Appearances

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Grim Reaper can be learned by Yangus by investing 50 points into his Scythes skill, costing 3 MP to use. It attempts to instant kill one group of enemies, with the success rate dependent on the enemy's Whack resistance, and inflicts 75% of his normal attack damage that decreases per enemy struck after the second enemy. The skill will eventually be upgraded to Grimmer Reaper if Yangus invests 90 points into Scythes.
