How to get a Scythe

The Scythe appears during the Nightmare Containment activity. You can start this activity after you’ve completed Operation Midas at the start of Season of the Haunted and picked up your Nightmare Harvester artifact on the H.E.L.M.

Once you have it, open up your Director and make your way over to the Moon. You can find the Castellum on the bottom left-hand corner of your screen. Click on it, and you’ll arrive in the Derelict Leviathan, where you can start the Nightmare Containment activities.

You’ll be taking down multiple enemies during the activity, notable Dread Bearers and Nightmares. While charging your Nightmare Harvester, the Scythe appears after dunking an item the Dread Bearers drop, a Core of Dread. You can pick up the Scythe and begin using it as a melee or ranged weapon to make short work of these enemies, cutting through them. It appears onboard the Derelict Leviathan, so long as you see a Core of Dread drop you can find a Scythe.
