Darkening Storm in Dragon's Dogma 2 is a bow with a picture of a dark beast on it. It's great for fighting griffins, because it knocks them down easily and deals extra damage. It is used by the Archer Vocation, but can not be purchased from merchants.

A bow engraved with the form of a dark beast. Especially ruinous to griffins.

Smithing Upgrade Guide

Every weapon can be enhanced three times at an armoury or smithy, each time for gold and the materials listed below, and a fourth time with Wyrmfire. Any armoury or smithy works on weapons and armour alike. Each smith works in one style, and you can mix styles from one level to the next.

Vermundian raises every attribute moderately. Armouries and smithies in Vermund offer it, such as Roderick's Smithy and Bjorn's Armory in Vernworth.
Elven raises Magick and Magick Defense greatly, Strength and Defense only a little. Grisha's Armory in Sacred Arbor offers it.
Battahli raises Strength and Defense greatly, Magick and Magick Defense only a little. Armouries in Battahl offer it, such as Awaran's Arms and Bodas's Armory in Bakbattahl.
Dwarven raises Knockdown Power and Knockdown Resistance. Sara at Brokkr's Smithy offers it after Steeled Resolve, Blazing Forge, and Gautstafr after Put a Spring in Thy Step.
Wyrmfire halves the weight and gives a further boost once the first three enhancements are done. The Dragonforged at Bay Wayside Shrine takes payment in Wyrmslife Crystals instead of gold.

The tables below give the cost, materials and result of every level for each style.

Taking Darkening Storm to level 3 costs 14,100 G in all, whichever style you choose. Battahli smithing gives it the most Strength at level 3 (297), while Dwarven gives the most Knockdown Power (367). Wyrmfire then costs 15 Wyrmslife Crystals.
