Devilsknife

From Deltarune Wiki

TAKE ME AND DO YOUR STRONGEST---!

Jevil, Chapter 1

The Devilsknife (JP: デビルズナイフ) is an axe-type weapon that can be found during Chapter 1 of Deltarune. It is obtained after defeating Jevil via FIGHTing. If Jevil is defeated by ACTing, the Jevilstail is obtained instead. Devilsknives in Jevil's fight appear as large scythes with yellow bells at the end, and a spiral purple and green handle.

The Devilsknife can only be equipped to Susie, and gives +5 AT, +4 Magic, and the Buster TP DOWN ability, which reduces Rude Buster's TP cost by 10%. It is the best weapon available for Susie in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.

As implied in Chapter 4's sermon scene, its Light World counterpart is the Joker Card.

Flavor text

  • Let the games begin! [When equipping it to Susie]
  • It's too, um, evil. [When attempting to equip it to Ralsei]
  • ...? It smiled at me? [When attempting to equip it to Noelle]

Trivia

  • Despite its name suggesting it is a knife, its appearance is closer to that of a scythe. Checking the item reveals that it is in fact a scythe-ax hybrid.
  • Jevil's dialogue after beating him by fighting, "TAKE ME AND DO YOUR STRONGEST!", and the fact that he turns into Devilsknife in-battle suggest that the Devilsknife is actually Jevil himself. This is further implied by a hidden scene in Chapter 3 where Spamton manifests from the Dealmaker or PuppetScarf.
    • An unused recruitment entry in Chapter 2 states that "he became DEVILSKNIFE to the pocket".[1]
  • The Jevilstail and Devilsknife cannot be sold. In Chapter 1, shopkeepers react to them like empty inventory slots.[2] In Chapter 2, shopkeepers instead have unique dialogue refusing to purchase them. This also applies to Spamton NEO's items as well as the Manual.
  • If the Devilsknife is equipped while fighting Tasque Manager, she comments on it,[3] implying she recognizes it as Jevil and has met him before.
  • Susie's text when equipping it quotes Jevil's encounter text.
  • While normally it is only possible to own one copy of either the Devilsknife or the Jevilstail via standard gameplay, it is possible to obtain one Devilsknife and two Jevilstails via a glitch.[4]
