Dolor Amarus

For the passive feature, see Dolor Amarus (passive feature).

Dolor Amarus is a rare +2 dagger that deals 7 additional damage on a critical hit.

Once wielded by a murderer, the weapon's handle retains an eerie, clammy warmth, as if Dolor's pre-slaughter sweat somehow crept into the leather - and lingers there still.

Where to find

• Highberry's Home X: 20 Y: -34: Carried by  Dolor
• Murder Tribunal X: -1263 Y: 511: Sold by  Echo of Abazigal

Notes

• If Dolor is not killed at Highberry's Home, he can later be found at the Facemaker's Boutique.
• The player character can only purchase Dolor Amarus from the Echo of Abazigal if they accept becoming an Unholy Assassin of ⁠Bhaal (however, it can also be acquired through an exploit – see notes on the Echo of Abazigal's page for details).

Regarding Dolor Amarus (passive feature):

• Dolor Amarus applies to all weapon attacks while a weapon with the feature is equipped, and it can be activated multiple times if multiple weapons with the passive are equipped. For example, if both  Dolor Amarus daggers are equipped – or one dagger and the  Vicious Battleaxe on a character with  Dual Wielder – together with the  Vicious Shortbow, when the wielder lands a critical hit, then +21 damage will be added, instead of +7.
• Dolor Amarus also stacks on multiple damage riders, which could potentially lead to massive bonuses from different damage sources.
• The name dolor amarus is Latin for "harsh suffering" or "bitter sorrow".

Bugs

• Dolor Amarus is missing a WPN_DAGGER tag in its root template, and as such does not function with  Bladesong.

Regarding Dolor Amarus (passive feature):

• Despite the description, Dolor Amarus does not deal an additional 7 damage on unarmed attack critical hits (including  Throw attacks).
