Notes
The Venomous Fang weapon can be found at the following location:
Can be found in the Abandoned CaveGrace in CaelidRegion. The cave is above the swamp area, and you have to walk along a branch to get to it. It's also completely filled with rot, so you might want to bring Preserving Boluses. The item can be found behind a Giant Poison Flower by jumping up the pile of dead Abductor Virgins behind it.
