The Dagger of Brutus is a legendary dagger that is available in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, obtained along with the Armor that Marcus Junius Brutus had worn during his time. It has been stated to be the same weapon that Marcus used to kill Gaius Julius Caesar.
Having this special weapon equipped will strike fear into the hearts of civilians, and will make guards flee faster from fights, mainly due to its brutal kill animations. It is the best short blade weapon in the game, with complete 5-star stats.
The dagger's kill animations are unique because they differ from those of other short blade weapons. Certain examples are the bone breaking move of the other short blades being replaced by several vicious stabs, and a move involving stabbing the opponent in the chest, then again in the back, before tossing the corpse aside (similar to some of the multiplayer unique kills).
The dagger is unlocked and made useable by collecting all the Keys of Romulus from the different Lairs of Romulus, and will be found in the same locked room as the Armor of Brutus.
Trivia
- The Dagger of Brutus is modeled after a Roman Pugio, a type of dagger used as a secondary weapon by Roman soldiers during the 1st Century AD.
- If Ezio Auditore wields the Dagger of Brutus, this reduces enemy morale by 20.
