Talk:Voodoo Demon

Demon Scythe drop
Hey just got the spell book "Demon Scythe" from one of these guys. 35 damage, Fast Speed, Uses 18 Mana, Lore - Casts a Demon Scythe. Not sure how to add this stuff to the page correctly so I'll leave this note for anyone who can do it. Thanks!

Oh also, when you kill the voodoo demon and he is carrying the guide voodoo, if he drops the guide into lava, the guide will die wherever he is on the map.


 * I'm pretty sure that you killed a Demon, not a Voodoo one. Also, refer to Demon Scythe. yeh (talk) 08:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Spawn Rate 1.1
Has anyone else noticed a greatly increased spawn rate? At one time, after the 1.1 update, I faced three of these simultaneously. -- TechpriestMagos 02:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe the spawn rate of all enemies in Hell greatly increases after defeating the Wall of Flesh --GauHelldragon 03:58, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I haven't gotten around to that yet. I just thought the proportion of them present at one time was unusual. -- TechpriestMagos 04:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I think Magos is right, they seem awfully common. Though, I didn't spend much time in the underworld in the patches leading up to 1.1, so perhaps it was always that high. --Theothersteve7 16:25, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * In the past 10% of the demons were voodoo demons, now 14.29% is. Beside that the amount of demons appearing compared to other mobs has also increased. So yes, the spawn rate did increase. --Icke 18:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Spawn Rate 1.2
Seems Demon spawn rate have been greatly decreased, I rarely see regular demon while holding Water Candle, have seen only three with doll since. (Both Pre- and Hardmode) 0xE1 (talk)


 * Indeed, the spawn rate is ridiculously low in the 1.2 versions. I've been trying to get the clockwork rifle and just getting one wall of flesh to spawn is a pain in the ass.

Does Voodoo Demons now only spawn once Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu is defeated at 1.3?
As the tile says, I didn't find this in the changelog.

And I did see it twice recently before I defeat any bosses(only broken two Crimson Hearts) when I entered the underworld.


 * Here's a third person agreeing with this - I just started a new (expert, if relevant) world with a hardmode-geared character and gathered three Guide Voodoo Dolls before fighting any Crimson/Corruption bosses. Spawned a couple of Eyes of Cthulu and fought off a Goblin Invasion, though I doubt these are relevant.

Two voodoo doll drops?
Is it possible for a voodoo demon to drop two voodoo dolls? My friend and I are pretty sure it happened in our Master playthrough, but I don't know how. Toucassie (talk) 11:43, 15 March 2021 (UTC)


 * No, according to the 1.4.1.2 source code, this is not possible. You might have killed another Voodoo Demon inadvertently or a multiplayer bug might have occurred. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 17:41, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
