Where to find

• Shattered Sanctum X: 338 Y: -26: Near  Abdirak or carried by him

Notes

• Depending on when the party members arrive, Abdirak may be carrying it, or it may be on the table or the floor near him.
• Both effects of this weapon grant the condition  The Pain Maiden's Blessing, which is equivalent to a 1-turn duration  Bless for the wielder. It does not stack with other conditions with the same stack ID as Bless or with itself.
• In comparison to the  Ritual Axe, the self-damage caused by Blood Sacrifice is not magical, so it can be reduced even by non-magical damage reduction effects like  Heavy Armour Master.

Bugs

Regarding The Pain Maiden's Blessing:

• When dual-wielding the Ritual Dagger with a flail or morningstar using the  Dual Wielder feat,  Tenacity can be triggered by missing an attack with the dagger, dealing ⁠Bludgeoning damage and triggering The Pain Maiden's Blessing.
• The description of The Pain Maiden's Blessing erroneously claims that the effect lasts until the end of the next turn, but it is instead removed at the start of it.
