Dabilahro is a large sword used by Elite Knights of the Vigoorian Empire known as Vigoorian Berserkers. Generally it weighs about 100 lbs, making it difficult to wield. Due to the weight of the Dabilahro, Ryu Hayabusa gets knocked off balance swinging it from time to time, on the other hand it does immense damage, and can be used to as a blunt weapon to crush boulders and other obstacles. Ryu can obtain this weapon from Muramasa by exchanging Scarabs for it, the amount of Scarabs depends on the difficulty, 20 Scarabs for normal.

Trivia[]
- In the Xbox Version the UT Color is red but in Sigma it's blue.
- Like the Dragon Sword's Windmill Slash, Dabilaro's Flaming Inferno can connect with a combo such as all versions of Flaming Hell Slash.
- The Dabilahro's name is likely derived from the Arabic term Dhabīḥah, which means slaughter.
- The first form of the Dabilahro is a possible reference to Guts, the protagonist of Berserk. Further proof is how the weapon description notes how it was used by ancient Vigoorian Berserkers.
