This article is about the item in Pillars of Eternity. For the item in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, see Pickaxe (Deadfire).
Pickaxe is a tool in Pillars of Eternity, added in The White March - Part I expansion. It is needed for some dialog options in scripted interactions.
Description[ | ]
As common a sight among mountain travelers as miners, this humble pickaxe boasts a viciously sharp point.
Acquisition[ | ]
- Cannot be obtained in-game without the use of console commands.
Usage[ | ]
- [WM1] The Great Hall: Used to break the ice surrounding the frozen dwarf in the secret room to the northwest, giving you a Guard's Key.
- [WM1] The Mines: During the minecart interaction, it can be used to snag the lever without any checks. Typically this would require Dexterity 16 or Athletics 6.
- [WM2] West Tower Lower: Can be used in place of the Dwarven Lever while repairing the artillery lift.
- [WM2] Ionni Brathr Fragment, Cayron's Scar: After shattering the crystal with Abydon's Hammer, a pickaxe may be used to clear the rubble. Otherwise you can use a prybar, the druid ability Twin Stones, the barbarian ability Frenzy, or your bare hands.
Trivia[ | ]
- Uses the same icon as a prybar.
- While this item exists in the game files, it is not found in-game and is considered to be cut content.
- It may be used in the interactions above, but is typically not the only way to solve them, so it's presence (or lack thereof) does not severely impact the game.
