Silver dagger: what we know (and don't)
A key item named in public reviews. We know it is important; we do not pretend to know the exact route.
The silver dagger is a key item mentioned in public Steam reviews alongside the prison key. Its exact location and use are not verified in our sources. Treat it as irreplaceable: keep it out of the backpack, especially on prison runs.
What we know
A public review lists the silver dagger with the prison key as an example of an important item that can be lost if a backpack bug triggers. That is the strongest available signal: it is a quest/key item, not a disposable weapon. Patch 1.0.47.0 fixes several item-loss paths, but the safe habit is unchanged.

How to handle it
- Pick it up when you find it. Do not leave a key item behind to save a slot.
- Keep it in your normal inventory, not the backpack. The backpack is the bag that drops on death.
- Do not drop it to make room for loot. Loot is replaceable; a key item may not be.
- Return to camp if you are full. A safe deposit is better than a risky carry.
The silver dagger is named in public Steam reviews as a key item that can be lost with the prison key. We have not verified its location, use or ending requirement. Do not treat this page as a walkthrough coordinate.
If it goes missing
Public reviews from the launch build describe soft-locks caused by lost key items. Patch 1.0.47.0 addresses several loss paths, including backpacks and death packs sinking in water. If you are on the current build and still missing the dagger, check whether it is in a death pack or a backpack you left behind, then report the exact steps and patch number to the developer and to our correction page.
