The Orcrist is a chaotically aligned elven broadsword. It is one of two artifacts in the game that can be created by #name-ing them. To do so type in #name, select a normal elven broadsword, and name it Orcrist. To make sure you did it correctly, you may now try to name the sword into something completely different – all artifacts resist naming. The Orcrist gives a +d5 to hit and double damage against all orcs.

In previous versions

In Hack 1.0 and Hack 1.0.1, any weapon can be named Orcrist and do extra damage against orcs; there can even be more than one Orcrist.

Hack 1.0.2 restricted this advantage to two-handed swords. Other weapons could still be named Orcrist, but would do no extra damage.

Orcrist became an elven broadsword in NetHack 3.1.0.
