To make your Necromancer look more deadly, you better learn how to get the Black River Scythe in Diablo 4. This game features cool-looking weapons that will help you inflict damage on foes. You can snatch these shiny tools of destruction from all sorts of places: enemies, bosses, secret chests, crates that are surprisingly weapon-shaped, and even from merchants who believe in retail therapy for adventurers. The more complex the game difficulty, the rarer the loot. Such is the case with the Black River Scythe, a deadly Necromancer weapon. But with so many methods available, how can you acquire this piece of rare loot?

Diablo 4: The Black River Scythe Stats

The Black River is a Unique tier weapon that takes the already explosive Corpse Explosion skill in Diablo 4 and cranks it up to eleven. With this powerful armament in hand, every explosion becomes a grand spectacle. It adds four extra corpses, boosts the skill’s damage, and expands the explosion radius. Here are the stats for the Black River Scythe in Diablo 4.

Stat Value
Weapon Type One-handed Scythe
Rarity Unique
Required Difficulty Nightmare and Torment
Required World Tier 3 or 4
Unique Effect Corpse Explosion consumes 4 additional corpses, deals more damage, and has a larger explosion radius per additional corpse.
Additional Stats Life on Kill; Increased Damage to Healthy enemies

To get your hands on this destructive scythe, you must prove your mettle by taking down World Bosses or conquering the hair-raising Helltide events. Alternatively, you can try your luck by opening chests in the treacherous realms of World Tier 3: Nightmare or the bone-chilling World Tier 4: Torment.

Best Class and Build for the Black River Scythe

The Necromancer class and the Black River Scythe go together. If you want to have a blast and make your enemies regret their life choices, check out these builds:

  1. Corpse Explosion Build: This build blows minds (and bodies) with the Corpse Explosion skill. With the Black River Scythe in Diablo 4, you’ll turn enemies into confetti in no time.
  2. Bone Spear Build: This build lets you unleash your inner javelin thrower with the Bone Spear skill. The Black River Scythe will boost your Fueled by Death and Corpse Explosion ranks.

The Black River Scythe in Diablo 4 isn’t just a fancy decoration for your crypt. It’s a game-changer for Necromancers utilizing the famous Bone Spear build. This wicked scythe can take your Bone Spear skills to new heights, turning you into a force to be reckoned with. 

Diablo 4 is available on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox.
