DS2 Full Moon Sickle Hints and Tips
- Extremely high bleed bulidup, with the cost of slow swinging.
- Infuse with Bleed Stone to make it more effective, it probably has the highest bleed buildup among all the weapons.
- Power stance light attack is extremely slow since it is reaper-type weapon, and it often misses out small or humanoid targets.
- Effective for inflicting bleed on large enemies with power stance heavy attack.
- Cannot be coated in Bleeding Serum, even before Bleed Stone infusion.
- Using Shadow Gauntlets and Crest of Blood with dual Bleed Full Moon Sickle +10 will push the top notch bleed weapon to full power, it is possible to inflict bleeding INSTANTLY with the use of a single power stance strong attack.
- In Scholar Of The First Sin, consider Scythe of the Forlorn as well, which has similar stats with slightly lower base damage, but higher DEX scaling and extra Dark damage, making it a possibly better option for hex or mundane builds. However, you have to be fully hollowed for it to even be considered a good substitute.

WTF can you power stance with this? I have foggy memories of being able to use it along side a hammer, but nothing I try works.
- Anonymous
Use it along with a straight sword, prefereably with a bleed damage or infusion, i used the ashen warrior sword with bleed infusion, crest of blood, and shadow gauntlets, it would be a excelent bleed build for pvp. (sidenote: the backstab with the sickle can bleed instantly)

After trying to farm 2 of these, I made every possible artificial undead de-spawn. And I only got 1. Even with the symbol of avarice, prisoner's chestpiece, gold coventous serpent ring +1 and rusted coins. I hate this game.

Haha I literally just got this on my 8th attempt of trying 2 farm this thing in harvest Valley and that’s without using any trinkets 2 boost my luck at all god damn I’m 1 lucky bastard
Get two Sickles. Dual wield them. Do not powerstance. Now do the light attack once with the right and then once left (or left then right, doesn't matter), repeat till you change your mind. This is an indefinite light attack combo that allows you to perform the long range light attack without the usage of exposing back scratcher/pulling attack.

why is the drop rate so damn low? ugh cmon from this is ridiculous!!
- Anonymous
Very good. Fun weapon, and does high damage criticals due to always inflicting Bleed on every backstab or riposte. The only big con is the wonky moveset.
- Anonymous
Drop rate must be less than 1%, Takes hundreds of kills to even get a drop, much less the weapon.
Got the Full Moon Sickle 1st kill on a red phantom version of the sickle monster. Recommended burning an aescetic at the Undead Lockaway bonfire to spawn the red phantom versions. Could also burn Ascetic at The Mines bonfire and farm the big train of sickle enemies nearby it. *** Bonfire Ascetic also increases item discovery on enemies in that area. Beginning at +150 for bonfire intensity 2 and capping at +375 for bonfire intensity 8. This difference is enormous and can outweigh wearing all item discovery equipment.
