Changelogs
I, and im sure others, have wanted a useable version of the scythe used by the avatar of Myrkul since fighting him, even when added to your inventory via mods the item has a default icon, does not fit the players hand, and clearly is not meant for the player to use.

This mod aims to make that a reality.

Quite strong, I would not recommend for a first playthrough unless comfortable with that, I aimed to be around as powerful as Markoheshkir, but I would say I overshot it. 



Features

  • Tweaked model to fit (mostly) the players hand: I'm no expert at blender, it's a best effort, some body types races may fit better than others, so YMMV.
  • Unique Legendary containers, Myrkul's Bones, and an exceptionally small pile of Myrkul's Viscera: Keep your potions organised!
  • Custom Icon: Graciously edited from a screenshot by my partner.
  • Summon a Flesh Golem: Tweaked from the default summon, he grants the player Greater Necromancy. Other abilities have also been overhauled.
  • Greater Necromancy: Powerful versions of Dethrone/Finger of Death and Circle of Death that are exclusively cast using a mechanic similar to the Staff of Cherished Necomancy in the base game. Casting spells in this way is harmful, and if the condition is not managed, the casters mind will detonate, causing massive damage. 
  • [NEW] Myrkul's Avatar transformation. See changelog for more info.



Greater Necromancy: Finger of Death 

 

Greater Necromancy: Circle of Death


Location
ACT 3: Popper, he salvaged Myrkul's Bones. Potentially dangerous, make a save before purchasing Myrkul's Bones (The item is contained within the Bones).

I won't be providing a version in the TUT potion chest, I'm not the biggest fan of adding items this way as it calls attention to the fact that it is a modded item, and I want it to feel a normal part of the game. If you want to add it there I welcome you to learn to unpack the mod files and poke around to do so yourself, learning to work with them opens up a world of customisability to your experience.

Edit:
As noted, some people may want to try it out before starting a campaign, so here is the UUID, and I will now provide an optional file for those that want it to access it at the TUT chest.

UUID: 575b6330-6d58-431c-8453-26aef8323bc2

Install 
Can be installed with your preferred mod manager, eg. the BG3 Mod Manager

Compatibility
Shouldn't affect other mods, as the items/spells are unique, post a comment if you notice any issues.
