Poison Claws — In-Depth Analysis
The Poison Claws are a melee weapon in 99 Nights in the Forest, known for having the fastest swing rate in the game. Each swing takes 0.2 seconds (it is not automatic, so you still have to click) and deals 30 damage, and every hit applies the Poison effect to the target.
The wiki describes the look as two wooden holders that your hand slips into, long steel nails with poisonous tips, and a small stone that holds the whole thing together. In combat it plays like a short-range weapon, with a reach similar to an axe.
Getting them takes effort. They come from the Jungle Chest in the treasure room of the Mother Temple in the Jungle Biome, and that room only opens once all 4 Crystal Skulls have been placed. The route there includes challenges that can kill you, and the Poison Claws are not a guaranteed drop from the chest, so a run may end without them.
The tradeoff is range. The wiki says the combination of rapid swings, decent damage per hit and poison gives a very high DPS that can shred most enemies, but the short reach means you have to be careful about how close you stand. A skilled player can use that offensive power well, while a careless one will take hits in return.
