Notes

  • This gun is an excellent room clearing weapon, as it one-shots most enemies even into the Forge, and is extremely accurate and ammo-efficient.
  • This gun can be reloaded immediately after firing to activate [Hip HolsterHip Holster] if above 100 ammo.

Trivia

  • This gun is a reference to the Sunlight Spear, a miracle in the Dark Souls series whereby the caster hurls a bolt of lightning, though the Dark Souls version does not deal damage over time. "Grossly incandescent" and "brilliant aura" is reference to Solaire, an NPC from Dark Souls who says this quote ("If only I could be so grossly incandescent", "Spot my summon signature easily by its brilliant aura" ).
  • Solaire introduces the player to co-op in Dark Souls, which is referenced by both the description text and the unlock methods both being forms of cooperation.
  • The "\o/" synergy name is a reference to the "praise the sun" gesture in Dark Souls.
  • Prior to patch v2.1.5 the game would not set the necessary flag to unlock this gun, therefore making it impossible to unlock without the use of a save editor or mod.
  • This weapon can also be used to damage bosses when disappeared, such as Cannonbalrog or the High Priest . The Ammoconda must be hit in the head to apply the glowing effect.
  • This weapon is proficient at room clearing with items that grant piercing or bouncing effects such as [Ghost BulletsGhost Bullets] or [Bouncy BulletsBouncy Bullets]
  • This gun can randomly unlock in single player after beating Dragun
