Walkthrough & Notes

Scythe-jaw is a Rare Arch-nemesis with 534,773 morale and 168,131 power. Scythe-jaw may place a poison debuff called "Fatal Poison" on you, which results in immediate defeat unless removed with a poison curing salve or potion. If on foot, other methods of poison removal may also work. It looks like a yellow effect with a black dot in the center. However, it is not a disease effect. See: Roving Threats for information on spawning and locations
