Madaras Whistle ❘ マダラスの笛

Bloodtinge Item

In-Game Description

    Whistle of the Madaras twins, denizens of the Forbidden
    Woods.
    The twins grew up alongside a poisonous snake, and
    developed a silent, inhuman kinship.

    The poisonous snake grew uncontrollably, raised on a
    healthy diet of beast entrails. Even after their deaths, it is
    said to respond to the call of the twins' whistle from within
    the Nightmare.

Effects

  • Although the Whistle requires 18 bloodtinge, and uses bloodtinge for scaling, it still deals arcane Damage, so it's a great way for players with bloodtinge builds to inflict a lot of arcane damage. Upon blowing the whistle, a portal to the Nightmare opens beneath you, and shortly after that the head of a giant snake will come bursting up through it. The time between blowing the Whistle and the snake appearing is extremely small, and if you're not careful it's very easy to get hit by the snake yourself. This attack also has quite a small area of effect (not much bigger than the radius around your character), but up until the point that the snake starts to withdraw into the portal the attack is considered active, so make sure you don't move back into the area prematurely.
  • After blowing the Whistle you can avoid the snake by either walking in a straight line without stopping or changing directions, or alternatively you can Quickstep in any direction to be less predictable. The small radius and inherent danger for the user are offset by the speed and sheer amount of damage it's possible to inflict with this attack. Anytime you're near a boss and only have a second or so to act you can use this attack to inflict a large amount of damage quickly, and still have to evade as needed. Similarly it can be very good against aggressive enemies that relentlessly pursue you. Enemy Hunters often fall into this category, so you can wait for them to get close, blow the Whistle, and then Quickstep backwards away from them and watch as they get hit while trying to follow.

Availability

  • Dropped by (Main Story): Younger Twin Madaras, the Madaras Whistle is held by one of the twins in the Forbidden Woods, so to get it you need to get him to appear and kill him for it. To do that you will first need to speak to Valtr in the Woods and Join the League to get the Impurity Caryll Rune, then after equipping that rune you will need to acquire a Vermin. Vermin can be acquired by partaking in a successful co-op session, summoning a fellow Confederate of the League and killing a boss with them, or by killing one of the stronger Old Hunters in the Hunter's Nightmare. Once you have a Vermin, use it, and then return to the Woods and speak with Valtr again to become recognized as a full member of the League. If you now leave the area via the Lamp and come straight back again, you'll find Younger Twin Madaras standing nearby with his back to you; kill him and he'll drop the Whistle for you.

Scaling

  • Scaling determines how much additional damage a tool deals. The tool stat bonus, indicated by a letter grade of S / A / B / C / D / E, and the character's stat's current level each correspond to a percentage value. These are multiplied together and against the tool base damage to determine the bonus damage received. Madaras Whistle has letter grade of S for Bloodtinge. In the table below you will find exact (datamined) AR values for character stats.
