Megabonk has no shortage of valuable items to look out for when opening shrines or accessing the Shop, and one of the most coveted among them is Joe’s Dagger. This legendary, golden-tier item is highly sought after for good reason; it’s one of the strongest items in the game. However, obtaining it can be a grind, especially for players without the right setup or luck.
Here’s a quick guide on how to get Joe’s Dagger.
How to Unlock Joe’s Dagger in Megabonk
Joe’s Dagger is a legendary item, which means unlocking it isn’t that easy at all. This involves killing thousands of enemies, and if you’re new to the game, and want to unlock Joe’s Dagger as fast as possible. Prepare yourself for the grind.
Looking at the quest, this says “Kill 10,000 enemies using the Dexecutioner.” If you think 10,000 enemies is too much, wait until you find out that the Dexecutioner isn’t unlocked right off the bat as well. The Dexecutioner can only be obtained after killing 12,500 enemies using the Sword weapon. So in total, you’ll have to kill 22,500 enemies using the said weapons, which may take lots of runs. Exhausting, honestly.
After unlocking the Dexecutioner, we recommend using Bandit as this is his primary weapon.
Now, after successfully killing 10,000 enemies using Dexecutioner, you can now head to the “Unlocks” and unlock Joe’s Dagger using Silver Coins.
How does Joe’s Dagger work in Megabonk?
Joe’s Dagger has two functions. First, it has a 1% chance to execute an enemy, much like the Dexecutioner. Executing an enemy essentially one-shots them, which is a huge advantage. However, this effect does not apply to bosses.
For its second effect, each execution increases your damage by 1%.
While 1% may seem small and barely noticeable in the early game, it scales quickly once you’re facing thousands of enemies, allowing your damage to ramp up at an insane pace.
