One of the most surprising things about is how difficult it can be, from its precise platforming to its challenging boss battle🐭s that require Sargon and the player to master their Time Powers and sword-swinging abilities.

Although Sargon is most proficient with his dual blades, those aren't the only weapons that he'll be using while adventuring through Mount Qaf. As you progress through the main quest, you'll also get some long-ranged options in the form of the Bow of Menolias and the Chakram of Menolias, which you'll need to become very familiar with to beat the game. Before that, though, you're going to w🍰ant to know where to find them.

Updated on January 31, 2024, by Yezua Ho: We've updated this guide to include a full video guide, should you wish to see exactly how to unlock those weapons you desire.

How To Unlock The Bow Of Menolias

The Bow of Menolias can be found very early on during the first main quest, Lost In Mount Qaf. If you keep moving to the right and following the mission marker, you'll eventually run into Neith on top of a statue that you can climb up by hitting the purple orbs to rewind time and make new platforms. While talking to Neith, she'll note that neither of you can reach the purple orb above you that ಌyou need to break to cont💜inue chasing Anahita.

Neith will suggest that you find Menolias, the Immortal's long-ranged specialist, and then mark his location on the map, which is in the Hyrcanian Forest on the east side of Mount Qaf. Follow that map marker and make your way over to the forest. You'll need to keep going through the forest for a while, until you reach a big boar called Erlik that you'll need to defeat.

Don't worry too much about fighting Erlik, as he's very simple to defeat. Just dodge behind him whenever he g⛦lows red and deal as much damage as you can while he's recovering from performing his attack.

Once you've defeated Erlik, go into the next room on the right. Sargon will find the Bow of🎉 Menolias in that room, which then adds one of the game's most useful items to your inventory.

What The Bow Is Used For

As you can imagine, the Bow of Menolias is a long-ranged weapon that allows Sargon to fire arrows at enemies and items that he otherwise wouldn't be able to reach. It's initially not very helpful when it comes to causing damage, but if you upgrade its arrow capacity and damage output at the Bla🃏cksmith in the Haven hub area, it'll eventually become a bit more useful.

How To Unlock The Chakram Of Menolias

Once you've unlocked the Bow of Menolias, you'll be tasked with reaching the Upper Citadel, which is where you were just speaking to Neith before entering the forest. Simply keep going to the left and towards the Upper Citadel and you'll eventually run into Menolias, who is♈ alive and well despite Sargon having just seen his𝐆 corpse.

After talking to Menolias, he'll give you the Chakram of Menolias, which is another h൲elpful tool that, while not being very useful when it comes to combat, is essenti𓃲al for getting past some of Mount Qaf's puzzles.

What The Chakram Used For

The Chakram of Menolias is another long-ranged tool that Sargon can use by holding down the same button you use to fire arrows from the bow. The Chakram can bounce off walls and reach areas that are otherwise a bit too tricky for the straight-shooting bow. Some puzzles will require you to fire the Chakram at a gear that will then move platforms and doors🦹, which becomes a key part of explor🌳ation later on.

How To Unlock The Upgraded Chakram Of Menolias

There's actually a much more helpful version of the Charkam of Menolias that can be unlocked much later in the game. During the sixth main quest, The Celestial Guardians, Sargon will have to go up against Menolias, and his reward for doing so is an upgrade to the Chakram that lets you teleport to it be✤fore it comes back to you. It's a massive upgrade that really opens up Sargon's movement kit, so make sure you check it out when you unlock it.
