Where the Primal Slayer poisons, Scourging Slayer carries lightning. It is the same two-handed blade, fitted with an iolite from a Charred Fortress in the Ashlands instead of a jade. It deals 170 slash and 10 lightning. Its 180 total damage ties the Primal Slayer for 6th among swords, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Lightning hurts the Lava Blob, the Morgen and the Blob more than most mobs, and that is what you carry it for.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from:
- 1x Slayer: crafted at a Black Forge.
- 15x Flametal: smelted from Flametal Ore in a Blast Furnace.
- 1x Iolite: found in the charred fortresses of the Ashlands.

When to Use It
Late game. You find Flametal in the Ashlands, as far south as the map goes.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step further than the last. Every other figure on this page is for quality 1, so this table shows the ladder your own copy sits on:
| Quality | Crafting Station | Slash | Lightning | Durability | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black forge (Level 4) | 170 | 10 | 200 | |
| 2 | Black forge (Level 5) | 176 | 10 | 250 | |
| 3 | Black forge (Level 6) | 182 | 10 | 300 | |
| 4 | Black forge (Level 7) | 188 | 10 | 350 |

Properties
The Iolite adds 10 lightning and gives the primary attack a 25% chance of chain lightning. The chain deals 75 damage that ignores skill and cannot be blocked or dodged, and it bounces to 2 to 4 more targets within 8 metres.
A wide swing that procs does 2 things at once. The two-handed primary already catches several enemies without splitting its damage, and each of those hits rolls for the chain separately. In a Charred Fortress corridor that adds up in a way no flat damage number shows.
Notes
Few enemies resist lightning: only the Skugg, the Barka and Kall Fimbulbringer take half damage from it, and nothing is immune.
