The Handmaid's Ladle is a hammer in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- An ordinary kitchen ladle.
- He who chooses this as a weapon either faces extenuating circumstances or has an odd sense of humor. If you care for your life, leave this one in the kitchen.
Availability[]
After defeating the two Ogres on the beach in Things Betwixt, Milibeth the Housekeeper will give the player the Handmaiden's Ladle upon talking to her.
Characteristics[]
The Handmaiden's Ladle is the weakest weapon in the game, dealing very little damage and featuring no scaling. Its only benefits are its low stat requirements and how early it may be obtained. The only reasons a player may wish to obtain it are:
- Having as complete an in-game experience as possible by collecting all the items,
- Or for humorous purposes.
While unstated in the item's description, holding the Handmaiden's Ladle in hand increases Vitality and Endurance by one level and Adaptability by two, while decreasing Dexterity by one level.
It can be given some power imbued with Mundane with the correct build. To prevent breaking due to its low durability, wear the Bracing Knuckle Ring or have a stock of Repair Powder. Or ignore the durability, as only 10–20 points of damage are lost when broken.
