difficulty and time are an estimate made while writing, not a measurement.

before you start

the steps

  1. feed three dragons

    the courtyard, Mission Control and the Undercroftanyone

    every bow starts as the Wrath of the Ancients, and that starts with three stone dragon heads. kill zombies in front of each one until it has had enough and crumbles.

    • the courtyard past Double Tap, above the door down to the Undercroft
    • Mission Control, the church room, above the fireplace
    • the Undercroft, near the pyramid

    with all three fed, the bow is in the Tomb room, the one joining the Undercroft to Mission Control.

    you only get this wrong once

    they eat slowly and one at a time. wait for a dragon to finish the zombie it has before you kill the next one in front of it, or the kill does not count and you have wasted the crowd.

  2. shoot the weathervane

    the Bastion, the death ray at the top of the castleone player

    from the top of the castle, look towards the Clock Tower. there is a small tower with a lightning symbol on it and a weathervane on top. shoot the weathervane with the Wrath of the Ancients.

    it spins, the brickwork round the symbol falls away, and the broken arrow drops for you to pick up.

  3. light three bonfires

    outside the map, in three directionsone player with the bow

    three bonfires, all of them outside the playable map, all lit with an ordinary shot from the Wrath of the Ancients:

    • on a castle turret, seen from the ramparts left of the Clock Tower. the second source says you can also hit it from the Mule Kick room directly below
    • far off in the distance from the outdoor KRM-262 wall buy by Double Tap: turn about forty five degrees right and look along the far edge of the ridge above the rocket test site
    • at the rocket test site, on the cliff to the right of the rocket as you come out of the teleporter tunnel, looking back at the castle
    tip

    for the middle one, put the crosshair on the fire and then raise it to the mountain peak just left of it. arrows arc, and that is the arc.

  4. wall run five panels without landing

    the Undercroftone player with the bow

    wait for anti-gravity, then wall run across five panels marked with blue symbols in the Undercroft without touching the ground.

    the arrow's progress ticks up when it lands.

  5. charge an urn and electrify all three bonfires

    the Clock Tower, above Double Tap, and the rocket tunnelone player with the bow

    three urns, each charged by killing six zombies near it:

    • the Clock Tower, beneath the stairs
    • above Double Tap, near the workbench
    • the rocket test site, in the tunnel leading out to the rocket

    with an urn charged, draw the bow next to it to electrify the arrow, then put that shot into a bonfire. do it for all three.

    you only get this wrong once

    the charge is on the arrow, not on you. one charged shot is one bonfire, so this is three urns and three trips whatever order you take them in.

  6. take the reforged arrow from the cloud

    back at the weathervaneone player with the bow

    go back to where the broken arrow came from. there is a blue cloud there now: interact with it and it hands the arrow back reforged.

  7. charge the reforged arrow

    your bow's altar in the Undercroftone player with the arrow

    put the reforged arrow in its own altar in the Undercroft. a Max Ammo drops, and a square lights up around the pyramid.

    kill zombies inside that square until a sound plays and the arrow has a white border on it. interact with it, let the animation finish, and the upgraded bow is yours.

    this last part is the same for all four bows.
