The Scythe was a weapon in Dante's Inferno. It was Dante's primary melee weapon.
Abilities[]
Dante's Scythe was able to shift its form in a variety of ways, growing and shrinking as it was needed to grab, slash and impale the objects or enemies. It could change into a straight, spear-like form, reminiscent to a war scythe, extend into a hooked chain or collapse into a blade that was attached to Dante's arm. It was also used by Dante to safely descend into a new circle, double-functioning as a rope and a grappling hook.
Dante used the souls to upgrade the scythe which grew stronger by absorbing Unholy Powers. Each time that Dante chose to damn the souls, Unholy Experience was generated. Once enough experience was gained, the scythe gained new abilities.
