Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Getting Sinew

I cleared whole Cyseal map and looked to every vendor in the city and still I'm unable to find sinew to craft bow. Can someone tell me which vendors have a chance to have it to sell?

- goblin merchant in Silverglen
- ingredient merchant in Silverglen
- ingredient merchant in Cyseal (also sells water/air spellbooks)
- sceleton merchant in Hunter's Edge

If you're done with Cyeal just proceed to the next area/map.

Unless you're re-loading merchants, it's luck of the draw.

Frankly, there just isn't enough of the stuff imo.

Depends on your personal definition of enough. It's definitely rare...;)

Compare it to ores.

on my first play through I ended up selling iron and tenebrium bars because I didn't have a use for them all. I even stopped mining it when I came across them.

Every item upgrade I got was modified by my BS and I never ran out.

Sinew on the other hand, I was able to upgrade 2 ranged weapons the entire game. Never mind crafting a new weapon every few levels.

Rare, absolutely, but should it be?

I think you should be able to obtain it from carcasses, especially from the larger animals like cows and possibly even the corpses of the likes of the strange beast of burden used by the goblin merchant and the lost couple in the forest.

Also, what good are intestines in the game? I know their uses in real life, but in the game? How does one make sausages with them?
