Ceremonial Dagger (Risk of Rain 2)

Not to be confused with the first game's version, the Ceremonial Dagger.

The Ceremonial Dagger is a returning Rare item in Risk of Rain 2.

When the player kills an enemy, 3 (plus 3 per stack) homing dagger-projectiles spawn on the enemy's corpse and strike other enemies for ~150% damage in a large range, functioning like missiles. If they have no target, they'll become inert after a few seconds. Since all the enemies killed by the daggers spawn more projectiles, this item can create a cascading effect that kills entire groups of weaker foes in seconds.

Visually, the Ceremonial Dagger adds an extra arm holding a dagger to the player's right shoulder.

It is notable that the daggers can apply on-hit effects such as the Sticky Bomb.
