| A large two-handed war axe with a formidable double-sided head, designed for use in battle by skilled warriors.
"On Carian coins, indeed of quite late date, the labrys, set up on its long, pillar-like handle, with two dependent fillets, has much the appearance of a cult image. -Sir Arthur John Evans, "Mycenean tree and pillar cult and its Mediterranean relations," _Journal of Hellenic Studies_ XXI, p. 109. 1901. |
This weapon falls into the 'Axes' category. It is a two handed weapon, and it is best used by the strong.
Battleaxes are large and powerful two-handed weapons; though not as overwhelming as an executioner's axe, they are much easier to find, require less skill to wield effectively, and still deal very respectable damage in the early- and mid-game. Unless you find an excellent randart one, however, you'll want to eventually upgrade.
Like all the axes, this weapon allows the player to cleave.
