Notes
- Bestowing the ability of a Necromancer, Bonehew is a powerful polearm that any physical fighter can find very useful, particularly due to its good chance of casting a high-level Bone Spear on striking, and its bestowing of a high-level Corpse Explosion
- Cannot be upgraded. This is already the elite version of this Polearm. The normal version is called Bardiche, while the exceptional version is the Lochaber Axe
- Prevent Monster Heal (PMH) is a very useful attribute that can be used to kill Uber Diablo. Normally, Uber Diablo regenerates very quickly, requiring high-level gear to take him down. However, equipping an Act 2 Merc with this weapon will prevent Uber Diablo from regenerating, making it possible for players with low-level gear to take him down. Bonehew also conveniently comes with two sockets, one of which can be slotted with an emerald so that the player can see when PMH has been activated on Uber Diablo
- The definition of "hew" is to "chop or cut", making the name of this weapon imply that is specializes in cutting bones
