While you start Minecraft Dungeons 2 with a basic sword, you can obtain more advanced weapons the further into the game you go. You need to keep a lookout for the Thousand Cuts sword, as this weapon will come in very handy while defeating the late-game enemies and mini-bosses.
Obtaining the Thousand Cuts depends a lot on RNG, but there are a few select places you need to check for a better chance of getting this weapon. The details provided below will mention the best areas to get the sword, the probability of obtaining it, weapon stats, and available effects that can be added to the Thousand Cuts and make it more OP.
How to Find the Thousand Cuts in Minecraft Dungeons 2
The places that offer a higher drop rate of the sword is at Honeycomb Fields, the Ravines, and Frozen Highlands. I recommend spending more time in Honeycomb Fields to find the sword, since this is an early-game area and obtaining this weapon quickly is well worth the trouble.
Plus, the drop rate from Fancy Chests and Mini-Bosses in Honeycomb Fields is 0.48%, compared to the 0.36% in Frozen Highlands and 0.4% in The Ravines. In case you still can’t find this weapon even after farming through the above regions for several hours, then I would suggest changing your game’s difficulty and trying again. Usually, Unique weapons don’t drop on Easy mode, so switch to Normal or Hard mode and try farming them again.
