Tonitrus
The Tonitrus is a unique and powerful Trick Weapon in Bloodborne, known for its ability to imbue itself with Bolt damage, making it exceptionally effective against certain enemies and bosses. This weapon is not found through typical loot drops but is instead acquired through a specific method involving exploration and a bit of risk. Its acquisition requires players to venture into a dangerous area and overcome environmental hazards.
To obtain the Tonitrus, players must venture into the Forbidden Woods. Within this treacherous area, specifically in a cave system that can be accessed after dealing with some of the area's more aggressive inhabitants, lies a chest. This chest contains the Tonitrus. The path to this chest is guarded by formidable foes and environmental dangers, so be well-prepared before attempting to retrieve it. It is often found near a cave system with a lantern.
The Tonitrus is a mace-like weapon that, when transformed, crackles with Bolt energy. This transformation sificantly boosts its damage output, particularly against enemies weak to Bolt damage, such as many Kin-type enemies and certain bosses. Its moveset is relatively straightforward but effective, offering a good balance of speed and impact. The added Bolt damage makes it a valuable asset for hunters looking to exploit enemy weaknesses and overcome challenging encounters.
