The ritual knife is a unique knife in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

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, the common variant.
  • Ant's Sting, a stronger knife that deals poison damage over time
  • Slasher knife, an incredibly powerful knife only used in Tranquility Lane.
  • Toy knife Point LookoutGametitle-FO3 PL, a knife with the lowest amount of AP for any weapon in Fallout 3. However, it does very little damage, much less than the regular knife.
