the cheese sword, is it real ? is the wikia article true ?

[Anchovy]

i wonder if this artifact is real, and if the fandom article about it is true because i've seen no screen of it , except the one on the wikia page

[Onibushi]

It's probably fake. No one has found it yet. There isn't any hint about it in the game files either.

Unfortunately no cheese sword.

[Anchovy]

oh crap.
perhaps a developer joke or only just a legend ?

[HiFive]

Maybe whoever was talking about the cheese sword meant to say "hat", instead of "sword". There is a cheese hat in the game.

seems like its real, accoring to this

Cheese Sword:
The Cheese Sword is an easter-egg item that can only be found in the Steam version of the game. The total damage output ranges from 42 damage to 142 damage, referring to the 'answer to life', a popular quote from the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . The sword belongs in a set with another easter-egg item, the Peranto's Cheesehead of the Emerald Bay.


The Cheese Sword deals a massive amount of damage against foes, not only because of its innate damage, but also because of its special damage type (cheese). On the downside, it can not be enchanted with abilities or with Gem Sockets. Because of how powerful it is, and the fact that it is an easter egg, the weapon is extremely difficult to get. It has a 0.667% (approx.) chance of being dropped by a Lich Lord.


It is highly advised that you do not sell this item if you obtain it, as it's only worth 1.5 million gold, which is insignificant compared to how rare the item itself is.

Trivia
◾The Cheese Sword can be sold for 1,518,675 gold, and can be repurchased for 9,427,821 gold, but it can never appear randomly in a shop.
◾The Cheese Sword is the only weapon in the game with a Fast swing rate that does over 120 damage
◾It's impossible to look at the texture of the Cheese Sword while using an external program, because the file for the texture is saved as a .chp
◾The Cheese Sword does a 'Cheese Damage' type, which mean no mobs in the entire game have any resists, or weaknesses to the weapon
◾It's unknown why the Cheese Sword was ever introduced into the game, some believe it was a test weapon to try to add more endgame content to the Steam Edition, others say it is just simply an easter egg.
◾The Cheese Sword was supposedly created before the Peranto's Cheesehead of the Emerald Bay, and simply did not get implemented into the game, but this is an unsupported piece of evidence.
◾The Cheese Sword was going to be renamed to Peranto's Cheese Sword of the Emerald Bay, but the weapon itself was scrapped before the name change could be implemented. It was then it was added to the Steam Edition of the game without the name change.
◾In the code, the Cheese Sword is actually referred to as the C/heese Sword, (with the alt code) making it unobtainable using cheats.
◾Statistically speaking, the Cheese Sword was only obtained 7 times (without cheating or external hacks) throughout the game's history, because approximately 1100 Lich Lord have been killed throughout the life of the Steam Edition of the game. 0.667% of the 1100 Lich Lord that were killed in the game is roughly 7.
◾It is unknown why only the Lich Lord drops the Cheese Sword. It is speculated that this is supposed to be an adult joke that only the producers understand

You know that those articles can easily be edited by anyone? don't take it as official info. It's also full of speculation, no facts.

"◾It is unknown why only the Lich Lord drops the Cheese Sword. It is speculated that this is supposed to be an adult joke that only the producers understand."

If any of this stuff is true, then it sounds like a joke about the Lich Lord "cutting the cheese". On the other hand, perhaps whoever initially posted this information about the cheese sword is the one who was making the joke.

I put many hundreds (and maybe over a thousand) hours into this game long before it was a Steam game, and I never saw a cheese sword, so it being an addition to the Steam version would explain that.

It will be interesting to see if, over time, anyone on Steam ever reports having acquired this item. They will need to show us a screenshot to prove it, of course.

I don't know to be honest, but I guess it is real in some way. I just got the Cheese Helmet while fishing.

the cheese helmet is real, yes. i fished it once, and it is wiewable in the game files.

I've gotten the cheese helmet many, many times. It's easiest to get if you go fishing first (before entering the dungeon), when you start a new character. The fishing luck is definitely the best right at the beginning of the game.
