You can get the Retribution Stone early by traveling from Marrow Keep to Widow’s Overlook, starting the trial at the stone obelisk north of the beacon, defeating every enemy wave, then interacting with the obelisk again to claim the Support Tarstone.
The Retribution Stone is a fixed early-game reward built around a short beacon trip and a contained combat trial. You can collect it while still at a low level, provided you can handle the spectral enemies surrounding the obelisk.

What the Retribution Stone does
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Item type | Support Tarstone |
| Main effect | Increases Riposte damage by 10% at Level 1 |
| Early location | North of Widow’s Overlook Beacon |
| Reward source | Stone obelisk trial |
The Retribution Stone favors players who regularly land Ripostes. Its bonus makes each successful counterattack more damaging, giving a Riposte-focused setup an immediate offensive boost without changing ordinary weapon damage.

Route from Marrow Keep to Widow’s Overlook
From the Marrow Keep Beacon, travel upward through the keep and enter the circular chamber leading to the roof. The glowing portal sits on the upper platform and carries you directly across the region to Widow’s Overlook Beacon.

Equip Retribution Stone in a Support slot
Equipped Tarstones gain experience as you play, and the Level 1 panel shows 10,000 XP toward the next upgrade. After giving Franz the Etching Needle, you can use the Tarforge in Marrow Keep to upgrade eligible Tarstones by spending coins.
Retribution Stone compatibility and upgrade values
Compatibility depends on the slot type. Retribution Stone is a Support Tarstone and can be equipped in a Support slot; it is not tied to a specific list of weapons. Check the weapon’s Tarstone panel to confirm that an available Support slot is present before planning a setup around it.
Later Riposte percentage tiers can differ between game builds. Use the upgrade values displayed in your current Tarstone panel before investing XP and coins at the Tarforge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Retribution Stone missable?
No. Tarstones remain collectible during free-roam after the final boss, before you choose to enter New Game+.
Does the Retribution Stone work automatically after pickup?
No. Picking it up adds it to your Tarstone collection, but its Riposte bonus only applies after you assign it to a compatible weapon’s Support slot.
