Spark Hunter Badge ❘ 雷光の狩人証

Key Item

In-Game Description

    Badge crafted in secret by Archibald, the infamous eccentric
    of the Healing Church, for his friends.

    Archibald was fascinated by the blue sparks that emanate
    from the hides of the darkbeasts, and dedicated his life to its
    artificial reproduction, in a style of inquiry that, incidentally,
    closely followed the methodology of Byrgenwerth.

  • If you are just after Tonitrus, you can pick one up from a corpse at the opposite end of Yahar'gul; there's no need to fight Darkbeast Paarl for it. The Spark Hunter Badge does give you access to Bolt Paper, though, which is quite useful, and you'll need to encounter Paarl to collect the Powder Keg Hunter Badge by befriending Djura in Old Yharnam, as well.

  • Badges are proof of your achievements and can be shown to the Bath Messengers and Insight Bath Messengers in the Hunter's Dream to expand the shop inventory. You'll sometimes find these valuable relics on the bodies of the fallen, but you may also receive them from other hunters. Obtaining certain badges will add extremely useful and important items to the shop's lineup, so it's worth going out of your way to find them.

  • The Bath Messengers are the most straightforward of the game's merchants; they can be found in the lower bath in the Hunter's Dream from the start of the game, and offer you the options to buy and sell items. By acquiring new badges, the Bath Messengers shop will start filling with new messengers in the bath. Each badge adds unique messenger alongside with new sortiment for you to buy. Spark Hunter Badge adds Messenger clapping to the right.

  • The Insight Bath Messengers can be found in the upper bath outside the middle door of the base building in the Hunter's Dream and, as its name implies, uses insight as its currency rather than blood echoes. In order for the merchant messengers to appear, you must have at least 1 point of Insight (required only once).

Availability

  • Dropped by (Main Story): Darkbeast Paarl, you'll receive this badge after defeating Paarl in Graveyard of the Darkbeast in Old Yharnam route through the Yahar'gul, Unseen Village. Paarl is a tough foe if you fight him early in the game.

Notes

  • Unlocks Tonitrus and Bolt Paper for purchase at Bath Messengers and Bolt Paper for purchase at Insight Bath Messengers.
  • Upon starting New Game+ Spark Hunter Badge will stay in your inventory. Other Key Items (except for other Badges, Blood Gem Workshop Tool, Rune Workshop Tool, Short Ritual Root Chalice, Workshop Haze Extractor and Ring of Betrothal) you acquired on your previous playthrough will be stripped away and you'll need to collect them again.
