Where to find

Notes

  • The player character must accept Bhaal and become an Unholy Assassin.
  • The name of the passive feature, Dolor Amarus, is Latin for "Harsh suffering" or "Bitter sorrow".
  • The Dolor Amarus passive feature applies to all weapon attacks while this shortbow is equipped and it is able to stack with other sources of itself. Meaning that if either this axe or the Dolor Amarus dagger is equipped together with the Vicious Shortbow and either lands a critical hit, then +14 damage will be dealt instead of +7.
  • Despite the in-game description stating that it deals additional damage when making a critical hit with an unarmed attack, it doesn't deals an additional 7 damage; this is possibly a bug.
  • This effect doesn't apply on throw attack.
  • The name dolor amarus is Latin for "harsh suffering" or "bitter sorrow".
