		+	{{flavour\|An adamantine great sword. Its first wielder was a worshipper of Yredelemnul who eschewed the use of magic in combat, preferring to destroy her enemies with brute force. Unfortunately for her, not all of her opponents shared her limitations.}}

		+	[[File:Sword_of_the_dread_knight.png]] '''''the +13 sword of the Doom Knight'''''
		+
		+	+13 [[great sword]]
		+
		+	Dread brand - deals up to 10% (avg. 5%) of the defender's max health in damage, weighted towards the average, which cannot be resisted by any means.<br>
		+	[[Will]]+<br>
		+	It has a 1% chance of [[silence\|silencing]] you when hit (*Silence)<br>
		+	[[Drain]]s the user on unequip (^Drain)
		+
		+	==Desirability==
		+	The '''sword of the Dread Knight''' has a great enchantment level and brand, decent base type, and the Will+ is nice too. However, the *Silence is a massive downside - it can prevent you from using [[scroll]]s and [[god]] abilities when you most need them. The ^Drain also discourages you from unequipping it when you're in danger or need to escape. Therefore, it is often outclassed by a mundane [[triple sword]] of [[flaming]] or [[freezing]].
		+
		+	The Doom brand is unaffected by the damage of your hits, similar to [[electrocution]], [[pain]], etc., so your damage rating isn't as important as with other brands.
		+	*Against some of the beefier late game enemies like [[orbs of fire]] and [[juggernaut]]s, Doom does an average of 10 damage per hit.
		+	*Against [[iron golem]]s, it deals an average of 20 damage, and against [[Antaeus]], the healthiest enemy, it averages 45.
		+	*Doom starts to outdamage electrocution at 70 real HP.
		+
		+	Overall, this weapon will outdamage regular two-handed swords and deals irresistible damage, but another weapon is often preferred to avoid *Silence.
		+
		+	==History==
		+	*Prior to [[0.34]], this item was named the '''sword of the Doom Knight'''; it was renamed to account for the [[Doom]] mechanic.
		+	Prior to [[0.33]], the sword of the Doom Knight had -Cast, which prevented spellcasting entirely, instead of Silence.
		+	*The sword of the Doom Knight was re-added in [[0.32]] with a new brand.
		+	*In [[0.19]], this great sword was removed. The old version had the [[pain brand]] and lacked ^Drain.
