The Fiery Greatsword is a sword crafted from Hellstone Bars. It may lack autoswing and have a slow swing speed, but it has the third-longest reach and second-highest damage of all swords in Pre-Hardmode. It has a chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff for 3 seconds and emits fiery light particles when swung. It is one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.

Trivia

 * The Fiery Greatsword has the highest base damage of all the swords used to craft the Night's Edge.
 * Through "usual" game progression, this is usually the last of the Night's Edge ingredients attained, requiring a trip to the Underworld and some hazardous mining. That said, it is entirely possible to make an early Underworld run and get the Fiery Greatsword even before killing Skeletron and searching for the Muramasa.
 * The Fiery Greatsword design may have been inspired by the final form (3rd) sword Rayearth from the anime, Magic Knight Rayearth.
