Description[]
Funke is an NPC who acts as both progression for the Silentheart Oath and the Thundercall trainer.
In order to obtain Thundercall, you must bring 5 Spark Glands to Funke (2 if you have already obtained the attunement). Alternatively, if you have obtained the Silentheart Oath, you must kill them in order to get one of five Oath Talents. They are found at the 2nd floor of the Summer Isle's castle inside the alchemy room.

Tips[]
- Funke is the only trainer to be a percieved "threat" due to his ability to use decent Thundercall moves.
- Fight Funke on the balcony next to the room he is in, unless getting Silentheart at max level.
- Heavy Users: M1, feint, critical, repeat. This will stunlock him. This is the Duke effect. On vent, feint the air. He'll try to parry. If he doesn't, hit him anyways. He will either block or parry, and you'll be able to start the combo again
- Fist Users: Fight him like you would an enforcer.
- His critical should be avoided at all costs.
Trivia[]
- Both he and Nell wear the Black Diver outfit. According to Arch_Mage, they are most likely Black Divers.[1]
- If they are indeed Divers, this would make him and Nell the oldest, physically, known Divers, as they are the only Divers with wrinkles.
- Funke is the German word for "spark".
- He did not wield the Stormseye, after its addition in the 6/5/2023 update, despite both being at Summer Isle and it being a Thundercall based weapon. This was finally corrected in the 11/10/2023 update, a staggering five months later.[2]
- This is most likely due to the laziness of the Developers, as the Stormseye was added after his Enemy variant was.
- Arch_Mage stated the reason was rifles not being coded for NPCs, but this was incorrect.
- This is most likely due to the laziness of the Developers, as the Stormseye was added after his Enemy variant was.
