Katanas....

Jon Irenicus · 03-14-2003, 03:44 AM

Guys, r there any GOOD katanas in SOA? Other than the CF I mean... because I want to start a Kensai(I dont like using Spellcasters), and want to dual wield Katanas with the axe that kills Undead(forgot its name) and Skull Crusher. But I also want to dual wield Katanas... so can u guys tell me anything? Thanks..

Yes, there are good katanas, even more so if you have ToB or a few mods...

There is a Katana +2 in the game which you can gain rather soon. Next acceptable katana is, IIRC in the Asylum. Nevertheless, Celestial Fury is the only katana +3 in SoA. If we take into account that you will need +3 weapons at least often in the game, then a decision "only katanas" isn't a good idea.

I know, so I'm gonna dual wield Skull Crusher, MoD+2, A something(axe usable by good people) and Frostreaver for Trolls.

Un-modded SoA there is only Celestial Fury and Malakar +2 (Asylym, Gauntlet).

Don't know about ToB (I'm sure there are more in it)

The Tactics mod has one great katana... Sanchuudoku, an acid based katana...pretty damn powerfull...

but that one is only available if you have the Imp. Tactics Mod installed (WeiDU)

With the Imp. Items mod you can make your CF a +5 instat of a +3 weapon...

real nice.

TDD also adds a nice katana IIRC... not sure though

If you have Tob put a couple of stats in scimitar/wazakishi/ninjato. You can find some very good ones in The first city and IIRC a good one outside of watchers keep.

A katana +2 is available in the Bodhi's Lair in the plain vanilla SoA. You can gain the katana in Chapter 3, both when you side with Aran Linvail (after a fight) and when you side with Bodhi (without a fight).

Unfortunately, the game won't let you dual wield Azuredge (the axe in question) because it can be thrown also.

There is one "decent" Katana in Bodhi's Lair, a good one in Spellhold, and a great one in Diedre's store (Bonus Merchants). Apart from that, CF is the only one in SoA.

ToB brings us a good Wakizashi in Saradush, and a very nice one inside Watcher's Keep, and there's also a very nice Katana, but it's very late in the game.

Any ideas?
