The Dark Scythe is a craftable radiant weapon. When swung, it will produce a double-edged scythe that spins in a full circle around the player, damaging enemies.
Upon striking an enemy, the user will gain 1 stack of Soul Essence.
It is one of the four scythes needed to craft Falling Twilight, the ultimate pre-hardmode scythe for Corrupt worlds.
