Overview
- Players have located Shakra in the northwest of The Marrow, where maps and tools are sold for rosaries, with the Compass requiring bench equip and the Quill filling in maps after resting.
- A practical early mapping setup now documented totals 280 rosaries for maps, Quill, Compass, and Bench Pins, with clear routes from Bone Bottom to Shakra to secure them.
- Rosaries fund benches, shop items, and Bellway stations; benches can cost 30 rosaries, Bellway prices rise with progression, and rosary strings preserve currency after death with conversion options at Pebb and later machines.
- Effective early farming loops are established in Mosshome near Shakra’s bench, in Bone Bottom, and in Deep Docks, with bench respawns and a quit-to-menu reload shaving time between runs.
- Defeating the Bell Beast in The Marrow unlocks Bellway fast travel—initially linking The Marrow and Bone Bottom with optional 60-rosary pins—while a confirmed Needle upgrade comes from Pinmaster Plinney in Bellhart after the Widow boss.
