Exploding bolt is the best bolt in the game. It is a fire damage crossbow bolt in a Magic crafted version and a Relic version. The Relic version deals 18-22 fire damage with +20 piercing and +15 silver. The crafted diagram is in an iron chest in the Isolated Shack.
Why Players Pick It
The crafted version deals 11-13 fire damage with +12 piercing and +12 silver. The Relic version adds 7-9 fire, 8 piercing and 3 silver on top of that.
When to Use It
The crafted version is level 13, which is early game. The Relic version is level 15 but is sold from level 25, so it arrives in the mid game.
Versions
The same name exists in 2 versions, each with its own figures.

How to Get Exploding bolt
- Magic (crafted): Take Diagram: Exploding bolt from the iron chest in the Isolated Shack, or buy it from the Fish Market blacksmith, the Silverton blacksmith or Éibhear Hattori. Each craft makes a stack of 20. A chest at the Scoia'tael camp in Spooked Mare holds 10-20 bolts.
- Relic: From level 25, buy them from the blacksmith at Kaer Trolde citadel or Éibhear Hattori. You can also take the 20 in Arnvald's locked chest at Kaer Trolde.
Notes
- Missable: Arnvald's chest holds the 20 Relic bolts only if he dies in King's Gambit.
