Cannon ❘ 大砲	Left Hand Weapon

In-Game Description Large prototype firearms fashioned by the workshop heretics, the Powder Kegs. Use of this weapon is equivalent to toting a mounted cannon, complete with its ridiculous weight, staggering kick, and lavish use of Quicksilver Bullets, into battle. Such a monstrosity was doomed from the start, and indeed its development was cut short. Yet, against impossibly gigantic foes, it might be just the thing. Note 1: Different in-game description (right) in US (1) & UK (2) versions (more). ✕ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview The Cannon is capable of the strongest attacks in Bloodborne, but it consumes 12 Quicksilver Bullets per shot and has high stat requirements. If you are using a high strength character, this weapon is the ultimate perk. It does excellent damage, even from range, and it can be strengthened even further by using Bone Marrow Ash or attacking staggered enemies to deal double damage. This weapon is an absolute boss-killer; if you are struggling with an enemy, this weapon can be your last hope. Remember to make some Blood Bullets before firing each shot! Availability Treasure in (Main Story): Forbidden Woods, inside Large Windmill in the upper floor near shortcut Sold by: Bath Messengers [Hunter's Dream] Notes Patch 1.03 changed from ver. 1.02, QS Bullet cost from 10 to 12 If you use Blood Bullets by tapping UP button prior each shot you can shoot the Cannon twice If you use all three Formless Oedon (Max QS bullets held UP +5, +4, +3) Caryll Runes you can shoot up to 4 times with using Blood Bullets prior each shot. Alternatively you can replenish your bullets by using Oedon Writhe Caryll Runes (Visceral ATKs grant QS bullets +3, +2, +1) Even though it deals higher amount of damage than Church Cannon it is considered worse choice in all aspects other than for staggering large enemies. Cannon has slower reload time, projectile explodes mid air not upon impact and it costs two more bullets to shoot. You can find concept art of the Cannon in Bloodborne Official Artworks, on page 236.
