Strategy
In the 1.0 game files Fell Sicklescythe takes extra damage from Poison (120%), Fire (120%) and Shock (120%) and is immune to Shroud.
A desert-tier wall tied to the Sun Temple and Hollow Halls questlines. Respect its reach — dodge inside the wide scythe swings and punish between them, in level-25+ gear the Kindlewastes expects. It also guards the finale of the Kindlewastes Hollow Halls.
- 1Travel to KindlewastesFell Sicklescythe spawns in Kindlewastes. Open the in-game map and fast-travel to the nearest fast-travel point in the region before approaching.
- 2Swap to Poison or Fire or Shock damageFell Sicklescythe takes increased damage from Poison, Fire, Shock. Slot a weapon dealing one of those types as your primary — Daggers are the family fits.
- 3Drop Shroud from your loadoutFell Sicklescythe resists Shroud damage — bringing those as your main weapon wastes the fight. Reserve them for a backup slot or replace entirely.
- 4Loot and check the wiki for variantsConfirm drops on the in-game corpse, then cross-reference the live wiki entry below for patch-specific changes and rarer variants we may not have re-scraped yet.
