Sculker's Bane

Sculker's Bane is a unique melee weapon — a deadly dagger with a soul-infused edge. Its effect is simple and powerful for the right build: soul attacks deal 20% more damage.

The frame is minimal: one swing, one hit, 25 damage, 15 stagger, 2.8-block reach and a gentle 500 knockback. Light weight and the Mage + Trickster archetype make it a dagger for casters and skirmishers rather than frontline brawlers — the damage comes from what you do with souls, not the swing itself.

It is the unique roll of the Twilight Dagger, dropping in Howling Woods, The Deep Dark and Rainy Plains, or as a quest reward. It already has a named endgame home: the "Sculker's Bane Lightning Surge dagger" build (tier A, by mintybruhh), which stacks its soul damage bonus with fast lightning procs.

Any player running a soul-gathering or soul-spending build should treat this as a chase item. Farm Twilight Daggers wherever they fall and hope for the unique roll — few weapons reward soul builds this directly.

The single-swing, single-hit pattern makes every attack predictable, which suits players who weave artifact casts between strikes. Keep farming Twilight Daggers in its three regions — the soul-boosting unique roll is worth the hunt.
