A good weapon if you find it early on where its properties can be a lifesaver. Unfortunately, its to-damage enchantment is generally too low for the later game. Good to keep as a swap if you encounter early monsters capable of [[banishment]], as most of those are also pretty flimsy.

Desirability

The trident of the Octopus King is an excellent weapon if you find it early on, as it carries a decent brand, three useful resistances, and solid enchantments. Unfortunately, its damage output is a little low for the late game, and its brand is useless against demons and undead. Even so, it's a decent swap item if you suddenly find yourself suddenly in dire need of electricity or magic resistance.

In spite of the flavour text, there is no risk involved with possession of this artefact.
