Ritual Knife

The ritual knife is a weapon in Fallout 3: Point Lookout add-on.

Characteristics
The ritual knife is used by the swampfolk in rituals. It can be repaired with knives as well as the Slasher knife and Ant's Sting. This weapon, along with the atomic pulverizer, has a high rate of attack and the second lowest AP cost in the game -- the lowest is the toy knife, but that weapon is less useful than the ritual knife due to its very low item HP, its lower damage and its lower critical hit multiplier.

Variants

 * Knife
 * Ant's Sting - Obtained by siding with the AntAgonizer in The Superhuman Gambit, Ant's Sting is slightly stronger than the regular Knife, and deals poison damage over time.
 * Slasher Knife - Appears in Tranquility Lane and can only be obtained outside of the simulation through console commands.
 * Toy Knife (Point Lookout add-on) - Using even less AP than the Ritual Knife (10 instead of 12) the Toy Knife uses the lowest amount of AP for any weapon in Fallout 3. However, it does very little damage, much less than the regular Knife.

Location
The ritual knife is found in the caves beneath the Ritual Site, stuck in a skull on the sacrificing table near The Krivbeknih, after beginning the quest The Dark Heart of Blackhall (the cave's entrance is sealed until you start the quest).

Bugs

 * Sometimes the knife will have "sunk" into the table or the body. It can be freed by explosives. Listen for the metallic clang to know if you have successfully freed the knife.
