Torch ❘ 松明	Left Hand Weapon

In-Game Description A common torch formed by wrapping a pine resin-drenched cloth around the end of a long stick. Hunters choose torches not only because the hunt leads them to the darkest nooks, but also because certain creatures they encounter are possessed of a deathly fear of flame. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview The Torch is strictly inferior to the Hunter's Torch. It can be used to strike an enemy for fire damage, but the amount that it deals is very low. It should only be used as a light source and to scare enemies that fear flame. Replace it once you find the Hunter's Torch. Availability Treasure in (Main Story): Central Yharnam, at the Plaza gate with Huntsman's Minion banging on it 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, 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%. Torch which has 100 points of durability reaches risk state at 30 Dur. Workshop's Repair: cost of repair depends on the weapon and its upgrade. For Torch it's 2 Blood Echoes per 1 point (values are rounded), full repair costs are 150 Blood Echoes. Notes Cannot be fortified. 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] It may seem to be completely obsolete due to existence of Hunter's Torch, but do not miss it. It is required for acquiring Hunter's Essence (Acquire all hunter weapons) Trophy. You can find concept art of the Hunter's Torch in Bloodborne Official Artworks, on page 233.
