THINGS YOU’RE GONNA NEED
(IF YOU’RE A HUNTER)

DEVIL’S TRAP –

Carry chalk, spray paint, paint, a paint marker –you get the point– on hand. It’s straight and to the point, makes staying alive and exorcising demons that much easier. A Devil’s Trap is essentially what it sounds like, a trap capable of confining a demon to that spot.

GOOFER DUST –

Commonly used in voodoo practice, but it can also be a useful means of protection, if you’ve got a hellhound on your trail. Its two main ingredients are graveyard dirt and snakeskin. A protection circle will keep the hounds at bay for a limited time.

HOLY WATER –

The simplest of defense from the Supernatural – mostly just demons and people who are possessed, assuming the demon is lower-ranked. Holy Water has its limits though, more of a stalling device than an actual weapon. If a demon is higher-ranked, it might not have any visual effect at all.

IRON –

Iron is useful for vengeful Spirits and/or Ghosts, but it’s got to be one-hundred percent pure iron. It repels spirits on contact, though it’s usually only temporary.

LATIN –

Not pig latin, silly. Memorize the language or at least the exorcisim seance that will help you get rid of the demon inside of a human host. Thinking on your feet is the most important part of being a Hunter and if you're reading from the book, you're risking the chance of being too slow.

SILVER –

Silver knives and silver bullets are a good thing to stock up on. It’s the only thing that can kill a Werewolf or a Shape-Shifter. Get to meltin’ down your good silverware, you never know when you might need it.

ROCK SALT –

Keep it in bulk. Nine times out of ten it’s going to be what saves your life. It’s a weapon, protection, and a purifier. Rock salt can be poured over the entrances in a room (windows, doors) to keep out spirits and demons, or poured in a circle around someone to defend them or trap something in. As far as offense is concerned, it can be packed into a round and fired out of a gun to ward off spirits for a short time. Rock salt is also one of the key items in salting and burning bones – it purifies the corpse.

PALO SANTO –

It is basically the wood version of holy water/salt, when a demon is stabbed the demon screams in pain and the wound smokes. It immobilizes demons long enough for exorcism.

HOLY OIL –

Holy Oil is a very rare substance that can be found in Jerusalem. A circle of burning holy oil is so far the only way to trap a celestial being. Michael is resistant to holy fire and could not be killed by it.

Holy Fire cannot kill demons, it will only cause them extreme pain

DEAD MAN'S BLOOD –

This is like poison to Vampires, and it comes from, obviously, Dead people. This is an essential tool when hunting vampires. A hunter could kill a vampire without this, but it creates enough pain to incapacitate a vampire.

Use: Once in the vampire's system they can no longer move and lose all their strength. It also hurts them. Some Hunters (like Gordon Walker) take pleasure in torturing weakened vampires)

Although, Dead Man's Blood does wear off, and the vampire will be able to regain his or her strength. Thus far, there can be only one vampire to be able to still move after being injected with it: Alpha Vampire.

VAMPTONITE –

Vamptonite is the nickname for human blood that has been infected with the leviathans corn syrup mixture meant to dumb all humans down. A side-effect of the mixture is that it is dangerously toxic to vampires, killing them the instant the blood is ingested. Sam and Dean have discovered this and used it as a weapon.

In addition to killing vampires, this weapon will also kill werewolves, shapeshifters, ghouls, and all other creatures that prey upon humans, with the exception of leviathans.

SIGNIFICANT ITEMS

THE COLT –

“Back in 1835, when Halley's Comet was overhead, the same night those men died at the Alamo, they say Samuel Colt made a gun - a special gun. He made it for a hunter - a man like us, only on horseback. The story goes he made thirteen bullets. This hunter used the gun a half dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him. […] They say- they say this gun can kill anything.” – John Winchester, Dead Man’s Blood

True to its legend, it can kill anything – at least everything it’s been tested on to use the remainder of the bullets. When those ran out, the gun become useless, up until Bobby Singer got a hold of it and had some help from Ruby getting some new bullets that would work.

Usage: The Colt's original thirteen bullets could kill almost anything; there were only five things in all of creation (including Lucifer) that couldn't be killed by the revolver. They can be used to kill almost any supernatural creature, such as demons, vampires and the Phoenix. It's possible that the gun can kill regular angels as Castiel believed it would kill Lucifer - an archangel.

After the using all the bullets, Ruby somehow helped Bobby make other bullets that can kill supernatural monsters. The Colt has a second function: the barrel of it acted as a key to unlock a Devil's Gate.

Current whereabouts: The Colt has been destroyed

RUBY’S KNIFE –

Its origins are unknown, but it seems to have the same attributes that the Colt does. With one stab, it begins to disintegrate the demon.

Powers: This knife is capable of killing lesser demons, however it apparently cannot kill the more superior demons, though Crowley, the King of Hell, was fidgety in its presence, as was Lilith. Castiel, being an angel and not a demon, was completely immune to the knife.

Current whereabouts: Sam & Dean are still in possession of Ruby's knife

ANGEL BLADE –

Angel Blades are weapons carried by most angels. They are long, silver, double-edged daggers that can be used to kill angels, seraphs, hellhounds, and possibly other supernatural creatures. When this dagger-like weapon kills an angel, intense light explodes from the vessel, leaving that body withered. This weapon is considerably powerful as it is one of the few weapons that can kill angels.

ARCHANGEL BLADE –

Archangel Blades are far more powerful versions of the standard Angel Blade. They can literally kill any Archangel. Due to its rarity and power, the blade can probably kill most supernatural creatures.

DEATH"S SCYTHE –

Death's Scythe is a personal belonging of the horseman Death, which he seemingly created for unknown reasons.

Powers: This scythe is very powerful, exceeding an Archangel Blade, The Colt, and Ruby's knife as each is limited to certain creatures. However the true power of an Archangel Blade hasn't been revealed.

It has been described as being able to kill angels, demons, and reapers. However, as it is seemingly of Death's own making, it possibly can kill almost anything.

Current whereabouts: Still in Death's possession
