The Answerer has a speed factor of 9, which makes it the slowest weapon with +4 enchantments and the slowest 1-hander, this is compensated by its powerful on-hit abilities specially useful against tougher foes and bosses.

It is made of silver and cold iron as such able to hit the stronger Werewolves, however this is not useful in BG2 content: No creatures exist that have natural immunities involving silver or cold iron. There is one item that grants immunity to anything not cold iron[1], however it is not referenced in the game.

Equipped Abilities:

  • Each hit lowers the target's Magic Resistance by 15% for 4 rounds (bypass MR, no save)
  • *Each hit penalizes the target's Armor Class by 2 for 4 rounds (bypass MR, no save)

Acquisition[]

Description

The Answerer

The last swing of a battle is more important than the first. Such is the philosophy embodied in this powerful weapon. Although the strange design of the Answerer makes it difficult to take the initiative in combat, with each hit it makes an opponent more vulnerable to subsequent attacks.
