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.

Notes[]

  • Stimpaks surrounding the remains where the knife is found suggest the victim was kept alive as long as possible while being violently disfigured.
  • One of Jaime Palabras' holotapes found in the Dunwich Building speaks of a "sharp knife" used to "send him to deep temple."
  • This particular ritual blade appears to be merely a standard kitchen knife used for ritual purposes. Ritual and/or cult daggers elsewhere in the series, such as Kremvh's Tooth or the Cult of the Mothman's cultist daggers, appear to be more unique in their design and composition.
