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

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 page for details.

Notes included from 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.

Bugs included from Dolor Amarus (passive feature):

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