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 a {{MFamilies}} in the [[Metal slime family]]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]].
