Weapon overview
Cenotaph
Long Blades · Courage · Rare
Rare corrupted Long Blade with dual Courage and Spirit attunement, requiring 14 Courage and 9 Spirit. Its 53 base ATK, 106 charged damage, 40 stagger, and 3% smite support deliberate melee pressure rather than rapid critical fishing. Farm Cenotaph fragments from Rovgot Wyrm in Fallen Skycastle, then craft at Tuvalkane with the corrected recipe of Corrupt Onyx×15, Ichor×15, and Petrified Ichor×6. It fits mid-to-late hybrid loadouts that already invest in both virtues and want a Long Blade before committing to a narrower endgame route. Compare Purity for Heavy burst or Marrow's Bane for a pure-Courage cleaver; the split 14/9 gate makes Cenotaph inefficient for a single-virtue build.
Marrow's Bane is a Rare Long Blade cleaver requiring 21 Courage, forged from the claws of the great Vadagar Bear under Bromius's pact. With 54 base ATK, 40 stagger, and 5% smite, it is the highest stagger weapon among Courage cleavers in Preludes 15 — ideal for stun-locking bosses and exploiting charged attack windows. Farm 3 fragments from Vadagar Bear (a Bromius pact Omen beast encounter). Craft at Tuvalkane with Scrap Steel×15, Patch Leather×40, and Moranite×6. Purchase a copy from Wares of Zenith for 250 Arcs. Marrow's Bane is the endgame Courage cleaver that Stultin (53 ATK, 16 Courage) and Falx (54 ATK, 12 Courage) build toward. The five sharpened spires on the blade evoke the teeth of the Omen Bear itself, dripping with primal power. Pairs synergistically with Bromius pact abilities and Tethren melee bruiser builds that capitalize on 40 stagger for repeated knockdown loops. The lore describes it as a menacing cleaver wielded by the Arbearer Bromius, with a darkly humorous pact condition: protect the old roots yet to heal, or pick your teeth after a good meal. Essential for high-Courage builds targeting Omen beast graces and Neath'uns content.
