As compared to a +6 [[triple sword]] of [[flaming]], this sword has lower base damage but will do more damage from its brand. It will do slightly more damage against foes with rF+, but less against non-resistant foes or ones with rF++ and above. Still, in general, this sword is more often carried as a prize than actually used, since most characters who can defeat Cerebov already have their endgame weapons.

A twisted blade, covered in eerie flames. Its demonic power burns away some of the fire resistance of those it strikes.

Evil

The sword of Cerebov is 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

In general, this sword is more often carried as a prize than actually used, since most characters who can defeat Cerebov already have their endgame weapons.

History

The sword of Cerebov was upgraded significantly in 0.13. Its base type was originally a great sword (which had one less base accuracy and damage), and its special effect only ignored fire resistance when calculating the sword's own damage.
