** The Dagger of Throwing found in the Ivlis Caverns (the first gameplay dungeon). It's a +2 ranged weapon (which means that even in interior cells, a party member in the 3rd or 4th slot can use it) that always returns to the hand. It is very easy to snipe enemies caught on props in the environment, especially the Wights and Vampires that don't want to be fought in close combat to avoid the level drain. Since it's also a dagger, it attacks faster than any weapon that isn't barehanded.

Added DiffLines:
* ThatOneLevel:
** The Elven Tomb. The first level is chock full of level draining Wights and a few tough as nails Pyre Elementals. The second level has Spectres (which keep the level draining of the Wights, but are tougher) and even more Pyre Elementals.
** The Greater Barovian Catacombs. Fifteen Barovian coins are required and the dungeon has to be dredged to find them all. It is also full of wraiths, which also level drain.
** The Undead Forest. The Treants there can mob and overwhelm a high level party.

** In the CD-ROM version you can do a sidequest for an old paladin as the first dungeon you tackle, which among other things gets you a +3 Paladin's Sword. It is once of the best one-handed swords in the entire game. And in the sequel.

* DiscOneNuke:
** The Ba'al Verzi dagger in the abandoned hut soon after entering Ravenloft. It's a +2 weapon that can attack nearly twice as fast as a normal weapon.
** Burning Hands. Most mages start with the spell, and it's level 1 spell, so it can usually cast it 4 times. It hits a wide area in front of the caster. Two are usually enough to clear out most enemies in front of you.
