Since you will be encountering enemies at each step of He is Coming, you have to start working on your build very early in the game. There are some weapons that can scale in their damage stats if you collect more of them, and the Hidden Daggers work this way. This guide will explain how to find and use Hidden Daggers in He is Coming.
How Do Hidden Daggers Work in He is Coming
Hidden Daggers are a unique weapon to own, as it scales in damage output the more of this weapon you acquire. At base stats, it just has 2 Attack, but upon obtaining more of them, you can scale the attack stat to +2 per weapon. So, if you already have the base weapon and have acquired a second Hidden Dagger, your total attack stat will be at +4. This is the only way to upgrade the Hidden Daggers to scale its attack stat.
This also makes it a disadvantage, since you can’t scale the stats of this weapon through other means like every other weapon in the game. If you are using a build that solely depends on the stacking damage of the Hidden Dagger, then things can get tough pretty soon. Plus, obtaining multiple Hidden Daggers can be a chore, since they spawn randomly. You can use Hidden Daggers during very early gameplay, but is not recommended for mid to late game.
How to Get Hidden Daggers
The only way Hidden Daggers spawn is within chests. There are no fixed chest spawns, it is attainable as random loot. There is also a catch, if you miss finding the first Hidden Dagger, other Hidden Daggers will not spawn for the rest of the playthrough.
If you find a chest during early game, try to reroll chest blessings whenever you come across them. This will increase your chance of finding Hidden Daggers, which will unlock subsequent daggers for the rest of your playthrough. The best way to use Hidden Daggers is to focus more on owning better armor and increase defense, which will help you withstand more damage and you get to last longer in battle. That way, even if your scaling is low, you can keep attacking if you have higher health.
