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. It summons a rideable Flying Dutchman which can fly infinitely at very high speed. It is the fastest mount in the game.

The Flying Dutchman Mount has a max horizontal flight speed of, a diagonal speed of , and a vertical speed of. Upon achieving max speed, a ring of gold particles appear around the player and trail behind the mount. It looks a bit like a sonic boom.

The Flying Dutchman Mount deals damage upon ramming enemies while the golden particles are displayed, with increased damage depending on current speed.

Tips

 * The Flying Dutchman Mount matches Cute Fishron's underwater speed bonus, but maintains its speed whether in air or water, making it the fastest mount in the game. However, its acceleration, turning, and stopping rates are relatively slow, making it less agile than other flying mounts. The acceleration also makes its ramming capabilities difficult to utilize.
 * The Pirate Ship is generally considered the best mount in the game for its very high top speed, although its slow acceleration and deceleration holds it back.

Trivia

 * The item's name is a reference to Treasure Island, where pieces of paper marked with a black spot play an important role.
 * It may also be a reference to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, which likewise features a "Black Spot".
 * The tooltip, which mentions ‘mutiny’, may be a nod to how you have essentially hijacked the ship from Pirate Invasion enemies.
 * The buff tooltip is a reference to a line from the movie Captain Phillips, in which a shipping liner is hijacked by pirates.
