Bonesaw: moves, acquisition and upgrade gates

Acquisition or Soul Temper

Mount Soulrend: defeat The Crusher and the Saw.

Inputs and core loop

Standard Square route: ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢

Sha-Chi Triangle route: △ △

Ordinary blocking costs extra Sha-Chi; a parry boosts next-hit depletion. L2 uses one Essence for unblockable attacks favoring broken targets.

Level gates and upgrade effects

Temper: boss fights fill Bloodsaw faster and increase its Bleed buildup; 5: Triangle follows up on broken targets; 10: more broken-target damage; 15: hits fill Bloodsaw for 15s biological Bleed, immune bodies excluded; 25: break pursuit greatly fills Bloodsaw.

Practice order

Start with a short Square chain to judge reach and recovery, then add Sha-Chi attacks and finally the special state or timed input. Swapping restores Sha-Chi but has a cooldown; executions may add a separate 15-second swap lock. Compare matching upgrade levels and change your damage plan when the target is immune.

The accessory exception to biological immunity

Without Livingwood Talisman, puppets, phantom bodies and golden bodies resist the biological Bleed/life-drain effects described here. The base accessory enables 50% effectiveness; +1 enables 70%, still not full effectiveness.
