Thunderblood Crossbow is a Nord Crossbow reforged with a Thunderblood Essence. It deals 274 pierce and 45 lightning, 319 damage in all, against the Nord Crossbow's 264. Every hit has a 25% chance to set off chain lightning, and it hits 0.2% harder for every point of health you are missing.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from:
- 1x Nord Crossbow: made by hardening a Cast: Nord Crossbow with Liquid Frost in a Frost Foundry.
- 20x Bloodgold: smelted from Petrified Tissue in a Blast Furnace.
- 1x Thunderblood Essence: drops from Fallen Warriors, which you call up with three Memorial Coal at a Memorial Site.

When to Use It
This is an end game weapon. You can only progress through the Deep North once Fader is dead.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge, and each step needs the station one level higher than the last. The first upgrade costs the per-level amount and the second costs twice that. Quality 4 would cost four times the per-level amount, but it needs a level 7 Black Forge and the forge currently tops out at level 6, so that row is not yet available.

Properties
Load it, then fire. You can hold a loaded bolt for as long as you like, and firing is free of stamina cost.
Holding it lowers your movement speed by 5%.
At quality 1 it deals 274 pierce and 45 lightning, 319 damage in all. That is 39% more than Root Ripper and Storm Ripper at quality 1, which deal 230 and are the joint hardest-hitting weapons of their kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 8 pierce and 5 lightning, so by quality 3 it reaches 290 pierce and 55 lightning, 345 in all.
Its hits have a knockback force of 210.
It weighs 1.5 and has 300 durability, rising to 400 at quality 3.
Against Deep North creatures, pierce deals full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Hexen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose. It deals reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Krigen, the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps, and Kall Fimbulbringer. Lightning deals extra damage to the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and reduced damage to Barka and Kall Fimbulbringer. It deals full damage to the rest: Elakings, the Eyeless One, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Skeletons, Hexen, Krigen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose.
Quality 4 needs a level 7 Black Forge, one level above the current maximum of 6, so in practice it stops at quality 3.
Crafting it from scratch and taking it to quality 3 costs 70 Bloodgold, 10 Timberwood and 4 Thunderblood Essence, plus a mould and 5 Liquid Frost.
Notes
- The essence drops from Fallen Warriors, which three Memorial Coal call up at a Memorial Site.
- Once it reaches its last quality level, the Forge of Potential can push it further with a Bloodgold Battle Idol.
