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.

Notes
- Upgrading Marux Amanth with Sacrifice can be easily achieved by throwing Immolators, as the weapon isn't too picky about fire damage sources.
Trivia
- A further soulbound upgrade is defined in the game files, adding Ultimate Sacrifice as an upgrade to Worthy Sacrifice, which grants the wielder all of their class resources back upon killing a friendly or enemy character with the ability.
- If you or one of your companions have the dagger equipped when you meet Aexica in Kōhatekana Expanse, she will reach for it and claim that it was once hers.
