Bow of Skorms

Ok, When I take a merc to donate at 12, it says "your donation is welcomed. It is evil of the purest form" does this mean im doing it right? Should I have gotten the bow from that one? Idk =\
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

Yes, you're doing it right. Take another merc in case he doesn't give it to you on that go, and sacrifice that one at the next hour. That should net you enough evil points from the chapel to get you the bow.
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

alright

gah i keep getting the 151 points ones.

Re: Bow of Skorms

Sounds like your alignment is probably messing up the time which you need to sacrifice. I think you need to do it later, around 3 AM, or maybe earlier... 9 PM. I forget. Either way, I know alignment affects it significantly, but I never had a big problem in that area. On my playthroughs, I usually try different times at night, and eventually come up with the bow in only one sacrifice.
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

My clock goes by so slow.... I can't even get it to midnight b\c it wont move, it just stays at like 9-10 pm.... and for some reason, now i cant save....
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

If Im standing in the temple, when i save, it puts me at the gate to darkwood at the skorm temple, where i saved earlier. Idk why
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

Wow Finally got it, waited like 5 min for it to get to like 11 pm, then donated a merc, then another and got it
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

Woot :P, now I gotta go donate another 20k to avo to get these horns away lol
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

Dude, horns rock! :devil:

On my second sacrifice, I got 845ish. So I got everything at once. Bow, age reduction and Necromancer title. Hey GetOwned, check your weapons>ranged list to see if you obtained it. It won't pop up into your hand once you get it. You have to equip it. Stay evil, my friend.

Re: Bow of Skorms

Yeah, I had an evil character. I know it's harder with an evil character..but it go rediculous. I got like all the bandits I could to follow me at Twinblades camp. I took them to the chaple of skorm and scrificed ALL of them. I did this about...6 times with up to..12 bandits..and I didn't get anything. Three times the guy said (evil in purest form) (granted with the evil you..)...And I still didn't get anything..

Now I have a good character. ALMOST PURE good, and I sacrificed the temple of avo merc...and...I still didn't get anything but (Evil in it's purest form) And it's kinda getting tiring. My friends have the same allignment but they got the bow..I don't get it...

(sorry if I don't make sense..it happens..)
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

Well, if your character is overly evil by the time you get around to snagging the bow, you could try putting on the bright will user's outfit. That brings your alignment closer to neutral. Here's what I usually do to get it. I have never had that big a problem with getting the bow in the way I do it, so just keep at it.

1) Every time I start a new game, after I do the Wasp Queen quest, I book it for Oakvale.
2) Run back to the Chapel of Skorm.
3) Teleport to Oakvale and employ the mercenary near the memorial garden.
4) Recall to the Chapel of Skorm.
5) Teleport to Bowerstone South and hire the mercenary at the tavern.
6) Recall to the Chapel of Skorm.
7) Save your game.
8) Make sure your alignment is about neutral. Wait until midnight (when the little day/night thing has a nighttime sky filling the entire top half), and when one of the mercs takes his pay at that hour, sacrifice him quickly, making sure to hit Y to speed past the extra scenes.
9) If you didn't get the bow, wait until the next merc takes his pay and sacrifice him.

This is the "standard" way of getting it, from what I understand, so I rather assume you've already tried this. If this doesn't work, try sacrificing them at various times at night. Like 9 or 10, and then 2 or 3.
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

To get Skorm's Bow it helps if you have a good alignment, as Skorm likes to corrupt the souls of good little heroes.
The best time to make an offering of a human soul is around the time you hear the ghostly voice of the guard going 'lights out you horrible lot' or something similar ;)
I cannot remember if it is better to offer just before, during or after it. It does seem to vary with my game!
As Darkside Hazuki mentions how to get to the mercs quickly I refuse to write the same thing. As for timing when doing this, try using a bed to bring nightfall on, so by the time you have made it to the Chapel and done your teleporting it should be near enough time for scarifies.
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

All I did, was when he took his pay at around 11 or 12, I sacrificed one merc. It said "this is evil in its purest forms" and I didn't get the bow, so right after that, I sacrificed a second merc. i had with me and I got the bow.
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

The only thing good/evil affects in the temples is the amount of good/evil points you get. The more good you are, the more evil points you get for sacrificing, and the more evil you are the more good points you get for donating gold.

Corrupting a good heart would most definitly please Skorm more than one that is already more wicked than Jack, and to make a villian that is more wicked than Jack change his ways would please Avo more than a small time thief making amends for stealing a loaf of bread.

I've gotten the bow around midnight for both my evil and good heroes, and with the temple of Avo, I've figured it's mostly luck if you get the neat stuff.
 
Re: Bow of Skorms

Okay..that still didn't answer my question. I know WHEN to bring people there. and I know how it works. I'm just saying..I sacrificed over 40 people and still nothing happened.
