Skorm's Bow

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 :w00t: what an amazing bow!)

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

Re: Skorm's Bow

im not exaclt sure how to get it, but i do know that you can:

Spoiler

get it at anytime of the game. I think you have to sacrifce a certain amount of people (3 i think) at one time.

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

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

Midnight.

Spoiler

Sacrifice *any* person at midnight. Voila, Skorm's Bow.

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

So being evil in this case is another disadvantage

Re: Skorm's Bow

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...

Re: Skorm's Bow

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

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

 

[raistlin]

Re: Skorm's Bow

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.

Re: Skorm's Bow

I only got Skorms bow the first time I ever played through the original. I havent gotten it since.

Re: Skorm's Bow

My first post, everyone welcome me. Ha, or not. Anyway, I hope to shed some light on the situation. I read somewhere that the success at the chapel depended on your alignment. A neutral character should sacrifice at midnight and good and bad characters should sacrifice at 6 AM or 6 PM respectively. I, being fully good, sacrificed at 6 AM... that's assuming 6 AM is with the night on the left and day on the right of the "clock" and midnight is with night on top and day on bottom. I still haven't figured out the timing. Anyway, I got the bow when I sacrificed at 6 AM exactly as the mercenary(Oakvale) took his pay. In the original Fable I spent hours donating at midnight and couldn't get it. I was fully good that time too. So maybe somebody who has more time then I do can test it a few times, along with the theory of midnight for any alignment. Maybe we can figure out a consistent way to get the bow.

Re: Skorm's Bow

Well folks, I have discovered the best way to get Skorm's Bow:

Just sacrifice the bodyguard outside the Temple of Avo after 2 AM, and the bow is yours (even if your alignment is at the evil side). I got +532 towards evil:lol:

Re: Skorm's Bow

If u r evil, donate a crapload of money to the temple of avo, heck u could get the Sentius while ur there if u like, then once ur very good, get the good merc there or at oakvale and sacrifice em.
