Find Fire Shot Magicite early in Adventures of Elliot by opening a chest in Little Hope Village, then equip it to give your bow arrows a chance to ignite enemies.
The early “fire arrows” are actually the Fire Shot Magicite — grab it from a chest in Little Hope Village, just past the magicite dealer reached from the northern gate, and equipping it gives your bow arrows a chance to set enemies on fire.
If you’ve been hunting for a “Fire Arrows” item in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and come up empty, that’s because it doesn’t exist under that name. The upgrade everyone’s after is the Fire Shot Magicite, a bow magicite you slot to make your arrows ignite targets. It’s easy to walk straight past, but it isn’t buried deep — you can pick it up fairly early in Little Hope Village.
Fire Arrows really means the Fire Shot Magicite
There’s no separate flaming-ammo stack to buy or craft here. What players call “fire arrows” is a bow magicite called Fire Shot — equip it and your normal arrows gain a chance to light enemies on fire. So if you’ve been searching shops for consumable fire ammo, stop; you’re looking for a magicite upgrade instead.

What equipping Fire Shot does to your arrows
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Item name | Fire Shot Magicite (bow magicite) |
| Location | Chest in Little Hope Village, just past the magicite dealer |
| Equip cost | Reportedly only four — a low cost (early-build figure) |
| Effect | Roughly a 20% chance to ignite arrows, plus chip damage over time (early-build figure) |
| Slot / menu | Bow magicite section |
Once it’s slotted, your arrows take on a fiery appearance and carry a chance to set whatever they hit alight, which then does chip damage over time on top of the initial hit. Early players’ numbers put that at around a 20% chance to apply fire, though that figure comes from a single early-build run and isn’t independently confirmed — treat the exact percentage as a ballpark rather than a locked-in stat.
What makes it such an easy slot decision this early is the cost. The equip cost is reportedly just four, although what that four actually represents — magicite points or slots — is ambiguous from what’s been shown, so don’t read too much into the exact number. Either way it’s a low-cost upgrade for a real boost, which is exactly why it’s worth equipping the moment you grab it. The one mechanic that’s confirmed beyond the early footage is the core idea: Fire Shot gives your arrows a chance to light targets on fire.
Equip Fire Shot from the bow magicite section the moment you grab it — picking up the chest alone does nothing until the magicite is actually slotted on your bow.
It’s lore rather than a combat upgrade, so it won’t change how your bow hits, but it’s a few steps out of the way at most. Since you’re already standing right next to it for the Fire Shot chest, grab both in one trip.
Other early bow and magicite upgrades worth chasing
The magicite dealer you passed on the way in is worth visiting often. You can pick up new upgrades there — including ones for your spear that make it noticeably stronger — and it’s also where you’ll want to keep an eye out for the guard counter for the sword. Cycling back to the dealer as you earn more magicite is a good habit early on.
Frequently Asked Questions

It gives your arrows a chance to set enemies on fire — early footage points to roughly a 20% chance — adding a fiery look and chip damage over time. With a reportedly low equip cost, it’s an easy yes this early, just remember the boost only applies once it’s slotted in your bow magicite section.
