444Usage[]
The Soul Whip can be used as a melee weapon or a ranged weapon.
When its Flay ability is used, it shoots a beam in the direction the player is aiming. This beam has a parabolic trajectory, traveling forward 13 blocks and upwards 2 blocks. The beam travels through enemies, damaging all in its path; for the first 3 enemies hit, it deals its melee damage, then it is halved for every subsequent enemy hit. The ability does not consume ✎ Mana, but has a hidden cooldown of 0.5s. Holding right click will continuously activate the ability.
Essence Crafting[]
This sword can be upgraded with Wither Essence. Once converted, it requires 
Catacombs 23 to use.

Trivia[]
- It is the best weapon for grinding
Ghosts, as it provides a way of damaging them without getting into their range and can hit many at a time. (Note: As of May 2022, Ghosts no longer automatically aggro players, making this ineffective for grinding ghosts.) - Due to its high piercing and range, it has good crowd-control capabilities.
- When swapping to this weapon from a fishing rod with the bobber out, the bobber will remain out. The bobber will not be reeled in when right clicking with the Soul Whip, but will be when swapping back to the rod.
- Looting does not work on enemies killed by the beam. However, Life Steal, Syphon and Mana Steal works on the beam.
- When right-clicking with this weapon, the Pets Auto-Equipper rule for throwing a fishing hook does not trigger.
- Like the Axe of the Shredded's Throw, when the whip projectile hits a mob, it is actually considered as that a melee hit is dealt by the player before the damage is affected by the ability’s damage multiplier. This means that sword swap works with this weapon’s ability.
- Despite the hidden attack cooldown of 0.5s, The Soul Whip can attack faster if the player is spamming the ability rather than holding right click.
- The concept of the weapon and the ability name "Flay" may be a reference to the character "Thresh" from the game League of Legends, with Thresh having an ability of the same name.
- This weapon and the Axe of the Shredded can be used to take The Wither Lords' aggro easily since their damage are calculated as melee damage, but the Soul Whip is used as a ranged weapon.
