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."

Note

• Due to this weapon's fast animation speed 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 location of the weapon is also a reference to the save point benches in Hollow Knight.
  • The weapon's flavor text refers to one of the lines of the Nailsmith, the creator of the Pure Nail in Hollow Knight.
