Nunchucks

Nunchucks is an early-game sword weapon with low damage but very strong knockback. It is one of the first melee options a player can pick up before moving on to stronger equipment, and its main value comes from its ability to keep enemies pushed away rather than from raw damage.

Nunchucks can be found in chests in the surface ruins. Because of its heavy knockback, it is useful for controlling enemies at close range, especially when you need a safer weapon early on and do not yet have access to more powerful gear.
