How to get the Ceremonial Dagger in Dark and Darker

The Ceremonial Dagger is a regular loot item that can be sold to the Collector. But, most importantly, it is an item required to complete the Treasurer‘s quest, Ceremonial Secret. The items have proven quite challenging to find, and players have been struggling to complete the quest, which requires five Ceremonial Daggers of any rarity to be delivered.

To find them, all you need to do is load up a game either in Normals or High-Roller (depending on your preference and Legendary status) and open any and all chests you come across. I’ve noticed that Ceremonial Daggers tend to appear in chests in The Ice Cavern most often, but the Howling Cripts also tend to spawn them from time to time.

This is a rare item, and you will not come across it too often, so be prepared to take some time completing the Treasurer’s quest. If you do happen upon them I suggest extracting as soon as possible to ensure you deliver at least one Dagger at a time and don’t waste the rare drop.

What I also suggest is drinking a Luck Potion and equipping Luck-enchanted gear to boost your item-searching ability. However, this may have a negative effect as well due to Luck diminishing poor-quality drops that most Ceremonial Daggers in Normal mode appear to spawn as.
