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.
Stultin is an Uncommon cleaver-style Long Blade requiring 16 Courage, themed around the ancient Mockery lore. With 53 base ATK, 34 stagger, and 3% smite, it serves as a mid-game bridge before Marrow's Bane (21 Courage, 54 ATK). Farm fragments from Armoured Mockery or Thrice-bound Impidh (normal and Cogah variants). Dendrit Chests in the Glades and Deadwood Mockery encounters provide supplemental drop tables. Craft at Tuvalkane with Scrap Brass, Ichor, and Corrupt Onyx (10h). Purchase from Avakot for 235 Dracs. Stultin fills the Courage cleaver progression gap between Falx (12 Courage, 54 ATK) and Marrow's Bane (21 Courage, 54 ATK) — offering 16 Courage gate with 53 ATK, only 1 ATK less than both alternatives. The lore describes Stultin as a cut and rusted sword from an unremembered battle, filed flat in falchion style with a petrified wooden hilt. The glowing runes etched into settled rust suggest the blade's power persists beyond its physical decay. Effective in Crypt of the Circade content and against Mockery-type enemies where the ancient blade's resonance deals bonus damage. Pairs with Tethren melee builds for high-stagger cleaver combos.
