Normal: Treasure in (Main Story) : Treasure in Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (Evening); corpse to the far left outside from Hypogean Gaol Lamp. If you need further assistance to find the weapon, you can follow the full Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (Evening) Map . Sold by : Bath Messengers Spark Hunter Badge : You'll receive this badge after defeating Darkbeast Paarl in the Unseen Village of Yahar'gul. Paarl is a tough foe if you fight him early in the game. If you are just after Tonitrus, you can pick one up from a corpse at the opposite end of Yahar'gul; there's no need to fight Paarl for it. The Spark Hunter Badge does give you access to Bolt Paper, though, which is quite useful, and you'll need to encounter Paarl to collect the Powder Keg Hunter Badge by befriending Djura in Old Yharnam, as well. Uncanny: Treasure in (Root Dungeons) : Ailing Loran ; x98va7xn , Ailing Loran L1, side area before layer boss [tested May 12, 2020]; alternatively found in False Depth Dungeon , fearrfan , Ailing Loran L1, side area before layer boss [tested May 12, 2020] Lost: Treasure in (Root Dungeons) : Lower Loran ; 4i5efewz , F/R/C Lower Loran L1, side area before layer lamp [tested May 12, 2020]; alternatively found in False Depth Dungeon , wkzxrvfz , Lower Loran L1, side area before layer boss [tested May 12, 2020]
