*When infused: 80 physical dmg/80 elemental dmg and B scaling with chosen element. Dex scaling changes to C.
Work Hook is a Fist Weapon and one of the available Weapons in Dark Souls 2. Work Hook is known for its unique potential when infused with mundane. The mundane infusion significantly increases its strength. When infused with Bleed, its performance is comparable to the Bandit's Knife and default Claws. Equipping it in an active slot boosts Dexterity by 5 but decreases Adaptability by 3.
A hook that covers the hand.
Clearly not intended as a weapon, but certainly sharp enough to shred an enemy's skin.
How to get Work Hook in Dark Souls 2
- Dropped by a Mimic in Earthen Peak, in a room filled with poison urns.
DS2 Work Hook Hints & Tips
- By using mundane on this weapon it will definitely become stronger, unless your lowest stat is 1. (mundane scales based on your lowest stat, for each point under 20 is 6 damage added to 1/2 of base damage) So at +0 with 2 being your lowest stat you'll have 22+62 damage, therefore, this is a mundane dedicated weapon.
- if you infused it with Bleed, the result is close to Bandit's Knife and default Claws, but with less physical damage.
- When equipped in an active slot, increases Dexterity by 5, but decreases Adaptability by 3.
- Apparently the work hook degrades enemies equipment. (needs testing)

"When equipped in an active slot, increases Dexterity by 5, but decreases Adaptability by 3." No in-game info about that.

Mimic caught me by surprise, since it was the first in the game. Actually would've fallen for it if I hadn't accidentally hit the chest while clearing the bugs. Still ended up killed by it... though the poison urns it smashed killed it too, right after I died. Hook despawned, so it looks like I'll never get it :(

Perfect for all of my fellow weirdos looking to do either pirate cosplay's, or just looking to*****around with bleed builds. >:D

Would love to play around with it if it wasn't for the -3 ADP

Wish it could be used for parrying, then it would be more useful in the offhand.
