The Scepter is a held item that functions as a ranged weapon. You point it twoards an enemy and it will automatically blast them with energy, killing them instantly. The reason the Scepter is not considered the best ranged weapon is because it will only target the closest enemy to you on either side and will not ignore dead bodies (whereas with a blast from the Shotgun, several pellets might hit a body and get absorbed, but the rest will hit targets behind the body). Also, the Scepter appears only after you have killed the most difficult enemies in the game, whereas a Shotgun is availible from the get-go. If you have the [[Hedjet]], it will automatically combine with the Scepter and allow you to access the [[City of Gold]].

The Scepter is the second-best ranged weapon in the game next to the Shotgun. It is dropped from the mummy in Area 4, which is considered to be the hardest enemy in the game.

Functionality

The Scepter is a held item that functions as a ranged weapon. You point it twoards an enemy and it will automatically blast them with energy, killing them instantly. The reason the Scepter is not considered the best ranged weapon is because it will only target the closest enemy to you on either side and will not ignore dead bodies (whereas with a blast from the Shotgun, several pellets might hit a body and get absorbed, but the rest will hit targets behind the body). Also, the Scepter appears only after you have killed the most difficult enemies in the game, whereas a Shotgun is availible from the get-go. If you have the Hedjet, it will automatically combine with the Scepter and allow you to access the City of Gold.
