==Details==
The '''golden claws''' are a pair of cursed claws that draw monsters to the wearer en mass.
The weapon has an attack bonus of +55. It can be found in the [[Pyramid]], and sold for 11,250 G in the weapon/armour shops. It is easily the most complex weapon to acquire in the game, since the party will encounter a battle at every step as soon as they possess it until they exit the Pyramid.


In the official art for the golden claws, the weapon is depicted as being of Egyptian design.

The Golden claws are given to the party by the [[Portogus Rex]] of [[Portoga]] as a reward for defeating Baramos after his resurrection. Though the Pharaoh's curse persists, the King likely means well as the claws are the strongest weapons a martial artist can have in his world. When fully idealized in the forge, the claws boast the highest critical hit chance of all weapons and can help [[Jade]] attain a 25% chance when paired with the [[Assassin]] accessory, the Minerva equipment exclusive to her, and the passive traits she acquires through her character builder. As with all items found from other worlds accessed through the [[Echo Chamber]], the claws are only available in the {{Definitive Edition}} version of the game.
