Heart-Seeking Bow

“	Coronacht, the Heart-Seeker; let's deal some death.	„
	~ Zagreus

Coronacht (also known as Coronacht, the Heart-Seeking Bow) is one of the Infernal Arms in Hades and can be unlocked for 1 Chthonic Key.

Codex entry

'...Coronacht, the so-called Heart-Seeker, is certainly the finest bow ever conceived, and wielded once by none other than Mistress Hera, who stood side by side with Zeus, on better terms back then, as they drove back the Titans under a storm of arrows and thunder. Hera since abandoned her once-warlike ways -- quite understandably, for she has greater matters to attend to now. However, Coronacht yet yearns for further bloodshed. That it shall find in the hands of Lord Hades' own son, whom I taught the ways of such weapons. I have a distaste for the bow, it must be said, for it was by the bow that my own life was ended early in a manner of debatable glory. May it serve the Prince better than it served me. That is to say, may it serve him better than it served my master from my mortal days. Chiron, lord of centaurs, vast of wisdom; he had told me of its power, shown me it. I was young and did not believe him then. But I believe him now.'

Fighting style

The bow delivers ranged attacks that hit enemies at a distance. The main attack can be charged to increase distance and damage, releasing at the right moment for additional 10 damage. The special sprays arrows in a cone in front of you, dealing 10 damage each.

Aspects

The Heart-Seeking Bow has 4 Aspects: Zagreus, Chiron, Hera, and Rama. Like all other weapons, each Aspect has 5 levels that can be unlocked by spending Titan Blood. The higher the level of the Aspect, the more effective its improvement is. Reaching the highest level in all Aspects requires 51 Titan Blood. An Aspect will not only change the appearance of the Heart-Seeking Bow, but will also improve its attacks. The Aspect of Rama has a unique move-set which changes the fighting style of the Heart-Seeking Bow.

Notes

• With the Aspect of Hera, casts are loaded into the Attack of the bow and will fire in rapid sequence either at the point of impact or at the end of the arrow's flight path. Unlike the Aspect of Beowulf of the Shield of Chaos the Casts are not modified in any way; they fire with their original effects and can still embed in targets (if the corresponding Boon on your casts allows it). If you take the Chain Shot upgrade for the bow, the loaded cast(s) will fire at the first enemy hit.

Trivia

• Coronacht is an alternative spelling of the Gaelic word “coronach”, which means “funeral song”.
