Top Elden Ring Scythes: Ranking Every Reaper in the Game

Despite the abundance of content in the game, certain weapons in Elden Ring may seem a little neglected. Compared to weapons like Colossal Swords and Greataxes, which have six varieties each, the fast and strong Twinblades and the brand-new Great Spears seem to lack diversity. Unfortunately, scythes are not exempt from this underutilization. Players must locate just four variants of this weapon, which is named Reapers in the game. Players that are interested in these weapons should be aware of how all scythes, or Reapers as they are known in Elden Ring, function because of their limited quantity.

The Elden Ring's Reapers (Scythes) are all ranked.4. Halo Scythe

The Halo Scythe has a low stat need, delivers amazing damage, and even has a special Ash of War. It is the toughest Reaper to collect, which is why it isn't placed higher. To get the weapon in Caelid, you must kill Cleanrot Knights, which will require you to trudge through the lethal Scarlet Rot. Furthermore, this weapon's scaling and basic damage are both somewhat modest; instead, it mostly depends on the Ash of War to do a lot of damage. If you can locate it, it's worth employing, although other Reapers are much simpler to get and have more potential.

It's surprising that finding the fundamental Scythe is not the simplest of tasks. It is exclusive to Liurnia of the Lakes' Cliffbottom Catacombs. It has reasonable damage and the lowest total stat requirements, but astute and fortunate players will probably already have a superior Reaper. It performs .has excellent Dexterity scaling, but in the long term, this is essentially meaningless—especially because Rebirth may be performed later on.

You may get the Winged Scythe by visiting the Weeping Peninsula and investigating the Tombsward Ruins. It has very high stat requirements, but it more than makes up for it with powerful Holy damage and a unique Ash of War. It is the simplest Reaper in all of Elden Ring to get, yet when it comes to defeating opponents vulnerable to Holy assaults, it can even outperform the Halo Scythe. As long as a player's level is high enough to utilize it successfully, the Winged Scythe remains the best Reaper to start with, despite some players being disappointed by its physical damage.

Given that it can only be obtained via farming, the Grave Scythe is only dropped by skeletons that wield it. Fortunately, there are skeletons like this all around the Lands Between, so a persistent player will eventually find it. Such commitment is warranted by this Reaper, which can outperform any scythe in Elden Ring with the correct configuration. It can outdo the Holy damage of the Winged and Halo Scythes by using a Sacred Ash of War, and it has more basic damage than the standard Scythe. To put it plainly, the Grave Scythe is more valuable to cultivate than any other reaper you may come across along your quest.

For the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Elden Ring is accessible.
