Weapons

Weapons are items the players can use to damage monsters. They come in a number of varieties, each of which having their own benefits and drawbacks.

TaskMaker[]

Melee weapons[]

Melee weapons allow players to attack any creatures next to themselves. They include swords, axes, maces, and other implements. The general progression in strength corresponds often to the value of the metal, with a generic sword being a starting weapon, followed by a silver sword, gold sword, etc. There are also weapons that break this mold, such as the silver broad sword or Vorpal Blade.

Below is a list of the melee weapons available to the player in the game.

Swords[]

In most cases swords are single handed weapons. A few notable swords include the Vorpal Blade, which can be found behind the TaskMaker's inner Sanctum, and the Silver Broadsword, which is gifted to the player early on.

Hammers[]

Hammers are notable in that you can throw them as well as attack directly. When they hit, they will fall to the ground in front of the monster they hit if thrown. Picking it up or grasping it will cause it to be returned to the character's hand. A notable example is Chris' Hammer, which can be obtained early in the game.

Ranged Weapons[]

Ranged weapons allow players to attack an enemy at a distance or at point blank, but can only fire in a single direction. They include bows, wands, and similar ranged weapons.

Different ranged weapons will have different behaviors. For example, a dagger is a weapon that can be used as both a melee weapon or a ranged weapon, but upon throwing it, it will fall to the ground in front of the monster it hit. If it falls into water, it is lost forever. Wands have limited uses, and while doing massive amounts of damage in comparison with normal weapons, will be used up after a few charges. Bows can fire infinitely, not requiring ammunition, but often require two hands. Boomerangs and certain hammers can also be thrown or used in melee, much like the dagger, but upon a successful hit, will return to the player.

Below is a list of ranged weapons available to the player:

Slings[]

Boomerang[]

Can be thrown and will always return to the player. When thrown at a monster, if it misses, it continues past the monster until it reaches its return point and starts returning to the player. If it hits a monster, the boomerang begins returning. If the boomerang missed a monster that is in its return trajectory, another chance to hit is calculated.
There is a powerful boomerang in the castle hall.
