What is the Cestus?
The Cestus is a close-quarters weapon type — a fist/gauntlet-style weapon — confirmed in hands-on previews as one of the game's seven weapon categories (Weapons).
Its combat profile:
- Shorter range than the Vampire Killer whip
- Faster combos — quick successive hits
- Damage that scales up as hits land
Where to get the Cestus
Not confirmed yet. Preview coverage has shown the Cestus as a weapon type, but its in-game location and acquisition path haven't been officially published. We'll update this page with the exact location once it's confirmed — we don't publish unverified location data.
How it fits the build system
The Cestus combines with Relics and Arcana for combat customization. As a faster, shorter-range option, it contrasts with the whip's longer reach and traversal role.
