Location - Vicious Shortbow
The item is obtained in Act 3. You have to become an Unholy Assassin in the Muder Tribunal. This area is accessed via Lower City, Candulhallow's Tombstones.
After that a special trader is unlocked - Echo of Abazigal, which will have an inventory of special items.
How to Become an Unholy Assassin?
There are multiple ways to become one, or rather multiple ways to acquire access to the Murder Tribunal. This mostly revolves around the quest - Impress the Murder Tribunal. Here are they:
- Kill two targets from the Bloodstained Parchment. The list is found inside Fraygo's Flophouse in Wyrm's Crossing.
- Kill Dolor, the other Assassin, who is also following the Bloodstained Parchment for murders. You will encounter him near one of the murder targets. Once you take him out, loot his collected fingers and a note on how to enter the Tribunal.
- Once Orin asks you, kill Enver Gortash, and use his hands as proof.
After you have done one of the above, you can go to Candulhallow's Tombstones:
In the room on the far end, remove the painting where you will find a hidden button. You will enter the Tribunal, where you will have to present proof of your deeds.
This will allow you to converse with Sarevok and take a step toward becoming an Unholy Assassin.
