The Black Spot

The Black Spot is a mount-summon item dropped by the Flying Dutchman in Master mode with a 1/4 (25%) chance to drop. It summons a rideable Flying Dutchman which can fly infinitely at a very high speed.

The Flying Dutchman Mount has a max horizontal flight speed of 82mph, a diagonal speed of 91 and a vertical speed of 41 mph. After achieving max speed, a golden ring of particles will appear around the player, these particles also appear behind the mount as you fly.

The Flying Dutchman Mount will also deal damage from ramming into enemies after the golden ring of particles appear, and increases depending on current player velocity.

Trivia

 * The item’s tooltip, which mentions ‘mutiny’, may be a nod to how you have essentially hijacked the ship from Pirate Invasion enemies.
 * The item name and picture may be a reference to the black spot from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which Davy Jones (captain of the Flying Dutchman) inflicts upon Jack Sparrow as a way for the Kraken to find him until he settles his debt with Jones.
 * Similarly, the tooltip of the Pirate Ship Mount buff is a reference to a memetic line from the movie Captain Philips, in which a shipping liner is hijacked by pirates.
 * The item's name may also be a reference to Treasure Island, where pieces of paper marked with a black spot play a central role.
 * After achieving max speed, a ring of golden particles will appear around the player. These particles also appear behind the mount as it flies.
