📋 About This Mod

Description

Cursed weapons from Avernus, all weapons in the mod are stronger than their mortal counterparts but it comes with a cost; all of them will damage their wielder if they don't kill with it or fulfil certain conditions.

General:

-Cursed weapons can't be disarmed.

-They can damage you if you score a critical miss with it.

-Each turn you must either kill a target with it or fulfil its Satiated condition, or take damage otherwise.

-Only one of them can be used at the same time. Note: The game won't let you equip one of them if you have one already equipped, you must first unequip it and them equip another one.

Location

All weapons can be loot in the world:

-Traitor's Edge (Uncommon Dagger): Reward from Mizora for killing Karlach. Together with the Infernal Robe.

-Putrid Flesh (Uncommon Shortsword): Chest in the hidden room in the cellar of the Toll House. Same one with the Gloves of Heroism.

-Shattered Katana (Uncommon Longsword): Chest in front of the entrance of the Arcane Tower. Same one with the Skybreaker.

-Bloodwar Greataxe (Rare Greataxe): Lava Elemental in the Adamantine Forge.

-Glacial Root (Rare Shortsword): Backpack with ritual supplies in the Grand Mausoleum.

-The Fallen's Blade (Rare Longsword): Reward from Mizora for rescuing her from the Mind Flayer Colony in Act 2, by persuading her the same way as to obtain the Infernal Rapier.

-Netherese Scepter (Very Rare Staff): Treasure pile in the House of Hope vault. Same one with the Helldusk Helmet.

-Lust Rapier (Very Rare Rapier): Looted from Harleep.

-Godslayer (Legendary Greatsword): Looted from Raphael.

As always you can use Elven Weaponry - Tutorial Chest if you want the items ASAP.

As I said, nothing of this should be needed, I update like hundreds of times while testing just overwritten the old file. But the above proccess should
