If you want to turn your archer into a true crowd- and boss-killing machine, consider explosive arrows. One of these can blow a group of enemies to smithereens. The problem is, they cannot be crafted from branches and rocks. You will have to either find underground merchants or arrange supplies through the Demeniss Armory. There is also a trick with “infinite” ammo—but more on that later. And yes, there is no point in this—every arrow pays off with fireworks on the battlefield.

How to get explosive arrows from the Demeniss warehouse?
Demeniss Armory Quests: A Reliable Source
The most reliable way is to make a run to the warehouse every 12 in-game hours. Where is it? Look for the last “S” in “Demeniss”—it is just to the east. Approach the warehouse, press Triangle (or Y on Xbox), then switch to the “Quest List” tab using R1/RB. You will be given three explosive arrows at a time. The price is in resources:
-
Camp weapons – 680
-
Camp food – 700
-
Camp supplies – 640
Cheap? Not exactly. But it is stable and predictable. The difference compared to regular arrows is obvious: you get not just damage, but real crowd control.
Where can I buy explosive arrows from underground dealers?
Underground traders – risky, but sometimes convenient
Only three underground traders sell explosives. Each has only two arrows, priced at 6 silver coins each. The inventory refreshes every seven in-game days—rarely, so it is best to keep this method as a backup. Where to find them?
-
Kalfad – north of Hernand.
-
Tomasso – south of Tashkalp.
-
The third one – outside the eastern wall of the castle in Demeniss.
Please note: the map above contains screenshots with waypoints—refer to them to avoid wandering around blindly. Digging into the interface settings can also make searching easier—though the developers have not created a separate marker for these vendors.
How to equip explosive arrows and deal damage?
How to equip and use
You have purchased or received arrows—now you need to equip them. Open the weapon wheel (hold “Left” on the D-pad). Use the right stick to select the bottom section—there is an arrow icon there. Then press R2 until you switch to the explosive version. Now you are ready to wreak havoc. No damage reduction—every arrow earns its full value.
How to get infinite explosive arrows?
A bonus for those who want infinity
Did they mention an “infinite” version? If you complete “Abyssal Gear: Infinite Arrows,” explosives will no longer be a consumable. It is a separate build, but it is worth it. We recommend checking it out if you plan on playing as an archer often.
