Great Corvian Scythe | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

51 bleed when imbued with blood, not 41

Submit

Elden ring players crying because they can't put the self-bleed into use and cheese the game

Submit

I used this in my first playthrough which was a scythe run and I never noticed that this thing inflicts bleed on the player Wtf.

Submit

Whats so great about it?

Submit

Stats on +10 dark infusion are wrong, the real numbers are 106 physical damage and 111 dark damage.

Submit

I dont know when the game got updated, but now this Scythe have 38 innate bleed, garants some resistence when equiped, and when you're hollow, + hollow infusion, it gives +5 luck even at +0

Submit

Do not use against deacons of the deep, I sadly made that mistake...

Submit

I probably shouldn't be using the weapon page to gloat but I just finished a run with the scythe at SL70 in 3:55:55. By the time I'd finished the game the last time I died was prior to Yhorm or Aldrich so that should sell you on how good the weapon is.

Submit

There's a lot of debate between pontiff great scythe and friede's great scythe, but with the frozen weapon spell, this scythe right here just buries both into mediocrity. Ridiculous range, terrifying ar and scaling, insane bleed build up for it's combos and strike damage up close that will punish any unfortunate whiff to death. The only thing the other two scythes have over this one are the weapon art, and even then a well placed neck swipe can end a fight with headshot + higher bleed build up.

Submit

Lifehunt scythe? is that you?

Submit

I got 5 of them while farming for the storyteller staff in Untended Graves, then went there on another character and got a scythe in 3 runs. Seems like the quickest way to farm this if you've gotten there, especially with the coiled sword shard

Submit

This is the definitive IQ check in PvP. I decline to elaborate further

Submit

Got the scythe before I got 5k souls. 7 luck on my pyromancer with no extra item discovery

Submit

is it better to infuse with blood gem or use cathus ? I'm a 60 dex 40 luck build

Submit

just been trying this on a 40 dex/luck build in SL125 pvp and boy oh boy slap some carthus rouge on this with a bloodbite ring and watch the DPS fly

Submit

Combine with notched whip for high utility edginess

Submit

It isn't clearly stated in description, but bleed on you procs for every hit in enemy, not hit you perform, so it is dangerous to swipe multiple targets at once. I didn't care about self bleed till Deacons fight, when i nearly bled myself in a couple of hits.

Submit

Does the bleed effect on a great corvian scythe stack
With a poison gem if it’s infused

Submit

The choice for professionals.

Submit

DO NOT USE AGAINST THE DEACONS, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE AGAINST THE DEACONS

Submit

This MF'er has 451 AR while Hallow infused with 40 STR 40 DEX 40 LUCK.
And then you can still throw a buff on top. (you better carthus rouge this baby, your bleed numbers will go through the roof)

Submit

The weapon can drop from Covians that have not sprouted wings yet unlike what this page says

Killed the last Scythe wielding Corvian on road of sacrifices (As you can see on the picture he didn't get the chance to start his transformation animation before I killed him)

Submit

I just converted my pyromancer in a dark pyromancer using this infused with dark this thing slap booties

Submit

On a Dark Build, this thing goes through shields as if they weren't there. If you struggle against turtles, this might be your thing. Give it a shot!

Submit

Would the Bloodbite Ring be good to have while using this weapon?

Submit

Finally got this thing today!

Submit

Does the spear/halberd rule apply to this? Unparryable, as long as only the tip connects?

Submit

Infuse with dark infusion and pair with sunless talisman using lifehunt scythe for ultimate scythe ability.

Submit

The king of spacing.. knowing how to use it is the difference between going untouched and being parried 3 times in a row.. this one has a high skill ceiling but Is one of the most fun weapons in the game with crazy mix up and stunlockking potential too

Submit

I heard this takes really long to farm for, but I was determined to do 3h of murder to get it so I just went to halfway fortress and killed the 1 scythe corvian just outside the entrance and I got it in around 10 minutes and 21 tries lmao

Submit

When infused with Lightning, it losses it's bleed effekt. Does it still inflict bleed on youreself?

Submit

It’s dark parameter bonus is wrong. It’s C B A A from at least +9. Level dex along with int/faith and it gets a huge damage increase with the parameter bonus

Submit

Does applying carthus rouge to this wepaon increase its self bleed?

Submit

This chart says it has 41 bleed when blood infused but 47 hollow infused, is that accurate? Smells fishy unless the luck scaling with hollow applies to its innate bleed damage for some reason

Submit

Made a NG character, fought some corvians and guess what I got the scythe without the intention of getting it, literally just wanted to go the bonfire and this item dropped with my 110 item discovery. wtf and I farmed this item back then like an hour with 400 item discovery.

Submit

I have the power of Chaos and anime on my side

Submit

The Scythe gives massive stagger almost to every NPC who gets hit by it. With this weapon, I had no problems in the Catacombs of Carthus whatsoever.

Submit

What is the chance that they'll drop it? Ive been trying to get it with high item discovery but ive got no items so far.

Submit

Any bloodshades in the chat?

Submit

Best way I have found to farm these is by starting at the Anri/Horrace bonfire then wait about 4 seconds until the roaming corvian converges with one of his stationary brothers so you can combo them both with one bar. Then you have enough time to take out the 3rd corvian before it mutates. Kill the one on the bridge and then repeat. Only the Scythe carriers drop it so it's not worth the time clearing the rest of the map.

Submit

The bleed has killed me several times now while attacking multiple mobs. Not the best PVE weapon lol.

Submit

Oh man this weapon is fun to use. Every swing is swift, smooth and has a satisfying crunch when it hits. A real shame about the pathetic range on the 2H R2. Will likely use it one handed for the superior R2.

Submit

Tonight... Gehrman joins the hunt

Submit

This doesnt get S scaling in dex in my game something is wrong should i give points to dex? (up to 40?)

Submit

Tools use this

Submit

This thing is dumb in the fact that it gets an S in dex with a sharp jem ( must be + 10 tho)

Submit

When death listens to ION

Submit

Best anti-shield turtle weapon

Submit

I've noticed something a bit odd with this weapon. Against some enemies, the one handed R2 does more damage than the two handed R2. This is taking the potential tip bonus into account (I think). And its all slash damage, so its not a case of different damage types.

Whats going on here? Do any other weapons have this quirk?

Submit

Ok. Any one tell me this please. How about this with simple infusion for small regen and small opponents and executioner greatsword on the back. 60 intelligence and 30 dex. As for bigger opponents Heysel Pick with old moonlight combo and great heavy soul arrow for distance. Pve opinions and PvP please.

Submit

If you’re doing a Luck build, consider slapping a poison infusion on this. The damage output is pretty bad, but it’s just so fun to see the poison and bleeding rack up so quickly. Also it looks sick lmao

Submit

The real reason you bleed while attacking with this weapon is because you are getting cut by your own edginess.

Submit

I like how this has some of the best elemental scaling (ignore the letter, the actual scaling value is much higher than it says) but it still hits like a wet noodle. hella chip though, 300 through most shields on dark infusion

Submit

I got thos weapon lucky and hate it so i discarded this fake reaper

Submit

Haven't played the game in a while, but this was always my favorite weapon. It's not the best weapon in the world in that it won't net you easy PvP kills just by picking it up and spamming R1, and there are definitely more optimal weapons to use for PvE (though Carthus Rouge on this thing does go through bosses pretty fast), but mastering the spacing of this weapon and learning to read your opponent with it makes you look and feel like a total badass. It's a whole lot easier for me to enter fight clubs and go undefeated for hours because I'm spamming katana running attacks or staggered greatsword R1s, but all my most exciting fights were with this scythe.

Submit

What luck scaling dose it get when hollow, +10 measurements preferably but any info will do

Submit

I sold it on my first playthrough nuts.

Submit

Chase recently did a showcase on it, and it has some interesting true combos. Apparently r1 can transition to jump attack, with either 1H or 2H. Pretty interesting and i might give it more love soon

Submit

I found kinda by accident that this weapon gets C-B-A-A scaling with chaos and dark infusions at +10. I did not think any weapon scaled that high. Lothric KS, Astroa GS, and Harald CGS, all get C-C-A-A scaling, which I had thought was the highest. Can anyone confirm that this is the highest scaling C/D infusion you can get in the game? Cuz if this is the highest scaling weapon you can get for elemental infusions, then that's definitely worth noting.

Submit

Lightning and Crystal infusions provide S scaling in Faith and INT (respectably) at +5,

Submit

Same as with the Corvian Greatknife, I recommend people farming for this wait for the Corvian's wings to sprout before killing them. I can't prove it, but I suspect the drop-rate improves once they've transformed.
