The guide reports two ways to obtain it: buy it from Mottled Skarr in Hunter’s March for 140 Rosaries, or, after reaching Act 2, find it near the merchant’s corpse.
What Curveclaw does
Game8 describes Curveclaw as a boomerang-like ranged attack and notes that it can be useful against flying enemies. Team Cherry’s official Patch 3 notes confirm one specific interaction was fixed: “Fixed Curveclaw not reacting to Hunter down-stab.” That note confirms the down-stab interaction was addressed, but does not specify damage, range, durability, or a complete moveset.

How to get Curveclaw
Game8’s guide, updated 25 September 2025, reports two acquisition routes. The first is a purchase from Mottled Skarr’s hidden shop in Hunter’s March; reaching the shop requires the Drifter’s Cloak. The second becomes available after Act 2 begins, when the guide says Curveclaw can be found near Mottled Skarr’s corpse. These location details are guide-reported rather than independently verified here.
| Route | When | Requirement or cost | Reported location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy from Mottled Skarr | Before Act 2, according to Game8’s guide | 140 Rosaries; Drifter’s Cloak to reach the hidden shop | Mottled Skarr’s shop in Hunter’s March |
| Retrieve the item | After reaching Act 2 | No purchase cost is stated by Game8 | Near Mottled Skarr’s corpse |
Both routes are reported by Game8’s Curveclaw guide. The guide does not establish that one route is faster or preferable; which applies depends on your progress and whether you have access to the hidden shop.
