[[File:Trident_of_the_octopus_king.png]] '''''the +8 trident of the Octopus King'''''

+8 [[trident]]

[[Venom]] [[brand]]<br>
[[Electricity resistance|rElec]]<br>
[[Poison resistance|rPois]]

==Desirability==
The '''trident of the Octopus King'''<ref>{{source ref|0.29.0|art-data.txt|595}}</ref> is a solid early-game weapon: it carries a decent brand, two useful resistances, and a high enchantment. Unfortunately, its damage output is a little low for the late game, especially considering the number of enemies with poison resistance and/or high HP later on. It might be a decent swap item if you suddenly find yourself in dire need of [[electricity resistance|electricity]] or [[poison resistance]], but most Polearm specialists will want to upgrade to a stronger weapon with a more powerful brand around the mid-game.

Although it's unlikely to make a major difference, each [[ring of the Octopus King]] you wear while wielding this trident increases its enchantment by +2, up to a theoretical (but extraordinarily difficult to achieve) maximum of +24.<ref>{{source ref|0.29.0|art-func.h|1148}}</ref>

This artefact is more likely to spawn in the early game, where it is more likely to be useful.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.28]], the trident of the Octopus King provided +40 [[willpower]] and was not weighted to appear early on.
*Prior to [[0.19]], the bonus from the rings of the Octopus King was +1 each.
*Prior to [[0.15]], the trident of the Octopus King had an enchantment of +10, +4, and rings of the Octopus King had no effect upon it.
