When a weapon of quietus hits an enemy and the runic activates, the enemy dies. A highly enchanted dagger of quietus is one of the deadliest weapons in the game.

Pros[]

  • An axe of quietus can kill multiple enemies.
  • Can kill revenants without any magic.
  • Works regardless of the target's health.
  • Can kill enemies shielded by a spellcaster.
  • If you catch an enemy unaware, there’s a higher chance for the runic to trigger.

Cons[]

  • Quietus does not trigger a ring of transference. A golem, a walking potion of life for transference-bearers, will feed you until it “suddenly dies”.
  • Useless unless highly enchanted. (+12 rapier of quietus has 100% trigger chance)
  • You must be ready for situations when quietus does not trigger. If you have a 30% chance per hit for quietus to trigger, there is an 11% chance that quietus will not have triggered after six successive hits.
  • Does not work against inanimate foes, like turrets.
