Heavenly Shot is the Maister skill of the Archer vocation, taught by Taliesin. It fires one mighty arrow and uses up all of the Archer's Stamina. Taliesin hands over the tome Hunter's Secret, which teaches it.
Fires an almighty arrow in exchange for consuming all of the user's Stamina. The arrow's potency is determined by the user's remaining Stamina when it is loosed.
How to Unlock Heavenly Shot
Taliesin teaches it through the tome Hunter's Secret, earned in A Trial of Archery. The quest starts in Vernworth.

How to Use Heavenly Shot
The arrow's strength depends on how much Stamina is left when it is loosed. The tome is earned through the quest A Trial of Archery. The skill reaches its full strength only at a high enough Vocation Rank.
A Trial of Archery Quest Guide
- Finish Gift of the Bow and let a few days pass.
- Talk to Glyndwr outside Roderick's Smithy in Vernworth.
- Meet Glyndwr at the marked campsite and follow him to Sacred Arbor. Monsters attack along the way.
- In the Arborist's Home, Taliesin reveals that an Ogre has carried off Glyndwr's sister, Doireann.
- Go with Glyndwr to the Ancestral Chamber and fight through it to reach Doireann.
- Glyndwr's arrow makes the Ogre drop her. Grab Doireann and carry her to safety, then defeat the Ogre or slip past it.
- Carry Doireann out of the Ancestral Chamber. Defeating the Ogre lets Glyndwr open a shortcut to the outside.
- Speak with Taliesin to finish the quest.
- Talk to Taliesin again to receive Hunter's Secret, which teaches Heavenly Shot. Gifts and escort requests raise his affinity if he holds it back.
