The Scythe is War's first of two secondary weapons. The other one being the Tremor Gauntlet. It should not be mistaken with The Harvester which is a special version of Scythe. If the player uses the code to unlock the Harvester it permanently replaces the Scythe.
Acquisition[]
It can be purchased from Vulgrim for 1000 Souls.
Usage[]
With much greater range and speed than either Chaoseater or Tremor Gauntlet, and its sweeping attacks, Scythe is a great weapon for crowd control and building up large combos. When boosted with Death's Blessing and Abyssal Armor, the Scythe becomes a great way to swiftly reclaim any lost health, while simultaneously reaping greater than usual amounts of Souls from your enemies.
Trivia[]
- If somehow broken into, the game's files state that the Scythe is actually called "The Hellraiser".
- The Scythe is the only non-mandatory weapon/item in the game, as the game can be finished without ever using it. It is also the only weapon/item to be truly purchased, as the acquisition of Earthcaller is scripted.
