The Dagger of Orkos is a weapon used by Orkos in God of War: Ascension.
Description[]
Although he never was much of a warrior himself, Orkos always carried this small dagger along with him.
After the deaths of the Furies, Kratos returned to mainland Sparta, while Orkos awaited his return. The Oath Guardian would praise Kratos' victory over the Furies but would unfortunately reveal the Furies had made him Kratos' oath-keeper once more. Despite their accomplishments, Ares would still control over both of them, unless Kratos kills Orkos.
The oath-keeper begged the Spartan to give him an honorable death and gave Kratos the small dagger he carried with him. Hesitant and reluctant of such decision, Kratos had no choice but to kill Orkos, by stabbing the oath-keeper in the stomach and thus finally freeing them from their respective bonds to Ares. Before departing, Kratos placed the corpse of Orkos inside his house and burned it down. However, Orkos' death also allowed the Ghost of Sparta's memories of the death of his family to haunt him until he seeks to remove them with the help of the Olympian Gods.
