Darksiders III Scorn Guide

Below we will detail all the forms of Scorn, the move sets that you can chose to attack an enemy with different types of moves, and upgrade requirements for each form of Scorn.

Types of Scorn Forms

Fury’s weapon; Scorn, can take 5 forms in the game that offers its own ability and variety of attacks that can be used against enemies. Here are all the forms of Scorn:

• Barbs of Scorn – Offers Fury tremendous range
• Chains of Scorn – Offers fast paced attacks even on armored enemies
• Mallet of Scorn – A huge hammer to wreak havoc on multiple enemies, or larger targets.
• Lance of Scorn – A face paced weapon for Fury to unleash on foes
• Edge of Scorn – A weapon that can split into two swords in combo attacks

Scorn Move Set and Upgrades

Fury wades into battle armed with her innate athleticism and trusty hilt, Scorn. Scorn takes on numerous forms as Fury acquires the Hollows, but it resembles a whip in its base form, the Barbs of Scorn. A robust set of attacks is available to Fury from the onset of her quest. Many of these attacks are specific to the Barbs of Scorn, though some can be performed regardless of the weapon used. To slay the Seven Deadly Sins, Fury must make use of Scorn’s versatility. This chapter shows you how.

BARBS OF SCORN

Scorn, the hilt that Fury carries with her at all times. Forged long ago by The Mad Smith, Scorn adapts to Fury’s will with each of her forms. Below are the stats for Barbs of Scorn:

• Base Damage: 65
• Speed: Moderate
• Special: Whip Swing

The Barbs of Scorn are a potent weapon with a surprising distance that it can reach to attack enemies. The weapon can be used to yank enemies closer , or to flip them into the air and attack with combos. But that is not all that the Barbs of Scorn are for, as they can be used to grapple and swing from suspended pipes and tree branches, offering versatility to Fury.

Since it is a very good ranged weapon, it lacks its strengths in close combat. The weapon length makes it difficult to fight against enemies at very close range, as swinging the weapon takes time, while four and five hit combos are even slower than those of other weapons at offer.

All things said, and despite its limitations, Barbs of Scorn is likely your deadliest weapon, most all purpose option

Chains of Scorn

Inspired by the burning power of the Flame Hollow, Scorn takes the form of two blazing flails. Fury uses the flails to dispatch enemies with violent elegance. Below are the stats for Chains of Scorn:

• Base Damage: 66
• Speed: Fast
• Special: Some attacks ignite the enemies on fire.

The chains of Scorn are perfect t break enemy defense due to its lightning speed. Armored enemies who could easily block Barbs of Scorn are often vulnerable to Chains of Scorn. Though this is only the first Hollow Fury will acquire, it’s likely to be the one used most often, especially given the frequent need to Flame Jump, wade through lava and fire, and burn through cobwebs.

Although Chains of Scorn are the most powerful weapon for Fury, the speed that they offer is what makes up for all its cons. In addition, their compact design makes them well suited in breaking through a pack of enemies. Aside attacking enemies, this is also an excellent weapon for smashing objects like desks and pots.

Mallet of Scorn

The Force Hollow allows the collection and precise focusing of energy into concentrated attacks. With Scorn taking on the appearance of a giant hammer, Fury can shatter her enemy’s defenses and inflict severe damage. Below are the stats for Mallet of Scorn:

• Base Damage: 75
• Speed: Slow
• Special: Some attacks knock back enemies

The mighty Mallet of Scorn takes two hands to wield and demands all of Fury’s strength with each swing. The mallet is capable of knocking back enemies with a power packed hit and is best used for larger sized enemies that are not so quick to dodge attacks themselves.

Once hit from the Mallet of Scorn can obliterate multiple enemies, but its slow speed can mean trouble when quick attack are required. Nonetheless, the Mallet of Scorn delivers a powerful airborne attack to enemies. Leap into the air and unleash a ground rattling overhand attack that is sure to knock back enemies.

Other then the combat aspect of the mallet, it can also come of use in smashing through purple coral rocks that block many of the doorways and tunnels that can be found throughout the world, while some areas absolutely require the use of the mallet in knocking down large purple glowing stone blocks out of your way.

Edge of Scorn

Scorn becomes a perfectly balanced Broadsword capable of splitting into two blades at will while the Stasis Hollow is active. The sword cuts through time and space, injuring opponents on all planes of existence, with a range of different attacks.

The Edge of Scorn is a massive broadsword that may be slow but more versatile than the Force Hollow’s weapon. In addition and unlike any other weapon, the Edge of Scorn can split into two when a combo is performed, or during leaping attacks, which grants you a chance to briefly wield two swift swords.

Owing to its links to the Stasis Hollow, the Edge of Scorn can effectively chill enemies, causing their movements to slow. Though not every hit will necessarily slow an enemy, charge attacks have a greater chance, as do combination attacks. Look for an enemy to glow blue, indicating it has been slowed, then swap to a faster-hitting weapon and unleash a barrage of hits.

The Edge of Scorn can inflict very heavy damage, but it is cumbersome to use. Fury needs to really step into each swing, which takes time, making it less suitable for groups of fast-moving enemies. Though capable of cutting through enemies an all sides, the combination attacks are primarily front-facing. This is a weapon best used against boss enemies and larger, armored foes, especially those requiring a lot of strafing. Slow them with the Edge of Scorn, then switch to the Flame or Storm Hollow.

Lance of Scorn

The Storm Hollow sends surges of calamitous electricity through Scorn, now a spear, as it shocks nearby enemies into submission. Fury can also charge and throw the spear to hit targets at range. Below are the stats for the Lance of Scorn:

• Base Damage: 65
• Speed: Fast
• Special: Some attacks blast out lightning from the Lance of Scorn

While it’s not the most powerful weapon, the speed and versatility of the Lance of Scorn make it useful for general combat and exploration. Indeed, a case can be made for using the Storm Hollow in place of the Flame Hollow as Fury’s general-purpose form, though the Lance of Scorn can be a bit less effective when trying to smash through items.

The ability to Storm Glide isn’t the Storm Hollow’s only airborne gift. Fury can heave an electrified Lance of Scorn into the ground after a simple jump, electrocuting enemies and leaving them vulnerable for follow-up attacks. The move is an ideal replacement for the Gravel Grinder, though it does require more airtime.Lance of Scorn – Move Set

Salvation

Other than the Scorn that Fury wields, she also has a throwing weapon called Salvation which is a gift from Usiel. This weapon gives Fury the ability to target 4 enemies in a single attack. It is unknown who forged Salvation, one of five holy Crossblades wielded by Heaven’s strongest angels. Below are the stats of Salvation:

• Base Damage: 35
• Speed: Slow
• Special: Charged attacks are imbued with the active Hollow.

It’s possible to quick-toss Salvation, either charged or uncharged. Though less precise than a throw made using Aim Mode, a quickly thrown Salvation attack can interrupt an enemy’s attack, allowing you to continue a lengthier combo with Scorn. Hold the Throw button to imbue Salvation with the active Hollow, gaining a chance to ignite, electrocute, knock back, or slow the enemy.

Salvation won’t ever be your primary weapon in combat, but don’t underestimate its usefulness. Not only can it interrupt enemy attacks, but it can also be socketed with a weapon enhancement. Consider assigning one with a valuable passive benefit to it. That way, you can assign those enhancements with more valuable active benefits to the various forms of Scorn.
