional.
