Windbound puts players in a humble yet expansive world full of life and nature where survival is a little fun. Lost from her people, Kara explores island after the island, navigating turbulent waters and hostile environments. Players have the option of doing the bare minimum or going the extra mile to fully fortify themselves and survive long enough to see the end of Kara's journey.
Players have a modest array of weapons and armor to craft for Kara in order to defend themselves against the many creatures that serve as supplies to continue the journey. Bows are an excellent tool due to there ability to attack from a distance and maintain a safe route to get away from any monsters that may pursue. As nice as the world may look, it's anything but, each chapter will introduce more and more ravenous beasts. The torment bow is a much stronger weapon than an average bow, that deals some extra damage over time to anything unfortunate to be hit by an arrow.
How to Craft the Torment Bow in Windbound
The Torment Bow in Windbound is made from grass rope and a stick with one more special piece, The Leviathan's Gem. Gems are obtained from erected rock structures in the ground, that require a pickaxe to break apart. Crafting tools require even more tools, so it's a good thing Kara's knife never breaks. Gems appear usually after chapter one and in the case of the Leviathan's gem, they will appear in chapter 3 as the size and number of islands increase alongside the number of beasts that are difficult to take down.
The ore that the Leviathan's gem comes from is black with a fiery red glow in and around it. They can be found on large islands in the midst of many animals and beasts or on very tiny islands almost too obscure to notice. Exploring in Windbound is very important as rushing through the main objective can result in players missing out on a lot of important supplies making it difficult to survive later in the game. So explore everywhere and everything, procure enough food to survive the trips, and don't focus on collecting too many things early on It differs from the Tempest Bow as the chain lighting only lasts from the time upon and 3-4 seconds after. The Torment Bow's damage field will remain for a much longer time.
Windbound is available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
