The dagger can be purchased from the Town of Veros, a short trip to the right from the starting town of Jova, for 50 hearts. It does twice the damage of the regular whip. It only travels a short distance, but it flies a bit farther than a whip which makes it useful for striking enemies which lie just out of reach.

The Mystic Flame is hidden, buried in a wall found along Dabi's Path. When you throw it, it follows the same trajectory as the Holy Water. However, when it lands, a pillar of flame explodes from the ground for a short period of time. Hitting an enemy with the flame causes seven points of damage, with an additional seven points done as long as the enemy is exposed to the flame, which has the additional effect of freezing the enemy in place.

This is the very knife used by Death itself to slay the living. If you want it, you'll have to defeat Death in Braham Mansion and take the knife from it. It doesn't pass through enemies as the Silver Knife does, but it erupts in a ball of fire when it strikes an enemy. The knife does 15 points of damage, and the resulting flame continues to inflict 15 points of damage to an enemy that is caught in it. Using this knife is quite costly at 2 hearts consumed per use. | This is the very knife used by Death itself to slay the living.
