The Scythe of the Forlorn is a reaper exclusive to Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

The King's elder brother Aldia sought to overcome the curse through means unalike his sibling's.
The Forlorn were born of Aldia's sinful infatuation.

Availability[]

Characteristics[]

While the Scythe of the Forlorn has decent normal stat scaling, it also scales with hollowing; that is, the more hollow the user is, the higher this scaling. Being in human form causes this weapon to scale negatively in this regard.

Special Scaling Explanations can be found in Attack Rating.

Infusing Bleed onto this weapon will reduce its stat scaling, but its Bleed effect will be increased and its Bleed damage doubled, causing this weapon at Bleed +5 to have one of the highest Bleed damages in the game. It should also be noted that infusing this weapon with Bleed will still cause it to have a higher Dark scaling if it were instead infused with Dark.

Infusing this weapon with Raw will reduce the negative scaling of being human.

  • Going under 50% health by gaining Wretch status will not increase the hollow scaling further.
  • When in the arena the hollow scaling still affects this weapon.

Trivia[]

  • The texture of this weapon is animated. Parts of the blade and the end of the shaft glow red.
