— In-game description

Orcus Claw (, オーカスネイル^?, lit. Orcus Nail) is one of Necrid's weapons featured in Soulcalibur II

Weapon Gallery

This spectral light is also known as the Nail of Hades. Often seen hovering above the corpses of the newly dead, the ancient Greeks believed that this light was responsible for the harvesting of souls. It is unlikely that any mortal can triumph against a weapon with such strong associations to death.

In-game characteristics

Orcus Claw appears as a yellow color swap of Maleficus. While it has no immediate defining abilities, its power can be increased through Soul Charge and can maintain said state for a few seconds, but is vulnerable to Guard Breaks.

Trivia

• Orcus is the name of the Roman god of the Underworld.
