Clockwork Scythe is one of eight primary weapons in Mortal Shell 2, and every Shell can carry it. Its weapon ability is Clockwork Shardstone, paid for in Resolve. It takes 21 Tarstones. How you get it: Map purchased from Merrick.
“The ambitious instrument of a madman or a genius, perhaps he was in fact both.”
Our take
Its ability is a chainsaw. That is the entire pitch, and it is a good one — sustained contact damage is rare in a game built around discrete, punishable swings. Two records point at it: Merrick sells its location map, and Sariel the Endless drops it. Whichever you reach first is the one that gets you the Scythe.
