I am sure most of you have heard this already, but for those who haven't and wonder why the ogre slaying knife was even made, heres why.

Ogre slaying knife is a tribute to a playstation 2 game called "The summoner", which IMO is the greatest ps2 rpg made, despite it was made in the first year of PS2's release.

If you press like x or something during the intro or menu or whatnot, you'll be taken to a cinematic with some of the characters (including a guard from red faction, as both games are made from volition) all playing a game of table top D&D. Eventually after some arguing and whatnot over a mordenkainen spell, one of the characters, a giant monster, asks where the cheetos and mountain dew is (ahh yes I have many memories of doing this as well

). Afterwards a wizard and an elf are surrounded by ogres, the monster speaks up "Ogres? Man, I got an ogre slaying knife, it's got a +9 against ogres"

DM replies "You're not there, your getting drunk!"

monster replies "Ok, but if theres any girls there, I wanna do them!"

And there ya go

the reason behind the ogre slaying knife.

The actual cinematic can also be seen on Ifilms.com Just do a search in there for summoner or summoner geeks or something like that.

Guess what? It's not from Summoner.

It's just an old, old sketch done by the Dead Alewives. It's popped up in several places since then--including Summoner.

still a crap pointless drop especially after 2 hours in tombs trying to get a proper green weapon

Anyone else noticed what else in tombs is from that video?
Didn't really notice myself until someone else called the boss that he was attacking the other day " I'm Attacking The Darkness"

Have to give Anet credit they do slip in some pretty funny stuff from time to time.....

This is true, please edit your main post or something so that credit can be given to the proper people, thanks.

When I first heard about it, I thought it might have been a tool for slaying ETTINS, not to mention that it would look totally badass, with built in brass knuckles and a serrated blade...Instead we get an unsaturated grim cesta.

The knife may have some use.

Knife + Illusionary Weaponry = Slight pwnage? Fast atk rate, so it's possible. A friend of mine recently did some significant dmg with that combined with the knife.

LOL good times! That video is sweet, and this observation you made, well that made me laugh. Good one ANet

Faer · Feb 02, 2006, 08:42 PM // 20:42

I remember that... I just laughed my head off at it again though. Funny stuff indeed

Good times, good times...

Here's the 8-Bit version, same audio, different look.

Former Ruling · Feb 02, 2006, 10:15 PM // 22:15

Nothing beats the original Dead Alewives version.

8-Bit DnD has a better view of the knife. I'ma DnD hore so anything I like in 8-bit == godly. SirJackassIII has the link 2 above me if you havn't seen the 8-bit ver.

Same attack rate as a sword or axe, therefore: Same DPS.
