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 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.
Uncommon Dendrit Long Blade requiring 11 Courage with Grace co-attunement, 48 ATK, and 30 stagger. Forge it from two fragments farmed from Etheldred The Weaver or Seachnall The Widower.
