Desirability

The big brother of the Dagger of Chilly Death, this weapon is quite decent in the early- to mid-game if you manage to find it. It's especially useful in the Lair, since it kills hydras with ease, protects against the numerous sources of poison, and protects you from the one ranged threat there, fire drakes. You will probably want to switch to something more powerful for the late game, like a bastard sword or claymore, but it can serve admirably until that point.
