Strange Antiquities Diverging Hook Guide
The Diverging Hook in Strange Antiquities plays a dangerous role in both story and lore. On Day 9, Bonnie Robertson escalates her demands, holding your cat hostage if you refuse to give her Corvan’s Might. At this point you can either hand over Corvan’s Might or use a Diverging Hook to uncover where Juniper is.
This guide explains what the Diverging Hook does, how it fits into Bonnie Robertson’s storyline, and the risks tied to using it.
What the Diverging Hook Does
A Diverging Hook allows someone to carve thoughts directly from another person’s mind. When used with precision, the victim never realizes anything is missing.
However, this power is unstable. Thoughts pulled without balance can scatter, leaving the mind fractured or hollow. Even in careful hands, the extracted ideas can be lost forever once unanchored.
Diverging Hook in Bonnie Robertson’s Quest
On Day 9, if you denied Bonnie Corvan’s Might earlier, she arrives with a ransom note and your cat in her grasp. You are forced into a choice: surrender Corvan’s Might or wield the Diverging Hook.
Using the Diverging Hook does not satisfy her demands, but it lets you peel away the truth you need—finding out where Juniper is without giving up your powerful relic. This option risks damaging her mind, but it spares you from parting with Corvan’s Might.
Thaumic Structure of the Hook
The Diverging Hook is forged with a gemstone from each of the three Thaumic branches. This construction gives it balance, making it capable of anchoring thought across multiple planes of mind.
Its design reflects its function: sharp enough to extract, balanced enough to keep control, yet fragile enough to leave ruin if misused.
Final Blurb
The Diverging Hook in Strange Antiquities is both a lifeline and a weapon. It lets you bypass Bonnie Robertson’s demand for Corvan’s Might while exposing Juniper’s location. Yet every use risks destroying a mind forever. Whether you wield it carefully or avoid it, the Diverging Hook is a relic that proves knowledge always comes at a cost.
