Weapons/Skills

 * This is especially true for shields like the and  since their effects will be activated on each and every  you make.


 * The Scarecrow has relatively low defense and HP, so very high dps weapons that can out speed him, such as the  or, with proper synergy, can make very quick work of the boss.

Lore
The Scarecrow was once the Royal Gardener, and when he was infected with the Malaise, he died in the Prisoner's Quarters with the key to his arboretum. After the player visits his body once, they will notice that it is gone (provided they picked up the outfit blueprint and key.) The Royal Gardener had returned to the Arboretum, leaving a note saying he was suddenly alive again, but he could feel the effects of the malaise starting to change him. He progressed to the Morass of the Banished, where the "stunningly friendly" natives gave him a potion to aid the stomach pains that come along with infection. He then traveled to the Fractured Shrines in hope of the locals helping him, only to find that they too had become monsters because of the malaise. He traveled to the Undying Shores where he found the Apostates in the same state. After this, he was planning on going to the lighthouse seen from the shores, but the Malaise had weakened him too much. He rerouted to the Mausoleum, and it was there he underwent transformation into what is now known as the Scarecrow.
