Poison Bolts

Poison buildup 10, stack limit 12, damage 4. Game8's bolt table has five entries and does not include this one, so unlike its arrow counterpart there is no second transcription to check it against.

When to use it

The gap in Game8's table matters more than the item does: every other element has both an arrow and a bolt, so a missing Poison Bolt is far more likely to be an omission than a real asymmetry in the game. Recorded from one source, and flagged, but the shape of the set argues it is real.

Where it sits in the weapon catalogue

  • Its published attack figure is "Ranged 4 (Fextralife); not listed by Game8". No other catalogued Bolts entry prints that figure, which in a catalogue where seven swords share one number is itself worth knowing.
  • It deals Poison, which two other catalogued weapons also do: Hunter's Sword and Poison Arrows. What each damage type actually does is the page that argues the swap.
