Sketch image

Marux Amanth is a soulbound dagger in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. It can only be bound to a Paladin, Priest, or Rogue.

Description

Base

This bronze blade, the length of your forearm and significantly sharper, doesn't seem at all tarnished or dulled by its age. A vein of adra runs its length, from the pommel through the grip and almost to the tip. It pulses faintly. You located this dagger in the depths of Poko Kahara, where the murals suggested it was a sacrificial tool of ancient Engwith. It whispers its name to you. "The Dead Soul."

Level 1

Caima accepts what comes next. They all do, of course - to an extent. Caima, though, she truly believes. A thousand thousand horrors fill this world, wonderful and terrible. Only Engwith remains steadfast against the storm. Only Engwith meets madness with reason. Only Engwith, Caima whispers, as the knife falls.

Level 2

Koisos understands the process. Incision and excision, nothing simpler. Growth without guidance has for too long defined this wilderness. The world requires cultivation. Do not stare numbly into the darkness. Strike a light. The instrument warms, ready. The device wakes. The gardener signals. The knife falls.

Level 3

It is finished. They have risen, birthed into being by our worthy sacrifices, idols made real. Now comes our true test, which is nothing less than total supplication before our creations. None must know of our guiding hand in their genesis. To that end, more blood will be spilled.

Acquisition

• Engwithan waystation level two: The room in the southeast has some barrels against the wall. Once destroyed, the wall to the next room opens and this weapon can be found there.

Soulbound upgrades

Notes

Upgrading the Marux Amanth can be easily achieved by throwing immolator bombs. The weapon doesn't seem too picky about fire damage sources.
