One-Eyed Molina's Gold-Fingered Spike-Flinger is a soulbound arbalest in Pillars of Eternity, added in the Deadfire Pack. It can only be used by a chanter, cipher, druid, ranger or wizard.
Description[ | ]
As with other soulbound items, the in-game description of One-Eyed Molina's Gold-Fingered Spike-Flinger is only gradually revealed. The description starts as just two paragraphs, and more are added each time the arbalest is upgraded:
Level 1[ | ]
The dreaded Príncipi sen Patrena prowl the seas of the Deadfire, a persistent threat to the organized trading companies and to outlaw smugglers and slavers alike. These pirates originated as refugees from Old Vailia, and some of them continue to maintain the traditions of that land. Others are as brutal and anarchistic a group of freebooters to have ever roamed the waves.
Due to the dangers presented by firearms aboard ships, many raiders prefer crossbows. This almost ridiculously heavy arbalest fires bolts with enough force to knock its victims from their feet. Gold-leaf accents on the stock and stirrup differentiate it as a work of Vailian engineering from more common crossbows.
Level 2[ | ]
The Bloody Revenge of One-Eyed Molina
One-Eyed Molina was born with two eyes,
Hang from the mast and call him rigging!
Had them both still when she sailed for Deadfire,
Fill him full up until he's jigging!
One-Eyed Molina from one-walled Palmin'a,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
A queen of a captain of hawser and capstan,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
Level 3[ | ]
Two-Eyed Molina set out from Port Maje,
Hang from the mast and call him rigging!
Broadsided a trade ship and joined in the melee,
Fill him full up until he's jigging!
One-Eyed Molina from one-walled Palmin'a,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
Ahead of the gallows she kept her fast fellows,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
Level 4[ | ]
Molina and Fero crossed steel 'neath the mizzen,
Hang from the mast and call him rigging!
He took her left eye and so half her vision,
Fill him full up until he's jigging!
One-Eyed Molina from one-walled Palmin'a,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
Any gent her eye saw, fell dead in no time at all,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
Level 5[ | ]
Ropes round his ankles and up went sad Fero,
Hang from the mast and call him rigging!
Away went her sabre and out came her crossbow,
Fill him full up until he's jigging!
One-Eyed Molina from one-walled Palmin'a,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!
She traded his obles for a quiver of cold bolts,
Hey-ho, and a hard lass was she!

Notes[ | ]
- The requirements for the level 2 and 4 soulbound upgrades may be progressed with an affliction caused by any source, not only from this crossbow and its associated enchantments, despite the description. For level 2 this includes abilities that cause Prone like a cipher's Amplified Wave or a druid's Calling the World's Maw, and for level 4 this includes abilities that cause Stunned like a cipher's Silent Scream. The crossbow must be equipped and wielded for this to occur.
Bugs[ | ]
- As of version 3.07 of the game, soulbound upgrades level 4 and 5 do not seem to work as intended, providing attack speed and reload speed penalty instead of the boost listed in the item's description.[1] There are mods that fix the bug for Steam and Epic Games versions of the game.
- As of version 3.07 of the game, Soulbound Weapons added by Deadfire pack do not belong to the "Universal" Weapon Focus group. Thus One-Eyed Molina's Gold-Fingered Spike-Flinger belongs to Weapon Focus: Soldier. [2]
Trivia[ | ]
- At the official buying sources this item is mistakenly spelled "One-Eyed Molina's Gold-Fingered Spike-Finger" (instead of Spike-Flinger).[3][4]
