STONEFIRE & FROSTREAVER, BG2

Stonefire & Frostreaver Axes Baldur's Gate 2

Stonefire & Frostreaver are BG2 best weapons in BioWare's cRPG of 2000, Baldur's Gate 2. Due to their on-hit troll-killing elemental damage and early and easy acquisition in the Copper Coronet and de'Arnise keep, the Stonefire and Frostreaver berserker axes are two of the most useful weapons in Baldur's Gate 2.

While the Flail of Ages + Belm BG2 combo is superior, this dual-wield BG2 setup can be perfect for Korgan if CHARNAME is wielding the former.

Stonefire Lore

The Stonefires were an old lineage of dwarves, and the eldest male of the line carried this axe, an heirloom of utmost importance.  Unfortunately they were decimated in 1150DR, falling in a mere two years to a mysterious plague.  Ulgan, keeper of the axe, fled in the hopes of escaping the inevitable, but he died several weeks later.  His body was found in the Cloakwood Forest, but the axe was missing.

Frostreaver Lore

This was the axe of Illgarth, a Frost Giant that terrorized northern communities long ago. It is not known where he acquired the weapon, but he took a perverse pleasure in unleashing it upon small folk, particularly halflings. Ice and acid maimed those not killed, and the giant would laugh coldly if he recognized his handiwork from a previous visit.  Ultimately a group did manage to kill him, and at the request of his victims Frostreaver was buried with him.
