Location

In the Prisoners' Quarters, there is a chance for a lore room to spawn with a bench in it. When examining the bench, the nail drops. Picking it up will unlock it permanently.

"This place feels so... peaceful."
"I feel like sitting on it would be a great relief."
"It's good to be right."

Notes

Due to this weapon's fast animation speed, but high attack cooldown, it works well for alternating between attacks with another weapon to increase damage output.

Trivia

This weapon is a reference to the Pure Nail - the fully upgraded form of the main weapon in Hollow Knight.
- The weapon's flavor text refers to one of the lines of the Nailsmith, the creator of the Pure Nail.
