Hunter's Torch ❘ 獣狩りの松明	Left Hand Weapon

In-Game Description A torch formed by wrapping a pine resin-drenched cloth around the end of a long stick. Once used in Old Yharnam. Designed to incinerate beasts and victims touched by the scourge. Its fire damage is highly effective against beasts. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview The Hunter's Torch serves as a light source in dark areas, but it can also be used to attack enemies. It deals fire damage; striking an enemy after hitting them with an Oil Urn will roughly double the damage of the hit. The damage scales with your arcane stat, and it can be helpful against enemies that are weak against fire if you don't have a stronger source of fire damage Some enemies, such as beast patients, fear flame and will be less aggressive if you are using a Hunter's Torch. Availability Treasure in (Main Story): Old Yharnam; below Rooftops path going straight from the Old Yharnam lamp. If you need further assistance to find the torch, you can follow the full Old Yharnam Map. Sold by: Bath Messengers [Hunter's Dream] Durability Durability of the weapon depletes when used. This means hitting an enemy, destructible object or bouncing off the walls. Hitting undestructible objects and environment does not deplete your durability. Style of an attack or upgrade of the weapon, even different weapon, does not matter - each count as one hit. Every 10th hit against the enemy/object depletes 1 durability. Exception is Tonitrus, which when in self buffed mode, depletes durability at rate of 2 hits. Hitting an enemy in dying animation still counts as hit. Also hitting multiple enemies/destructible objects at once counts as one hit per enemy - hitting 3 enemies at once counts as 3 hits towards durability counter. Shields lose 1 durability every 10th hit. Bounce means when your hit is bounced back off the wall or other objects. Every 5th bounce depletes 1 durability. Not every weapon can be bounced off, Hunter's Torch belongs into the category which cannot. Damage reduction when heavily worn. When weapon is at 30% of total durability, it reaches the Risk state and AR is reduced by 30% and when it hits 0% of total durability, weapon is Broken, then AR is reduced by 50%. Hunter's Torch which has 150 points of durability reaches risk state at 45 Dur. Workshop's Repair: cost of repair depends on the weapon and its upgrade. For Hunter's Torch +0 it's 1 Blood Echoes per 1 point and for Hunter's Torch +10 it's 2 (values are rounded), full repair costs for +10 are 300 Blood Echoes. Notes Unlike normal Torch it can be fortified. Hunter's Torch can not be used to rally to heal yourself. Torches do have an effect on enemy visual range, but only for some enemies and only in "dark" locations. The exact details of how this works and what enemies are affected is unclear, but a good example of this phenomenon are the Rifle and Pickaxe Watchers found in Chalice dungeons, which when found in dark rooms or tunnels will have greatly reduced visual range unless you are holding a torch. [video] The Hunter's Torch is good choice for arcane builds and is viable for combat especially early game since the most enemies are vulnerable to fire. Additionally Beast Patients in Old Yharnam and Hunter's Nightmare will cover in fear and be hesitant to attack when you have torch out. You can find concept art of the Hunter's Torch in Bloodborne Official Artworks, on page 233.
