Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)
Fist of the Mountain is the longest name of a combat item in the game with 17 letters. It shares this feature with Seal of the Open Mind and Fist of the Crucible. However, it only has 4 words, when compared with the seal’s 5, so one might argue that it would make it the second longest name along with Fist of the Crucible.
- Although Fist of the Mountain is only useful during early game, because it exists, Ranger has one more gear than other javelins.
- Gears are the only combat items that share their base design with their upgraded design.
