Where to find

Notes

  • The player character can only purchase the Vicious Battleaxe from the Echo of Abazigal if they accept becoming an Unholy Assassin of BhaalBhaal (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 WielderDual 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

Regarding Dolor Amarus (passive feature):

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