 |  | 
|  | of new kinds of arrows and bows.

 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | This is a point blank shot that will strike any target in the room with

 |  | 
|  | damage will be slightly reduced.
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | This ability may be used, in conjunction with pitched arrows, to melt
 |  | 
|  | icewalls that block your path. It can also be used, in conjunction with
 |  | 
|  | incendiary arrows, to destroy stonewalls that block your path.
 |  | 
|  |   |  |

 |  | 
|  | and set fire to the location, if the location is flammable.

 |  | 
|  |  
 |  | 
|  | == Hookshot ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  |  HOOKSHOT/HSHOT <target> <dir> [toxin]
 |  | 
|  |  HOOKSHOT/HSHOT <target> SKIES [toxin]
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | This bow attack must be done with a barbed arrow and you must have a rope in your 
 |  | 
|  | inventory. If you strike your foe, you will pull them into the room with you, 
 |  | 
|  | knocking them slightly off balance.
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | This attack will use a barbed arrow envenomed with the specified toxin. If you don't 
 |  |

|  |  
 |  | 
|  | == Marksmanship ==
 |  | 
|  |   |  | 
|  | You have mastered the art of aiming and will find it nearly impossible to
 |  | 
|  | miss.
 |  | 
|  |  
 |  | 
|  | == Incendiary ==

|  | BODY before it explodes and instantly kills them.
