Alright, let's get you that 'Bones of My Enemy' achievement. To snag it, you'll need to craft one of four specific items: the Manticore Greatmace, the Horror Bow, the Horror Axe, or the Horror Shield. Each one needs a unique set of ingredients, so let's break down what you need for each.

First up, the Manticore Greatmace. You'll need a Mantis Greatpick, two Manticore Tails, and some Palladium Scrap. If you're wondering where to find Manticore Tails, there's a separate guide for that – check the link!

For the Horror Axe, Horror Shield, and Horror Bow, the main unique ingredient is Horror Chitin. You'll get this from Shell Horrors, which hang out in and around those Cabal of Wind structures scattered across the world. You'll also need a Fang Axe for the Horror Axe, and a Fang Shield for the Horror Shield. These are basically upgraded versions of the regular Iron Axe and Round Shield you can grab from any blacksmith. For both the Fang Axe and Fang Shield recipes, you'll also need 1x Predator Bones and 1x Linen Cloth. Linen Cloth is pretty common, dropped by most humanoid enemies or bought from vendors. If you're short, you can even combine two Bandages to make one. As for Predator Bones, you can loot them from a bunch of tough enemies like Wendigos, Stekosaurs, Tuanosaurs, and even Shell Horrors themselves.

To craft the Horror Bow, you'll need a War Bow, two Horror Chitins, and some Occult Remains. The War Bow can usually be found at blacksmiths, especially Quikiza in Berg.

Finally, for all the Horror weapons and the shield, you'll need Occult Remains. The easiest way to get these is to buy them from Laine the Alchemist in Monsoon, though other alchemists might have them too, just less reliably. You can also loot them from Scourge creatures and ghosts.

Let's talk about the other bits and pieces you'll need:

• Palladium Scrap: You can mine this from Palladium Veins in dungeons, buy it from Iron Sides in Giants’ Village, or find it in chests and from certain enemies like Ash Giants and Specters.
• Mantis Greatpick: You can buy this from blacksmiths, but it's not always in stock. If you don't see it, rest for three days and check again. If you want to craft it yourself, you'll need 2x Mantis Granite (from Soroborean Caravanners or Rock Mantis/Crescent Sharks in Abrassar), Palladium Scrap, and a Mining Pick (which is a common vendor item).
• Manticore Tail: As mentioned, there's a specific guide for this.
• Iron Axe / Round Shield: Standard gear you can buy from blacksmiths.
• Predator Bones: Looted from Wendigo, Stekosaur, Tuanosaur, Alpha Tuanosaur, Illuminator Horror, Manticore, Shell Horror, and Hyena.
• Linen Cloth: Common drop from humanoids, bought from shopkeepers, or crafted from 2x Bandages.
• War Bow: Blacksmiths, especially Quikiza in Berg.
• Occult Remains: Buy from Laine in Monsoon, or find on Scourge creatures and ghosts.

Here's a quick rundown of the recipes:

Pro-Tip: The Shell Horrors that drop Horror Chitin can be found near Cabal of Wind structures. There are towers in Abrassar (northwest of Levant), Hallowed Marsh (southwest of Monsoon), Chersonese (northwest of Cierzo), and a temple in Enmerkar Forest (southwest of Berg). Keep an eye out for those locations!
