How to Unlock Huntress’ Alternative Primary Fire: Pierce

To begin your quest, you can face the Golem that guards the Artifact of Cognation. He is found in Desolate Forest Stage 1 Variant 4. You can keep resetting to get to the right variant.

You must find the area on the east side of the map and reach the underground chamber. Use the buttons on the wall to summon the beast, and then beat him in combat.

Don’t worry. Although his attacks won’t deal great damage, remember to be careful because he spits neurotoxins- hard to dodge- and he has claws.
