Marrow's Bane
Long Blades · Courage · Rare
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 Patch Leather and Moranite. Purchase from Avakot for 250 Dracs. 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.
Uncommon Garren Rood homage Short Blades — pure Spirit (10 Spirit) with antler theming. Listed ATK is modest (26 post-P15) but 6% smite and 52 charged make it a Spirit dagger tech piece for Garren Rood pact lines. Farm 2 fragments from Vadagar Stag night-only pools north of Borro (same foe as Gathannan; not a fixed Agari timer). Craft at Blacksmith with Scrap Brass×15, Knotwood×20, and River Pearl×6 (10h, 2500 Dracs). Zenith fragment at 215 Dracs when stocked. If you stack Courage instead, skip to Grinn (Bisulcam line); hybrid Spirit players compare Rostrum on the Gourdo route.
