The '''assassin's dagger''' is a recurring [[knife]] in the {{DQSeries}}. Much like the [[poison needle]], it has a chance to instantly kill an enemy in a single strike, but it also capable of dealing normal damage as well. Unfortunately, it cannot chip away at the HP of [[Metal slime family|metal slime]]s 1 point at a time like the aforementioned dirk.

The assassin's dagger grants an attack bonus of +25, a 6.25% (1/16th) chance to instantly slay a foe, and may only be equipped by [[Mage]]s and [[Thief|Thieves]]. In the [[Super Famicom]] and [[Game Boy Color]] versions, an assassin's dagger can be found on the third [[Treasures n' Trapdoors]] track near the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] and the [[Shrine of Shackles]] in a treasure chest. In all other versions, there is only one in the game, and it can be found in the basement of [[Romaria]] Castle, behind a door locked by the [[ultimate key]].

It can be sold for 4,125 gold coins.

The assassin's dagger has an attack bonus of +30 and a style bonus of +11. It has a 12.5% chance to deal instant death to an enemy and can only be equipped by [[Maribel]]. Assassin's daggers can be purchased from various shops for 1,500 gold and sold for 750 gold. They can also be won as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]] or dropped by [[Fighting batboon]]s and [[Nail blighter]]s.

* There is a beneficial bug in the [[3DS]] remake where the instant death chance is calculated a second time after damage is displayed.

The assassin's dagger has an attack bonus of +37. It can only be equipped by [[Jessica]], as well as [[Red]] in the Nintendo 3DS version. One can be found in the [[Arcadia Region]] in a treasure chest that requires the [[Thief's Key]] to open. They can be dropped rarely by [[Anchorman|Anchormen]], [[Claws (monster)|Claws]] in the PS2 and mobile versions, [[Jackal ripper]]s, and [[Jumping jackal]]s. '''Note:''' using Jessica's Sudden Death technique when the dagger is equipped will not increase the likelihood of the skill's success, and the instant death effect is absent altogether. It can be sold for 1,250 [[Gold]] Coins. The assassin's dagger can be made in the [[Alchemy Pot]] and can be used to create an [[Imp knife]], as well.
