How Projectiles Work

• Projectiles are primarily used to attack enemies from a distance.
• Arrows have long range and deal damage based on Shiren's attack power.
• Rocks deal fixed damage and can hit targets inside walls.

Locations Key

Wood Arrow

Deals damage to a target up to 10 tiles away in a straight line.
Low attack power, and it's the most common type of arrow in the game.
Use them to practice your aim, insert single arrows into Presto Pots,
or check for monsters in hallways, etc.

Locations:

• Boy Cart, Wood Arrow Trap

Iron Arrow

Deals damage to a target up to 10 tiles away in a straight line.
High attack power, and hits harder than a direct attack with a Katana.
Easy to collect from Cross Carts using a Dodger Pot, and Iron Arrow Traps
are about as common as Wood Arrow Traps in this game.

Synthesize with a weapon to create the Anti-Metal rune.

Locations:

• Cross Cart, Iron Arrow Trap

Silver Arrow

Deals damage to targets from any distance in a straight line.
Low attack power, but the arrow pierces through walls and creatures.
Plays well with Monster Detector, but be careful not to hit Shopkeepers.

Locations:

Critical Arrow

Deals damage to a target up to 10 tiles away in a straight line.
The only other way to deal a critical hit with an arrow is to use a Mojo Bracelet.

Locations:

Poison Arrow

Inflicts Weakened status on a target up to 10 tiles away in a straight line.
One arrow reduces their attack by 50%, making it effective against power monsters.
Diminishing returns after the first arrow.

However, Poison Arrows grant Buffed status to Mutaikons and Scorpions.

Locations:

• Poison Arrow Trap

Knockback Arrow

Deals damage up to 10 tiles away, and occasionally knocks the target back.
The knockback effect is extremely powerful, and lets you defeat enemies without risk.
It's best to collect Knockback Arrows from a Strong Cart using a Dodger Pot.
You can never have enough of these arrows, and a set of 99 Knockback Arrows
can be sold for a little over 5000G if you're low on Gitan.

Locations:

• Strong Cart

Truestrike Arrow

Deals damage to a target up to 10 tiles away in a straight line, and never misses.
The arrow always hits its target, even if you have an Inacc. Bracelet equipped,
a Dodger Pot is in effect, or a Bored Kappa throws the arrow back at you.

Projectiles normally have 84% accuracy, so having a reliable option is nice.
But these arrows are rare, so it's usually better to use inventory space
on sets of wood, iron, poison, or knockback arrows.

Locations:

Killer Arrow

Instantly defeats a target up to 10 tiles away, but has very low accuracy.
It's best to use these in a similar way to Inacc. Bracelet instead of as an attack.
Lure a monster onto a Decay Trap to create Rotten Onigiri, etc.
This arrow can also one-shot night monsters.

Locations:

Drain Arrow

Damages a target up to 10 tiles away, and heals your HP equal to ~1/6 damage dealt.
Not too notable on its own, but you can restore a lot of HP in a single turn if used
with Can. Arm Bracelet or Dracon Grass to hit multiple targets.

Locations:

Random Arrow

Deals a random amount of damage to a target up to 10 tiles away.
It requires some luck, but has the potential to one-shot Cave Mamel / Gitan Mamel.

Damage possibilities (50 max):
1-20, those numbers doubled, those numbers tripled, 25, 50.

Locations:

Suicide Arrow

Deals damage to yourself and a target up to 10 tiles away in a straight line.
The damage you receive is equal to the amount of damage dealt to the target.
Unlike Sharing Staff, you'll still take damage even if you one-shot the target.

Locations:

Rock

Deals 12 damage to a target up to 3 tiles away. (Hits targets inside walls)
Useful for defeating Cave Mamel / Gitan Mamel in one hit, preventing Explochins
from exploding, and dealing damage to enemies with boosted defense.
FO-Uβ and night monsters only take 1 damage.

Locations:

Porky Rock

Homes in on a target up to 3 tiles away and deals 20 damage. (Hits targets inside walls)
Useful for defeating Cave Mamel / Gitan Mamel in one hit, preventing Explochins
from exploding, and dealing damage to enemies with boosted defense.
FO-Uβ and night monsters only take 1 damage.

Note that it only hits in 3 forward directions, and prioritizes the nearest enemy
when multiple enemies are present.

Locations:

• Porky monsters

Rightstone

Deals 12 damage to a target up to 3 tiles away to the right. (Hits targets inside walls)
Useful for defeating Cave Mamel / Gitan Mamel in one hit and preventing Explochins
from exploding, but tricky to use since it only hits targets to the right.
FO-Uβ and night monsters only take 1 damage.

The stone has piercing properties and vanishes even if it misses its target,
and the flying to the right rule also applies to Bored Kappas.

Locations:

David's Bullet

Instantly defeats a target up to 3 tiles away. (Hits targets inside walls)
It's powerful, but kind of a waste to use it since it requires Catstones to obtain it.
