Notes

• This item is used by the the Apostle of Myrkul and under normal gameplay conditions cannot be acquired.
• An Oathbreaker Paladin levelled up to level 12 (e.g. by using mods or cheats) before facing the apostle, can use  Control Undead on him. Killing him while he is under this condition causes him to drop the scythe. However doing this softlocks the party, as Ketheric's body does not appear, his  Netherstone cannot be obtained, which results in the party being uable to leave in the Mind Flayer Colony.
• If killing Ketheric using the method listed above, the player character can use the bell the pixie gave the party and choose one of the dialogue options which insults her, turning them into a polymorphed animal, which then lets them fast travel out of the colony.^[verify]
