Unlike other bows, Leviathan's Breath is a power weapon that consumes heavy ammo. When fully drawn, it is capable of massive damage to boss enemies, and near if not outright fatal damage to lesser enemies and PvP opponents. In addition, the Leviathan's Sigh perk also provides some splash knockback and damage, making it slightly more forgiving when it comes to aim. The main shortfall is in reactivity due to the very long draw time, which can be crucial when facing PvP opponents, especially at closer ranges. However, it is a good choice in [[Gambit]], where the invader spawns are predictable and allows for easy shutdowns of enemy invaders.

Leviathan's Breath is an Exotic Void Heavy Combat Bow released in Season of the Undying.[1] It was obtained by quest available to Season Pass owners until Season of Arrivals, where it became available for purchase at the Monument to Lost Lights.

Gameplay[edit]

Unlike other bows, Leviathan's Breath is a power weapon that consumes heavy ammo. When fully drawn, it is capable of massive damage to boss enemies, and near if not outright fatal damage to lesser enemies and PvP opponents. In addition, the Leviathan's Sigh perk also provides some splash knockback and damage, making it slightly more forgiving when it comes to aim. The main shortfall is in reactivity due to the very long draw time, which can be crucial when facing PvP opponents, especially at closer ranges. However, it is a good choice in Gambit, where the invader spawns are predictable and allows for easy shutdowns of enemy invaders.

Perks[edit]

  • Intrinsic: Big-Game Hunter - Fires a massive heavy bolt that staggers unshielded enemy combatants. Strong against Unstoppable Unstoppable Champions.
  • Chain Bowstring: Heavy-duty bowstring. Cabal design.
    • Slightly increases accuracy.
    • Increases stability.
  • Fiberglass Arrow Shaft: Heavy and consistent.
    • Greatly increases accuracy.
    • Slightly decreases stability.
  • Exotic Trait: Leviathan's Sigh - When fully drawn, the bolt creates a large concussive blast that knocks enemies back.

Catalyst[edit]

The catalyst can drop from any ritual activity and upon upgrading it will gain the following perks:

  • Exotic Trait: Colossal Quiver - Maximizes quiver size.
    • +5 Inventory Size
  • Archer's Tempo: Draw time decreases after a precision hit.

Lore[edit]

The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

Don't ask me where I heard this—I honestly can't remember—but legend has it this Bow has fouled more behemoths and seen more of the known universe than the whole Vanguard combined. You hear a lot of stories when you work as a Gunsmith as long as I have, and this Bow has a wild one. This thing is the king of killers. Almost got Ghaul too. I think it was, um, Calus, who had it crafted for his huntsmaster—what's her name? Voyc? Yeah.

Anyway, Calus had this obsession with collecting the hides and heads of the rarest and most formidable creatures Voyc could find. And with this Bow, she was real good at it. Gwern, the Unbeatable—defeated. Giant sea monsters—taken down to size. I even heard she slayed an Ahamkara, which is very impressive if it's true.

Calus was so thrilled with her that she got a promotion. Of sorts. It wasn't common knowledge. He called her "The Shadow of the Wilds," which never sat right with me.
