Wicked Hook is a unique knife.

Description

Wicked Hook is a rather unremarkable knife with reduced precision, however it allows the player to use the Cut-Throat ability without being hidden from target in stealth or target being incapacitated and regardless of the positioning, at the cost of decreasing the bleeding damage by half.

Location

Can be found in the Foundry in the pig pens behind the Messer's shop. 7 effective Agility is required to climb over the fence to get inside, or enough stealth to walk past Messer without attracting attention (the door is not locked). Messer can also be lured outside with noise, allowing to open the door to the pen while he's not watching.
