Dragon Age: Origins - Return to Ostagar

Duncan's Dagger is a dagger in Dragon Age: Origins. It requires the Return to Ostagar DLC.

Acquisition Edit

It can be looted from the corpse of the Risen Ogre that killed King Cailan in the final fight of the DLC.

It is likely that this is one of the daggers given to Duncan along with Gift of the Grey from his Warden-Commander Genevieve in the book The Calling, as emphasized by its additional damage to dragons as in the book, Duncan helps to slay a High dragon with his daggers.
It is possible to upgrade Duncan's dagger by leaving it in the Party Storage Chest (Warden's Keep DLC) or by selling it to Mikhael Dryden.
Duncan's Dagger will import over to Awakening.
The image depicts this dagger on Red Steel (tier 5) material and the value listed on the page is about this material as well.

Despite various cut scenes where Duncan's weapons seems to change models, when equipped this item has the standard iron dagger model.
