Enchanted Sword (NPC)

The Enchanted Sword is a Hardmode enemy which spawns in the Underground Hallow. It hovers and spins before lunging at the player, traveling through any blocks to reach them. Any knockback dealt to it disrupts its attack, forcing it to pause and spin again. It can inflict the Cursed debuff.

Tips

 * The or  are excellent weapons to deal with this enemy, as even a single hit forces to recharge its spin. In effect, they can act as a shield surrounding the player, completely impassable by the Enchanted Sword.
 * The enchanted sword can pass through blocks, however they can be hit through blocks by melee weapons.

Trivia

 * The Enchanted Sword shares the same sprite as Excalibur, except with a blue glow. Fittingly, Excalibur is crafted using Hallowed Bars. Both were introduced in the 1.1 update, during which Excalibur was the strongest sword in the game.
 * The Enchanted Sword item, introduced in 1.2, has a completely different sprite.


 * This implies that the player is evil or protecting something evil, as the sword targets the player as soon as it can.
