Project Gorgon Dual Wield Guide: How Dual Wielding Works

Dual wield in Project Gorgon is done by equipping a Dagger in your main hand and a Dirk in your off hand while using the Knife combat skill. That is the only true dual wield setup in the game. You cannot dual wield swords or mix other weapon types.

If you want to dual wield, this is the exact path.

How To Dual Wield In Project Gorgon

To activate dual wield:

Equip a Dagger in your main hand
Equip a Dirk in your off hand
Set Knife as your active Combat Skill

Once both weapons are equipped correctly, you are dual wielding. There is no separate dual wield toggle or passive to unlock.

The off hand Dirk is not cosmetic. Many abilities assume you are using proper knife weapons, and your overall damage output depends on having both equipped.

What Weapons Count For Dual Wield

Only these weapons work for dual wield:

Main Hand:

Any Dagger class weapon

Off Hand:

Any Dirk class weapon

If you try to equip two Daggers, it will not work. The off hand must specifically be a Dirk.

Weapon quality matters. Higher tier Daggers and Dirks improve your damage and stat scaling. Military and crafted versions scale much better than basic or rusty versions.

Dual Wield Combat Style

Dual wield builds rely heavily on Damage Over Time effects. Instead of burst damage, you apply injuries and poison that tick over time.

The playstyle focuses on:

Stacking DoT effects
Maintaining pressure
Using evasion tools to stay alive
Managing throwing knives for ranged pressure

Throwing knives act like ammo. About 85 percent are recoverable after combat, but some are lost on use.

Dual wield feels fast and aggressive. You chip enemies down while staying mobile.

Where To Train And Progress

You can learn the Knife combat skill from Bahdba southeast of Serbule Keep. It is also a starting skill for the Fairy race.

Progression unlocks through different trainers:

Lisi teaches advanced abilities
Rick Snapley unlocks levels 51 to 70
Pegast unlocks 71 to 80
Emersil the Ever Gloating unlocks 81 to 90

Each tier unlocks stronger abilities that improve your dual wield damage over time rotation.

Synergy And Related Skills

Dual wield benefits from synergy levels in several skills.

Notable synergy sources include:

Cooking at levels 10 and 60
Fishing at levels 35 and 65
Orcish at level 25
Sword at levels 25 and 55
Unarmed at levels 33 and 55

Ice Conjuration can also craft Crystal Ice, which can be used as ammunition for abilities that require throwing knives.

These connections help scale your dual wield setup beyond just weapon upgrades.

Is Dual Wield Worth It

Dual wield is strong as a main skill. It deals consistent damage through DoTs and offers mobility tools to avoid heavy hits.

It performs best in longer fights where your damage over time effects can fully tick. It rewards players who manage positioning and ability timing well.

If you want a fast melee style that pressures enemies down instead of relying on big single hits, dual wield in Project Gorgon is a solid choice.
