How To Unlock Weapon Skills in No Place For Bravery

In No Place For Bravery, weapon skills are purchased from any Battle Memorial you interact with. Though, in order to unlock, you’ll first have to collect rare items, usually in the form of tomes or scrolls, scattered around the game’s world. Once you’ve gathered the necessary amount of tomes for a specific skill, you can pay a small gold fee at a Battle Memorial to unlock the skill.

Here’s where you’ll find all the Arbalest Bow skills:

Olon’s Fast Reload — Take Another Second, and You’re Dead x1

Olon’s Fast Reload gets right to the point – it upgrades the speed at which you reload the Bow.

• Take Another Second, and You’re Dead

In the northwestern side of the Outside Ossuary zone lies the Take Another Second, and You’re Dead scroll.

Nolo’s Quick Finger’s — Mastering Ranged Combat x1

Nolo’s Quick Finger’s allows Thorn to shoot the Arbalest Bow at a much faster rate of fire.

• Mastering Ranged Combat

The southeastern room in the Secret Base of the Order contains the Mastering Ranged Combat tome. You’ll need to overcome a tricky battle in order for it to appear.

Quick Bolt — Sketches for Repeating Arbalest x2

Quick Bolt rapidly fires three bolts in quick succession in an almost straight line.

• Sketches for Repeating Arbalest (1)

The very southern tip of the Secret Base of the Order contains the first Sketches for Repeating Arbalest tome. To reach it, you’ll need to survive a couple rooms littered with deadly arrow traps.

• Sketches for Repeating Arbalest (2)

Shortly after reaching Outside Ossuary, you’ll find a body of water with several platforms to jump around. Aim your Bow at the green lever and shoot it to raise an additional platform to reach the second Sketches for Repeating Arbalest scroll.

Heavy Bolt — Bolts to Kill a Dragon x2

Heavy Bolt fires three arrows simultaneously in a conal shape in front of Thorn.

• Bolts to Kill a Dragon (1)

In the southwestern area of Outside Ossuary, you’ll find the first Bolts to Kill a Dragon on the other side of a thick field of brush.

• Bolts to Kill a Dragon (2)

In the southern edge of the Cursed Forest, you’ll find a room with several golden tiles scattered around with phantoms standing upon them. Walk over each phantom to have them congregate in the middle of the room, revealing the second Bolts to Kill a Dragon.
