Description

A Necromancer focus item available in the first three Guild Wars campaigns. This off-hand weapon is tied to either Death Magic (typically resembling a gauntlet) or Curses (typically looking like a diamond-shaped shield).

There are several other skins available for Grim Cestas in the Prophecies campaign: a gorgon head (tied to Curses), a mummified bird talon (linked to Death Magic), or a bloody knife (tied to either). One especially valuable Grim Cesta is the quest reward from Cities of Ascalon, which resembles a Blood Knife; 55 Monks use its -50 health mod as a critical component of their equipment.
