Sword of cerebov.png A great serpentine sword

+6, +6 modified great sword (17 damage, -2 accuracy, 160% speed)

Flaming brand
Inflicts rF- on hit
Evil

The fixedart great sword wielded by the unique Pandemonium lord Cerebov. Foes struck by the sword temporarily have their fire resistance reduced by one, which can make even fire-immune enemies vulnerable.

Desirability

It will do more fire damage to creatures than any other weapon, but at high skill levels, a well-branded and enchanted triple sword will outperform it. More often carried as a prize than actually used, as most characters who can defeat Cerebov already have their endgame weapons.

History

In 0.13 the rF- mechanic was added; before the sword only reduced fire immunity on its own hits. It was also a plain greatsword instead of a slightly enhanced (plus one damage and accuracy) one.
