The Throwing Sickle is a Curio in Specter of Torment and an ability in Showdown.

Specter of Torment[]

Usage[]

On use, Specter Knight throws a sickle on a long distance in front of him. It returns to where it was thrown after reaching its maximum distance. If the sickle makes contact with a wall or an enemy, it stops. If Specter Knight moves out of the sickle's path as it returns, it continues to its thrown distance in the opposite direction before stopping. A maximum of 2 Throwing Sickles can be active at once.

When upgraded, the Throwing Sickle is no longer blocked by walls or enemies and can be used to retrieve fallen gold sacks.

Availability[]

Access to the Throwing Sickle can be purchased from Red for Red Skulls 5 in the Tower of Fate after completing the Plains. It then has to be collected by completing its dedicated Curio stage. It can also be upgraded by Legion for Treasures icon 4000.

Showdown[]

In Showdown, Throwing Sickle is Specter Knight's ranged attack and functions same as in Specter of Torment. It can be done indefinetely due to lack of Darkness meter but the drawback is that there can be only 1 Throwing Sickle at the screen active instead of two like in Specter of Torment.
