It is a one-handed blunt/slashing weapon that uses the [[flail]] [[skill]] and is usually made out of [[iron]]. At skilled and expert it gains the hew, stunning strike, penetrate armor and bleed [[expert trait]]s.<br /> <br /> When [[applied]], the beast cutter transforms into a '''beast crusher''', which is a type of one-handed blunt/piercing weapon that is usually made out of iron. At skilled and expert it gains the hew, stunning strike and knock back expert traits.<br /> <br /> Both forms of the weapon have the [[serrated]] property that adds 20% to bonus damage made against un[[armor]]ed monsters with less than 8 [[DR]]. <br /> <br /> ==Generation==<br /> Beast crushers make up {{frac|1000}} of randomly generated weapons. Beast cutters do not randomly generate.<br /> <br /> In 90% of games, [[Undead hunter]]s will find a beast crusher in their [[quest home]] in a [[chest]] in the top-left corner of the map in a room containing a [[forge]].<br /> <br /> ==Strategy==<br /> The beast cutter is most useful early on, when it is capable of dealing extra damage against unarmored foes. Later on its damage will begin to feel lacking, as monster [[hp]] totals balloon. However, as no Undead hunter starts with it, the earliest it can be found is the quest, by which time this advantage is somewhat lessened by bigger hp totals. Generally, the weapon will find the most use there, especially if a character rushes getting to level 14 as soon as possible, and drop off in usefulness after. If properly [[Cult|culted]] and [[smithing|smithed]] to +10, it is still mostly viable, but will not really offer the same damage output as some other Undead hunter weapons.<br /> <br /> ==Messages==<br /> {{message|You lock the beast cutter.}}<br /> {{message|You unlock the beast crusher.}}<br /> <br /> ==Origins==<br /> The [https://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/Beast+Cutter Beast Cutter] is a trick weapon featured in the 2015 game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodborne Bloodborne].<br /> &lt;!-- More text here after final pass. --&gt;<br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> {{variant-343}}<br /> [[Category: dNetHack]]<br /> [[Category: notdNetHack]]<br /> [[Category: notnotdNetHack]]</div>
