Skorm's Bow

The Nameless · 03-25-2006, 12:22 AM

When do you have to sacrifice the people to Skorm (at the Chapel of Skorm) to get Skorm's Bow??? (I love using bows, and I thought that the Master Bow was the best bow... but then i saw Skorm's Bow on this site and thought

what an amazing bow!)

plz, can anyone tell me how to get it???

I got bandits from the bandit camp to come with me to Skorms Temple. And 'charm' village to come. Another way is to hire body guards.

It's nothing to do with the number of people - it's about the time.

Midnight.

Midnight always equals the maximum amount of evil points you can get from that particular follower (which varies on whether or not they're good/your wife/etc).

Well, it won't always happen perfectly, your going to have to try a few times per say. Also, the more good you are, the higher the chances are as well. I rememeber when I tried it once, I was almost completely good, and when I went to get it I got after the second try.

Seigfried is correct, there are numerous factors which influence you earning Skorm's Bow. But apparently the higher 'good' alignment you are, the higher your chance of succes is. And as Ulicus said, you must also perform the sacrifice(s) at around midnight.

So being evil in this case is another disadvantage

The Nameless · 03-25-2006, 12:48 PM

It worked like projectego said. I sacrificed two bodyguards at around 3 AM, then I got the Skorm's Bow and +541 evil. Note: I got the bow when I sacrificed the second bodyguard.

I was almost max evil, and still I got the bow...

Seigfreid · 03-25-2006, 12:50 PM

Just another shot of the luck factor. Oh and even though it may be a disadvantage of evil to have to be good to raise the chances, its more or less a large advantage when getting the Sentinus.

It took me quite a few mercenaries to get the skorm's bow. I finally got the skorm's bow when I sacrificed a mercenary for 283 evil points. Oh, and the "perfect" time isn't midnight, it's random.

That's not true, cuase if you were to sacrifice at midnight can rais the evil gain and any of the benefits with it. Believe me, I've taken the time to study this and other theories.

I've gotten the "perfect" time at various times. It's not just midnight.

Ulicus · 03-25-2006, 11:39 PM

Yeah, because it isn't set you can get the perfect result at any time, BUT it is heavily in favour of midnight. Midnight (or, more accurately, getting the sacrifice to happen around same the time as "Lights out you 'orrible lot", that is) always equals the top amount of evil or near for me, whilst any other time is most often 'pittance', though can *very occasionally* be higher. Time was when I used to go with luck and hope for the best, now I get Skorm's bow first time every time. That cannot be a coincidence.

To use a s*it analogy - if you walk down the street, there's a chance you might see a dog. If you go to a dogshow, you're guaranteed to see a dog. Midnight is the dogshow. I've also heard that the exact point between day and night is supposed to be a sweet spot too... but it never has for me.

I mean, there are other factors to consider - because it's dependant on how many evil points you recieve, so it's easier for good characters. Much like you have to donate far less as an evil character to get all the cool stuff from the temple of Avo.

Good explanation Ulicus, couldn't have better said it better myself.

raistlin · 03-28-2006, 04:39 PM

i have gotten skorm's bow every time I have played through the game(except for my first time through the game) and all i do is go at midnight and sacrifice the "good" mercenaries at the temple of Avo and Oakvale but i save before i sacrifice them just in case it doesn't work and if it doesn't it always works after i reload the game.
