The Hallow Scythe is the mythic scythe dropped by the 
Soul Reaper. It focuses on high damage and strong combo potential, with a unique mechanic: boosted damage (x1.2) when the target drops below 50% HP, making it a very good PvP option. Its fast M1s without dash also make it enjoyable for farming, even with 
Buddha.
How to get it
Drop from the Soul Reaper, the boss of the 
Haunted Castle (
Third Sea), with a 5% chance per kill. Not purchasable - you must farm the boss, and obtaining it is known to be tedious, since the 
Hallow Essence tied to the boss is itself rare to obtain.

Sea Beasts
- Long grind to obtain - 5% drop and Hallow Essence is rare
- Weakest M1s among mythic swords - average for Buddha if you have better
- Demanding mastery requirement (350 for the [X])
- True learning curve, requires practice
- Does not hit
Blade users
Our take
An excellent PvP sword thanks to its damage bonus below 50% HP and its [X] that breaks Instinct, provided you accept its learning curve. For farming, its fast M1s work well enough, but other mythics hit harder with Buddha.
