Unleash Leonora’s Fury: Mastering Guns in The Stone of Madness!

by

The “Stone of Madness” shines by providing a mix of stealthy and action-packed strategies for achieving goals. It empowers you to subdue or even get rid of guards, preventing mission failures from turning into repetitive cycles.

In more straightforward terms: Modern stealth games such as “Star Wars Outlaws” reset when detected, a characteristic that many players find annoying. On the other hand, “The Stone of Madness” provides flexibility, allowing you to regain control if things go awry by neutralizing one or two guards who have been alerted.

Firstly, before we dive into exploring The Stone of Madness, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the process of obtaining and utilizing firearms. For those who may have reservations, here is a comprehensive guide on understanding weapons within The Stone of Madness.

How to Equip and Use Guns

In “The Stone of Madness,” it’s only Leonora who can wield firearms. To give her a Pistol, remember to include one in her belongings before departing from the Cell. But, before you do that, make sure to unlock Leonora’s Gunshot Skill in the Revelations tab first. This skill requires 600 Knowledge points for activation.

If Leonora doesn’t have the ability to fire guns, then the pistols she carries are of no use to her. However, once she acquires this skill, she transforms into a formidable long-range damage dealer, capable of taking down guards, nurses, and nuns from afar with her firepower.

Shooting guards has its consequences: each time Leonora fires at an adversary, she suffers a 1 HP loss. Choosing the ‘knockout’ option might be safer under these circumstances. If you’re concerned about a subdued guard reviving and creating problems later, simply conceal them in some greenery (like a bush) or hide them inside a closet to keep them out of sight for the remainder of the session. This should prevent them from causing any further disturbances.

How to Craft Pistols

Eduardo has the ability to create two kinds of firearms: Regular Firearms (which are standard pistols) and Single-Use Firearms (these would be the worn pistols). The Single-Use Firearm is designed to function only once, after which it will become damaged or unusable. On the other hand, the regular firearm can be used several times before it’s taken out of storage.

Weapon Recipe
Worn Pistol 6 Woods + 4 Rubbles
Pistol 5 Woods + 1 Part

As an enthusiast, I can tell you that if you’re lacking the blueprint for creating a “Pistol,” you’ll find it necessary to acquire Eduardo’s Expert Craftsman skill. This enlightening discovery will broaden his understanding and unveil fresh crafting recipes at your disposal.

Crafting isn’t the only way to obtain guns. You can also find Pistols in random loot boxes.

Best Ways to Use Guns

In the game “The Stone of Madness”, guns serve a purpose beyond lethal force. As Leonora gets accustomed to handling them, pistols prove indispensable for their effectiveness at long range within the game.

Here’s how to make the most of weapons:

  • Activate mechanisms: Leonora can shoot buttons and pressure plates to trigger them from a distance. This is especially useful in areas with traps or guards, as it lets you skip some puzzles and obstacles by shooting them instead of interacting.
  • Destroy obstacles: Leonora’s Pistol can break barriers or doors, which is useful when Eduardo isn’t around, or you lack door-breaching tools.
  • Assassinate watchmen: In certain areas, rifle-wielding enemies can be a major threat. With Leonora’s Pistol, you can take them out and clear the path for your teammates.

Gunfire is distinctively loud, making it a fast signal for guards or nuns nearby. It’s wise to only fire when there’s no one around or if an escape plan has been previously established.
