A Universal Time Requiem Arrow: How to Get and Use It

Understanding the Requiem Arrow

In A Universal Time, the Requiem Arrow is a highly sought-after item that serves as a gateway to some of the game's most powerful abilities. Visually distinct from the standard Stand Arrow, it features a unique beetle-like design and a snapped-off handle. Its rarity is categorized as "Epic," reflecting its importance in your progression.

Players often look for this item to unlock specific Stand evolutions or to complete complex questlines. Unlike common arrows that provide randomized Stands, the Requiem Arrow is a utility item designed for targeted upgrades. Understanding exactly where to find it and how to leverage it is crucial for any player looking to optimize their combat loadout.

How to Obtain the Requiem Arrow

There are two primary methods to secure a Requiem Arrow. Depending on your current level and combat capabilities, one route may be significantly more efficient than the other.

Defeating Diavolo

1. Locate the Diavolo boss within the game world.
2. Engage and defeat the boss in combat.
3. Upon defeat, there is a 50% chance for the Requiem Arrow to drop as loot.

Opening Loot Crates

1. Accumulate Loot Crates through gameplay or rewards.
2. Open the crates in your inventory.
3. The Requiem Arrow has a chance to drop as an Epic-tier item from these crates.

The boss-hunting route is generally preferred by active players because it provides a consistent, high-probability outcome compared to the RNG-heavy nature of Loot Crates.

Strategic Uses and Crafting

The Requiem Arrow is not just a collector's item; it is a functional tool for progression. Its primary utility lies in crafting specific Stands and completing NPC-led quests that expand your arsenal.

Gold Experience Requiem

The Requiem Arrow is a mandatory material required to craft Gold Experience Requiem. Without this item, you cannot initiate the transformation process for this specific Stand.

Corrupted Arrow Quest

Players can interact with the NPC Bon Shaker. After completing his specific questline, you can use the Requiem Arrow to obtain the Corrupted Arrow, which serves as a powerful utility item for high-level players.

Always ensure you have enough inventory space before farming for these items, as they are valuable and you wouldn't want to miss a drop due to a full inventory.

Tips for Efficient Farming

Based on community reports, farming Diavolo is the most reliable way to stock up on these arrows. If you are struggling to defeat the boss, consider teaming up with other players. While the drop rate is a generous 50%, having a faster clear time will significantly increase your items-per-hour ratio.

Tip

Don't waste your time trying to trade for these if you are early in the game. The effort required to defeat Diavolo is often less than the effort required to accumulate the wealth needed to trade for one. Focus on building a strong Stand first to make the boss fight trivial.

Common Pitfalls and Mistakes

One of the most frequent mistakes players make is confusing the Requiem Arrow with standard Stand Arrows or Enya’s Arrow. While they share a similar category, they serve entirely different purposes. Always check your inventory tooltips to ensure you are holding the correct item before attempting to interact with NPCs or crafting stations.

Warning

Avoid attempting to trade your Requiem Arrow for "unobtainable" stands unless you are certain of the trade value. Many players use the "unobtainable" label in chat to troll or scam newer players. Always verify the item's worth through the official game page or reputable community wikis.
